Please keep in mind these are all general outlooks. Every person’s birthday is as unique as people; these are general indicators and not an absolute outcome. The celestial animals that combine with the Ox are the Rat, Rooster, and Snake. These animals are in a year of harmony.

Also, the Ox is a Nobleman year for those born on the Day or Year of Yang Wood, Yang Earth, or Yang Metal or if you were born in years ending 4, 8, and 0; for example, 1954, 1968, or 1980. It is said that when you have the Nobleman in your astrological chart it is believed, “angels are coming from heaven to offer rescue and support.” The Nobleman star often brings a solution to obstacles and dangers; thus, it helps the year to be more comfortable and smooth. If 2021 is your Nobleman year, go ahead and take the chance to develop new projects.

To look at the yearly outcome we look back to the last time we had a Metal Ox year. For example, 60 years ago, 1961 was a Yin Metal Ox Year. This was a significant year as the world entered a phase of serious global tensions between the U.S. and the USSR. It was also the year John F. Kennedy — born on a Yin Metal Day — took office as U.S. president. He was tasked with handling the confrontation with the USSR, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the building of the Berlin Wall to separate West and East Germany.

We can expect 2021 to bring us a year of innovation. For instance, in 1961, a Yin Metal Ox Year, this was a significant time for space exploration. It was the year that the United States and USSR put the first man into space.

Industries that are considered to be part of the “fire Element” can expect gains. Fire industries include businesses that are involved with energy, power generation, restaurants, and entertainment.

Earth related industries will also be successful. Earth industries include real estate, land development, mining, insurance, computer software, and technology.

There are certain industries that can expect to face serious competition this year. They include automobiles, engineering, banking, machinery, shipping, transportation, communication, beverages, fashion, media, books, the environment, and climate change.

In summary, industries belonging to fire and earth related elements can make progress and do well financially. All the other industries are considered to have slower progress.

Wishing you all the best Feng in 2021 and beyond!
