Ox children are robust and enduring, but deeply sensitive within. You may never know when you have hurt an Ox baby’s feelings. They thrive on discipline and routine, and become upset if things are changed without explanation. Never ever practice, ‘Do as I say, not as I do.’ An Ox child needs to respect you or he will simply go his or her own way.

The Dragon Moon ends on the 11th. Until then take things easy and be kind to yourself. Take a day off and read a book, pamper yourself or go fishing. Do not risk anything unusual.

The 12th’s New Lotus Moon offers romance or new friendships, so be bold enough to respond to other people’s advances. Your home life will offer serenity and chances to catch up on chores, decorating and the garden. Ignore work, study or creative frustrations. You will face blocked progress and awkward attitudes. Beyond the 16th, stay thoughtful over spending and don’t be tempted into bright sounding schemes.

Around the 26th’s Full Lotus Moon, be sure not to miss appointments or mislay anything. A significant contact or friend could let you down. Be understanding or you’ll exacerbate the situation. Not everyone is as conscientious as you.
