Just like the ox, you are very hardworking, generally easygoing and unruffled. You have the abilities to inspire others with your self-assured attitude. Though you do not tend to speak much, but when the need arises to speak in public you can be pretty eloquent. At times because of your distant approach and indifferent responses, you are misunderstood and relationships suffer as a result. Rarely, and much to the surprise of those who have known you for long, you do flare up for some insignificant reason and the fury lingers for quite some time - just like an ox.
