My year, apparently.

and yours, if you are going to turn 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 etc. this year…

This is because in the Chinese zodiac calendar, it is now the Year of the Ox. Reputably, if it’s your year’s turn in the zodiac calendar, then great things will happen for you this year. This is probably quite true for the most famous person born in the Year of the Ox. Then again, other famous Ox politicians include Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler, Napolean and Margaret Thatcher. Fortunately, “cool” celebrities include George Clooney, Jack Nicholson and Bruce Springsteen. Apparently.

It’s just a shame that all the long-term things I’m worrying about or hoping for happen early *next* year, just when the Year of the Ox ends.

Then again, considering Ox’s are meant to be “born leaders”, I’m not sure how accurate the whole Chinese zodaic belief is. Any more than the Western horoscope really…

My policy towards zodiacs and horoscopes and online quizzes and such is to take only the results that I happen to like. (Which is, well, confirmation bias, only conscious and cynical.) Hence, I'm a Water Dog, because the Chinese zodiac is the only one with good characters in it.
