Horoscope Forecast for 2009 : OX

Forecast for the Ox

The Coming Year: The Year of the Earth Ox invites you to reach for the stars. Love, money and luck are headed your way, and it's up to you to make the most of these gifts. Your personal life will be especially rewarding. Career demands will ease, allowing you to spend more time with friends and family. There's never been a better year to go on an extended vacation. That's a relief, as Oxen don't fare well in stressful, busy times.

You'll enjoy exuberant health, particularly if you're well rested. If you've ever wanted to go back to school, 2009 is the year to do so. This is your big chance to become a master craftsman, gourmet chef, organic farmer or professional landscaper. You've always been clever with your hands. It will take a while to reach your goals, but if you begin the journey now, your success is virtually guaranteed. Buying your own home is also a possibility, so don't assume that a dream property is out of reach. By working with a bank or lending institution, you could be living in a beautiful country estate by the end of the year. Your impeccable taste will enable you to create a gorgeous haven from the outside world. Do yourself a favor and reduce your work schedule. Your colleagues won't turn to dust if you're not on the job 24 hours a day, so take this opportunity to stop and smell the flowers. You've earned a break!

Love: Things will go swimmingly for you this year, which means you can't take anything -- or anyone -- for granted. If you're in a relationship, take extra pains to attend to your partner's needs. This may be difficult, as you have a hard time expressing your emotions. In the event you earn lots of money while he or she suffers a career setback, you may want to encourage your mate to spend the year pursuing a cherished dream.

If your marriage is in trouble, you need to either get counseling or break things off altogether. 2009 marks a "make or break" point in your intimate relations. Single? You could meet someone special between September and November. Don't embark on this relationship lightly -- Earth Ox years favor long-term unions. You could meet the love of your life in a cooking, gardening or pottery class.

Finances: The Year of the Earth Ox invites you to take a long-term approach to finance. Slow and steady wins the race this year, especially with regard to jobs involving art and design. If you deal with real estate, avoid get-rich quick schemes; developing a property over a long period of time will yield greater profits. Fortunately, you possess enough patience to pace yourself accordingly.

If you want a raise or promotion, ask for one between May and July when your boss will be receptive to such requests. Although your wealth won't see a huge spike this year, it will be steady, which is a definite plus in this economy. Count your blessings. In the event you decide to launch a business, start small -- can always expand as you gain experience. It's better to do one thing well and efficiently than try to be all things to all people.
