HOW lucky are you in the year of the Ox?

Being born under a different sign, I decided to visit this store in Binondo called Charm General Merchandise to get some answers.

Lucky for me, store owner Maxima Tiu was kind enough to explain the lucky charms for this year.

“Ox symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work. People under this sign are born leaders and have the ability to achieve great things,” says Tiu.

She says people who born in the year of the Ox are compatible with those born under the sign of the snake, rabbit and rooster. But she says that Ox people should avoid those born under the sheep sign.

But whether or not you were born in the year of the Ox, Tiu suggests other lucky charms like chimes that can bring good luck. Displaying an Ox figurine at home or work also brings good luck.

Tiu says there is really no such thing as the “best lucky charm” for anyone.

But she says we should not rely on luck in achieving success in life. As the Ox symbolizes hard work, people should also work hard to find prosperity. And it is through sheer Ox-like determination that we achieve success.
