Chinese New Year kicks off on 26 January this year and is usually celebrated for five days with firecrackers and rituals to prepare for a prosperous coming year. As the second animal in the Chinese Zodiac, the Ox is the sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work. According to the Chinese Horoscope, 2009 will be a year of the ‘Earth Ox’, and as a stoic and quiet figure the Ox prefers stability that will bring an end to tough economic times.
