Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Capricorn Ox

Capricorns embody the autumnal period, around the mid- to late-sixties of a human lifetime. They tend to have an ingrained faith in their own abilities, as if they were born already blessed with great life experience. They are grounded by their element of Earth: diligent, patient, and adept at conserving resources to further their significant ambitions. Above all, Capricorns are masterful at exercising control, at understanding and wielding power. The challenges they face tend to arise from an innate pessimism, an impression that time is running out for them to capitalize on their abundant skills.

The second animal in the Eastern zodiac, who in the Jade Emperor's race carried his friend the Rat to victory, is the Ox (sometimes Buffalo). The Ox possesses an almost infinite supply of determination, fortitude, and strength. They are born leaders, almost incapable of self-doubt, their drive to achieve success matched by the forcefulness of their usually unwavering opinions. Behind their resolute public personas, Oxes long to be masters of their own domain. People born under this sign strive to build a secure environment for themselves and their loved ones, where the passions that hide beneath their outward calm (and occasional intransigence) can safely be shared.
