Hardworking, introverted and humble, it is said that you dislike the limelight, but you are usually thrust into it because of your talent. Blessed with self-confidence, you are usually brought in to handle jobs others are unable to do and always see them through to completion. You have a strong sense of duty and can sometimes be authoritarian. Although many oxen are stand up comedians, politicians or actors, they can be surprisingly shy in one-to-one situations. That’s why many have a reputation for being reserved.
Suitable careers: stand-up comedians, actors, carpenters, managers, mechanics, sculptors, teachers, architects, real estate and politics.

Some sort of change in environment, whether physical or mental is forecast; it is possible you may change residence or may alter your belief system quite dramatically. Avoid excessive or addictive behaviour is wise as it may affect your positive attitude. Keep your vices at bay and 2008 will be a year to remember.

Your fortunes in 2007
You will find that much of your time will be spent handling family matters and dealing with consuming issues that pull you away from all that you would rather be doing. That aside, there is a lot to look forward too, there are many opportunities that come your way, especially through contacts made during the previous year. Do not take on more than is realistically possible, because your time will not entirely be in your control. The year is also auspicious for romance although you must be aware not to see through rose tinted glasses. You may need to sift through the frogs before you find the one.
