Zodiac Sign: Ox (Associated with the Branch Chou) Auspicious Stars 2026: Zi Wei / Long De Maleficent Stars 2026: Bao Bai / Tian E / Liu Hai

Years: 1925 - Yi Chou (乙丑年) 1937 - Ding Chou (丁丑年) 1949 - Ji Chou (己丑年) 1961 - Xin Chou (辛丑年) 1973 - Gui Chou (癸丑年） 1985 - Yi Chou (乙丑年) 1997 - Ding Chou (丁丑年) 2009 - Ji Chou (己丑年) 2021 - Xin Chou (辛丑年) Auspicious Stars 2026: Zi Wei / Long De Maleficent Stars 2026: Bao Bai / Tian E / Liu Hai Do you belong to the Branch of Chou ? Example: A friend born on February 1, 1985, in the Gregorian calendar is not an Ox but a Rat. The Start of Spring (Lichun) that year was on February 4th in the Gregorian calendar. Only those born after February 4th belong to the Ox zodiac . How to calculate your Chinese zodiac sign: You need to see when the Start of Spring (Lichun) occurs in that year. You belong to the new zodiac sign only after Lichun passes, not after the Chinese New Year (Spring Festival). This is a common misconception everyone should know. Many journalists get this wrong; they think the zodiac changes on the Chinese New Year, which is incorrect. Many people today, unlike our parents' generation, lack knowledge of the traditional calendar, leading to numerous errors. Of course, this is partly due to a break in cultural transmission half a century ago in China, so we can't entirely blame them. The reason for mentioning this this year is to prevent future generations from continuing this incorrect narrative. Ox friends, this year you are in a state of "Harming the Tai Sui" (Hai Tai Sui), but the auspicious stars are very powerful and can resolve the problems. This year, be careful not to oppose your benefactors. Do not forget the help others have given you in the past because of temporary conflicts. Ox friends should pay attention to the following points to protect your auspicious stars: Avoid attending funerals (white events): It is believed that during a Tai Sui year, your personal energy field is weaker. Funeral settings have heavy negative energy (Sha Qi) and grief energy, making it easy to pick up inauspicious energy, worsening your luck. All zodiac auspicious stars fear turbid, unclean energy. Avoid visiting the sick if possible: Hospitals have heavy sickness energy, and those who are chronically ill often have poor luck. Frequently visiting such places might absorb negative energy, affecting your own health luck. Avoid making major changes impulsively: Such as blindly changing jobs, making rash investments, entering partnerships, or resigning lightly. During a Tai Sui year, luck fluctuates greatly, and major decisions are prone to misjudgment, leading to losses. Focus on stability. Be mindful of gossip and disputes, avoid arguments: A Tai Sui year makes one emotionally unstable and prone to offending petty people. Therefore, be cautious with words and deeds, maintain a low profile, and avoid getting involved in arguments, quarrels, or lawsuits. Avoid remote, Yin-heavy places: Such as old houses, cemeteries, basements, etc. These places are believed to lack Yang energy and can easily attract negative entities, which is particularly unfavorable for those with already weak energy fields during a Tai Sui year. Avoid "breaking ground on the Tai Sui's head": This is the most direct "Harming the Tai Sui" action. It refers to excavation, construction, renovation, or other ground-breaking work in the annual Tai Sui sector (for 2026, it's the South), which can severely disturb the Tai Sui and invite disaster. If construction is necessary, choose an auspicious date and perform a ritual to inform the Tai Sui. Ground-breaking in the opposite direction (the "Po Tai Sui" side, North) is also not recommended. This year, if you must break ground in the South or North sectors, be careful to choose an auspicious date. The Master's analysis for all zodiac signs is based on calculations, not random talk. Here you will see the sharing of auspicious and maleficent stars. These zodiac sharings are not superstition but are based on scientific calculation methods derived from the calculation of the zodiac with the current year lunar code reactions . This year, the flowing year's Zi Wei star enters the Chou (Ox) palace. This indicates that the fortune of Ox friends in 2026 will be characterized by nobility, leadership, authority, confidence, inclusiveness, and self-centeredness. Among the zodiac stars, Zi Wei is a noble star, signifying that the fortune of Ox friends this year won't be bad at all! This year, your work leadership will be recognized and acknowledged. You will be more confident compare to past years. Coupled with the Long De star, this year should be one where many things can be accomplished; when problems arise, it's easy to get help from leadership to resolve them. They also see your potential and will save opportunities for you. The Long De star is an auxiliary star that enhances auspicious stars, possessing the characteristics of boosting benefactor and resolving misfortune. It is a star that can turn bad luck into good, capable of neutralizing the maleficent stars for Ox friends this year. This year, the benfactor matching with Zi Wei, the emperor star, will likely be superiors, elders, authority figures, or social elites. If you encounter problems this year, you can boldly seek assistance and help from such people you know. The disaster-resolving nature of Long De will help you receive timely assistance from these people when you face difficulties, crises, or legal matters, turning major issues into minor ones and minor issues into none. People will also help because they see your value. As it is a "Harming the Tai Sui" year, do not lose your temper with those who have helped you in the past, as it can easily damage the energy of the Long De star. For Ox friends, this year is a good year for gaining both fame and wealth, and improving status. Use this year's good luck to resolve matters from the past and this year. Remember, don't nitpick too much over small matters with those who have helped you in the past, as it can damage your fortune. Doing this well makes it easy to achieve breakthroughs in your career, receive promotions from superiors, gain favor from clients, or win awards and reputation. Personally, within teams, your status and reputation will improve, granting you authority. Although Zi Wei and Long De primarily represent rather than direct wealth stars, the support of benefactor naturally brings better opportunities and resources, thereby indirectly promoting wealth growth. For example, being given a key project, an important client, or a promotion opportunity, all of which come with financial benefits. Under the combined influence of Zi Wei and Long De, they can neutralize the negative effects of the maleficent stars, effectively reducing their destructive power, transforming impacts into challenges that must be faced but can be overcome. Your financial luck this year won't be bad; it's easy to gain financial benefits due to this influence and the support of the auspicious stars. This year, you should actively expand your network, strive for support from those in higher positions; your efforts can achieve twice the result wth half the effort. Having discussed the auspicious stars, let's talk about the maleficent stars for Ox friends. This year, Ox friends have the Bao Bai / Tian E stars entering their life palace. Its core characteristic is sudden, unexpected decline from prosperity to ruin. Be cautious this year, as events with this characteristic might occur. When handling major, critical matters that must not fail, guard your secrets. Don't let competitors know too many details of your projects to prevent them from sabotaging you. Also, have backup plans for unexpected events. If Ox friends do not manage their defenses well this year, there might be significant ups and downs. When luck is good, don't be overconfident, as this star can easily cause major fluctuations, leading to a phenomenon of rising high and then falling sharply. This is particularly noticeable in your career project planning and finances. This year, you should focus on holding steady, avoid rash advances. In investments, avoid high-risk, high-leverage investments; do not invest your entire savings based on rumors. Be extra cautious with new partnerships or project expansions; read contract terms carefully. Control impulsive spending and large, unnecessary expenses. As long as you are careful, Zi Wei and Long De will escort you; just don't underestimate the situation or take risks. With the Bao Bai star in your life palace, your behavior should be cautious in words and deeds, and accumulating good deeds can help resolve the maleficent star's influence. At the beginning of the year, you can visit a temple to pay respects to the Tai Sui and pray for a smooth and peaceful year. The Bao Bai / Tian E star disrupts the stability of Zi Wei. Ox friends this year may possess pioneering and reformist spirit, not sticking to old ways, but life may have greater fluctuations, being prone to significant ups and downs, needing to undergo transformations to achieve career success. However, matters are likely to be resolved and have good outcomes.
