According to KarmaWeather.com "According to the 2021 Chinese horoscope, the Year of the Metal Ox 2021 is synonymous with hard work, discipline, loyalty and a fair appreciation of tangible reality. On its advent, from the Chinese New Year 2021 onwards, the characteristics and dynamics that gain influence are constancy, a taste for traditions, but also the internalization of feelings, the sense of savings and the attraction for discipline."
It goes on to state [and I summarize, to read in full follow the link above], "a year governed by the Ox is often synonymous with prosperity and consolidation of gains, it nevertheless presents its share of obstacles to overcome. So this year, KarmaWeather advises the 12 Chinese zodiac signs to progress with rigor and determination on the path they will have traced for themselves. This is why in 2021, and in order to anticipate the difficulties to be overcome without giving up on your dreams, it is good practice to focus more on what is real and concrete to avoid getting lost in illusions as desirable as their taste is potentially bitter. To be clearer, it is essential in 2021 to first prove yourself in the desired field of activity in order to be able to earn or keep your position.
Metal Ox: Influence on the 12 the Chinese zodiac signs in 2021
In traditional Chinese astrology, the Metal Ox refers to patriarchy, ethics, righteousness, construction, frankness, intuition, versatility, hard work and respect for others. With the Metal Ox, the spirit prevails over the heart. Faced with this slow rise in rigorism, it is a question of finding the right strategy to succeed in the game." ..."In terms of social relationships, it is also during the Ox Years that excess anger causes the most irreversible damage. The Chinese zodiac signs with Yang polarity (in particular the Tiger, the Horse and the Dog), but also the Goat (Yin Chinese animal antagonistic of the Ox), must be particularly vigilant on this trait of character specific to the Yin Metal."
Yin Metal: Chinese element of 2021
According to the precepts of Wu Xing and Feng Shui, the 2021 Chinese zodiac element, Metal, is synonymous with duration, resistance and loyalty. It also designates teamwork and interest in the community. In Chinese cosmology, it is associated with the planet Venus, with Autumn (the harvest season) and drought. Metal also corresponds to the West direction, in symbolic association with the sunset. At the level of the human body, in a Chinese medicine and food approach, Metal is linked to the lungs, to the white color and to the pungent taste and flavors. If the Yang Metal is a sign of hardness and sharpness, like a sword used to protect one's home or a scythe essential to collect crops, Yin Metal rather corresponds to a metal ornament whose object is to embellish or even a table instrument (spoon, fork), whose function is to satiate appetites.
Lucky colors of the year 2021: Green and Red
According to KarmaWeather's 2021 Chinese horoscope, the colors to favor this year in order to balance the energy flows of the 5 elements of Chinese cosmology and Feng Shui are Green (Wood element) and Red (Fire element). To increase your luck in 2021, you can consider using a green wallet (with a touch of red only *) or also wear clothes, accessories or amulets incorporating a combination of red and green.
On an energy level, the Wood / Fire generation cycle brings the possibility of increasing the quality of social interactions and allows a more determined self-assertion. Used under the domination of Yin Metal, the Wood / Fire couple also gives the means to obtain more luck with a view to renewing contracts, better management of investments and more effective planning of collective projects.

* According to ancient Chinese precepts, a red wallet (color of the Fire element) should always be avoided, because money would burn you between your fingers.
Lifestyle and health in 2022
The 2021 Chinese horoscope for the Year of the Ox advises you to favor the fresh air of the countryside or the mountains to recharge your batteries and stay healthy. As the Metal element refers directly to the lungs, beware of respiratory infections.

"Love, friends, family and births in 2021
The Chinese love horoscope of 2021 heralds the primacy brought to the family, in particular the well-being and education of children. Indeed, the Metal Yin element of the Chinese year 2021, associated with the second animal of Chinese astrology, are clear indicators of the sentimental and family priorities of the Year of the Ox."
In 2021, the conservative spirit of the Ox promotes family environments with traditional values."
"The fact remains that respect for others, for their ideas as well as their values, remains the main foundation of any quality relationship, whether in the context of assistance or the initiation and preservation of a friendly or professional relationship. The Year of the Ox 2021 therefore particularly encourages skeptical and pessimistic minds to have more confidence in life and in their neighbor, with the constant concern of maintaining a rigorous discipline, essential according to them to the good evolution of each human being.
Chinese New Year and horoscope 2021: In short

To maximize your potential for success within your company, you will need to demonstrate regularity and ethics, while strengthening your competitiveness through a deeper understanding of the requirements specific to your sector of activity. Finally, remember that the Ox (Buffalo) is also the symbol of spring. The tale of the Milky Way separating the two lovers, the Weaver and the Herdsman, is directly attached to its legend. By extension, during the course of 2021, love affairs at a distance or couples who cannot get together will find annual energetic ground favorable to the peaceful preservation of their romantic relationships."
