Happy Chinese New Year 2021!
Year of the Ox: Steady work on your dream
Welcome to a steady, slower pace ahead in 2021. It’s the Year of the Ox, and it’s a time to build and consolidate upon the past with a change of gear from last year.
Try the advice of Minnesota’s own Babe the Blue Ox: Take on challenges with a good plan and plenty of teammates…and don’t rush things. This is a year to work with purpose. Focus on your group and community.
According to Donna Stellhorn in her book, Chinese Astrology: 2021 Year of the Metal Ox, here are tips to guide you this year:
| Say yes to: | Say no to: |
| Planning before actions | A frantic pace |
| A change of gear, slowing it down | Rushing to the next thing |
| Working in teams, not alone | Irritability |
| Staying calm and going with a steady pace | Skipping steps needed to achieve a plan |
| Seeing what needs to be done and doing it | Going it alone |
| Focusing on the group: At work and home | Procrastination |
