How the Year of the Metal Ox Brings Prosperity & Wellness

The Year of the Metal Ox & the First Trine

If you are a member of the first trine, then this Year of the Metal Ox brings great potential regarding prosperity. The First Trine and Second Trine (which the Ox belongs to) are traditional friends in the zodiac.

Therefore, Rats, Dragons, and Monkeys can look forward to seeing their ideas and current ventures grow throughout the year. This is also a good time for health as it enables them to step outside of themselves and take practical measures to improve any health issues.

Members of the first trine must be wary of being too rigid in their thinking this year. It is important to be flexible when necessary so that they can be even more prosperous.

The Year of the Metal Ox & the Second Trine

This is an excellent year of prosperity for the Ox, Snake, and Rooster. The Ox is a second trine member and bestows his fellow animals with good fortune and lucky opportunity.

If you are an Ox, Snake, or Rooster, don’t be surprised if a windfall comes your way or a chance encounter leads to something prosperous and productive.

Members of the second trine need to be wary of taking on too much responsibility. The Ox has a tendency to take a lot on its shoulders and the second trine may feel more burdened this year if they do not learn how to have a good balance between work and play.

The Year of the Metal Ox & the Third Trine

For members of the third trine, the Tiger, Horse, and Dog, this year brings greater productivity and stability to their endeavors.

This year presents a lot of opportunity for the third trine, so they are strongly advised not to waste this energy. 2022 marks the Year of the Tiger, and it is set to be more unpredictable and less grounded than the Year of the Ox, so third trine members would do well to harness the Ox’s energy.

It is a great time to embark on new health regimes, set out an exercise regime that they will find easier to stick to for the next 12 months, and press on with their material goals and long-term projects.

Members of the third trine need to be careful of being too rebellious against authority.

The Ox does not like having his authority questioned, and third trine members are rebellious by nature, especially the Tiger and Horse. They could land themselves in trouble if they display a show of rebellion, which is done without thinking carefully. It is best for them to look before leaping and to think before speaking this year.
