Ox compatibility

What Ox people are like

Once you take something on, you see it through, quietly and steadily. You show things through action rather than words, so you may seem reserved at first, but people trust you more the longer they know you. You like building things up step by step without rushing. You can be stubborn, and a decision you've made rarely changes. Quiet time with familiar people is where you recharge.

In love

Putting feelings into words may not be easy, but you show your heart through steady presence. Being there on ordinary days matters more to you than big occasions, and a relationship you begin tends to last. Sudden shifts and push-and-pull games wear you out.
