As the rodent of 2020 bids a speedy exit stage left, the Ox ambles towards the podium to herald in a New Year. The temperament shift is slow and one of transition, inviting us to pause for thought and recenter. I’ve taken a leaf from the Ox’s handbook; and chewed the cud while ruminating on the ruminant.

Chinese metaphysics offers a myriad of methods to decode 2021’s comings and goings. Last year’s purely visual forecast honed in on but one predictive tool - visual elemental outcomes in Interiors¹. This year we dive deep and lean into the written word to contemplate what’s masquerading behind the pensive gaze of the affable bovine. In Part One of the Yin Metal Ox forecast we looked back via the legacy of sexagenary cycles. Now in Part Two, we’ll unpack 2021’s Elemental alchemy, Zodiacal tendencies, Cow Commerce and ponder some industry Cash Cows*.

2021 Ox Year Forecast :: PART ONE

January 3, 2021 FENG・SHUI ・ISM

Collectively we bid adieu to a year like no other. The measure of 20/20 vision acuity was not mirrored in the year it shared with its namesake —2020 blindsided us. ‘Twas the year that stood still, while the global pandemic that brought nations to their knees still marches on. From a Chinese metaphysical perspective the outgoing year lived up to all it promised. Especially in the closing month, when the vermin disease-carrying Rat did double duty – a Rat month, in a Rat year – in opposition to the Travelling Horse - with a rapid spike in the spread of the virus. On Feb. 3rd Chinese Solar calendar resets and the Chinese New Year begins. The more widely known and celebrated New Year festivities actually indicates the beginning of the Lunar New Year; this year it falls on 12th February 2021 - forming a palindrome – 12022021. Will the root origin of the reverse sequence word ring true for 2021 - ‘to run’, ‘back again’? Or will it be ‘reversed’ in the Year of the Ox?
