Born April 26, 1933 her primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Water OX. As with the Wood Ox, the Water Ox is more likely to be at home in the meadow rather than the bull ring and is the most communicative and literary of the breed. She is often well liked and popular because she is more sensitive and flexible than others of this sign and yet retains its basic strength and sense of responsibility. Although the typical Ox is often a loner, she can be quite social.
