The twelve Animal Signs
for Men

Ox (Buffalo) man
His productive capacities
The Buffalo male can adjust himself to any kind of job on the express condition that no one bosses him. It is why he prefers professions which allow him to remain independent or in which he can be in a position of command. Ironically, this man who rejects or at least resents superior authority is strict and dictatorial toward those under his orders.
Endowed with organizational qualities, an acute sense of realism and the determination to carry out his plans to the bitter end, he proves a highly efficient businessman. He often shows himself ruthless toward his competitors as his resolution to defend his own interests is total and uncompromising. One may reproach him for his egoism, but to him business is business.
He is noted for being careful and reliable when it comes to money dealings. Having a gift for inspiring confidence, he can know brilliant successes as a banker or financier. He always succeeds in finding the necessary funds if and when he wants to start a business of his own. With a little bit of chance, it is not impossible for him to make a fortune.
The jobs that suit the native best, however, are those which have a concrete dimension and spare him brains-racking. He loves working with his hands, and it is why he can make an excellent handyman, craftsman or construction worker. It is nevertheless advisable that he confine himself to the main parts and let someone else put the finishing touches.
One can find many happy Buffalo men as real estate agents, garage owners, veterinary surgeons, building contractors, managing agents, architects or town planners - all of them work on something concrete. Owing to his earthy roots, the native generally finds his salvation in doing jobs that are more or less related to the soil - as a farmer, horticulturist, cattle breeder, sericulturist, bee-keeper, or as an agronomist, fertilizer specialist, biologist.
The Buffalo sign offers a generous crop of painters of genius - from Ching Hao to Rubens, from Renoir to Van Gogh, from Cocteau to many others. Other Buffalo males express themselves marvelously in different artistic ways such as dancing, singing, modeling or sculpture.
But there are definitely some sectors of activity which the native is well advised not to embark upon. Straightforward and unsuspecting, he is certainly not made for trade or for any profession where cunning and an easy conscience are called for. Neither is he for public service which rejects initiative and independence of mind. Jobs which require frequent travels are equally unsuitable for him since he needs stability and order.
However tedious or unrewarding his job may be, he is not prone to give it up for another as he is always obscurely afraid of change. As for inactivity, it means death to him, and the worst punishment that could be inflicted on him would be to force him to endless vacation.
