People born under this sign are known for being patient and humble. The traditional story of the zodiac race also describes the Ox's patient nature. According to legend, the Jade Emperor invited animals to race across a swift river, to determine their position in the zodiac. Though the ox was likely to win, the clever Rat hitched a ride with the ox, jumping into first place. With this, the ox became the second in the zodiac.
