Pretension crumbles before the pragmatic presence of the Ox/Aries -- you are the epitome of the stable achiever. Wide-eyed and ambitious in your go-getting youth like a good Aries, you can slug it out toe-to-toe with the world for years before it fails to meet up with the abnormally high expectations that are part and parcel of this your sign. Then it's time for the grand disillusionment and retreat into sanctuary -- usually typified by a homey nest.
Romantic you are not, thanks to your Ox background. Watch out for a tendency to give practical gifts come Christmastime, like new underwear (not lingerie) -- they won't be fully appreciated. Down-home coziness turns you on, so, if someone else wants to start up a love affair with your hardworking country style self, they'd better practice their hewing-of-wood and drawing-of-water skills. A simple gingham frock is highly recommended -- either that or a pair of bib overalls.
