Fire Ox personality

Fire brings a more visible conviction to the Ox's quiet persistence, so the steady supporter becomes more willing to explain what it stands for. There is warmth and momentum in this reading without losing the animal's preference for a firm footing. Its friction comes when a strongly held position is expressed with more urgency than a slower conversation can accommodate.
