Year of the Ox — 1925

Overview of 1925

People born in 1925 entered a world where an era of upheaval and transformation — the shadow of world wars, the tide of national awakening, and the dawn of rapid technological advancement all left their mark on these years. Astrologically, they carry the 乙丑 signature — the Ox (diligent, dependable, and quietly determined), tempered by the ‘Sea-Metal’ NaYin (Gold hidden in the ocean depths — potential not yet discovered, treasure waiting to be found.). The wood stem adds vitality, benevolence, and an upward-reaching drive. Notable individuals born in 1925 include Paul Newman, Margaret Thatcher, Robert F. Kennedy. Favorable Five Elements: Water (nourishes Wood), Wood (same element), Fire (Wood produces Fire, channeling excess energy).

The 乙丑 Pillar (position 2 of 60)

Position 0 in the 60-year cycle belongs to 乙丑 — where 乙’s energy (the flexible, climbing energy of vines and grass — adaptable, persistent, quietly pervasive) meets the Ox’s domain — steady endurance, patient strength, and unshakeable resolve. The ‘Sea-Metal’ NaYin overlays this with its own imagery, suggesting a personality where yi qualities are filtered through ox instincts. This exact combination recurs only every 60 years — the previous was 1865, the next will be 1985.
