If you wanted an answer based on the zodiac sign, then according to Wikipedia.org (see link, below), those born under the sign of the Ox display the following characteristics: "Dependable, calm, methodical, patient, hardworking, ambitious, conventional, steady, modest, logical, resolute, tenacious. Can be stubborn, narrow-minded, materialistic, rigid, demanding."
But, if you wanted an answer concerning the significance of the year, itself, then you'll have to wait (like the rest of us!) for the year to end!

Tiger.We're currently in Year of the Ox, and Chinese New Year will be next Feb 14, when Tiger will start.
The cow/ox is the zodiac animal for the year 1997
There is no bull on the Chinese zodiac. The closest animal would be the ox, which is: Metal Ox - Years 1901 and 1961 Water Ox - Years 1913 and 1973 Wood Ox - Years 1925 and 1985 Fire Ox - Years 1937 and 1997 Earth Ox - Years 1949 and 2009
It is no longer the year of the dog. It is currently the year of the Ox. The years rotate zodiac animals. The animals are: Rat, ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Horse, Snake, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, pig
The Year of the Ox is one of the twelve Chinese astrological signs, and there were nine from 1901 to 1999. The Chinese years begin in late January or in February, and the Years of the Ox ran between these calendar years:1901 - 19021913 - 19141925 - 19261937 - 19381949 - 19501961 - 19621973 - 19741985 - 19861997 - 1998
The 12 animals of the Chinese calendar recur every 12 years. The last Year of the Ox was 2009. Therefore, the next Year of the Ox will be 2009 + 12 = 2021. Each animal of the zodiac is also associated with an element: wood, fire, earth, metal, or water. In a 60-year cycle each animal occurs 5 times, once for each of the elements. In 2009, the animal was the earth ox; in 2021 it will be the metal ox. The earth ox will not return until 2009 + 60 = 2069.
In Mandarin, 'Year of the Ox' is translated as ηεΉ΄ (niΓΊ niΓ‘n).
1961 was the Chinese year of the OX, Metal OX.
