Born in 1985: the Wood Ox (乙丑) in Korean Saju
1985 is a Wood Ox year — 乙丑 in the 60-year cycle.
Oxen are patient, steady and hard-working. They don't rush, but they don't quit either. People trust them with important things.
Wood years shape people who grow and plan — idealistic, kind and focused on the future.
In Korean Saju the year starts at Ipchun (입춘), not on January 1. In 1985 Ipchun fell on February 4, 1985, 06:14 (Korea time, 21:14 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Rat.

In 2026 people born in 1985 turn 41.
Ox in 2026
Your animal has a calm relationship with this year's animal: no big storms. Results depend on your own plan — a good year to build steadily.
Ox in 2027
Your animal clashes with this year's animal. Expect movement: a new home, a new job, travel or breaking an old pattern. Move on purpose instead of by force.
