This is confusing two different types of horoscope.
Leo belongs to standard 'western' astronomy
The year of the Ox is a Chinese form of classification of birth years.
You cannot use both for the Chinese Horoscope, you can see what year you are born in the Chinese New Year and see on how that will go on for the year of the ox
Chinese New Year for 2009 is on the 26th of January: the Year of the Yin Earth Ox.
In Chinese Astrology each sign is represented by an animal. There are 12 animal signs in total, each corresponding to a lunar year, with each sign also having 5 elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal & Water). In certain years, particular elements are more prominent. For instance in 2005, the 'wood' element is very prominent so therefore it is 2005, Year of the Wood Rooster. The special combination of the Sign and Element only occurs once every 60 years.
As Chinese Astrology is one of the oldest types of Astrology, the origins of naming the years after animals is unknown. But a popular legend is that Buddha (c.563-c.483 B.C) invited all the animals to visit him, and as a demonstration of thanks to those who came, he dedicated a year to each of the animals according to the order in which they arrived: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
In Chinese horoscope 1985 was the Year of the Ox.
In Chinese horoscope 1961 was the Year of the Ox.
The Chinese sign for the year 1937 from 11th February is the Ox.
From 14 Feb 2010 onwards, year of the Tiger, before that year of the Ox
