Unlike Western astrology, the Chinese horoscope is based on the Chinese calendar and the year a person was born, not the month.
The animal race is said to be based on the legendary 12 animal races – goat, rat, horse, pig, ox, rabbit, snake, tiger, monkey, rooster, dog and dragon.
People are often associated with the zodiac animal of their year of birth, and it is believed that certain animals get along better than others. It is a common practice that the right combination of animals can even bring wealth to families.
As for individuals, astrologer and Tarot reader Valeria Black suggests that some animals experience the most luck this week.
Sharing her insight with YourTango, she said: “Stand strong and you will find your strength driven by luck. This is the collective’s weekly luck and fortune horoscope for September 16-22, 2024.”
Snake
One of the luckiest signs in the Chinese zodiac this week is the snake. Associated with the years 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013, Valeria urged that those born in the year of the Snake should be generous and charitable towards others.
He said, “If you allow yourself the space to be a light to those who need it most, in any way you can find great wisdom at the end of your efforts. In short: this happiness calls you to give happiness to another.”
When it comes to lucky charms, the color red is recognized as a significant sign for those associated with the Snake animal sign.
Horse
The happiness experienced by people associated with the Horse sign is more subtle, so much so that Valeria urged those linked to the sign not to look for it, but to just be grateful that it is there.
He said, “Remember to set strong boundaries in your life as you live. Your heart guides you to what is right for you and away from what is not. Luck paves the way behind the scenes.”
The years of the Horse include 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 2002 and 2014. People born in these years should beware of the color green this week as a sign of luck.
Swine
Wishes can come true for those born in the year of the pig (1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 and 2019). The astrologer suggested keeping a journal of future intentions and being sure of what you want, as luck will “work its magic” once those wishes are locked away.
However, Valeria cautioned that you need to take the time to do this because “the window of opportunity is truly golden.” Look for the color gold in your everyday life this week and pay attention to gold jewelry – that’s the lucky Pig this week.
Goat
One of the luckiest signs in the Chinese zodiac this week is the goat. Associated with the years 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015, Valeria claimed that those born in the year of the goat can experience overnight success or more publicity in their chosen path.
He said, “For the rest of you, your luck shines in the spotlight so brightly that you may get cold feet from the amount of breaking your comfort zone, but you have to accept your fate.” When it comes to lucky charms, the colors red and blue are associated with this animal sign.
Monkey
The luck experienced by people associated with the Monkey sign means they have “nothing to fear” this week. Valeria suggested using a journal to record thoughts and ideas, and maybe a few fears to wish them away.
He said, “Now is the time to rise to the occasion and show others what you are made of.”
The years of the Horse include 1944, 19546, 1968, 1980, 20024 and 2016. People born in these years should beware of gold as a lucky sign this week.
