As September winds down, bringing with it the promise of autumnal change, the Chinese Zodiac points to a particularly lucky weekend for two signs: the Goat and the Pig. Sunday, September 29th, in particular, is set to be a day brimming with good fortune for those born under these animal signs.
Unlike Western astrology, which focuses on the positions of stars and planets at the time of birth, the Chinese Zodiac offers a unique perspective rooted in the lunar calendar and the year of birth. Each year in the Chinese calendar is represented by one of twelve animals, each believed to impart specific personality traits and influences on those born in its year, impacting aspects of life like compatibility, fortune, happiness, and even career paths.
2024 marks the Year of the Dragon, a mythical creature symbolizing good luck, wisdom, and success for all signs. But this weekend, the spotlight shines on the Goat and the Pig.
Astrologer Valeira Black, writing for YourTango, revealed that individuals born in the Year of the Goat or the Pig will be blessed with lucky messages before the start of October. She explained that the I Ching hexagram of luck for this month, Water over Thunder (#3), remains in effect until October, reminding us to persevere through challenges, regardless of what others may say. Black emphasizes that choosing the right path for ourselves and viewing obstacles as mere stepping stones will ultimately lead to good fortune.
Goat
The Year of the Goat encompasses the years 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, and 2027. Those born under this sign are known for their kind, gentle, helpful, sincere, empathetic, creative, and generous nature.
Valeria predicts that the Goat’s luck this weekend will manifest when they authentically express themselves, unburdened by negative criticism. She emphasizes that true appreciation for their spirit will bring good fortune. Furthermore, she encourages Goats to consume more leafy greens this month, suggesting that a connection to the earth through their physical body will positively impact their luck.
Pig
The Year of the Pig includes the years 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031, and 2043. Pigs are often described as laid-back, caring, considerate, and kind.
Valeria reveals that the Pig’s luck this month has a two-sided nature, akin to a coin. Sometimes fortune will be obvious, while other times it will manifest through lessons learned, helping them to shed toxic presences and people from their lives. Both sides, however, are crucial elements of their good fortune, leading them forward with strength and courage. The color and metal gold are predicted to bring particular luck to Pigs this month.
