While Western astrology aligns with the positions of stars and planets according to birth months, the Chinese zodiac offers a unique perspective based on the lunar calendar and year of birth. This ancient system assigns one of 12 animals – the Goat, Rat, Horse, Pig, Ox, Rabbit, Snake, Tiger, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Dragon – to each year. These animals are believed to impart specific personality traits and influence aspects of life like compatibility, fortune, happiness, and even career paths.
In these uncertain times, many seek guidance from astrology, and the strength associated with each animal in the Chinese zodiac provides a compelling framework. 2024, the Year of the Dragon, is predicted to be a year of good fortune, wisdom, and success, according to Chinese tradition. The Dragon, a mythical creature symbolizing good luck, sets the stage for a prosperous year.
Astrologer Valeira Black has identified five zodiac signs expected to be particularly lucky during the week of September 23-30: the Rabbit, Ox, Rooster, Pig, and Horse. Black advises embracing the power of knowledge to maximize this good fortune, emphasizing that each sign has a unique approach to harnessing their luck.
