Unlike Western astrology, which revolves around the position of stars and planets according to birth months, the Chinese zodiac offers a unique approach based on the lunar calendar and year of birth.
Each year in the Chinese calendar is represented by one of 12 animals: the Goat, Rat, Horse, Pig, Ox, Rabbit, Snake, Tiger, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Dragon.
Passed down through centuries, each animal is believed to impart specific personality traits to those born in its year, influencing aspects of life such as compatibility, fortune, happiness and even career paths.
In these uncertain modern times, many Brits turn to astrology for guidance, taking their lead from the strength associated with each different animal.
According to Chinese tradition, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon. A mythical creature that is said to symbolise good luck, this year should continue to be a time of good fortune, wisdom and success.

Astrologer Valeira Black says that the week between September 23 and September 30 will see five signs graced with good luck next week.
The astrologer told YourTango that individuals born in the year of the Rabbit, Ox, Rooster, Pig, and Horse are likely to be the luckiest. She said: “Mix it up or do it your way. There’s no one-size-fits-all here. But the ones who embrace the power of knowledge will always be the luckiest of them all.
Rabbit
The Year of the Rabbit is associated with the years 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011 and 2023. A symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese culture, Rabbits are said to be gentle, kind, peaceful, charming and balanced.
According to the astrologer, “your luck this week will shine and dazzle wherever you go. So don’t be surprised if it also peeks out of your skin through an overnight glow-up! Watch out for energy vampires, though! They may come flocking to your flame and create problems if you ignore the red flags”.
It may benefit you to work with the crystal Lapis Lazuli or Aquamarine, and the colours red and blue will also bring you luck this week.
Ox
People born in 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 and 2021 have the Ox as their Chinese zodiac sign. Known to be practical, patient, determined and loyal, Oxen are known for being hardworking and reliable.
She said: “This week is tied to your career or personal endeavours to make your life more stable and beautiful. It will bring you opportunities out of the blue and give you a chance to prove yourself. Nurture your gifts of this luck until you manifest your desires. Expend time, effort, and consideration to make this luck for you.
“If you feel called to, maintain a journal where you note your ideas, inspiration, and observations. These will also affect your luck.” The colour green, especially dark green silk, will be lucky for you this week.
Rooster
Associated with the years 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005 and 2017, the Rooster is known to be hardworking, confident, emotional and brave. Next week could see all those traits deliver rewards.
Valeria said “This week’s luck has a stillness that will bring out hidden talents deep within your soul and unlock hidden wisdom. It will feel as if you are in a bubble of your own while the rest of the world flashes around in anxiety and pain. Lean into this luck, and it will bring insights into your next life adventure.
She also suggests “Meditating with a guided soundtrack can directly help with this, too, especially if it’s a focused meditation like “Meet your future self” or “What you need to know now.” If you feel called to, work with Lapis Lazuli to help you open your third eye more, while the colours red and purple will be powerful and lucky for you this week.”
Pig
Those born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 or 2019 are all Year of the Pig. They are said to be generous, diligent and compassionate, as well as energetic, enthusiastic, and love to have fun.
Valeria warns that “this headline probably sounds strange, but that’s because your luck this week has an eccentric quality to it”.
She adds: “Lean into it, and you will discover wild surprises and delights in the oddest places. Who knows? Watching ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ may do the same for you.
“Just remember: the only person who can hold you back from embracing this luck is you. So don’t let guilt or peer pressure ruin this for you. It’s time to be unapologetically yourself and have fun along the way.”
When it comes to colours, blue and green will be lucky for you this week.
Horse
People born in 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014 and 2026 fall under the Year of the Horse. Active and energetic, these people are full of enthusiasm with a cheerful disposition.
Valeria said: “Your luck this week is extreme and powerful. If you have felt mistreated in the past, bullied, or held back from opportunities because of shady shenanigans behind the scenes or outright discrimination, this luck is here to set the record straight. You won’t have to do anything to embrace this luck, though. Just live your life and watch karma unfold.
“If you feel called to, now’s a good time to reconnect with your inner child, too. It will help you heal and unlock deep insights along the way.”
The colours red, blue, and yellow will be lucky for you this week.
