Two Chinese zodiac signs will be the luckiest this weekend
With just a few days left in September, the seasonal change brings new opportunities for many of us.
According to the Chinese zodiac, two signs in particular will be the luckiest this weekend, with Sunday, September 29 set to be a particularly fortuitous day for some.
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.
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 for all signs.
In a recent post, astrologer Valeira Black told YourTango that individuals born in the year of the Goat or the Pig will be blessed with lucky messages before the start of the new month.
Explaining that the I Ching hexagram of luck this month remains Water over Thunder (#3) until October, she said: “It reminds us not to throw in the towel if problems arise right out of the gate. No matter who may say otherwise, it’s not a sign that you should stop and turn around.
“As long as you have chosen the right path for yourself, approaching these occurrences as mere challenges on the journey will help you find your luck.”
Goat
The Year of the Goat is associated with the years 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, and 2027. Goats are said to be kind, mild-mannered, helpful, sincere, empathetic, creative and generous
Talking about the Goat’s good luck this weekend, Valeria said: “Your luck will reveal itself when you don’t censor yourself or hold back because of negative criticism from certain people. The ones who appreciate your fullness and spirit are the ones who will bring your luck to you.”
She added: “You are also encouraged to eat more leafy greens this month. It may sound odd, but a connection to the earth through your physical body will positively impact your luck, too.”
Pig
The Year of the Pig falls in 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031, and 2043. People born in this year are often said to be laid-back, caring, considerate and kind.
Valeria says: ”Pig, your luck this month has a two-sided quality to it, almost like a coin. Sometimes you will find heads and other times tails. Yet both are part of the same coin and are part of your luck. So don’t underestimate the power of either side.
“One side will bring you blatant luck. The other side will teach you moderation and help you remove toxic presences and people from your life. Together, both will help you move forward with strength and courage. Gold — both the colour and metal — will be extremely lucky for you this month.”
