The flow of this week during the year of the Wood Snake and the week of the Metal Snake is Initiation to Close. You will start things on Monday, strategize on Tuesday and Wednesday, and work hard on Thursday. See things happen naturally and enjoy yourself on Saturday, then use Sunday to finish whatever is lingering.
The three zodiac signs selected for this week's luckiest list have the personality traits to navigate the two hardest days we will experience: May 6 and May 7. Ox zodiac signs are strong enough to withstand hardships and turn obstacles into successful opportunities. Tigers are stealthy and quick to remove barriers. They can see problems from a distance and hide from them, so there's no hindrance to their outcomes. Dogs are sweet and playful. Despite their inability to fight like a Tiger or hang in there with pure determination like an Ox, they can convert enemies into allies, which makes them quite fortunate. Here's what the luckiest Chinese zodiac signs Ox, Tiger and Dog can anticipate this week.
1. Ox

Ox, what makes you luckiest this week is your ability to acquire friends who easily become long-lasting and helpful to you. Regarding steadfast loyalty, few zodiac signs are finer than you are. So, when you begin something this week, plant your heels into the ground and keep plowing, no matter how complex or trying. With the energy of wood and metal, you need to plant seeds for success early on. Focus on financial matters.
Surround yourself with people you like and who like you. Look for opportunities to network, especially if you're trying to grow your business or social reach. You'll be luckier in social settings where you can see people face-to-face than online, so put down the phone and go out in real-life situations. The day of the week that you'll be 'luckiest' is May 8: Success Day.
Sometimes you have to put love and romance on the back burner; this is one of those weeks. Double down your efforts on career planning, strategizing, and organizing your financials. Are you due for a raise or an evaluation with your employer? Take this seriously.
Plan out your conversations. Have your points and highlights ready. It's much easier to negotiate a salary increase when you can show what value you bring and how you're improving areas of work for others.
2. Tiger

Tiger, one incredible thing about you is your ability to possess so much energy in your body that when you have to work hard, it looks effortless to others. This week, you're luckiest due to the profit you can gain from anything you set your mind to do. Focus on your priorities. Put things in order and know what you need for projects, to get things done around your home.
Ask many questions before your meetings, if you have anything planned. Try to be a few steps ahead before going anywhere, so you are well-prepared.
This week, you must be mindful of your time and very strategic with your schedule. Aim to use the time of day that you're most mentally sharp. Avoid procrastination by looking at your phone — schedule chats with friends so that you know what to expect and minimize distractions. There's energy growing before May 9, your day to receive blessings from your hard work, and that's due to the upcoming Full Flower Moon.
Since you'll have to pack a lot of activity in four days due to Tuesday and Wednesday's difficult points, and then Saturday for rest. Getting what you need done quickly won't be a problem for you. You are built for speed and endurance when you need to sprint or run. However, avoid being impulsive or assuming the worst when working with others. In the name of haste, you can become a little impatient and lash out without intending to.
3. Dog
Design: YourTango
Lucky is the person who has good friends, and you, Dog, are among the luckiest this week. You gain more friends, and your energy peaks, bringing you substantial good luck by doing very little.
Your luckiest day is May 10, which is an Open Day. Being receptive to others brings you luck and grows your influence exponentially. You may be socializing with someone special, learning about what you need to do, and finding help through their friendship and social circle. You'll want to protect your territory and keep things from being used unnecessarily.
For example, be sure to update your passwords and hide any material possessions from hackers online since the element of fire is strongest on Tuesday and Wednesday, when you are most vulnerable. However, the remaining part of the week allows you to enjoy life's pleasures.
Release your cares, knowing that when you put good energy into the world, it will return to you abundantly.
