6 Chinese Zodiac Signs Attract Luck & Good Fortune On August 17, 2025
Design: YourTango | Photo: Design Studio's, Canva Pro Six Chinese zodiac signs are attracting luck and good fortune on August 17, 2025. This Sunday is an Open Day under the Earth Horse day pillar, during a Wood Monkey month in the Wood Snake year.
Open Days in the Chinese calendar are meant for beginnings, introductions, and fresh experiences that shift your path in a good way. With the grounded-yet-energetic Earth Horse leading the day, there’s momentum without chaos, perfect for a weekend that quietly sets you up for bigger wins ahead. For these animal signs, good fortune shows up in ways you can see and feel, making it easier to say yes to the right moments.
1. Horse

Sunday’s pillar sits in your own animal sign, making your natural strengths more visible to others. Expect to draw attention without chasing it. An old friend might reach out or someone could approach you with an idea or invite you wouldn’t have thought to ask for.
Luck comes from being out in the world long enough to cross paths with it. That might mean going to a place you don’t usually visit or taking the longer route home. If you’re considering a personal upgrade (anything from changing your look to trying a new activity), your choices on August 17 have a way of sparking fresh momentum for the weeks ahead.
2. Snake
Design: YourTango
You’re in your own year, Snake, which means your influence is stronger, but today’s Earth Horse energy pushes you to act rather than wait. Someone may bring you news, a suggestion, or a decision that speeds up a timeline you thought would take longer.
Lean into opportunities that help you expand your connections. If there’s a social or family event you weren’t sure about attending, go! These casual settings can bring the kind of conversation or introduction that leads to a fortunate turn later this month.
3. Tiger

Open Day energy on August 17 supports your ability to start something meaningful. Whether it’s signing up for an event, making a purchase you’ve been thinking about, or putting in an application, what you begin now can have a ripple effect beyond Sunday.
Your gut instincts are sharp, but you’ll get the most from slowing down just enough to catch details others miss. This extra attention could be what positions you to benefit from a hidden advantage like being first in line for something that sells out or hearing about a resource before it becomes widely known.
4. Dog

Your loyalty and reliability make you the person others trust with good information, and Sunday someone may share a tip, offer, or piece of news they don’t share with everyone. The Earth Horse’s momentum helps you act on it quickly.
If an opportunity feels right but slightly out of your comfort zone, lean in. This is the kind of day where saying yes can lead to long-term benefits, especially in areas of life that have felt slow or stuck.
5. Pig

Luck finds you on August 17 through detours. A last-minute plan change or spontaneous outing could put you in the exact right place at the exact right time. You don’t need to over plan, just stay open enough to follow where the day takes you.
Your social energy is super high on Sunday and people are drawn to your warmth. Accept invitations, even small ones like a coffee or short visit, because they can unexpectedly connect you to someone or something that benefits you in the near future.
6. Monkey
Design: YourTango
It’s your month, Monkey, which means your adaptability is heightened. During Sunday’s Open Day that flexibility pays off in a small adjustment in your plans lining up a lucky break you wouldn’t have had otherwise.
You might overhear a conversation that sparks an idea, meet someone with valuable insight, or discover a solution that saves you time and energy. The key is to follow curiosity without overthinking. The less you try to force things on August 17, the faster the good stuff lands.
