This is going to be a reasonably tough week for all animal signs, but three will find out how fortunate they are when some things get out of control and life still takes a turn for the better.
What is luck if it's not rare or unexpected? Some luck theorists call good fortune a self-fulfilling prophecy. Luck is something you can try to create, but it doesn't always work out that way. Luck has to do with your karma and fate, and it is about chance and consequences, but it's also about seizing opportunities. Like a birth into a new existence, you have to go through some fire first to learn a life lesson. Then, when you think you can't possibly lose any more or handle any additional sorrows, that's when the universe shows you what you are here for. This is the overall experience of three animal signs in Chinese astrology at the start of the month. Let's see how this works all week.
1. Dog
Design: YourTango
Dog, this week, luck arrives for you in the form of good, quality friendships and people who understand the value of loyalty and trust. As a Dog animal sign, this week's Jia Xu 甲 戌 day helps you to solidify your relationships and validate your role in life. You are known for your supportive nature. You like to see other people win, and even when you are competitive, it's for the purpose of bringing others up, not pushing them down, so you can stay in the lead.
Luck arrives for you on September 2, because you are a person people trust. It's this mindset of yours that helps you to experience luck arriving this week. You've earned friendships with people who are your super fans. They listen to your advice because they know you have vetted the experience, so your endorsement matters. People understand that you can be trusted because you look out for others. Trust is the key to success in both work and life.
You will discover that the more authentic you are, the easier it is to find opportunities and get the help you need when you ask for it. Don't be shy about making a request, especially if your inner voice is telling you to do so. Sometimes that inner voice is the universe working through your subconscious mind. It's helping you see your role in the world and how to find resources and relationships that elevate your life.
2. Rat
Design: YourTango
Rat, never underestimate the power of intelligence when it comes to helping you attract luck. When good fortune enters your life, you will find that it is how you think that creates the space for something good to happen on September 4. Brilliance attracts people who need a problem solved. People appreciate it when they can delegate their most challenging moments to someone who cuts through the noise of life and knows what to do. You are a problem-solver, Rat, and when they made you, the universe broke the mold.
You will discover why being such a resourceful animal sign leads to success in life. In fact, when there is stability, instead of sitting back and relaxing as others might do, you use that as a time to work a little harder. Your hard work ethic gives you the gift of insight and perception, and you discover an untapped potential on Thursday, a Stable day.
Luck arrives for you this week because you have created a foundation for it to land. Don't let stability fool you into thinking there is nothing left to learn or that you have gained all you wanted in life. Stay true to your dreams, and keep your goals in sight.
3. Ox
Design: YourTango
Ox, your luck arrives this week because of the things you choose not to focus on and how well you manage your time. Patience is your strongest trait. While you may feel tempted to push back when it seems as though your plans are stalled, there will come a point on September 5 when you realize letting things happen organically is the better way to go.
It's incredible how one single decision can help move your life in a new (and improved) direction. Where you would have felt dread or worry, you let go and enter the realm of faith and confidence. You trust that the universe has your back, and see how the cycle of life typically comes back around full circle when you aren't expecting it.
Your honesty with yourself and others is attractive to the laws of luck, and so it arrives because you know where you stand. You will initiate things promptly, sensing when the time is right. You won't be working outside of the realm of fate, but instead in the flow of it.
