Design: YourTango, Photo: mimagephotography via Canva The weekly Chinese horoscope is here for each animal sign from now through August 16, 2026. The week begins with Success and ends with a Full Day. The month is in Fire Monkey energy and the Year is in Fire Horse.
This week we have a smooth energy flow from the start. On Monday, you get the resources you need early to complete tasks and feel confident with all you need to do. By Wednesday, an influx of positive opportunities arrives, giving you a chance to start something new.
You'll feel hopeful mid-week, but Thursday invites you to pause and think. Friday through the weekend is a good time to review and make important changes. Let's find out what else is in store for your animal sign all week long.
Rat
Design: YourTango
There are two areas of your life that open up for you in a big way: career and professional opportunities. You might want to add pops of blue into your clothing since it's the color of trust, and when you are networking or meeting new people, they sense that from you.
You're doing a lot of nurturing and giving advice, so 6, the number of nurture in numerology, is naturally a lucky number for you. Pay attention when you see it in sequence; that means something is about to happen.
Your best day arrives on Monday, but this is just the starting point. You want to clear away negative energy by Monday night or on Tuesday. Doing so helps you to invite positive energy. When you have a chance, share your thoughts with a friend, especially if that person is a Dragon.
Something happens through a reference made by a friend or family member. Things happen much faster around Friday. You have lots of support and see how working with others is empowering for you.
Ox
Design: YourTango
The week of August 10 is about clearing away clutter. It sounds like such an unimportant thing to do, but it's actually very significant. You want to spend time going through things like old receipts, mail, and even expired credit cards.
When you get rid of these items, you discover that they were actually holding you back emotionally. You pay special attention to any emotionally driven habits you have, and yes, that includes retail therapy even if it feels good in the moment.
Focus on reclaiming your energy by wearing white, the color that symbolizes purity and a fresh start. You're wiping the slate clean. You want to focus on what you have and use it to its maximum advantage.
Tiger
Design: YourTango
Tiger, this week you're much more visible than it seemed at the start of the month. This visibility peaks around Wednesday, August 12. It's an open horse Earth Day, so it's a chance for you to express yourself. Your goal will be to feel free and more transparent with others.
Even though visibility and transparency can leave you feeling vulnerable, see it as an opportunity to exert personal influence on your life and situations you want to change. To help you engage on a fresh start, consider wearing some green. You can put it in your house as well to remind you that this is a week for change and growth. Creativity is in the number 3, and that is your lucky number for the week. Try to do things in threes when possible.
Note that an opportunity may come to you this week, possibly around Wednesday and not in the usual frame that you would recognize. It could come to you through an unexpected question or compliment. Be willing to take initiative and speak up for yourself.
Rabbit
Design: YourTango
This is not a week for the faint of heart; even though Monday can give you the impression that things are working easily, you have work to do. You want to exercise discernment because a relationship may need some protection or a creative idea may require some work. The situation where you felt a certain way will be confirmed by a potential ally in your life. Likely a Dog. Avoid oversharing, especially when situations feel uncomfortable.
A boundary violation or invasion of your privacy may lead you to think that you need to tell more than you should. Your best day this week is Thursday; you can use that time to get tidy around your personal space. Add something green, like a bamboo plant or wear an article of clothing that reminds you of growth.
Dragon
Design: YourTango
Something really good is happening for you this week, and it all starts on Monday's Receive Day, with the energy of your sign. You want to pay special attention to situations as they unfold, specifically if a Monkey is involved. They may ask you a question that gives you insight into yourself. Don't be shy about answering it.
This week is about finishing something significant and taking ownership of your contributions. You want to ask for what you feel you are worth, without being overly assertive. That's why the lucky number for you is six, because you nurture relationships rather than demanding reciprocity. Where goal and anticipation of an achievement.
Snake
Design: YourTango
The week starts off on a high note with a lucky day arriving on August 11; the energy is in your sign, and it is a Receive Day. You may receive a gift from a friend or be invited to go somewhere special. There will be lots of incoming opportunities to choose from.
One color to match your positive energy is red. It's not only the color of power, but it is also the color of passion and money. Your lucky number matches the energy you receive all week long: 9. A highly auspicious number for success.
To ensure that there is nothing blocking the good that's coming your way, clear your entryway. Also, don't reject something because it wasn't what you expected; it could be leading you to a new path.
Horse
Design: YourTango
Horse, you have a curious nature, and it works to your advantage this week. Something happens to capture your attention. Your job is to see whether or not it's a project or situation you wanna explore. You may have conversations come up regarding travel.
There are a few creative adventures that capture your attention. A collaboration with someone close to you could lead you to a new environment. That is interesting but unfamiliar. You learned quite a bit from this experience.
On Wednesday, you have an Open Day in your animal sign. This makes it a great time to finish projects and be very productive. Your lucky number is 7, which is a reminder to read something new. A good color to wear is red, since you will be doing many new adventures.
Goat
Design: YourTango
Your main priority this week is to finish something you've already started by or around Thursday. Thursday is a Closed Day in your animal sign, so completing is a primary theme. What you receive on Monday and Tuesday gives you the motivation and resources for this endeavor. You expect there to be some emotional elements to this process. All journeys that come to an end are bittersweet to a degree.
Treat yourself with dignity and respect during this process. A beautiful color to wear is purple to remind you to respect yourself and to avoid going back to situations (or people) you've outgrown. You're learning to let go, and that helps you to make room for something fresh in the future!
Monkey
Design: YourTango
Monkey, your thoughtful and curious nature helps you out in a lot of ways all week. You're learning to ask really solid questions and look for answers even when they aren't easy for you to find. You get organized a lot more than you usually would under a busy week's energy.
On Friday, you have an Establish Day in your sign, so how well you put things together determines how quickly you're working all weekend. A great number for you all week is a 9, not only because it symbolizes prosperity and completion, but also because it symbolizes success. Wearing white reminds you to be slightly minimalistic, because less clutter will help you to have a clearer mind.
Rooster
Design: YourTango
You navigate a hard truth this week: just because you made a commitment doesn't mean you have to keep it. Since there is a Remove Day in your sign, and in the element of Metal, you detach emotionally from a situation. You resign from a problem that honestly isn't yours to solve, and it's best to let someone else handle their own situation.
You declutter your life and realize by the weekend that you were overburdened beyond what you could carry. You'll feel an incredible sense of relief, which is partly why your lucky number is 2, for balance. Your best color to wear this week is pink, to remind you to pursue joy.
Dog
Design: YourTango
This can be a very emotional week for you, and kind of cathartic if you allow it to be. The last day of the week is in Water, and your sign, and it's a very busy Full Day. For you, it's a week filled with opportunity to spend time with friends, and to be there for others.
You want to invite warm, welcoming energy all around. Start off with a bouquet of fresh flowers, even if you pick them from your own yard. Placing something green or yellow by the front door invites positive energy flow and reminds you that you are doing things in service of others. This isn't a week about hitting big goals, necessarily, but having fun. Enjoy yourself.
Pig
Design: YourTango
Pig, the end of the week is pretty sweet, and Sunday gives you something to look forward to. You have projects you want to finish, and can use that day to get ahead. The start of the week is even better because it allows you to set a foundation to work productively and effectively.
On Monday, you experience a first major win, either in a finished project or in getting organized. One thing to remember is that on Saturday, August 15, is a Remove Day, and that helps you to fix things and get certain things in order. Your lucky number this week is an 8, for power, and you navigate difficulty so well that you really do feel like you're in charge of your life and the circumstances surrounding it.
