Destruction Days are when problems are likely to arise, but only to give you a chance to fix them. These animal signs experience a few bumps in the road on Wednesday, but everything turns out great thanks to the day's fire energy. Any challenges they experience only motivates them more.
1. Ox
Design: YourTango
Ox, you're ready to all but destroy anything that has hurt your productivity lately. You want a smooth, flowing day, but it's hard when little events pop up and distract you from your focus. Rather than complaining or telling yourself you'll worry about it later, you slow down and tackle the problem head-on.
Though it takes a little more time than usual, you regain small pieces of freedom throughout the day. By the time May 13 comes to an end, you feel less stressed out. Truly, it's hard to quantify how much of a relief doing this is going to be until it's all done, but the moment you start, you'll wonder why you waited so long.
2. Goat
Design: YourTango
You've been putting off a hard conversation, Ox, even though you know you need to have it. You've had hopes that the issue would resolve itself without you getting into a conflict with someone you care about. But on Wednesday, you see this as an opportunity to grow closer to your partner.
You know that talking things through is less about the problem itself and more about you tearing down the wall that's been rising higher each day. Be prepared for passionate communication due to today's Fire's energy. You can buffer whatever needs to be said with softer tones and a desire to be helpful, under the influence of the Pig.
3. Dragon
Design: YourTango
You're made for success and you are all about winning at life. You've tried to do your best with the opportunities you've been given. Since last year, your career and the things you do have evolved, and you're ready for the next level.
You are ready to change it all, and May 13 is a good day to look over your resume (and anything you know potential employers will look at during the job hunt) and remove what no longer represents who you are. If you're planning to start over again, remember that life doesn't typically drop opportunities into your lap. You have to go out and look for them.
4. Snake
Design: YourTango
You are quite a force of nature, Snake. You are usually strong for others, but sometimes forget to be strong for yourself. There's been something in the way of your happiness, and you're ready to admit that it's yourself. You have ignored your feelings for far too long.
If you've let the priorities of others override your own wants and desires, Wednesday's destructive energy encourages you to stop. There's a lot of pain and sorrow behind this decision, but the moment you release the pressure to perform, it's as though a weight is off your chest.
