Your Chinese Horoscope For July 20-26 (Ruled By The Wood Horse)
Nerves are on edge this week, due to the influence of the high-strung Wood Horse.
Having a creative outlet is the key to feeling balanced. Whenever anxiety strikes, it helps to paint, write, play music, bake, build furniture, or whatever else fills our need to take control. This is also a good time to make an important decision that has been put on the back burner. Putting this plan into motion will come as a huge relief.
Rat
Cost-cutting is essential to meeting a cherished goal. The more money you have in savings, the easier it will be to transition to an exciting new life. You’re not about to leave your nearest and dearest behind. You are, however, determined to abandon a home or job that doesn’t allow you to develop your impressive intellect. Head for a place or employer that allows you to study, innovate, and experiment. Starting a home-based business is a distinct possibility.
Ox
Your hard work is appreciated more than you realize. Take this opportunity to ask your employer or romantic partner for some time away from your duties. Visiting a place that’s famous for its natural beauty will make you feel years younger. It will also help you to connect to your higher self. Don’t be surprised when you decide to adopt a more easygoing pace of life. Toiling around the clock doesn’t give you the time to enjoy your favorite hobbies.
Tiger
This isn’t a good week to take risks. You’re much better served by relaxing and enjoying the fruits of your labor. This can be difficult for an ambitious creature like yourself, but try anyway. Give yourself a lavish gift that appeals to your love of for craftsmanship and beauty. Let others call you extravagant. You’re smart enough to know life is meant to be enjoyed. There’s nothing sinful about savoring material pleasures; in fact, it’s a waste to neglect them.
Rabbit
There’s plenty of work to be done this week. Don’t let others dump their responsibilities onto you. Friends, relatives, and colleagues may try to make you feel guilty for neglecting their needs. Refuse to take the bait. You’ve been blessed with tremendous creative ability. By applying your talent to an artistic project, you’ll be financially and emotionally rewarded. It’s time your associates learned to take care of their own responsibilities.
Dragon
An exciting adventure awaits. Don’t waste time worrying about all the things that could go wrong. Instead, imagine yourself enjoying a relaxing trip to your dream destination, where you leave on time, get an upgrade, and enjoy a luxurious experience upon arrival. It doesn’t matter where you are headed or why. By setting an intention, then savoring the experience of it, your dream will unfold as if by magic.
Snake
There’s lots of drama swirling around, but very little of it will directly affect you. Resist the urge to get drawn into a power struggle. It’s better to hold back, focus on work, and mind your own business. Although you have definite opinions as to who is right and who is wrong, it isn’t necessary to share these impressions with the public. Refrain from posting your thoughts on social media. After the dust settles, you may be handed a prominent position as thanks for staying calm during this storm.
Horse
It’s hard to know which direction to take when all the paths seem so unsavory. Rather than plunging ahead, tread water for the next few days. By the time the week is over, a much better option will become available. Stop insisting that it’s impossible to get everything you want. Wishes aren’t incompatible unless you believe they are. Adopt an open-minded attitude about the Universe…it will deliver boundless abundance when you allow it.
Sheep
Your inventive approach to work, art, and life commands the spotlight. In the past, people teased you for having a unique style. Now they admire you for it. Take this opportunity to get a job in a creative field. You’ll have so much fun getting paid to create eye-catching layouts, displays, flavor profiles, soundscapes, or anything else related to your work. If you’d rather be a paid consultant to clients who are wealthy and appreciative, go that route.
Monkey
Playing by the rules has never been your style, but it’s better than getting ejected from a job, group, or relationship. Never fear; there will soon be an opportunity to leave on your own terms. Until then, focus on doing the bare minimum while you conserve your resources. There’s no reason to exhaust yourself for a person or organization that doesn’t care about you. Keep your clever plans to yourself; the element of surprise will work in your favor.
Rooster
Finding a clever solution to a difficult problem will cause your star to rise. Don’t be afraid to challenge an institution that has been successful for a long time. Currently, this system does not work for the majority. Create a way for vulnerable people to remain secure during this period of uncertainty. Eventually, things can go back to normal. Right now, exceptional situations call for innovative measures.
Dog
Maintain your confidence in the face of severe criticism. Someone who is jealous of your imagination is trying to throw you off balance with petty remarks disguised as helpful feedback. Pleasantly thank this manipulator for their opinion, then keep doing what you feel is best. The powers-that-be are grateful for your innovative but practical approach. Before long, you’ll be given a promotion or raise, allowing you to escape the person who is consumed with envy over you.
Pig
After a period of struggle, life is starting to calm down for you. The sooner you downshift into a relaxed attitude, the easier it will be for abundance to flow into your life. This goes for money, health, and love. An anxious friend will feel triggered by your laid-back attitude. Be ready for them to recite upsetting news stories and entertain worst-case scenarios. By laughing off their fears, you’ll thrive while everyone else struggles. Never fear; you’ll be in the position to help anyone who needs assistance.
