Your Chinese Horoscope For The Week Of February 23, 2025
Stability, resilience, and practicality are this week’s major themes, thanks to the influence of the steadfast Earth Dragon.
We’re all invited to stand firm in the face of challenges. By refusing to take “no” for an answer, we can realize elusive goals and reach new heights. Retail therapy can be a huge temptation this week; practicing financial restraint is strongly advised until March.
Rat
Beware of people taking advantage of your generous nature. If you get a bonus or raise, it may be wise to keep it to yourself. Otherwise, people will come out of the woodwork and demand that you share the wealth. If you’re in a relationship, you should take the lead with your partner. Take some work off their plate and make kind gestures without being asked.
Ox
A stubborn attitude will get you in trouble with the ‘powers that be’. If you’re able to meet your employer halfway, do it without complaint. On the other hand, if you’re asked to do something that goes against your moral code, issue a firm “no.” You may lose a short-term opportunity, but you’ll also escape a terrible trap. The last thing you need is to destroy your reputation for the sake of money.
Tiger
Entering a competition fills you with excitement. You have no intention of winning this contest through raw talent. Instead, you’ll practice, prepare, and rehearse until you emerge as the best in your category. There’s a good chance you’ll win a prize. Don’t be shy about drinking in the glory; you’ve earned every ounce of it.
Rabbit
The last thing is you want to get associated with a group of people who are shallow, greedy, and angry. The leader of such a gang will try to attend one of their parties. Be ready to turn down this invitation, as it will put you in a compromising position. If a romantic partner has been pressuring you to ignore your needs, it’s a sign you should move on to greener pastures.
Dragon
Everyone is clamoring for your approval. Use your star power to get things that are dear to your heart. This is one of the best weeks of the year to land a job, get a raise, win a role, sign a contract, or get rid of a third party. Get into the habit of asking for more than you are originally offered. Being your own advocate can be your new superpower.
Snake
You have the power to reform a troubled institution or relationship. Don’t hesitate to stand up for the underdog. Starting a collection for people who have experienced terrible loss will give you a strong sense of purpose. Although you hate to see others suffer, it gratifying to ease their pain. Stay true to your innate sense of justice.
Horse
Someone will consider you a threat on the career front. Although you’re not interested in comparing your talents with theirs, you could get forced into a competition. Instead of trying to outmaneuver your rival, focus on doing the best you can. Your honest, can-do attitude will win the day. Don’t be surprised if you get a raise, promotion, or exciting job offer.
Sheep
Love and romance are yours for the asking this week. People can’t resist your gentle, compassionate ways. Getting swept off your feet by an ardent suitor is a strong possibility. If you’re in a relationship, let your other half spoil you a bit. Don’t protest when your partner offers to run errands, fix you a meal, or give you a massage. If you prefer going solo, practice plenty of self-love this week.
Monkey
Be careful about overspending. There are so many gorgeous things you’d like to wear, own, and try. The best way to stay out of trouble is to focus on a project, and then give yourself a single reward a the end of the week. That way, you’ll emerge with something to show for your hard work without feeling deprived. If you’re single, have fun playing the field. If you have a partner, keep your eyes firmly trained on them!
Rooster
You’re not afraid to be the tough one in the group. If a difficult decision must be made, you’ll do it. Many will accuse you of being insensitive, but the truth is you will do what it takes to rescue a business or relationship from destruction. Anyone who questions your methods is in for a fight. Try not to be too hard on those who can’t live up to your expectations, though.
Dog
People will try to take advantage of your soft heart. Don’t agree to relieve someone’s workload, especially if you have tons of responsibility. When a neighbor, boss, or pastor asks for volunteers to help organize a get-together or set up for a meeting, remain silent. In the past, people have relied on you to do all the drudgery. Let somebody else handle these tasks for a change.
Pig
You’re not interested in being nice and neat; you’d rather live life on a grand scale! Take this opportunity to throw a party, dress up, go out, and cause a commotion. You’ll draw plenty of admiring stares—as well as a few snickers. Don’t worry. Instead of seeking approval, march to the beat of your own drummer. It’s such a relief to ignore the rules and obey your instincts.
