Greatness is not a matter of where you were born or who you were born to. The energy between April 29 – May 5, 2024, urges us to discover what true greatness is all about and to not sabotage ourselves in our life’s journey. Before we get to the weekly horoscopes for each Chinese zodiac sign, let’s look at the message of the week for everyone.
The I Ching hexagram of this week is Earth over Water (#7), changing to Earth over Lake (#19). It reminds us that we should be in the abundant forces of the universe and our abilities. Losing the first will color everything in a negative light and block you from growth, opportunities, and even new friendships. Losing the latter will prevent you from doing anything at all!
The middle ground between the two is what it’s called for. Meditation and other grounding practices, including journaling your deep thoughts, can help you achieve this. Now, let’s focus on the weekly horoscopes for each Chinese zodiac sign.
