April showers will bring May flowers. That’s the energy of this week, between April 8 – 14, 2024, for every Chinese zodiac sign. But before we get to weekly horoscopes, here are the general messages.
This week’s I Ching hexagram is Mountain over Lake (#41). It tells us that intelligent person always knows how to control themselves even when their emotions or hormones try to get the best of them. They don’t misuse the power they have been given. They use it to better the community, which includes them, so that they can lead everyone to a brighter and better future.
Intelligent folks also know when they need to take a break and when they need to learn more. They know when to delegate and when to ask for help. And they always know when to walk out of the room if they feel their emotions will best them.
This hexagram is a direct caution against letting anger get the best of you. So don’t let challenges change you into something unrecognizable. Instead, let them be stepping stones to your greater success! Now, let’s focus on the weekly horoscopes for each Chinese zodiac sign for April 8 – 14.
