In Chinese culture, the concept of luck is deeply intertwined with the zodiac and plays a significant role in daily life.
Luck is a concept that encompasses fortune, prosperity, success, and general well-being, and something some of the 12 zodiac animals will experience more than others.
Despite being the Year of the Wood Dragon, this week isn’t a standout time for those born in the years 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 and 2012.
According to Your Tango astrologer Valeria Black, the Rat is among the week’s luckiest Chinese zodiac signs and another animal will be “mind blown” by a turn of events between now and August 4,2024.
She revealed the five Chinese zodiac signs will have a particularly fortunate time during this period. Are you in to have “the greatest luck of them all”?
Luckiest Chinese zodiac signs this week
1. The Rat
Destined for “blind luck” this week, the Rat will find that this comes their way when they “choose to be brave”, said Valeria. She explained that such luck will lead this zodiac on a road to healing past trauma and becoming unburdened within.
The Rose Quartz is deemed a lucky token, and may even improve luck for the Rat this week, in addition to the colour red. Years of the Rat include 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032.
2. The Snake
Valeria urged those born in the years of the snake (1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025, 2037) to “have your mind blown and that of those around you”. A dramatic occurrence will rock the social circle of this zodiac sign this week, leading to some luck.
The astrologer said: “If you feel called to, wear more yellow outfits this week to bring more luck to you. But don’t become a traffic cone! That may have the opposite effect. Fresh yellow flowers in a vase will also have a similar effect on you by improving the flow of positivity in your space.”
3. The Horse
Those born in the year of the Horse (1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, and 2026) should lean into their energy this week to discover their luck. According to Valeria, this may involve meeting a soul mate or best friend, and others may find themselves manifesting what they desire.
She suggested wearing more green this week to “help you be more lucky”, noting that emerald, jade and other green crystals boast a similar effect on the Horse.
5. The Rabbit
Set to experience plain good luck this week, those born in the year of the Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, and 2023), may feel like they’re on cloud nine “and then some”, claimed Valeria. She said: “Let your inner child come out and play, the easier you will find it to draw this luck to you. The colour white will be lucky for you this week, and so will the crystal jade, especially white jade.”
5. The Pig
People who associate with the year of the Pig (1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, and 2031) may unlock luck this week by embracing their uniqueness.
Said to be “firmly rooted in a much-loved fairytale or childhood folklore” by Valeria, this fortune comes by looking for the clues in your favourite storylines.
She explained: “Some people are drawn to the story of Snow White, others to the story of the Monkey King, and so on. Which one were you drawn to the most?
“The colour green will be lucky for you this week, as will flowers that are green or yellow. And that includes Clover!”
