Chinese Horoscopes for Week Commencing: Monday 22 July 2024

   Rat Monday 22 July 2024  1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Since last year’s leap month, the Full Moons have been relatively easy, in that they haven’t fallen during their opposing month. However, after two Ox Full Moons in just four weeks, this is no longer the case and the weekend’s Full Moon may have brought some more extreme wakeup calls or a sense of being under pressure. Halfway through the month of the Goat and its focus on change and transformation, this may have seen you come up against some roadblocks or some self questioning. The Ox and Goat are opposing signs so they were pushing against each other. However, we are moving into the new week under an intellectual Tiger Moon and there is a chance to turn those wakeup calls into a game plan.
 
   Ox Monday 22 July 2024  1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
You have not only reached the halfway point of the month of the Goat, but Sunday’s Full Moon has just brought you to the halfway point of this current personal 12 month lunar cycle. The Goat and Ox are opposing signs and by the time you get to the month of the Goat, you are halfway between the last month of the Ox and the next. As the weekend’s Full Moon was an Ox Moon and as the Ox and Goat are opposing signs, this may have seen them clash and this may have created some pressure or wakeup calls, but with it a chance for a reset. On the other side of a hump or what might have felt like an uphill climb last week, is now a more gentle stroll down the other side.
 
   Tiger Monday 22 July 2024  1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
As you move into the second half of the busy, industrious and work focused month of the Goat, life is likely to be just as busy but chances are you are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel or the bottom of your ‘to do’ list will be coming into view. The weekend’s Full Moon not only brought you to the halfway point of the month of the Goat, but this is when this current lunar cycle peaked. With the Moon now in its waning phase, it is no longer about how many tasks or jobs you can take on and more about productivity. This week becomes more about prioritising and realising that if you can’t get everything done, it then comes down to prioritising.
 
   Rabbit Monday 22 July 2024  1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
For the Rabbit, the only downside to the fun, playful, romantic and creative month of the Goat is that it only runs for four weeks and must eventually end. The weekend’s Full Moon has already brought us to the halfway point, but when the month of the Goat ends a New Moon will usher in the busy, industrious and work focused month of the Monkey. As well as embracing the Goat’s playful and creative influence while you can, this is a chance to futureproof your life in terms of ensuring that before you reach the busier month of any lunar year, you have the right balance between work and play.
 
   Dragon Monday 22 July 2024  1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
On the other side of Sunday’s Full Moon and as the Moon moves into is waning phase, it comes less about branching out and more about consolidating or completing things. With the month of the Goat ending at the end of next week, you have two weeks to focus on home, family and on those rituals and routines that can help you feel grounded and can bring a sense of belonging. With the more fun, playful, romantic and creative month of the Monkey starting on Sunday week, this is also a chance to take care of the housekeeping or to set things up so that there is more free time to have some fun.
 
   Snake Monday 22 July 2024  1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
As you move into the second half of the month of the Goat, there is a growing need to make the most of its unique influence. On the heels of the weekend’s adventurous Ox Moon, this has opened your mind to possibilities while bringing a boost in confidence. While for the Snake the Goat is the Swizz army knife of any lunar cycle, with a tool for every occasion and especially when it comes to mental focus, being able to think on your feet and communication, the weekend’s Ox Moon was a chance to take a break from overthinking things. If this gave you a chance to focus on your bucket list, then the focus this week shifts to turning this into a game plan. It is time to get back into game mode and to take control.
 
   Horse Monday 22 July 2024  1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014
It was over the weekend that a Full Moon may have caused a rethink and especially when it comes to your values and priorities. At the halfway point in the lucrative month of the Goat, a month that for the Horse is all about boosting your confidence and a belief in what you deserve, which in turn makes it easier to attract what you deserve across all the currencies in your life, this might have brought some reality checks. This was an Ox Moon and as the Ox and Goat are opposing signs they worked to repell each other. This has made it easier to appreciate where your real values lie and whether the things you are seeking are worth the price.
 
   Goat Monday 22 July 2024  1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015
The weekend’s Full Moon brought you to the halfway point of the month of the Goat and with it a chance to check in and even for a reset. The Goat and the Ox are opposing signs and as a Full Moon, this has made it obvious where anything is out of balance or just the wakeup calls that have made your own truth more apparent. You need those wakeup calls to ensure that as you move into your new personal 12 month lunar cycle you are on the right track. Where the Ox Moon may have been stressful, an adventurous Rabbit Moon from Wednesday to Friday will boost your confidence and may even evoke a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure.
 
   Monkey Monday 22 July 2024  1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016
At the halfway point of the nostalgic and reflective month of the Goat, you have reached a point where you are now in the just/still zone. With the month of the Monkey now less than two weeks away and beginning at the end of next week, new beginnings are just around the corner and the start of a new personal 12 month lunar cycle is drawing closer by the day. Yet at the same time, as not only the month of the Goat but this current personal 12 month lunar cycle still has nearly two weeks to run, with time to close old doors and process the journey this has taken you on. As the week progresses the lines between the past, present and future are going to blur, as you start looking ahead while still looking back.
 
   Rooster Monday 22 July 2024  1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017
At the same time that you have moved into the second half of the social and serendipitous month of the Goat, the Moon has moved into its waning phase. On the one hand, this is making things less urgent in that the push to make as many contacts as possible recedes and the focus shifts more to quality time. On the other hand, knowing that when the nostalgic and reflective month of the Monkey begins at the end of next week you are going to be less inclined to socialise, you will be drawn to make these final two weeks count. The Goat will keep the focus on your social life, friendship, teamwork and networking but you are likely to find that you are becoming more selective.
 
   Dog Monday 22 July 2024  1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018
As you move into the second half of the competitive and professionally charged month of the Goat, there is likely to be a new sense of determination but also a better chance to narrow down your personal and professional goals and ambitions. While the month of the Goat is the most important of any professional year, you won’t just find its competitive influence and its focus on goal setting on the work front. However, a busy, industrious and work focused Rabbit Moon from Wednesday to Friday is going to power up the working week. Until then, a playful and creative Tiger Moon will be reminding you that life can’t be all work and no play.
 
   Pig Monday 22 July 2024  1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019
For the Pig, the only downside to the adventurous month of the Goat is that it only runs for four weeks and after the weekend’s Full Moon you have now moved into the final two weeks. For the Pig, what makes the month of the Goat such a special month is not just its focus on adventure, travel, learning and discovery. The Pig and Goat are the best of friends, so this is a good month all round. This year this is especially important, for in the busy, industrious and work focused Year of the Dragon and with the competitive and professionally charged month of the Monkey starting at the end of next week, the Goat can guard against life becoming all work and no play. A playful and creative Rabbit Moon from Wednesday to Friday will also help with that.
