Chinese Horoscopes for Week Commencing: Monday 20 July 2026
Rat    Rat Monday 20 July 2026  1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
As you move into the first full week of the month of the Goat and its focus on change and transformation, you will be starting to get a feel for its influence and for where it is drawing your attention. While the month of the Goat only began on last Tuesday’s New Moon, following on from the more challenging month of the Horse and its wakeup calls, you are ready for a reset. This is when you can turn any wakeup calls or challenges of the last month into the opportunity for a reset that it always was. The Goat will be both encouraging you and showing where you can start to make small or big changes or tweaks to ensure your life is running more authentically.
 
Ox    Ox Monday 20 July 2026  1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
While for the Ox, the month of the Goat is not the easiest of months, it is more that your energies aren’t a natural fit and at the halfway point in your current personal 12 month lunar cycle, by being so different in nature, this is going to make your own needs and priorities more transparent. This takes you out of autopilot and forces you to pay attention to where you may have drifted off course or just what is or isn’t important. It is because the Goat and Ox are opposites, at the halfway point in your current personal 12 month lunar cycle, any wakeup calls come with an opportunity for a reset.
 
Tiger    Tiger Monday 20 July 2026  1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
As you move into the first full week of the busy, industrious and work focused month of the Goat and with the Moon now in its full waxing or growth phase, helping to keep things balanced is the adventurous and spontaneous Dog Moon on Monday and Tuesday. While the playful and creative month of the Horse ended on last Tuesday’s New Moon, the Year of the Horse continues, with the Dog Moon at the start of the week a reminder that life can’t be all work and no play. This will give you time to put some guardrails in place before a competitive and professionally charged Pig Moon teams up with the Goat from Wednesday to Friday.
 
Rabbit    Rabbit Monday 20 July 2026  1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
As you move into the first full week of the playful and creative month of the Goat, this is the month that you have been waiting for all year and from the start is something that needs to be savoured. Because the month of the Goat only began on last Tuesday’s New Moon, it is still early days, while an adventurous and spontaneous Pig Moon from Wednesday to Friday will make this even easier to embrace. As well as powering up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence, the Pig and the Goat are not only part of the same triad of affinity and therefore the best of friends, but the third part of that triad is the Rabbit. This is an energy in sync with your own.
 
Dragon    Dragon Monday 20 July 2026  1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
As you settle into the first full week of the month of the Goat, you should be getting a feel for its influence and especially during the Pig Moon from Wednesday to Friday. As part of the same triad of affinity and as the best of friends, the Pig and Goat work well together and can bring out the best in each other. Where the Goat is putting the focus on home, family and on those rituals and routines that can help you feel grounded and can bring a sense of belonging, the Pig’s focus is on change and transformation. This will make it easier to make any tweaks or changes in order to ensure that things are running as smoothly as possible.
 
Snake    Snake Monday 20 July 2026  1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Barely a week on from last Tuesday’s New Moon and the launch of the month of the Goat, you will be starting to get a feel for its influence and more importantly, for its many uses. For the Snake, the Goat is the Swiss army knife of any lunar cycle, with a tool for every occasion, making you mentally sharper, better able to think on your feet and can enhance all aspects of communication. This is something that you can take with you into every corner of your life. This includes being able to work smarter during a Dog Moon on Monday and Tuesday and better able to keep the communication lines open during a Pig Moon that, from Wednesday to Friday, will put the focus on your relationships.
 
Horse    Horse Monday 20 July 2026  1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
While the lucrative month of the Goat only began on last Tuesday’s New Moon, by the time you move into the new week you will be starting to get a feel for its influence. Because the Goat and the Pig are part of the same triad of affinity, a busy, industrious and work focused Pig Moon from Wednesday to Friday could have lucrative implications. However, by then you will be starting to sense that it is not just about the money. Knowing that you can’t attract what you don’t believe you deserve, the Goat works by building your confidence and a belief in yourself, which in turn helps you attract more across all the currencies in your life.
 
Goat    Goat Monday 20 July 2026  1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015
As you settle into the first full week of the month of the Goat and of your new personal 12 month lunar cycle, you should be getting a feel for its influence. Especially when it comes to not just a chance to start looking to the future, but a gradual realignment with your personal truth. When the month of the Goat comes around each year, there is a chance to revisit your native energy and with it, a chance for a reset, for new beginnings and to set new intentions and resolutions for the coming year. However, it begins with first coming back to your personal truth and as year after year your needs and priorities evolve, set a course that is right for where you are in your life now.
 
Monkey    Monkey Monday 20 July 2026  1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016
As you settle into the first full week of the nostalgic and reflective month of the Goat, there is likely to be a strong sense of nostalgia and a lot of focus on the past, but not in the all consuming way that it might have been in other years. For while the social and serendipitous month of the Horse ended on last Tuesday’s New Moon, the Year of the Horse continues and this is going to keep you socially engaged and connected. This will be especially so during a Dog Moon on Monday and Tuesday and its focus on communication. Yet the need for time out to hear yourself think and to reflect has increased, with the final weeks of your current personal 12 month lunar cycle a time for closing old doors.
 
Rooster    Rooster Monday 20 July 2026  1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017
As you move into the first full week of the social and serendipitous month of the Goat, you will be getting a feel for its influence and of where this is drawing your attention. While the Goat likes to keep you socially engaged and connected, its serendipitous influence often means that some of the most important encounters are likely to happen when and where you least expect. This makes it important to be spontaneous, for you never know when you are going to find yourself in the right place at the right time, bumping into the right person or in the right place to hear the right piece of information at the right time. This is what makes this such an exciting month.
 
Dog    Dog Monday 20 July 2026  1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018
Beginning the week under a Dog Moon is going to give you an intuitive edge from the start, making it easier to trust your gut and with a more direct line to your inner voice, navigate your way through the early part of the week. While the Dog Moon will have run its course by Wednesday, moving into the first full week of the competitive and professionally charged month of the Goat will give you an edge from the start. Also an advantage will be a lucrative Pig Moon from Wednesday to Friday. Less because of the lucrative implications and more because, as the Goat and Pig are part of the same triad of affinity and are the best of friends, they will be helping each other out.
 
Pig    Pig Monday 20 July 2026  1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019
As you move into the first full week of the adventurous and spontaneous month of the Goat, this is the month that you have been waiting for and not just because this will put the focus on the adventurous side of life’s fence. Because the Pig and the Goat are part of the same triad of affinity, things are going to flow more smoothly, it will be easier to focus on the big picture and harder to sweat the small stuff. Life is not only more exciting under the Goat’s influence, but there will be a sense that rather than swimming against the tide, you can ease back and flow with the tide. Not all months have a natural fit, but this one does.
