Who’s in the driving seat of your life? That’s the question and theme of this week, between May 20 – 26, 2024, for all Chinese zodiac signs. But before we look at the weekly horoscopes, here are the general messages of the week for everyone.
The I Ching hexagram of the week is Earth over Mountain (#15), changing to Fire over Water (#64). It reminds us that life is a never-ending journey from birth until we move to the beyond. So, the goals we have along that path can be likened to milestones instead of true goals. When you consider this, the need to be anxious flows away. What remains is the need to adapt, change, grow, and grow some more.
If you feel called to, start a bullet journal this week and build a habit of recording the good and the not-so-good you encounter. It will help you form deeper insights and gain truer perspectives with time. You can also buy a 5-year journal to see the growth unfold before your eyes through the questions for each day. Now, let’s focus on the weekly horoscopes for each Chinese zodiac sign for May 20 – 26.
