Strong are those who don’t allow stereotypes of strength to influence their life. That’s the message and theme for the week between August 19 – 25, 2024. But before we look at the weekly horoscopes for every Chinese zodiac sign, here are the general messages for everyone.
The I Ching hexagram for this week is Fire over Lake (#38), changing to Lake over Mountain (#31). It tells us that impasses in life are normal. A river will eventually lose its strength once it has traveled far enough from the mountains where it originated.
It will meander and flow sedately where once it raged and cleaved the face of the earth. So don’t bash your head over a dead end where all energy seems to go to die. Look for new pathways instead, and be creative. You don’t always need to change the old. You can create something new.
Remember: one must never be content with surface-level appearances in the life quest. It can sound cliched to say “actions speak louder”, but it’s true nevertheless. Look beneath the surface, and you will discover astonishing details.
Each Chinese zodiac sign’s weekly horoscope for August 19-25, 2024.
