Bountiful luck may have been had for specific animal signs in the Chinese zodiac this year.

According to Chinese astrology, certain zodiac signs are particularly favoured this year due to their harmonious connection with the Dragon’s energy – specifically the Goat, Rabbit, Monkey, and Horse.

The Wood element of the Dragon brings improvement and abundance to these signs, enhancing their chances of success in various aspects of life.

But it doesn’t mean other animal signs are exempt from experiencing good luck. An astrologer has named the luckiest dates in October for each of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac.

Sharing her insights with YourTango, Tarot reader and astrologer, Valeria Black said: “Luck will blaze into one’s life like a shooting star, but it’s up to the individual to make the most of that luck.”

Tiger

People born in the Year of the Tiger (1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022) will feel their luckiest day on October 24. This month, it’s important to avoid getting distracted by shiny opportunities that don’t align with your goals. According to the astrologer, bring mindful and resisting temptation will ultimately help you hit the jackpot.

Rat

Those born in the Year of the Rat (1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, and 2020) should mark October 21 in their calendar as their ‘luckiest day’. Valeria explained: “Your luck this month flows from your creativity….as long as you trust that creative spark within, you will thrive and call opportunities to you like never before.”

Those born in the year of the Ox (1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021) should focus on choosing a steady and stable path this month.

Dragon

Unfortunately for those aligned with the Dragon (1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024), luck may not feel all that good this month.

Snake

According to the astrologer, those born in the year of the Snake (1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013) will likely experience their luckiest day on October 31, in love and relationships. She said: “Snake, your luck this month will be fabulous! Some of you may even say your wishes out loud and have them come true very quickly, so be mindful.”

Monkey

October 12 marked the luckiest day for people born in the year of the Monkey (1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016), but the period of good fortune continues. Valeria warned that the decisions you make and the actions you take at this time will have a direct impact on your luck in the coming months, especially in November.

Rooster

Roosters (born in 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017) may have experienced Rooster “extra strong” luck on October 12 that continues to now. The Tarot reader said that this period of luck is a good time to set healthy (and strong) boundaries and reap the rewards of a “big boost of inspiration!”.

Dog

The Tarot reader said that those born in the year of the Dog (1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018) will find their luck closely tied to responsibility on October 19. Valeria urged: “Pay extra attention to your plans and goals in these arenas and trust your heart about the right pace and actions. Your luck will pave the path, either behind the scenes or in subtle ways directly, so you can live the best life and feel fulfilled.”

Pig
