Every Chinese Zodiac Sign's Weekly Horoscope For August 12-18, 2024
Messages of strength and love.
jessicahyde from Getty Images, DAPA Images | Canva Pro Trust yourself, and you can conquer the world. Trust everyone, but yourself, and you will find yourself in the darkest of places. That's the theme and message for this week for every Chinese zodiac sign between August 12-18, 2024. But before we look at the weekly horoscopes, here are everyone's general messages for the week.
The I Ching hexagram of the week is Wind over Lake (#61), changing to Fire over Fire (#30). It reminds us of the importance of kinship and having friends and loved ones around us.
Nothing can compare to the strength one can gain from such a treasure. But such a treasure won't last if everyone in the web of relationships doesn't choose to love and care right back. It's the balance between having your individuality and also rooting for your loved ones while fading into the background. Can you do both?
Only those who can are those who continue to rise and thrive, come hail or fire. They always have people to catch them when they fall and help them find solutions. They also know that they are cherished and respected for the strength they, too, bring to the table. Who can stop such people even if they tried?
Let's focus on the weekly horoscopes for each Chinese zodiac sign for August 12-18, 2024
