Thursday is a Metal Horse day (Geng Wu) during a Wood Snake year and a Metal Dragon month, landing on a Full Day in the Chinese calendar. Full Days bring peak energy, the kind of day when things culminate, overflow, and finally become undeniable. But there’s a twist. This Full Day is powered by double Metal and intense Fire, which means truth comes fast, energy surges forward, and what you really want either shows up or shows you where to stop settling.
This isn’t a play it safe day. It’s a trust your inner knowing and make a move day. The Horse energy shakes off anything stagnant and paired with the Metal Dragon month and Wood Snake year, May 1 brings a sense of bold release. Some of you will find out something that changes your plans (in a good way). Others will feel a sudden lift like the thing that wasn’t happening for months just starts to move. These six animal signs are the ones most likely to experience real luck and abundance, and it shows up exactly where they need it most.
1. Horse

This is your day, Horse. Your animal sign rules the energy, and with Metal as the Day Stem, everything is sharper, faster, and clearer. If you’ve been second-guessing a financial decision or stuck waiting for someone else to decide, that energy breaks today. Things become obvious. Someone shows their true colors. A payment, offer, or answer finally lands.
There’s a very real feeling around you of this is what I was waiting for but didn’t know how to ask for. You could see a breakthrough with a side hustle, a financial boost from someone in your network, or a major moment of clarity around a romantic or professional partnership. Don’t over-edit your reactions today. Follow your excitement. What’s meant for you will show up fast and clean, and you won’t need to chase it.
2. Dragon

The Metal Dragon month and this Full Day combination are setting you up for a well-timed power move. You may not have even planned to take action today and then boom, something opens. A door that was locked before is suddenly unblocked.
There’s a very specific moment today where you’ll realize something isn’t delayed anymore, it’s ready. It could be as big as a contract or as subtle as someone changing their tone toward you in a way that shifts everything. Your luck is tied to timing, and you’ll feel it physically when it hits. You’re being aligned with the next level of your life. If it feels like something clicks into place without effort. That’s not random. That’s your abundance arriving on schedule.
3. Goat

Your luck today comes from something you weren’t even trying to get. This isn’t effort-based energy. It’s grace-based. Something you released recently — a pattern, a relationship, an expectation — just freed up your field. And the universe noticed.
Today, you might get a gift, an unexpected text, or news that something’s being worked out behind the scenes in your favor. There’s also a big love energy around you like someone finally meeting you halfway, or a new connection starting when you were about to give up on dating entirely. It might even feel strange how easy it all is. Let it. Don’t guilt yourself into thinking you didn’t earn it. This is the part where you receive, not prove.
4. Monkey

You’re getting a fast pass today. The Horse day lights up your sense of adventure and with the Metal energy active, your ideas could gain momentum out of nowhere. If you’ve been pitching something, planning a change, or waiting on someone else’s decision — today, it moves.
The energy around you is telling you that you didn’t miss your shot, you were just waiting for the right angle. Financially, this is a day where something small could spark something big like a referral, a DM, a casual mention that turns into a game-changer. Don’t dismiss the random today. It’s not random. You’re being placed in the right rooms, even if you don’t know why yet.
5. Rat

The Metal in today’s chart matches your element perfectly and this Full Day is activating your long-term goals in a big way. You might get good news about school, travel, money, or something you thought would take much longer. Something is speeding up because you’re finally ready for it emotionally.
You’ll also feel more decisive than you have in a while. If you’ve been stuck in planning mode, today gives you the boost to just start. I see luck around applications, big emails, and someone offering help without you asking. You’ve laid the foundation and now the results begin to roll in. The more you trust yourself today, the more doors open. Don’t second-guess the message, the hunch, the weird good feeling. That’s your signal.
6. Dog

Today’s energy clears up a mess you’ve been silently dealing with, whether it’s financial stress or a loss of momentum in your personal life. You could get an overdue apology, a random text from someone you’ve been missing, or confirmation that a tough situation is finally resolving.
There’s a strong sense that something you thought was lost is actually circling back, but healthier this time. This could be about a person, job, or even your own confidence. If you’ve been stuck in your head, the breakthrough today comes in the form of real-world progress. Your abundance today feels like a sense of finally knowing. You didn’t ruin it. It’s not over. And something even better might be on its way.
