Though the Chinese zodiac will be abundantly motivated to scale new heights at work, they must exercise caution and restraint. They may be required to phase out their goals through this month and make sacrifices for their benefit.
Special attention to health must be given. Have a balanced and nutritional diet with organic whole food to encourage good gut health during this month.

April 2024's horoscope for this Chinese zodiac sign is a bit extreme. So, the mantra to survive it is to avoid drama at all costs.
RabbitBirth years: 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023

This zodiac sign might struggle on that front and is likely to feel bogged down with all the emotional labour.

DogBirth Years: 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2030
This zodiac sign needs to hold on to their financial strings tightly because unexpected expenses might come up which will drain their savings. They also need to focus on spending less and saving more which would help their future greatly.

PigBirth years: 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031
Pigs will feel a sense of calm this month. They will also seek financial stability and their efforts will be rewarded well.

5 Chinese Zodiac Signs Have Good Luck The Rest Of The Week From Now To March 31
Break the rules, but know why you are breaking them. That's the mysterious energy in the arena of luck. After all, it's your time to seize your destiny. Of course, five Chinese zodiac signs — Pig, Dragon, Ox, Horse, and Dragon — will experience the best luck if they lean into this wisdom. There's something here for the rest of the signs, too!
This week's I Ching hexagram of luck is Thunder over Mountain (#62). It reminds us never to underestimate ourselves or our ability to learn. If you hear the universe beckoning you to follow the path, don't be afraid. Instead, dig deep and find out more about the signs and synchronicities surrounding you.
Do you believe it was a mistake? Or do you think there's no way the cosmic forces have chosen you? Nothing is big or small. It's all about relativity and context. After all, the inventor of the safety pin did the world a ton of good, just like the inventors of computer programming or the discoverers of useful minerals on Earth. Don't sabotage yourself even before you begin.
If you feel called to, sit in silence and meditate on your idea of perfectionism this week.
Why do you stop yourself from trying something? Is its worth only in its market value? Or are you holding yourself back from the pleasure of the journey? Let your soul guide you to what needs to be looked at more closely and what needs to be let go of.
Now, let's focus on the five Chinese zodiac signs that are the luckiest all week.
1. Pig(1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019)
Divine luck
Pig, destiny is on your side the entire week. Take charge of your life and make big moves. Now's not the time to shrink yourself and let anyone walk all over you. Be a worthy competitor and show them what you've got.
If you struggle with anxiety, incorporate a daily practice of meditation or some mindfulness ritual, preferably in the morning. It will help you engage with your luck better and seize the day!
2. Dragon(1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024)
Written luck
Dragon, your powers of manifestation are really strong this week, especially written manifestation. So pull out a pen and grab some paper. It's time to sit and write what you want. You will channel your luck better if you write everything like a story as if your wishes have already come true. Then, place this paper on an altar or keep it somewhere safe.
You can check back after a few weeks to test the strength of your magic. Don't be surprised if your mind is blown because it will be.
3. Ox(1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021)
Winner's luck
Ox, your energy this week is really strong in competitions, whether acknowledged or unacknowledged. You will emerge victorious as long as you keep your head straight and don't second-guess yourself. You have luck on your side!
If you feel called to, wear something that brings you luck or offers you protection from envy. It will ensure that you don't waste your luck on protection magic and reduce the strength of your outcomes if such charms are observable to all.
4. Horse(1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014)
Love & luck
Horse, your love life is super-charged this week. Prepare to have your mind blown and then some. As long as you trust your gut, whether you are engaged in something creative for your significant other or choosing who to go on a date with, you will be fine. Luck will help you choose the best and steer clear of the rest.
You can also wear a rose quartz pendant to boost your luck and self-esteem. Or work with roses to help you understand the power of beauty/attractiveness that also has healthy boundaries.

Dragon: MeditationZodiac years: 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
image credit: Andrea Piacquadio/ Pexels Never shying away from any challenge, you're extremely career-driven and committed to your goals. So much so, that you don't think twice about putting your life on the line to fulfil your desires. While there's no doubting your ability to do everything on your own, this leads to frequent burnout.
Therefore, guided meditation is the best way to combat your stress and anxiety-filled life. It's the easiest way to lift up your spirits after getting worn down by work. Unwind your mind, soothe your soul, and elevate your consciousness with meditation.
Snake: Morning detox drink or green juiceZodiac years: 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
image credit: Andrea Piacquadio/ Pexels Snakes, you're usually cool, calm and collected. You don't really bother about society's perception, leading life on your own terms (and enjoying every bit of it). While this carefree nature helps you steer clear of unwanted stress in life, it also leads you to overlook the little things pertaining to your well-being.
A part of this includes unabashedly devouring your favourite fast food and drinks, without worrying about your gut health. This is why incorporating a morning detox drink or drinking your greens in the morning is so important. By starting your morning on a healthy note, you don't have to worry as much about what you eat throughout the day.
Horse: Deep breathing exercisesZodiac years: 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
image credit: Andrea Piacquadio/ Pexels High-spirited, active, energetic – you're always on the move. Whether it's chasing a professional ambition, fulfilling duties towards your family/ friends, spending time with your partner or working on yourself – there's no concept of rest in your everyday life. What happens eventually? You're always overworked and tired.
Deep breathing exercises help you control and engage with your breath, which helps manage stress and stress-related conditions. Since you're always occupied with something, sitting down and focusing on your breath is the last thing on your list. Therefore, taking three to five minutes every day for yourself to engage with your breathing patterns will keep you more relaxed and grounded the entire day.
Goat: Maintaining a gratitude journalZodiac years: 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Goats, your selflessness and perseverance in the face of difficulties make you absolute gems. Relationships are your biggest asset, and you'll climb every mountain, and swim every ocean to be there for the people you love. Their validation and acceptance mean the world to you. However, this also means you base your self-worth on others' perception of you, getting caught in a cycle of life's worries and struggling with a healthy mindset.
So, it's important to remind yourself of all the great things you have and be more optimistic about life. A gratitude journal is just what you need to establish that. By focusing and penning down all the positives in your life, you steer yourself to greater long-term happiness and general satisfaction.
Monkey: Loving-kindness meditationZodiac years: 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
image credit: Elina Fairytale/ Pexels You're very smart and clever in your endeavours, which also contributes to your arrogant streak. Moreover, it's difficult for you to digest someone doing better than you in life, bringing your jealousy and competitive spirit to the forefront. While you're self-assured in more ways than one, others' opinions get to you at times and leave you feeling insecure.
According to The Qi, practising loving-kindness meditation boosts happiness by helping you feel more connected to your loved ones, acquaintances, and even strangers. Monkeys, this is perfect for you to feel connected to those around you, leaving behind all your insecurity and jealousy for good. This kind of meditation will make your social interactions extremely satisfying.
Rooster: Gut-healthy dietZodiac years: 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
image credit: Cats Coming/ Pexels Roosters, you desire a very simple and straightforward life, one where you have a trusted set of friends and family and a career that you love. However, there's a very sensitive and aggressive side to you that no one dares tap. You get angered when someone tells you to do things a certain way. But well, here we are telling you what's good for you anyway.
You're very picky eaters and your meals are often devoid of the much-needed vitamins and minerals. Therefore, fuelling your body with healthy meals as well as gut-healthy drinks like kombucha, organic rose tea, kefir, ginger tea or buttermilk will help you stay more focused and fuelled throughout the day and even keep you more relaxed and collected. Start by incorporating these elements into your breakfast.
Dog: Immunity-building activitiesZodiac years: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
image credit: Big Dodzy/ Unsplash Dogs, you're the epitome of all goodness. From being an ideal friend, son and partner to your loved ones to working tirelessly to achieve your professional role – there's no stopping you. However, your selflessness and ability to help others often leave you anxious and worried inside.
This anxious feeling majorly affects your gut health and you tend to dive into a pattern of unhealthy eating. And because of your hectic work schedules, you don't get time to reflect on your lifestyle and recharge. Therefore, try to start your day with immunity-boosting activities like yoga, brisk walking, meditation or a healthy breakfast.
Pig: Floral bathZodiac years: 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031
image credit: Antoni Shkraba/ Pexels Pigs, you symbolise wealth, opulence and all things luxury. You're not just big talkers who flaunt their talents, but people who actually follow up their words with actions. Since you're so caught up in work, building a legacy for the world to know, you tend to forget the concept of work-life balance.
It's time you start indulging in rejuvenating activities like a relaxing floral bath that'll wash away all your stress. Make your bath time a place of total relaxation by sprucing it up with your favourite dried flowers, and essential oils, lighting some candles and playing soothing melodies. Make it your bedtime ritual and you'll see the refreshing effects.
Rat: Writing morning pagesZodiac years: 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
image credit: Los Muertos Crew/ Pexels Rats, you're sociable and intelligent who thrive on creativity. You love being around people and while mostly you're well-liked by many, there are times when you don't know what to say and when to say it. You either come across as very blunt or too diplomatic in your dealings.
The best way to hone your communication skills is to practice mindful interaction with yourself. Morning pages are three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning. It will help de-clutter your mind, get rid of creative blocks and promote overall personal growth.
Ox: Yogic sleepZodiac years: 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
image credit: Natalie Bond/ Pexels Oxes, you rarely ask for anyone's attention yet always grab eyeballs through your consistent hard work and efforts. You're a true workaholic whose life is guided by pure logic and tireless hustle. Why not give yourself some credit and mellow things down?
The best wellness ritual for your Chinese zodiac sign is yogic sleep or yoga nidra. One of the most relaxing forms of yoga, it involves being led through mental imagery while lying on one's back. Practice it for 15 minutes every morning and you'll see the change in your personality.
Tiger: A soothing herbal teaZodiac years: 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
image credit: Mareefe/ Pexels Always brimming with energy and enthusiasm to take on the world, there's no concept of rest in your life. You like the hullabaloo of every day, and the moments of silence or being with yourself, drenched in your thoughts scares you. Tigers, you're prone to insomnia and nighttime is the most difficult part of your day. And without a good night's sleep, there's no way you can function at the top of your game.
Therefore, drinking soothing and relaxing herbal teas like Chamomile tea, Lavender tea, Ashwagandha tea, Peppermint tea or Cinnamon tea before bedtime can promote sleep.
Rabbit: Morning cardioZodiac years: 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
image credit: Jonathan Borba/ Unsplash Rabbits, you're reserved and thoughtful beings who tread steadily and cautiously in life. You're often considered too sensitive for the world and struggle to thrive in competitive or aggressive settings. You easily get anxious when put in unfamiliar territory, struggling to create peace and comfort in your mind.
If you want to open up your mind and broaden your horizons to take on life's challenges more gracefully, we recommend you start fueling your mornings the right way. After all, getting that adrenaline kick right at the beginning of the day will ensure you sail confidently later on. Go for a morning run or swim or play a sport, there's so much to explore outdoors.
