Weekly Horoscope For Each Chinese Zodiac Sign From August 5 – 11, 2024
The energy this week, between August 5 – 11, 2024, has a distinctly whimsical quality to it. As we look at the weekly horoscopes, here is the general message for everyone: two can be company and three can be a crowd, so focus on high-quality relationships and try to avoid being around individuals who don’t add value to your time.
The I Ching hexagram for the week is Water over Fire (#63), changing to Wind over Earth (#20). It reminds us that patience is the key to accomplishing something, whether a dream or another goal. You cannot leave the kettle over flames while preparing tea and forget all about it. The water will boil over and create a mess or worse.
Therefore, you must show up every day when you decide which path to take. Some days are harder, and others easier, but they all contribute to the overarching storyline and the journey that leads to the destination. Waiting does not have to be boring, though. If you are mindful, it can reveal life lessons and nuggets of wisdom.
