Choices and more choices! That’s the theme of this week between May 13 – 19, 2024. Make your choices from your heart. Before we look at the weekly horoscopes for every Chinese zodiac sign, here are the general messages of the week for everyone.
The I Ching hexagram of the week is Fire over Mountain (#56), changing to Water over Earth (#8). Its message is simple: not everyone is meant to stay where they were born. Some are meant to go beyond their homeland and learn from all manners of people, places, and cultures. In that process, they are also meant to find the mates of their souls.
These friends may not be part of a single community. Most of the time, they will be scattered, just as you were born elsewhere. Yet they will be your soulmates and will bring you love and lessons in more ways than one. So don’t restrict yourself. Broaden your horizons, and make friends where you could have never believed you would ever find a tribe.
Now, let’s focus on the weekly horoscopes for each Chinese zodiac sign for May 13 – 19.
What each Chinese zodiac sign needs to know about the week of May 13:
