Sometimes, to discover the hidden wisdom of this world, one must first be willing to be open-hearted. That’s the theme and energy of this week between July 8 – 14, 2024. But before we look at the weekly horoscopes for every Chinese zodiac sign, here are the general messages for everyone.
The I Ching hexagram this week is Thunder over Thunder (#51). It tells the story of being asleep … and then suddenly waking up in shock at the crash of a thunder so loud you thought the sky was about to fall on your head! It’s a metaphorical message urging you to not wait until the very last moment when you know something is important.
This is especially true if you are in an abusive situation where gaslighting words and emotional upheaval are slowly chipping away all the best parts of you. Don’t wait for the crash of thunder when the energy vampires have devoured everything they wished to! Tap into the thunder within your soul and know that you can change your fate and write your destiny. Don’t you know how strong you can roar?
