The Year of the Wood Dragon isn’t exclusively lucky for those born in a Dragon year; the zodiac sign has been less lucky than usual in 2024.

The Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year, began on February 10 this year and has brought good fortune to many other animals in the Chinese zodiac, particularly the Rat.

This week, it’s expected to have improved financial success, along with two other zodiac animals.

Valeria Black, an intuitive Tarot Card Reader, spiritual guide, and astrologer, has named three animals that will “attract financial success and good fortune” during the week of November 11 to 17.

She highlighted the importance of knowing what to do with results and success to reap the benefits of financial reward.

People born in the year of the Goat (1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015) have “an excellent financial forecast this week”, said Valeria.

Not just those born in Goat Years will benefit from it either. Loved ones they are connected to through the heart will also indirectly reap the rewards.

Taking time to budget and overcome any financial blocks will help those born in the Year of the Goat unlock their success this week.

As for lucky charms, the “power colour”, dark brown, is one to watch.

The astrologer urged those born in the Year of the Rat (1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, and 2020) not to become overwhelmed by their financial success this week.

She said: “Ground yourself so self-sabotage doesn’t pipe up and muck all the good energy coming your way.”

Securing a well-earned promotion is on the cards this week for those born in the Year of the Rat, but Valeria warned that first you must let go of any jealousy in your environment to access good fortune.

That said, being selective about who you share your wins with is also important. The astrologer added: “Since your power colour for the week is white, white food items like radish, cauliflower, and some varieties of mushrooms will have a positive impact on you.”

Roosters (born in 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017) will have strong odds in favour of financial success this week, with their hard work about to pay off.

It will come when those born in Rooster years invest in their creativity and allow it to pave the way.

However, negative energy could hinder such good fortune, so Valeria recommends taking steps to clear negative energy. She suggested burning sage, using crystals and limiting time spent with those with a negative outlook.
