Weekly Chinese Horoscope, August 24 to August 30, 2025: 5 zodiacs that need to be cautious

Dog

This week asks Dogs to tread carefully. Your loyalty and leadership are admired, but you may feel weighed down by duties or unfairly blamed for things beyond your control. Stress can build if you stretch yourself too thin or get caught in conflicts that aren’t yours to solve. The best approach is to prioritize your own well-being and steer clear of unnecessary rivalries. Protecting your peace is far more valuable than winning arguments.

Horse

Horses step into a week that feels more serious than playful. Work matters or personal ties may push you to re-evaluate where you stand, and you might sense that it’s time to end one phase and start fresh. On Thursday, a Dog’s support could bring useful perspective, but overall the week is about responsibility and maturity. Think of it as a period of refining yourself though the process may feel heavy as you let go of roles that no longer serve you.

Snake

For Snakes, emotions could run deep this week. Old disappointments or memories may resurface, making it harder to stay light-hearted. You may also be tempted to overwork, using busyness as a shield against feelings. Still, there’s a chance of renewed faith either in a person or in life itself. The key lesson is to consciously choose joy even when responsibility weighs on you. Insight from a Horse or Dog could remind you to stay true to yourself.

Goat

Goats enter a thoughtful yet slightly pressured phase. It’s a time to look back at what’s been done and carefully plan for what lies ahead. You might feel the push of deadlines or the ticking of time in areas like family, studies, or joining new ventures. Though there’s some supportive energy especially on August 22, you may still feel weighed down by the sense of urgency. Protecting your energy and pacing yourself will be crucial.

Rat

Rats may find this week frustrating, with delays and waiting taking center stage. Progress could feel slow as you depend on others’ decisions or actions. This pause, however, pushes you to reflect on how often you’ve put your own life on hold. By noticing what uplifts you and what drains you, you’ll gain valuable clarity. Still, the lack of visible movement may leave you impatient.
