In the seventh month of 2024, a few Chinese zodiac members could run into bad luck, wrong timing, and general mishap.

Dragon: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000

The Dragon, while a powerful and auspicious sign, could encounter difficulties throughout 2024, especially in July, according to astrology.

Horoscope forecasts predict that sidestepping rules could land Dragons into unexpected legal troubles.

Such legal troubles could cause mental fatigue, headaches, and a loss of money that undoubtedly could put Dragons into a bad mood.

To steer clear of trouble, while it may seem rather boring, it's best to play by the book and to remain sharp.

Also be extra vigilant when it comes to signing off on paperwork or any documents that are put in front of you.

Snake: 1941 1953 1965 1977 1989 2001

Snakes could feel like their job is too demanding of their time and energy during the month of July.

Obstacles seem to be appearing in all areas at work with clients, colleagues and your boss not seeing eye-to-eye with your points of view.

A lot of effort will be required to overcome such a challenging month, Snake, for you will need to stay diligent for the entirety of the month before the workload eases up.

Bear in mind that your hard work will pay off eventually, but do take breaks to avoid burnout.

Monkeys should be aware that their health might falter in July, so it's best to take all the necessary steps to look after yourself.

Great wellness habits to implement include plenty of rest, staying hydrated, lightly exercising and eating healthily.

All these healthy habits will boost the immune system, which is very much needed at this time.

While not catastrophic, July is considered one of the weaker months for the Rat, Ox, and Dog.

There could still be good fortune for these three signs – Rat, Ox and Dog – but July won't be as favourable for them as other months will be.

However, for Dragons, Snakes and Monkeys, they might be wishing July is soon over as soon as it starts.

As with the transient nature of life, each sign will experience ups and downs throughout the year.
