The Goat animal sign lives for making other people happy. When their friendly energy is paired with Wood, the element that represents new beginnings, and the lucky Open Day energy, relationships that are kinda going through it get a fresh start.
1. Rabbit
Design: YourTango
On Friday, you finally have a breakthrough in a specific friendship that's been in a rut. You are always willing to go the extra mile, but you can't keep doing that when the energy isn't being matched. Deep in your heart, you've believed there is a way to fix it, or else you wouldn't have stuck around for so long. You were right, Rabbit.
The conversation that you've been hoping to have about it thankfully comes up naturally on September 18. It's been a long time coming. I'm sure you're relieved that the day has finally arrived. The relationship seems promising at long last.
2. Pig
Design: YourTango
Pig, you have been patient and optimistic about a problem with a co-worker. But even you get tired of waiting for things to improve eventually. You finally get an opportunity to do something about it on September 18.
Once you stop telling yourself that this situation is impossible to resolve, the solution becomes so obvious. Since it's an Open Day, it means this person is open to working with you on it, too. Consider your crisis averted. Thank goodness!
3. Horse
Design: YourTango
You know that you were born to be free, but it's not until Friday that you finally own that for yourself. Taking a stand could lead to a little bit of an argument with someone close to you. That tension is necessary for your hard time to end, Horse. If you don't say how you feel, they'll never know.
You accept that you may have to say something that hurts their feelings for the truth to be told. You respect that an apology is hard to give, but you are willing. September 18 gives you an opening for a conversation that should have happened a long time ago, to be honest. Today, coming clean works for you.
4. Goat
Design: YourTango
On Friday, a relationship officially hits the reset button. You both want the same thing, which is not to be dependent on the partnership. You have things to do, and holding on to the past is actually hurting both of you.
One version of this relationship ends on September 18. But there's still an opportunity here for the next version to take shape, whatever that looks like for you. The important thing is that you're given the gift of peace, and that truly is the best way for your hard time to end.
