Danger Days are intense. So how do you succeed when you're told not to do anything new or try to push your agenda across the finish line? Quid pro quo, my friend. Achievement doesn't arrive because you did something magical right now. The foundation is set, and the work is completed. Hence why karma brings four animal signs what they deserve without extra effort.
1. Dragon
Design: YourTango
Dragon, you appreciate and value honesty. So, when you're stressed with a friend, you want to know what's up. You ask them to talk openly about what's bothering them, and they seem miffed by your effort. Truthfully, you feel put off, but instead of giving in, you decide to push through the frustration and find a solution.
You know the harder it is to break through the wall, the more important it is for you to keep trying. Interestingly, your persistence actually works, and the person you're trying to reach is receptive. They open up, and you do more than make a dent in what's happening. They spill all their frustration, and amazingly it leads to healing.
2. Rat

You want a close, strong relationship. Rebuilding trust after it's been broken, but you're willing to give it a shot with someone you love. Someone close to you hurt your feelings (deeply), and for a long time they refused to take ownership or apologize.
Frustrating? Yes, dealbreaker? No. You figure that if you can listen to their genuine concerns, you can get to the heart of the problem. One call or a text, and they break. All those years of investing time and energy made that possible. If you hadn't done that, today would not have happened. There ya go.
3. Ox
Design: YourTango
You long for a healthy relationship. All the therapy, self-help books, and conversations with friends and family are gonna pay off. You're ready to set healthy boundaries with someone who always pushes your buttons. It never fails! But you're one step ahead. You feel calm inside and tough on the outside.
You know what they are about, and the sensitivities that usually make you cave are fortified. You thought this was all about that person, but on October 22, it's actually about you. Eureka! You might have started this journey for them, but you are emotionally stronger for yourself.
4. Monkey
Design: YourTango
You love romance, but you're not always sure how to create it. You can always tell when someone is detaching emotionally from a relationship. It makes you wonder what is going on, but hey, you're not going to give up now. The partnership is too important to you.
Admittedly, you tend to avoid tough conversations, but this time, you're the one who should ask questions and listen. You didn't realize how much you needed this too. Showing your soft side actually is the best decision you'll make on October 22.
