What's your luck like for July 2025, the Water Goat month? Chinese horoscopes for a time concerned with family and teamwork – and what this period can mean for your astrological sign
July 7 marked the start of the Water Goat month in the Chinese lunar calendar. In the northern hemisphere, we are now in the hot early afternoon of the year. Nature has taken over, and we surrender to it. In the southern hemisphere it's the reverse, so midwinter. The Goat (or Sheep) is predominantly yin earth in nature, suggesting a shift is approaching. This should be a smooth-sailing month. However, avoid being complacent, which may result in missed opportunities. Do be alert to potential changes in relationships, both personal and professional. Advertisement Water Goat month began on July 7. Photo: Sam Tsang The sixth solar month in the Chinese calendar is the Water Goat (July 7 to August 4) – Gui Wei. The elements of the month are yin water and earth. The summer solstice on June 21 marked the peak of the year's yang, but also the birth of yin, as the days when the qi starts to draw in. We will be reconnecting with stillness and simplicity, while grounding ourselves as a safeguard. This is the Goat month concerned with family and teamwork. In Chinese mythology, the Goat stole seeds from heaven and distributed them on Earth. Now is the start of the seed harvest. The seeds are also a metaphor for original ideas (Heaven = the mind, Earth = the body). How Goat-like are you? A Goat's nature is spontaneous, fiery and outgoing. Photo: Sam Tsang People born in Goat months are known for their inner life, insights and inspiration from the 'Heaven' of higher consciousness. A Goat's nature is typically spontaneous, fiery, outgoing, charismatic, expressive and lighthearted. Strong and resilient, their gentleness might be misleading as they have a high tolerance and will to get where they need to be and achieve what they wish to achieve through sheer determination and motivation. In essence, the goat is a herbivorous farmland animal whose main nourishment comes from grass; its primary intake corresponds to the element wood, nourished by the earth. Those born under the Goat sign can develop complacency if not presented with constant stimulation. Goats have the freedom to look for any kind of grass, never having the worry about running out of nourishment. They have mild personalities and are friendly to humans; therefore, the Chinese treat the Goat as an auspicious animal, which is why you will often see an image of three goats at temples. All Goats have their own personalities, preferring to show their independence by remaining on the edge of a group. Born with wonderful, trusting natures, they can sometimes fall prey to others because they like to please. Their desire for material gains can make them prone to becoming overemotional, which can lead to acting on rash instinct. Quiet observers, the Goat will always consider all aspects of a subject before deciding on a course of action. Far from the risk-takers of the zodiac, Goats enjoy social activities that involve puzzle solving.

Pete Alonso praises Francisco Lindor's toughness after clutch Mets win
The post Pete Alonso praises Francisco Lindor's toughness after clutch Mets win appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Mets secured a dramatic 4–2 win over the Colorado Rockies Friday night, powered by a moment that blended pain, timing, and leadership. With the game tied and two outs in the ninth, Francisco Lindor, who had missed two games due to a broken pinky toe, delivered a pinch-hit, two-run double that proved to be the difference. Advertisement The comeback marked yet another instance of this year's team delivering in moments where past Mets squads have fallen short, as New York extended its hot streak to six wins in its last eight games. But this win was about more than the scoreboard — it was about Lindor's grit, and no one recognized that more than Pete Alonso. 'We are spoiled because, with him, you get a guy who is just willing to strap it on regardless of how he feels or regardless of how his health is,' Alonso told The Athletic's Will Sammon. 'I just have nothing but the most amount of respect. For me, knowing him, it's like, 'Of course. Of course he's going to do that.' But when you really take a step back, that's really special — having a teammate willing to put his body on the line every single day like that. It's a true pro, and he embodies that.' Alonso had already put the Mets ahead earlier with a two-run double in the seventh — another highlight to the start of his red-hot 2025 campaign, where he leads the league with 57 RBIs, including 14 over his last six games. Advertisement Lindor came off the bench cold and delivered in a high-pressure moment. After the game, he remained characteristically humble, downplaying the spotlight as he often does. 'I just wanted to play… It was cool that I got to play and feel like part of the team.' His teammates echoed that sentiment in the dugout— a willingness to step up when it mattered most, even at less than 100 percent. If last night was any indication, Lindor's presence — even in limited action — remains a game-changing force.
