What the Year of the Dragon Has in Store for Each Zodiac in 2024
As we step into the Year of the Wood Dragon, it's an opportunity to align our internal growth with our homes and surroundings.
Welcome to 2024, the Year of the Wood Dragon! In the Chinese zodiac, each year is marked by a unique combination of two elements. According to Chinese metaphysics, the zodiac signs are each associated with one of the five elements: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. The Dragon is associated with the Earth element, and this year, the dragon finds its counterpart in the Wood element.
The Lunar New Year offers a chance for renewal and an opportunity to reaffirm your New Year’s resolutions. The Dragon brings Earth's stability; however, the year's wood element introduces a strong and controlling energy. In the study of Chinese metaphysics, the wood element tries to dominate the earth, which means in 2024 we are likely to see more conflict and less harmony. To navigate this energy, approach the year with a positive mindset. Practice patience and self-awareness and be adaptable to your surroundings. Manage the energy in your surroundings, including your Feng Shui, and surround yourself with positive energy.
In Chinese astrology, the dragon symbolises strength and prosperity. People born in the Year of the Dragon are typically confident and ambitious, attracting attention wherever they go. Dragons are compatible with those born under the Rat and Monkey years.
The following are the general predictions for 2024 for each Chinese zodiac animal sign. This guide provides an overview based on your birth year, which is just one aspect of your zodiac profile. Considering your birth month, day, and time is essential for a full picture. View this as a starting point; a complete understanding requires a more detailed analysis. To determine your animal sign, refer to the year you were born. If your birthday falls after February 4th, your animal sign is that year. If it falls before February 4th, your animal sign is the previous year.
