The Year of the Dragon begins February 10, 2024

The Dragon brings good fortune, unpredictability and excitement. A mystical creature that lives in the sky, the Dragon represents of the yang energy of the universe and is the epitome of strength, creativity and prosperity. In ancient times it stood for the divine power of the emperor and his supernatural abilities, today it is the ultimate symbol of luck.

Action, energy and vitality are the keywords now. The Dragon year will be good for beginning new business, initiating projects. getting married and having children. Money will be easier to come by; the economy could improve. There will be more energy too, but remember to look before you leap. The Dragon is all about drama and if you are not careful, the tumult could be your own.

People born in Dragon years are innovative, enterprising, brave, passionate, conceited and quick-tempered. Free spirits who live unpredictable lives, they are extroverted, irrepressible and lucky. They are flamboyant, colorful, creative, confident in the face of adversity and make excellent artists, inventors, philosophers, engineers, psychoanalysts, politicians, actors and musicians. Those born in Water years are particularly good leaders, since the liquid that calms their fire makes them open to other opinions and enables them to channel their personal charisma into command.

Dragon people are generally healthy, but since they like to burn the candle at both ends, they can drain their energy, have emotional outbursts and suffer from occasional ill health. These problems can be remedied by initiating a calming routine in their daily lives, such as tai chi, chi kung or meditation, practices that soothe mind and spirit while rejuvenating the body.
