As the year 2024 has already arrived, the Chinese astrology has welcomed the ‘Year of Wood Dragon’ – the only mythical creature in Chinese zodiac signs. Unlike western culture, dragons are one of the important parts of Chinese culture and astrology, which symbolises strength, power, wisdom, good fortune and success.
There are two main reasons why 2024 is called the Year of the Wood Dragon in Chinese astrology:
The Chinese zodiac animal cycle repeats every 12 years, featuring 12 mythical creatures: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
2024 falls in the same year as the Dragon in the cycle, hence the "Year of the Dragon" designation.
Each year in the zodiac cycle is also paired with one of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The five elements interact with each other in a specific cycle, and 2024 aligns with the wood element, making it the "Year of the Wood Dragon."
Therefore, combining both cycles, 2024 becomes a unique year associated with the powerful Dragon and the flourishing Wood element. This specific combination holds unique characteristics and predictions according to Chinese astrology.
Apart from this, it is also predicted that 2024 is a great year to start off with the new projects and explore new projects.
It is also believed that people born in Dragon years are often seen as charismatic leaders with bold personalities with symbolic of strength, power, good fortune, and ambition. On the other hand, wood represents growth, development, expansion, and creativity. This element adds a layer of potential for progress and innovation in 2024.
