Brief Overview of the Wood Dragon Year

In 2024, the Wood Dragon year, we’re entering a new 20-year Feng Shui cycle, signaling exciting changes ahead. The last Wood Dragon year was 1964, and many exciting things happened:

  • The Beatles took the world by storm

  • President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law, abolishing racial segregation in the United States

  • The US experienced the most powerful earthquake in history in Alaska, with a 9.2 magnitude

  • Nasa launched the Mariner spacecraft to study Mars beyond our Earth’s orbit

The drama of 2024 increases with a new 20-year Feng Shui cycle that lasts until 2044. It is dominated by the Fire element and the number nine. Fire represents anything bright, shiny, and able to be lit.

The Wood Dragon year is associated with the element of strong yang wood. As a supernatural being, the Dragon is unmatched for talent and excellence, and until February 4, 2024, things will remain stable.

February 4 is a crucial and magical day in the solar Feng Shui calendar, as regardless of when the Lunar New Year falls, this is the official day that the Dragon makes his presence felt.

After February 10, things get interesting, as Dragon years are characterized by activity and reaction. In the five elemental cycle, wood fuels the element of Fire, and thus, the quality of the Dragon is enhanced. Be prepared for an unpredictable and volatile year ahead. “Never a dull moment” is the phrase for 2024!

Hallmarks of 2024:

Climate change will be the focus of 2024, a year dedicated to the environment. In many areas, flooding and landslides could result from an imbalance of the water element. The Wood Dragon encourages us to replenish the land by planting trees and looking after our forests.

Fendi’s Chinese New Year collection for 2024 is inspired by the Year of the Dragon, which began 60 years ago with the most powerful earthquake in history.

Scientists and healthcare professionals will significantly advance in 2024, while digital technology and robotics will also advance.

Dragons, this is your astrological year to shine. When you start a new year, tread carefully to avoid potholes, obstacles, and setbacks. Visit the temple to receive blessings and protection, as you are deemed to be offending the God of the year, aka Tai Sui. Self-protection against accidents and injuries can also involve shedding blood, such as getting your teeth cleaned before April.

It takes determination and good timing to navigate your way through the year. To make gains and progress, harness the positive energy of two auspicious stars, which can help you receive rewards for your past efforts.

The Monkey

The Monkey

Monkey years (1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016)

Your monkey resilience, curiosity, and problem-solving mindset will never let you down in 2024. Although your strength lies in solving physical problems, this year, you will face a different challenge: overcoming frequent problems caused by competitive forces. The key to your luck in 2024 is to set some ground rules and personal boundaries regarding who you trust, as many opinions may fly around without much substance.

Keep your focus and motivation as much will be expected of you. Protect yourself from ill advice by withdrawing when necessary. This may be a year of transition and major life changes, such as relocations, for those born in the monkey year. By listening to your heart, you can make the right decision in 2024 for the next phase of your life.

Weakest months: February, July, August and November.

The Rooster

The Rooster

Rooster years (1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017)

The Roosters will have plenty to cheer about in 2024: recovering from the clash year of 2023, the Feng Shui winds are blowing in your favor and some very auspicious stars are aligned in for you. This will allow you to step onto the stage and follow some lifelong dreams. You will feel empowered, motivated, and ready to take on whatever is presented to you. Over the past five years, you have been diligent and worked hard behind the scenes.

Your astrological best friend, the Dragon, brings rewards and recognition in 2024. A sense of freedom permeates your daily life when surrounded by the Dragon, which provides support and resolves past issues. Most roosters love to strut their stuff because they are good at it! Be careful not to crow too much in this year of rewards and accolades. You may offend others and risk your reputation if you do. Consider doing charity work if you can - it would be gratifying. Take care of your health, which may be weak under the influence of the Dragon, so that you can help others fully.

Weakest months: March, September and December.

Lucky months: April, May, August, October 2024 and January 2025.

The Dog

The Dog

The Dog

Dog years (1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006)

As you are the Dragon’s nemesis, your resilience and loyalty will be tested in 2024. You will encounter obstacles and fatigue due to numerous stars in your chart attempting to throw you one curveball after another. Daily tasks you typically thrive on may cause you to become less efficient and overwhelmed, resulting in frustration and depression. You may be in a stronger position to dig yourself out of a few holes if you have invested prudently and buried a few “bones of investments”.

As a loyal friend, you will benefit from the support given to others, so don’t be afraid to ask for advice or just to rest your wary head on someone’s shoulder. Keep your balance and avoid power struggles at work to make the most of your lucky months. Do not act impulsively; allow time to resolve specific issues that may be beyond your control.

Weakest months: April, July, September and January 2025.

Lucky months: February, March and June.

The Pig

The Pig

Pig years (1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007)

The past two years have been challenging for those born in the Years of the Pig. In 2024 life and luck will stabilize, becoming less erratic and unpredictable. When two stars indicate prosperity and power, you will find “truffles” of opportunities to increase your fame and fortune. It is an excellent year for romance or even marriage for some. You will likely be everywhere as your “dance card” will be full for most of the year, increasing your popularity. There will be new meetings as your energy shines brighter with fewer daily concerns.

You feel in control, so take on 2024 with panache, flair, and confidence. As many of this year's signs suggest, you can only make the most of your luck if you are healthy.

Weakest months: May, August and November.

Lucky months: February, March, June, July, December 2024 and January 2025.
