Dragons are seen as confident, idealistic and ambitious. Known for being goal-oriented and visionary leaders, they also have a softer side. Despite their fire-breathing exterior, Dragons yearn for support, acceptance and love.

Dragon years are considered the most auspicious years of any in the Chinese Zodiac. As the only mythical creature of the zodiac, the Dragon is considered to be both powerful and benevolent. Because the rules of the earthly realm don’t apply to dragons, this year has infinite possibilities. It’s a year of increased confidence and security, of making dreams come true and sharing that wealth with others.

2024 isn’t only the Year of the Dragon, it’s the Year of the Wood Dragon. Elemental Wood represents creativity and growth. Wood years are flexible. Between the fierce independence of the Dragon and the limberness of Wood, 2024 has a fresh, vital energy that’s going to be key in breaking new ground. Though things are uncertain, they’re certainly looking bright.
