The Chinese New Year begins on February 10, 2024, shortly after the New Moon in Aquarius on the 9th and 2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon. It is said to be a lucky year in Chinese Astrology, as it represents:
Power and Courage
Peace and Unity
Prosperity and Unity
Authenticity
These qualities align with Western Astrology’s Aquarius New Moon message as well as the Numerology of 2024: an 8 year (2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 8), symbolizing:
Confidence
Strength
Power
Dragon energy is believed to sharpen intelligence & wit; along with deepening wisdom and the understanding of the world around us.
The Wood element helps slow down and soften the dragon’s fiery, fierce and hasty nature. It allows you to focus on long term goals and expand your vision for the future. Stay the Course is its mantra as “Slow and Steady wins the race.”
Dragon energy can cause sudden outbursts of anger, coming from the ego, rather than from the heart.
Together, this dragon energy of hastiness and volatility, is tempered by the wood element, allowing it to slow down and build solid foundations instead of creating fleeting and unstable ones.
Haste makes waste.
2024 Wood Dragon Energy is ripe for new beginnings and new ventures. Just make sure that they come from the heart and not the EGO.
Green is the colour connected to both the HEART CHAKRA & the WOOD ELEMENT. Try using green in 2024, by:
Wearing it
Surrounding yourself with nature and natural surroundings, green crystals, such as jade, emerald etc.
Meditating on the heart chakra and surrounding it with green light
Power and Strength come from a Balance between opposites, like internal and external thoughts and feelings; Independence and Relationships; Giving and Receiving; Slowing Down and Revving Up; Taking Action and Going with the Flow etc. Turn obstacles into opportunities.
This is also a yang-inspired year of masculine energy, initiating action & decisiveness. It is asking you to be strong and brave in making your decisions but not bold and arrogant. This energy encourages forward movement in a calm and steady manner. Make authenticity your modus operandi.
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at, change.
May this “Chinese Year of the Wood 🐉 Dragon” bring you Peace & Prosperity, Strength & Courage; Tenacity & Authenticity, along with the things that your heart most desires!
