From February 10, 2024, we will officially leave the Year of the Rabbit and welcome the wonderful Year of the Dragon. Specifically, the Year of the Wood Dragon!
So, given the tree element of the Lunar New Year 2024, people born under certain elements of the Five Element Theory of Chinese Astrology will have an extremely fertile year this time.
3 elements of the Chinese zodiac that experience an incredibly lucky lunar year of the Dragon
The Chinese zodiac element “Fire” will be the happiest in the Lunar Year of the Dragon 2024
If you were born under the influence of the Fire element in Chinese astrology, you will experience extreme luck this year, because in the creative cycle of the elements, Wood feeds Fire. And since 2024 lunar year is a tree year, you can say that the energies this year will “have” those born in a fire year, including:
- 1956 – Year of the Fire Monkey
- 1957 – Year of the Fire Rooster
- 1966 – Year of the Fire Horse
- 1967 – The Year of the Fire Goat
- 1976 – The Year of the Fire Dragon
- 1977 – Year of the Fire Snake
- 1986 – The Year of the Fire Tiger
- 1987 – The Year of the Fire Rabbit
- 1996 – The Year of the Fire Rat
- 1997 – The Year of the Fire Ox
- 2006 – Year of the Fire Dog
- 2007 – Year of the Fire Pig
- 2016 – Year of the Fire Monkey
- 2017 – year of the Fire Rooster
Any year that ends with the number 6 or 7 is a Fire year. So, if your birth year is not listed, this will help you find out if you will be lucky in 2024 as well.
As a Fire Elemental, you will find that you will easily put your plans into action and get good recommendations from those around you. Opportunities can also land on your doorstep, although you will need to assess whether or not they are necessary for your growth and long-term goals. You will also find it easier to make friends this year and will naturally thrive in the limelight, especially if you have a public career, whether as an influencer, artist, politician, teacher, etc.
However, fire elementals should beware of over-enthusiasm! So make sure you don’t rush headfirst into things in 2024 without doing your due diligence, as this could hinder your good fortune. But you can counter this with gratitude rituals directed at your ancestors or divine power, depending on your spiritual beliefs.
Being charitable and helping others will also be beneficial. After all, what goes around comes around. It is good to create harmony and goodwill in your community and surroundings when you are blessed.
Finally, it is important to note that the Chinese zodiac signs Monkey and Rooster are naturally ruled by the element Metal, which is destroyed by Fire in the destructive cycle. So people born in Fire Monkey or Fire Rooster years will have less luck compared to their fiery counterparts in the birth year list above.
Similarly, the Chinese zodiac signs Snake and Horse are naturally ruled by the element of Fire and will be luckier than other signs this year.
The Chinese zodiac element “Wood” will have luck and wealth in the Lunar Year of the Dragon 2024.
If you were born under the influence of the element “Wood” in Chinese astrology, you will be very lucky this year. It is the Year of the Wood Dragon after all! Wooden lunar years include:
- 1954 – Year of the Wooden Horse
- 1955 – The Year of the Wooden Goat
- 1964 – The Year of the Wood Dragon
- 1965 – Year of the Wood Snake
- 1974 – The Year of the Wood Tiger
- 1975 – The Year of the Wood Rabbit
- 1984 – The Year of the Wood Rat
- 1985 – The Year of the Wooden Ox
- 1994 – The Year of the Wooden Dog
- 1995 – The Year of the Wooden Pig
- 2004 – The Year of the Wood Monkey
- 2005 – Year of the Wooden Rooster
- 2014 – Year of the Wooden Horse
- 2015 – Year of the Wooden Goat
Any year that ends with the number 4 or 5 is a tree year in Chinese astrology. So if your birth year is not listed, this trick will help you find out if you will be lucky in 2024.
As a Wood Elemental, you will find opportunities and open doors wherever you go this year. And if you feel confused, guides and mentors will appear seemingly out of nowhere to help you figure out where to go or how to clear your confusion.
Your luck in personal finance, investments and real estate will be particularly strong. Businesses run by Wood leaders will also be blessed. Just make sure you don’t take out too many loans this year. A more conservative approach with moderate risk will benefit you. Also, since the tree is a communal element, you should simultaneously build or support your community this year, even as you focus on your personal goals and long-term vision. Charitable actions, volunteering, and creating avenues for children to learn, grow, and understand the world are especially recommended.
Finally, it is also important to note that the Chinese zodiac signs Ox, Dragon, Goat and Dog are naturally ruled by the Earth element, which is destroyed by the Tree in the destructive cycle. So people born in Wood Ox, Wood Dragon, Wood Goat and Wood Dog years will have less luck compared to their counterparts in the list of birth years above.
Likewise, the Chinese zodiac signs Tiger and Rabbit are naturally ruled by the Wood element and will have extremely strong luck this year.
The Chinese zodiac element Water will be lucky in relationships in the Lunar Year of the Dragon 2024
If you were born under the influence of the Water element in Chinese astrology, you will experience simple and sweet luck in 2024, because in the creative cycle of the Chinese zodiac elements, Water nourishes a tree. That is why water is also called the “mother” of wood, as it has a nourishing and beneficial effect on the latter element.
Although your luck may not be as strong as that of natives ruled by Fire and Wood, since the Lunar Year of the Dragon 2024 is a Year of Wood, you can tell that its energies will have a harmonious effect on those born in Water year. But Water natives will experience true luck only when they choose to cooperate with individuals of the Wood element this year.
Here’s a list of all the water moon years over the past 70 years, so you can check if your birth year is one of them:
- 1952 – Year of the Water Dragon
- 1953 – Year of the Water Snake
- 1962 – Year of the Water Tiger
- 1963 – Year of the Water Rabbit
- 1972 – Year of the Water Rat
- 1973 – Year of the Water Ox
- 1982 – Year of the Water Dog
- 1983 – The Year of the Water Pig
- 1992 – Year of the Water Monkey
- 1993 – Year of the Water Rooster
- 2002 – Year of the Aquarius
- 2003 – Year of the Water Goat
- 2012 – Year of the Water Dragon
- 2013 – Year of the Water Snake
- 2022 – Year of the Water Tiger
- 2023 – Year of the Water Rabbit
Any year that ends with the number 2 or 3 is a water year. So, if your birth year is not listed, this will help you find out if you will be lucky in 2024 as well.
As a water elemental, your luck may not be super strong in 2024, but you will feel a synergistic effect this year wherever you decide to go and whatever you decide to do. Life will be simpler and sweeter for you, although you may get bored — but that’s better than the seemingly endless challenges some will face in 2024. So be sure to send your thanks to ether for the peace and contentment you receive. Offerings of flowers, fruit, and incense are particularly suitable for this.
Your love life will also flourish this year. As well as your relationships with loved ones. You can pour the good energy you have into your creative projects. This will bring you the most luck in the long run, even if you don’t experience it directly this year.
Finally, it is important to note that the Chinese zodiac signs Snake and Horse are naturally ruled by the element of Fire, which is destroyed by Water in the destructive cycle. So people born in Water Snake or Water Horse years will have less luck compared to their counterparts in the birth year list above.
Similarly, the Chinese zodiac signs Pig and Rat are naturally ruled by the element of Water and will experience more harmony and peace in 2024.
