February 10th marked the arrival of the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Wood Dragon—a year celebrated as one of the most auspicious in the Chinese zodiac. In Chinese culture, the Dragon symbolizes power, strength, and good fortune, making this year particularly special for those seeking success, luck, and prosperity.
In collaboration with celebrity psychic and astrologer Inbaal Honigman, the expert astrologers at Psychic World share insights into what the Year of the Wood Dragon has in store for each Chinese zodiac sign.
What Does the Wood Dragon Mean for Your Birth Year?
Dragon (1928, 1940, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024)
Those born in the Year of the Dragon are naturally confident and charismatic, and 2024 promises to amplify their inherent luck. “Dragon-born individuals will shine this year,” says Inbaal. “Their leadership qualities and wisdom will be recognized, and promotions or awards are highly likely. This is the year for Dragons to reap the rewards of their hard work.”
Rat (1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020)
Rats and Dragons form a successful partnership, making this year prosperous for those born under the Rat sign. “Rats don’t rely on luck—they work hard. But 2024 will bring unexpected opportunities, leading to career success and positive new connections,” says Inbaal.
Monkey (1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016)
The Monkey’s playful nature aligns well with the fiery Dragon. “Monkeys will thrive in the Wood Dragon year, turning their creativity into career opportunities. 2024 is set to be a year of fun and fruitful endeavors for Monkeys,” Inbaal adds.
Ox (1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021)
While the Ox is known for its reliability and practicality, this year’s rapid changes may feel unsettling. “The Dragon year brings unpredictability, which can stress the steadfast Ox. However, embracing change will lead to new friendships and exciting experiences,” says Inbaal.
Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022)
Tigers are brave and competitive, and the Wood Dragon will push them to step into the spotlight. “Tigers will flourish by taking calculated risks. Their courage and confidence will win them competitions and recognition in 2024,” Inbaal advises.
Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023)
Though the Rabbit’s gentle and compassionate nature may seem at odds with the fiery Dragon, 2024 promises prosperity for Rabbits. “The Rabbit is considered the luckiest sign, and in the Dragon year, they will experience great fortune and smooth sailing,” says Inbaal.
Snake (1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013)
For the subtle and independent Snake, the Dragon’s intensity may feel overwhelming. “Snakes should focus on self-care and find solace in nature. Prioritizing their wellbeing in tranquil environments will help them navigate the fast pace of 2024,” Inbaal suggests.
Horse (1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014)
The Horse’s energetic and sociable nature will bloom in the Dragon year. “Horses will find love and excitement in 2024, with new romantic prospects on the horizon. They’ll enjoy the year’s adventurous and celebratory vibe,” says Inbaal.
Goat (1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015)
For the creative and nurturing Goat, the Dragon year will be stable but not particularly eventful. “Hard work will pay off for Goats, but they should focus on self-care activities like yoga or cycling to stay grounded,” Inbaal advises.
Rooster (1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017)
Roosters can expect significant improvement in relationships during the Dragon year. “Roosters will strengthen bonds with friends, family, and romantic partners. Their ambitious and outgoing nature will serve them well in 2024,” says Inbaal.
Dog (1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018)
Dogs will find peace and harmony in 2024. “While Dogs are naturally giving and loyal, they should avoid overcommitting. Long-lost connections may reemerge, bringing joy and comfort,” Inbaal notes.
Pig (1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019)
Pigs will face challenges as the Dragon year’s intensity clashes with their laid-back nature. “Pigs should focus on long-term relationships and rely on their social circles for support in navigating 2024’s fiery energy,” advises Inbaal.
