The year of the wood dragon 2024: a symbol of power, wisdom, and good luck
The Chinese Calendar is very peculiar when compared to ours. The Chinese New Year 2024 is the year of the Wood Dragon. For those who don’t know, every Chinese zodiac sign is linked to one of the five Natural elements ( Fire, Wood, Earth, Water, and Metal), and the year 2024 is connected with the Wood element. Therefore, it will be known as the Year of the Wood Dragon.
Chinese new year 2024- the year of the wood dragon
“The Dragon is the fifth sign displayed among the twelve of the Chinese zodiac, and in our Western zodiac, it corresponds to Aries. With Yang polarity, it is ruled by the planet Jupiter. The element of those born under the Dragon sign is Wood, the stone is green jasper, the flower is the lotus, the metal is iron, the herb is rosemary, the aroma is lavender, the color is red, and the lucky number is 8.”
The Dragon is a respected symbol in Chinese tradition known for its power, wisdom, honesty, kindness, and good luck. Generally, the Year of the Wood Dragon brings everyone growth, success, prosperity, and abundance.
The power of the wood element
In Chinese tradition, the Wood element is known to be the element of growth, vigor, development, creativity, and new beginnings. The energy of Wood also represents the color green, forests, and a climate with strong winds. Therefore, issues related to environmental concerns like deforestation, soil degradation, and wildfires, among others, will be on the agenda.
The Year of the Dragon represents hard work and power for growth and prosperity. 2024 is also the cradle of the Fire element, an element capable of creating passion, creativity, invention, and introducing new things. The People born under the sign of the dragon can be a bit temperamental; however, they do not tolerate procrastination or self-pity and value action and productivity.
This powerful relationship between Wood and Fire can be compared to a spark and a flame. The small spark has the power to transform into a vast bonfire. The downside is that we might have significant wildfires this year.

In 2024, we will observe that the dynamic energy of the Dragon contrasts strongly with the softer energy of the Rabbit despite the closeness of these two animals in the Chinese calendar. The cautious atmosphere of the past year gives way to a strong propensity to take risks in all areas with the goal of achieving fame and fortune.
In general, the Chinese New Year comes with the energy of the Dragon, bringing to the 12 Chinese zodiac signs a taste for learning, a desire to discover new things, a new curiosity for creative disciplines, confidence in oneself, and a passion for travel and entertainment. But it must be made clear from now: the Dragon does not tolerate procrastination and much less self-pity. Only action and productivity count in the eyes of this majestic animal.
