In the Year of the Wood Dragon, some animals will enjoy good fortune, others will face obstacles and challenges
The Dragon is the only zodiac animal that is imaginary. In Chinese culture, Dragon is seen as the most vital and powerful creature. However, it is also known for its hot temper and sharp tongue.
This year will see some zodiac animals have great wealth, while others obtain strong love and relationships. But on the flip side are the animals who clash with the Dragon and face the most challenges.
1. Dragon will clash and be challenged in their zodiac year
For Dragons, this year marks your zodiac year, also called 本命年 (Ben Ming Nian). Unfortunately, in Chinese culture, it is believed that Ben Ming Nian brings poor fortune. The reason stems from a deity called Tai Sui, who oversees fate and fortune for all living beings. Tai Sui changes every year and is easily offended by those who share his zodiac sign.
That means, as a Dragon, you are "offending" Tai Sui in 2024. This can lead to bad luck, misfortune, conflicts with others, health issues, and career setbacks.
However, in Chinese astrology, it is believed that you can appease Tai Sui by wearing red clothes or accessories, jade jewellery, or an amulet of your zodiac sign. These will protect you and attract good luck.
2. Dog will struggle because of misunderstandings with Dragon
Dragon and Dog are considered incompatible due to their values and personalities being polar opposites.
While Dragon is dominant, adventurous, and powerful, Dog is cooperative, realistic, and humble. Their opposing personalities makes it hard for them to get along. This results in Dog having a challenging 2024 in terms of career, health, and finances.
However, Dogs can still have a good year, overcoming difficulties due to their determination and resilience.
3. Tiger has to trust their inner voice and be wary of two-faced people
As a bold and competitive zodiac sign, Tiger will clash with Dragon's equally adventurous, strong energy. This is because Dragon does not allow anyone to challenge them in their year.
Tiger will have to be extra cautious in the coming months. Your career and projects may face many obstacles, and people you thought you could trust may actually be seeking to undermine you.
However, you have excellent intuition, so be sure to trust your inner voice and strength above the noise of others. Stay away from high risk investments, and be cautious of people who may be using you.
4. Ox must learn new ways to solve old problems
Ox will face conflicts, setbacks, and stagnation this year. To overcome these challenges, you must break old patterns and make yourself flexible and adaptable to change.
Both Ox and Dragon are known for their determination and excellent work ethic, however Dragon may not favour you due to your practical and rational approach to life, which conflicts with their creative and exciting methods. Try to introduce new ways of solving old problems, and balance tradition with innovation.
This will be a good year for you to grow and evolve if you can let go of your ego and stubbornness, and learn to bend the rules a little. These changes will benefit you in the long run.
5. Goat should remain calm despite being surrounded by chaos
Along with Dog and Ox, Goat is one of the least compatible signs with Dragon. That means you may face extra challenges this year.
Overcome obstacles by exuding understanding, patience, and tolerance for others. Many people may try to hinder your progress or irritate you in general. Rather than getting angry or cutting them off, you must remain calm and allow the situation to diffuse naturally.
Give more attention to the people who matter to you, and you'll find that they will help you when you face difficulties later on.
