The year of 2024 according to the Hsia almanac calendar is the year of yang wood dragon. It is symbolised by yang wood sitting on yang earth. This is a conflicting relationship because according to the cycle of life and death of elements wood conquers earth. Yang wood is like a tall big tree, stubborn and uncompromising. Expect more international conflicts. The dragon is an earth element and is a storage of water. Dragon is a very strong earth and normally in dragon years you can expect more earthquakes or landslides or other Earth related disaster.
The lichun for 2024 is February 4-5pm
The lichun is like the astrological natal chart of the year. In this four pillars you can see the clash of dog and dragon and tiger with monkey. So I expect this year to have major political clashes particularly in the Middle East because this year’s quarrelsome star #3 is sitting in the the central or middle palace of the current year flying star chart, but they will simmer down in the autumn months (represented by metal element) and resolved by end of the year. 2025 being a wood snake year should be more peaceful.
The dragon year is considered a self punishing animal. So those born in the year of the dragon may suffer more mishaps. To mitigate this they should wear a rooster pendant or have rooster pictures around them. This year is not good for those born in the year of the dog. For those born in the Year of the dog try to travel more often or even move House. Dog people should also avoid mountain activities. Avoid mountain climbing for example.
For those who are born in the Rooster year, this year will bring “tau Hua” or peach blossom (flower of romance). So they can anticipate more partying with more opportunity to mingle more meaningfully with the opposite sex. People born in the Tiger or Dog year may be into a year of “Travelling Horse” and the Dragon year will instigate more travelling and movement.
Economy wise things should be better than the last two years.
The yang wood yang earth element of 2024 is expected to bring prosperity to wood and metal businesses, this is because wood destroys earth, so the earth element is money luck to the wood industry, which includes textile, environment, paper, wood furniture – Ikea could do very well this year, and magazines.The second best industries could be metal, as metal conquers wood, so wood is money to metal industry. Metal industries are hi tech, banking, machinery, cars, forecast, bitcoin, engineering. Fire industry is also positive as fire produces earth, so it will be an active year for fire elements such as stocks, finance, energy, power generating, oil, restaurants , catering. The not so good industry is earth. Earth industries are construction, property, agriculture, chemical, and mining. For a strong earth year, this industry will be very active, but competition is also very strong and the wood dragon pulls in many competitors.
Stock market can do well because people are becoming more optimistic. When people feel Optimistic they buy. The five element represent particular emotions that govern the feelings of the people.
Water – fear
Fire – happiness/optimism
Wood – anger/impatience
Metal – grief
earth – stability
Wood is a precursor to fire. So people tend to feel more upbeat.
Famous people born in the dragon year are :-
John Lennon
Bruce Lee
Rihanna
Vladimir Putin
Che Guevara
Boris Johnson
Al Pacino

Chinese fengshui believes that ‘dragons come from heavens and dogs come from hell’ so generally speaking, during the dog and dragon years there are more supernatural activities going on. More ufo and ghost sightings and other unexplainable supernatural occurrences.
