Welcome to the Year of the Dragon – February 10, 2024 through January 28, 2025

In Chinese/Vietnamese astrology, the Year of the Dragon occurs every 12 years. The last dragon year occurred in 2012 and the next one will be in 2036.

Dragon years began in these years and ended the following year on the day before the
first new moon that occurs between January 20th and February 21st:


1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012

This year, 2024, is known as the Year of the Wood Dragon because all universal years that end in 4 – regardless of astrology sign – are associated with the wood element. As a result, wood will be a big theme in 2024.

The last time we had a Year of the Wood Dragon was in 1964. And the last time we had a Year of the Wood Dragon in an 8 universal year was in 1844!

In numerology, 8 universal year occurs when the numbers in a calendar YEAR add up to 8. For instance, 2024 is 2+0+2+4=8, which is associated with money, power, and karma.

The overall theme for this Dragon year is: Go Big or Go Home!
