What the Year of the Dragon Means for You, According to Your Chinese Zodiac Sign
"A person’s Chinese zodiac sign is determined by his or her date of birth," Chinese metaphysics consultant Vicki Iskandar tells PEOPLE ahead of the New Year
According to the lunar calendar, Chinese New Year — also called the Spring Festival — falls on Feb. 10 and celebrates the year of the Wood Dragon.
In comparison to western astrology, which uses a solar calendar based on the position of the sun, Chinese metaphysics consultant Vicki Iskandar tells PEOPLE that the Chinese zodiac uses both solar and lunar calendars, which is based on phases of the Moon.
"Seasonal celebrations and festivals such as the Lunar New Year follow the lunar calendar," says Iskandar, who's also the author of The Chinese Five Elements Oracle. The date is determined each year based on when the moon turns new in China, which falls one day after the new moon rises in the United States on Feb. 9, 2024.
While the Lunar New Year follows the lunar calendar in Chinese astrology, Iskandar explains that "a new astrological year falls on Feb. 4 each year according to the solar calendar." This calendar is used by Chinese astrologers to calculate a person’s natal chart.
"Babies born between Feb. 4, 2024 to Feb. 3, 2025 will have the Wood Dragon as the animal sign of their birth year," says Iskandar. "Since the astrological year starts on Feb. 4 each year, those born between Jan. 1 to Feb. 3 will still have the previous year’s animal sign as their zodiac sign."
Chinese zodiac signs are represented by 12 animals, in comparison to Western astrology signs which were named after constellations in the sky. Also, a person's Chinese zodiac sign is divided on a year-by-year basis rather than a month-by-month basis Western astrology; they also are assigned an element (wood, earth, fire, metal or water) based on their birth year.
"A person’s Chinese zodiac sign is determined by his or her date of birth," explains Iskandar. "So a person born in the year of the Rabbit [last year's sign] will always have the Rabbit as their zodiac sign."

Dragon (1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012)
For those born in the year of the Dragon, 2024 is your year! Many changes and opportunities may arise in 2024 as the Grand Duke Jupiter visits your sign.
“The year one encounters the animal sign of their birth is usually a life-changing one, and it often coincides with Jupiter return in one's natal chart,” writes Iskandar in her prediction blog.
The Dragon as a Yang Earth sign possesses resilience and confidence, and are “naturally lucky and successful” due to their intelligence and strong intuition.
Iskandar warns of “self-sabotaging behaviors,” though, as the Dragon is afflicted with the “Double Dragon Penalty,” which can cause “self-doubts and self-defeating thoughts and actions” as a result.
Since 2024 is a Dragon return year, Iskandar notes you’ll “have the power to turn your life around for the better” if you stay positive and believe in yourself. She recommends keeping a bird charm on you for good luck.
“It’s a good idea to carry a charm or symbol of the Bird or the Rooster as the Dragon’s secret friend this year for protection,” writes Iskandar, noting a Phoenix as one of her top suggestions.

“Since the Snake shares the same Southeast palace as the Dragon in the Bagua map, visited by star 2 of illness, prioritize your health,” writes Iskandar. “As a Yin Fire sign, the Snake’s energy level and emotions can be up and down – check in often with yourself and rest to recuperate.”

Horse (1942, 1954,1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014)
For those born in the year of the Horse, 2024 is a year to listen. Iskandar notes that this Yang Fire sign had a “sociable” 2023 “with the Rabbit as the Horse’s Peach Blossom star,” which means that the year of the Wood Dragon “is poised to be a quieter year” for Horse signs.
With the Dragon leaving the Horse alone, Iskandar predicts the Horse will get “a chance to create their own stories this year and carve their own path.” She says your natural “charismatic and optimistic” nature will benefit you with this endeavor.
Iskandar recommends doing “thorough research” and reading contracts “carefully” before “committing to a project or a financial commitment.” This is because a “hostile star 7 visiting the South palace where the Horse is located in the Bagua map,” she writes.
Furthermore, Star 7 is also associated with speaking, which is why Iskandar considers 2024 “a great year for those who’d like to train to be a better public speaker.” Keep outting in the work,” she predicts the “rewards will come in 2025.”

Sheep/Goat (1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015)
2024 may require a bit of problem solving for those born in the year of the Sheep — but don’t worry, you’re capable!
Coming off a year of “harmony and support” as an “ally of the Rabbit” in 2023, Iskandar predicts the year of the Dragon “is poised to be a bumpier, slower year for the Sheep.”
This is because the Dragon “squares the Sheep,” she writes. Fortunately, Iskandar mentions that this Yin Earth sign “is highly resourceful and can find solutions to any problem.”
Iskandar suggests turning to your peers to “collaborate instead of competing with those who can help you.” She also recommends keeping a pen and paper on you to jot down ideas that may arise.
“Inspiration comes easy this year with star 9 of joy and prosperity visiting the Southwest sector where the Sheep resides in the Bagua chart,” Iskandar notes. “As a star of relationship, star 9 helps you find partners and allies.”

Monkey (1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016)
For those born in the year of the Monkey, take advantage of 2024 as Iskandar predicts “a more harmonious year as an ally of the Dragon.” This is because the Dragon can provide “support and grounding” to the “fast-paced” Monkey.
“As a travel star and a Yang Metal sign, the Monkey is swift and doesn’t hesitate to step outside of the comfort zone,” writes Iskandar. “This is an ideal year to keep expanding your boundaries. Rely on your sharp instinct in taking a leap into the unknown.”
Iskandar highlights that metal is the element “that controls Wood,” which gives the Monkey “the power and the skills to make 2024 — the Year of the Wood Dragon — one of your best years.”
She also stresses the importance to “follow what excites the heart,” as star 9 of “joy and prosperity” is in the Southwest sector where the Monkey resides in the Bagua chart. Star 9 is “associated with the Fire trigram and the heart,” Iskandar writes.

Rooster / Bird (1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017)
For those born in the year of the Rooster, things will feel much calmer. Now that the Dragon is here, Iskandar notes that this sign — which is also symbolized by the Bird — “can take a sigh of relief” this year.
“As the sign opposite the Rabbit, the Bird was under heavy pressure from the Grand Duke in 2023,” she writes, “which may have affected important relationships as both the Rabbit and the Bird are Peach Blossom stars.”
The Bird is the Dragon’s “secret friend,” a unique dynamic that can be especially beneficial since the Bird “is now the most favored sign of the zodiac.” But the Dragon isn’t your only friend!
Iskandar predicts that “everyone will want to be your friend” in 2024. As a Yin Metal sign, she explains how the Bird “loves being the center of attention.”
Elsewhere in her prediction, Iskandar writes that “sacrifices” made in 2023 are likely to “pay off in the next two years” because of you’ll have the support of your ally, the Snake, in 2025.
But don’t put all the work on your ally, as Iskandar emphasizes you should “use your sharp mind and laser-like focus to design the life you envision.” Plus, she points out the additional support from the Heaven and Earth, presenting “many opportunities to make your mark.”
Use this year to “take advantage of this great momentum and be proactive in collaborating with your allies,” writes Iskandar. “Align your dreams and visions with the right actions and doors will keep opening for you.”

Dog (1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018)
For those born in the year of the Dog, big changes are near! “The Dog has enjoyed growth and plenty of support in the past two years as an ally of the Tiger and secret friend of the Rabbit,” writes Iskandar.
Now, Dogs can expect a “transformative” and “pivotal” year, according to Iskandar’s predictions. This is in part due to the Dog being opposite the Dragon, which can be why you feel like you’re at a “crossroads in one or more aspects of life.”
In order to combat this, Iskandar suggests “initiating your own changes instead of fighting them.” She also notes that the Dragon and Dog are both Yang Earth signs, so to “be mindful in your movements and keep a high awareness of your surroundings.”
With star 4 of studies visiting the Northwest sector where the Dog resides in the Bagua map, Iskandar notes “there may be opportunities to further your studies.” Furthermore, there may be opportunity if you’re looking for love.
“Those who are single may date more during the year as star 4 is also a star of romance and seduction,” writes Iskandar. However, she stresses the important to “practice discernment if you’re already partnered as the star can also cause affairs.”

However, Iskandar notes that you may “start feeling some growing pressures on the work front.” That means, this is a year “to solidify your position” now!
Why? Because Iskandar predicts the Snake will “oppose your sign” in 2025, which she explains can bring “once-in-a-lifetime opportunities as well as challenges to overcome.”
A helpful suggestion is to “visualize where you’d like to be in 2025 and start taking the steps to get there in this year of the Dragon,” writes Iskandar. “As a travel star, the Pig thrives in a fast-paced environment and is comfortable with change.”

RABBIT 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Wealth: A lack of auspicious stars means you have to cultivate better decision-making abilities, control impulsiveness and learn to collaborate with others to stay ahead.
Career: You may develop anxiety due to pressure associated with unfamiliar environments. You might be contemplating changing jobs, transitioning to a new work environment, pursuing studies in a different place, or relocating to an unfamiliar area.
Relationship: Effective emotional management is crucial in new environments. Improper handling of emotions can negatively impact your interpersonal relationships, especially in your romantic life.
Health: You may be bothered by health issues due to minor illnesses such as colds. Engage in consistent physical exercise to help prevent other health problems and maintain regular meal times.
DRAGON 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Wealth: If there are joyful events like marriage, childbirth, property acquisition or starting a business to counteract the impact of Taisui, the fortune for the coming year will be more stable. Additionally, hosting small gatherings or parties can help enhance your luck.
Career: Smooth career development, outstanding work performance and recognition of one’s talents by superiors. Exceptional artistic inspiration and talent, especially beneficial for those involved in creative fields (design, writing, etc.).
Relationship: Excessive self-promotion may arouse envy. Try to avoid confrontations as rivalry and conflicts of interest may lead to disputes. Exercising patience in all matters is essential to avoid impulsive actions that could negatively affect your fortune.
Health: Pay extra attention to your personal health as there is an increased likelihood of work-related injuries and accidents, especially for those who operate machinery. Attend celebra-tions such as weddings and birth-day parties to boost your luck. Avoid places with negative energy.
It’s the best time for relationships for the Snake, especially if you’re single. For those in relationships, use the right love language.
HORSE 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014
It may be a more difficult year than most for the Horse, with some frustrations and obstacles, but practice resilience. And express gratitude for support from others. There is threat of injuries, so be careful. You can wear a health medallion to help dispel some of the sickness energies.
GOAT 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015
A lot of your luck will come from the females in your life— family members or female associates. If you have an important meeting, do it during dinner time as there are more chances of getting the outcome you want. You will find good opportunities from new connections, so it’s good to network and get yourselves out there. But don’t spread yourself too thin. Just have the right level of entanglement—don’t be a “Marites.”
MONKEY 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016
The Monkey has the achievement star. Take an inventory of what worked well in the past and what you can improve on. Focus on the long term. There’s a nuisance star, so avoid escalations.
ROOSTER 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017
DOG 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018
The Dog is in direct conflict with the Dragon, but a Dog can counter the bad juju by doing good deeds and giving to charity. Watch out for expenses so you don’t deplete your resources.
PIG 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019
It’s a good year for expansion if you’re in business. Set goals to meet new people. Be careful about losing things, which causes inconvenience.
“Luck is about all the stars and the interactions of these energies,” Fernandez said. “But a big part also has to do with effort. So the good thing here is, our luck is not just predetermined by the stars. We know what’s going to happen, like the weather. But what do we do about it is sometimes equally or even more important.”
