The year of the Wood Dragon is coming, and it’s going to be a wild ride for some of the Chinese zodiac signs. While some animals will enjoy good fortune and luck, others will have to face obstacles and challenges that will test their patience and resilience.
Do you want to know if you are one of the unlucky ones, and how you can turn your luck around? In this article, we will reveal the five animal signs that are most likely to have a tough time in 2024, and give you some advice on how to cope with them.
These zodiac signs might face bad luck in the Year of the Wooden Dragon:
1. Dog
If you are a Dog, you might want to brace yourself for 2024. According to Chinese astrology, the year of the Dragon is not very favorable for you. Why is that? Well, the Dragon and the Dog are considered to be incompatible signs, as they have very different personalities and values.
The Dragon is adventurous and daring, while the Dog is loyal and cautious. The Dragon is charismatic and dominant, while the Dog is humble and cooperative. The Dragon is optimistic and confident, while the Dog is realistic and vigilant. These differences can cause clashes and misunderstandings between them, making it hard for them to get along.
As a result, you may encounter some obstacles and difficulties in your career, relationships, health, and finances in 2024. But don’t worry, you can still make the most of this year if you are careful and diligent. Here are some tips on how to survive and thrive in 2024 as a Dog.
2. Dragon
If you are born in the year of the Dragon, you might be wondering what the upcoming year has in store for you. Well, the answer is not so simple. You see, 2024 is the year of the Dragon, which means it is also your Ben Ming Nian 本命年, or your zodiac year. This sounds like a good thing, right? After all, who wouldn’t want to share their year with such a powerful and majestic creature? But in Chinese culture, Ben Ming Nian is not a cause for celebration, but rather a source of potential trouble. Why is that? Let me explain.
According to Chinese astrology, each year is governed by a deity called Tai Sui 太岁, who oversees the fate and fortune of all living beings. Tai Sui changes every year, and he is very sensitive and easily offended by those who share his zodiac sign. So, if you are a Dragon person, you are “offending” Tai Sui in 2024, and this can bring you bad luck, misfortune and accidents. You might face conflicts with your family, friends or colleagues, health issues, financial losses or career setbacks. To avoid these troubles, you need to take some precautions and remedies.
One of the most common and effective ways to appease Tai Sui is to wear red clothes or accessories, such as a scarf, a hat, a belt or a bracelet. Red is a lucky color in Chinese culture, and it can ward off evil spirits and negative energy. You can also carry a jade pendant or amulet with your zodiac sign, which can protect you from harm and attract good luck.
Besides the Dragon, 3 more animal signs below may also face potential conflicts with Tai Sui:
3. Ox
The Year of the Dragon 2024 is a challenging year for those born in the year of the Ox. It is a year of transformation, a year of breaking old patterns and creating new ones.
You will face many obstacles and difficulties, especially if you were born in 1973. You will have to deal with the influence of Tai Sui, the Grand Duke Jupiter, who opposes your sign this year. This means you will encounter conflicts, setbacks, and stagnation in your endeavors. You will need to be patient, flexible, and adaptable to overcome these challenges.
However, this is also a great opportunity for you to grow and evolve. You will have to examine yourself deeply and honestly, and see what aspects of your personality, behavior, and communication need improvement. You will have to let go of your ego and your need for attention, and focus on your inner self and your true purpose. You will have to release all the negative energy and influences that are holding you back, and embrace positive changes that will benefit you in the long run.
This is not an easy process, but it is a necessary one. You are preparing yourself for a better future, a future that will bring you happiness and prosperity in the Year of the Snake 2025. Trust in the wisdom of the universe, and follow the guidance of feng shui to harmonize your environment and your energy. Remember that every challenge is an opportunity for growth, and every change is a chance for renewal.
4. Goat
Dear Goats, 2024 is a year that requires you to be understanding and tolerant of others. You may encounter many people who make you uncomfortable or irritate you. They may be nervous, fake, or aggressive, and they may try to hinder your progress. You may feel like reacting impulsively when things don’t go your way, but this will only backfire on you.
In this Year of the Wood Dragon, you must learn to be rational and calm in every situation. You may feel like the whole universe is against you, but this is not true. Give more patience and attention to those around you, for you are not the only one facing difficulties.
If you can realize that the world doesn’t revolve around you, you will be able to overcome all the challenges that 2024 has in store for you!
5. Tiger
If you are born in the Year of the Tiger, you need to prepare yourself for the challenges that await you in the second half of 2024! The clash with Tai Sui will bring a lot of trouble and obstacles to your career and projects. You will find that some people you didn’t expect will act in ways that are meant to undermine you.
As you have noticed, your intuition is a great asset when things get tough. Try to stay more grounded, live in the present as much as possible this year. The past and the future are not helpful to you. Trust your inner strength more. Don’t make risky financial investments, but follow one of the main traits of the fellow Rabbit: caution. Don’t trust anyone until they show you that they have no ill intentions and postpone your future plans.
Conclusion
As a feng shui master, I shared with you my insights on the Year of the Wood Dragon in 2024, which affects each Chinese zodiac sign differently.
Dogs should be careful and cautious, as they have a clash with the Dragon, the ruler of the year. Dragons should also be vigilant, as they may face some obstacles in their own zodiac year. Oxen have a year of change and transformation, which requires them to be patient and self-reflective.
Goats should cultivate a more tolerant and compassionate attitude, as they may encounter some conflicts or misunderstandings. Tigers have to be strong and resilient, as they may face some challenges or setbacks. However, I also want to remind you that each sign has the potential to grow and improve themselves by overcoming the difficulties. The Year of the Wood Dragon is a year of renewal and rebirth, which offers you the chance to start afresh and pursue your goals.
