The Wood Dragon years, like 1964 and 2024, are incredibly rare. They only come around once every 60 years, bringing a special kind of energy. During these years, the potent influence of the Dragon harmonizes with the vital qualities of Wood.
With the Dragon symbolizing change and adaptation and the Wood element signifying expansion and renewal, 2024 promises to be dynamic and unpredictable. It will be a year to embrace transformation and personal growth.
