Year of the Dragon

With the Year of the Dragon just around the corner, let’s take a moment to dive into the legendary significance this mythical creature holds within the Chinese zodiac.

In the age-old tales, when the Jade Emperor summoned all the animals to name the zodiac signs, the Dragon made its entrance as the fifth in line, but this wasn’t by chance… there’s a story behind it.

The Dragon, endowed with incredible speed and power, could have easily arrived first, but it opted for an alternative route. Along this detour, it stumbled upon a village in distress and displaying its selfless nature, it brought rain to put out a fire that was destroying their homes; this act, though delaying its arrival, showcased it’s noble character.

People born under the sign of the Dragon possess a captivating combination of confidence, independence, and idealism. They are wise, adventurous, and often exhibit charismatic leadership qualities.
With a strong sense of integrity, they reject dishonorable actions while drawing admiration through their vitality and strength.

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the upcoming year of 2024 will mark the Year of the Wood Dragon, commencing on February 10th, 2024, and concluding on January 28th, 2025.
