The vibrant celebration of the Chinese New Year is full of excitement, and especially so when entering the year of the all-powerful dragon!
In western culture, dragons are often thought of as fire-breathing menaces that attack humans.
However, in Chinese culture, the dragon holds an esteemed position. It is a symbol of power, vigor, fortune, and wisdom. Viewed as a celestial and heavenly entity, the Chinese dragon governs natural elements such as the wind and water, and they symbolize connection, transformation, freedom.
As we step into the Year of the Dragon, there's an air of optimism and anticipation of unrivaled opportunities and thrilling advancements for everyone. The dragon represents making good choices for your future during a crucial time or situation, making 2024 a great time to make an important decision! Especially those born under the dragon sign, known for their inventive mindset and questioning nature, often excel in their career endeavors.
Endowed with an inherent sense of courage, persistence, and intelligence, Dragons radiate enthusiasm and confidence like no other. They don't shy away from challenges and are ever-ready to take risks. These traits help them to break free from conventional norms, illuminating the path towards a promising future.
So, let's seize the opportunities presented in the year of the Green Wood Dragon! It invites us to maintain momentum and remain active. The wood element is tied to our liver and gallbladder, which both are associated with the growth and vigor of the spring season.

From a health perspective, stay on the move! Just like dragons crave exercise, we should too. Whether it's a morning jog, a calming yoga session, or a rejuvenating walk amidst nature, keeping our bodies active is key to maintaining emotional balance and warding off fatigue. Regular sleep and meal patterns are imperative to steer clear of digestive ailments.
On a psychological level, let’s have an honest look at our emotional closets. Can we make space for positive energy? Letting go of past resentments will benefit our mental, emotional and physical health. Just like wood needs to grow, so can our internal wood energy help us in moving past stagnations.
Finally, when it comes to nutrition, the mantra is to go green. Add more vegetables, any leafy greens, asparagus, broccoli and leeks to your diet. Incorporate sour and fermented food items, apple cider vinegar, fish, or try liver and bone broth.
Being conscious of your physical and mental health is the best way to staying prepared for whatever the dragon year throws our way.
