\"pcy7kzvvpyeqjdqx8iesmpxxmt5lfgdo2wnldqmwkwyhd8lk.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"This February will see in the Chinese New Year on Saturday 10th in fact! 2024 is the year of the Wood Dragon too, which is all about expansion, abundance & opportunity, so things are already looking bright!<\/p>

Chinese tradition follows aspects of the natural environment & has a strong belief in energy based ideas. For instance, the 4 directions are assigned Earth elements water, fire, wood, metal. The life force we all carry is known as \u201cChi\u201d as in Tai Chi which is an extremely beneficial practice (or martial art) which allows our bodies to work the way they should by keeping our joints & muscles supple, allowing our Chi to flow freely. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes in preventing disease\/illness instead of treating it.<\/p>

\"5nbumleiwjy1gnbiy97wzemoaiut1l9otbcxkqygz70zqlul.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"How is Chinese New Year cecelebrated? Well for 2 weeks, festivals will be held all over China with amazing foods, firecrackers, lanterns, costume parades including the famous Chinese Dragon & a phenomenal amount of colour. Look around for festivals in your area to enjoy celebrations.<\/p>

\"assoti2mii7b9doqpnbkkcpvc9rqxgohoxuxaqxsju7ediwj.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"Of course, a large part of Chinese New Year involves Chinese Astrology & welcoming in the new animal. As said, 2024 is the year of the Wood Dragon & promises to bring prosperity & growth for everyone!<\/p>

People born in the Year of the Dragon are generally considered ambitious, adventurous, kind (according to the dragon legend where the dragon slipped to 5th place in a race because it doubled back to help people in need ) & visionary. You can find out more about Chinese Astrology HERE<\/a><\/p>

You are a dragon if you were born in 2024, 2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952, as it has a 12 year cycle.<\/p>

The element of Wood is seen to represent growth & calmness, so also fares well for 2024.<\/p>
