Chinese New Year could spell good news for you in 2024 amid year of the dragon
The Year of the Dragon has officially begun - and it's good news for some people.
Chinese New Year is upon us, with festivities beginning today (February 10) to welcome the year of the dragon. The two-week festival marks the start of a new Lunar Year, and it also sees a new animal in the Chinese zodiac that is appointed to oversee the next 12 months. This means babies born in 2024 will be born under the year of the dragon, and depending on what year you were born, you also have an animal assigned as your Chinese zodiac too.
But as the year of the dragon gets underway, what does it signify, and will it bring good news? Chinese astrologist and Feng Shui consultant Janine Lowe has claimed 2024 will be a year of change for many and said that while this can mean a "rollercoaster" 12 months, it can also signal plenty of new opportunities.
What does the Year of the Dragon for others with the same Chinese zodiac?
There are 12 Chinese zodiac animals that rotate yearly, meaning each animal reappears every 12 years. This means that as well as babies born in 2024, those born in 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 and 2012 were also born under the Year of the Dragon and have the mythical beast as their Chinese zodiac.
And it's good news if that's you, as this year is looking like a good year for you, according to Lowe. The astrology expert told the Independent that often when people are born in the same year as the current animal it can be "conflictual", but that isn't the case in 2024, as dragons have "this amazing power to be entrepreneurial and creative".

Those born in the Year of the Dragon may find themselves becoming a "sage for their friends" this year, and there's even a good chance of them "gaining wealth" or seeing their wealth "expand" over the next 12 months. This wealth does come with a caveat, however, as Lowe warned: "As long as they focus now on exactly what they want out of the year, there's no point in dilly-dallying around it, they need to know what they want out of the year."
This year is not marked as a year of love for the dragon, so if you're single, don't expect to find your Prince Charming in time for Valentine's Day. However, Lowe stated there "may be a chance" for people born in the year of the dragon to spark up a new romance later in the year.
What does this year mean for those not born under the dragon?
With 11 other signs of the Chinese zodiac, there's a huge chance that you weren't born in the Year of the Dragon. So what does this year mean for you?
Well, unfortunately, it seems like it's bad news for those born in the Year of the Dog. Lowe said it will be a conflicting year for those born in 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, or 2018, as "literally every part of their lives" is going to change. The expert did indicate that "positive changes" are also on the way for you, but you might want to prepare for a big shake-up before then.
Other zodiacs should have an easier time, apparently, with rats (1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, etc) experiencing "growth in their careers", and tigers (1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, etc) being given the chance to "indulge in their love of adventures". There could be new love interests on the horizon for snakes (1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, etc), while monkeys (1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, etc) will benefit from good health and happiness.
Rabbits (1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, etc) will need to learn to adapt to change this year, and those born under the year of the ox (1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, etc) will also face challenges where they might need to rely on others around them for help. Goats (1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, etc) will "be faced with decisions this year", while horses (1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, etc) should "take up new opportunities" that are presented to them, and pigs (1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, etc) will have a busy year as the "supporters of the year" both at home and at work.
Finally, roosters (1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, etc) should befriend a dragon this year to make 2024 less tumultuous. Lowe said: "Roosters are the secret friend of the dragon and, because it's going to be a bit of a rollercoaster year for everybody, my advice is to hang onto the dragon's tails and go with the year."
