Dragon Chinese Horoscope

Into the second half of the month of the Pig and over the hump of the Full Moon that sits at the halfway point, you will be getting a feel for influence and of now to make the most of these final two weeks. With the month of the Pig ending at the end of next week, this gives you time to work with its focus on change and transformation, especially after the wakeup calls that the month of the Dog had brought. Knowing that that at the end of next week a New Moon on 1st December will usher in the adventurous month of the Rat, gives you time to prepare for a fresh start.
Year of the Dragon
Feb 10, 2024 - Jan 28, 2025
Welcome to the Year of the Dragon, the year that you have been waiting for and not just because this is when you get to embrace who you really are. As well as a chance to return to your native energy, this brings you to the start of a new personal 12-year lunar cycle, with an opportunity for major new beginnings and a fresh start. This is a chance to shake off the lethargy of the nostalgic and reflective Year of the Rabbit and its focus on completion, closure, and its slower pace. The Year of the Rabbit is not just the kind of tame and low-key year that doesn’t suit the Dragon’s nature but in the final year of a 12-year lunar cycle it has been about looking back, reflecting on the journey of the last 12 years and was a time of closure.

The Year of the Rabbit that has just come to an end was a particularly long year, with 13 New Moons meaning that this was a leap year, with 13 rather than the usual 12 lunar months. This dragged things out and made this a longer experience than is normally the case. You are more than ready to shake off some cobwebs and moving into the Year of the Dragon on 10th February, will be a chance to do just that. This is also something that doesn’t need to be rushed, with the year not coming into its full influence until you reach the month of the Dragon, which will run from 9th April to 8th May. While every lunar month begins on a New Moon, in fitting with the Year of the Dragon and the chance this brings for major new beginnings, it will begin on a total solar eclipse.

From the Chinese New Year on 10th February, this gives you two months to explore your options and test the waters, for when the month of the Dragon and Year of the Dragon come together, this is when you need to be ready to fully embrace the journey ahead. Other good months this year will be the playful and creative month of the Monkey from 4th August to 3rd September and the adventurous month of the Rat, from 1st December to 31st December. The Dragon, Rat and Monkey are all part of the same triad of affinity, with everything likely to flow more smoothly during these years. Meanwhile, the best months professionally will be during the busy, industrious, and work focused month of the Rooster from 3rd September to 3rd October and the competitive and professionally charged month of the Ox from 31st December 2024 to 29th December 2025.

You can also be dominant and short-tempered as well as ambitious and hard-working. You'll be best off if you avoid marriage until your later years

They are usually successful in careers. They have a tendency to be over-confident and arrogant. The Dragon is a prosperous sign but they often spend money as fast as they make it.
