As we usher in the Dragon year, marked by the vibrant energy of Yang Wood, we find ourselves transitioning from the introspective Yin Water Rabbit year of 2023. The dynamic and outward-focused nature of Yang Wood stands in stark contrast to the passive and receptive energy associated with the preceding year. Yin years are often regarded as periods for reflection, planning, and inner growth, while the Dragon year propels us into a realm of activity and expansion.
In ancient Chinese culture, the dragon held profound sacred significance, symbolizing power and authority. The esteemed title of ‘Dragon’ bestowed upon past Chinese Emperors underscores its symbolic importance. Serving as a bridge between the spiritual and earthly realms, the dragon’s influence extends beyond imperial power, permeating various aspects of life and geographical configurations.
Yang Wood, aligned with creativity, vitality, and growth, mirrors the energy of a flourishing tree, reaching toward the sky with expanding branches. This energy is closely associated with the East direction, reminiscent of sunrise and the rejuvenating season of spring—a time synonymous with new beginnings and the promise of growth and opportunities.
While the Lunar Chinese New Year officially begins on February 10, it’s crucial to note that the Yang Wood Dragon ushers in its influence on February 4 at 4:27 pm. Only those born on or after this precise moment belong to the zodiac sign of the Yang Wood Dragon.
May this Dragon year bring forth the spirit of resilience, creativity, abundance, and growth opportunities.
