Year of the Dragon - Energy for each Animal Sign

Much like the astrology of the zodiac signs, the Chinese New Year begins on February 10th. Whether you follow the Chinese New Year or astrology zodiac signs, 2024 looks to be an auspicious year. We leave the year of the rabbit and enter the year of the Dragon. This one caught my eye as I've worked with Dragon Energy for many years. I've created numerous meditations that connect you with dragon energy, their colors, and energy sources.

The Dragon is a mythical creature that carries many beliefs.

• The Eastern perception is that the Dragon is a protector, representing luck, creativity, progress, wealth, change, and growth. You might be familiar with images or movie scenes where the Dragon sits upon mountains of gold coins.
• The Western perception is often about a fiery mythical creature that can bring destruction or even death. 

2024 is the year of the Green Wood dragon with additional energy of, leadership and strength. The Wood Dragon year combines the characteristics of the Dragon, known for its vitality and enthusiasm, with the attributes of the wood element, symbolizing abundance, growth, flexibility, and kindness. This combination suggests a year of dynamic growth, adaptability, and positive transformation. Some believe that the wood energy can weaken the earth's energy, causing more earth disasters and conflicts. 

The Green, wood dragon energy adds a layer of mystical nuance. Green is considered a mystic color. It combines yellow (the earth) and blue (the heavens). In my view, what the dragons have shared represents fertility, life, and death in creating newness of life. Much of Pluto's energy represents death, rebirth, and the opportunity to introduce new innovative successes as Pluto sits in Aquarius for the next 20 years.
