Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Approaching the new year, the Chinese zodiac has become a Chinese tradition that often appears annually in various countries. New Year 2024 will be the year of the Wood Dragon zodiac sign.
Reported by the South China Morning Post, in Chinese astrology, the Shio Dragon is a symbol of success, intelligence and honor. Meanwhile, the wooden dragon is full of energy and dreams of changing the world.
Therefore, they believe 2024 will be a special year and a source of good luck. However, the Year of the Wood Dragon can also be a very unlucky year for a number of zodiac signs.
Quoted from The Chinese Zodiac, the five zodiac signs will have their patience and endurance tested through a number of obstacles and challenges next year. Apart from that, these five zodiac signs also have the potential to experience difficult times throughout 2024.
Here are five zodiac signs that are predicted to be unlucky throughout 2024, aka the Year of the Wooden Dragon:
1. Shio Dog (born in 1934, 1946, 1958, 1979, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018)
According to Chinese astrology, the year of the Dragon is an unlucky year for those with the Chinese zodiac sign Dog. Because, Dragons and Dogs are considered incompatible because they have very different personalities.
Dragons are adventurous, brave, dominant, charismatic, optimistic and self-confident. Meanwhile, Dogs are loyal, careful, humble, cooperative, realistic and alert.
Apart from disagreements making it difficult to get along, these differences are also considered to trigger bad luck in terms of career, relationships, health and finances, especially in 2024.
“However, don't worry. You can still make the most of this year if you are careful and diligent,” wrote The Chinese Zodiac, quoted Thursday (28/12/2023).
2. Shio Dragon (born in 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012)
This prediction might make Dragon Shio owners question why they are on the unlucky list throughout 2024.
According to The Chinese Zodiac, 2024, which is the Year of the Dragon, means “Ben Ming Nian” or “Year of your Zodiac”. Even though it sounds good, it turns out that this is a source of problems for Chinese culture.
According to Chinese astrology, each year is ruled by the god Tai Sui. Tai Sui is a God who oversees the fate and fortunes of all living things in the universe. Every year Tai Sui changes, tends to be very sensitive, and easily offended by people who have the same zodiac sign.
“So, if you have the Dragon zodiac sign, you will “offend” the God Tai Sui in 2024. As a result, you will experience bad luck, misfortune and accidents,” wrote The Chinese Zodiac.
Not only that, the owner of the Zodiac Dragon is also predicted to experience conflicts with family, friends or colleagues, health problems, financial losses or career setbacks.
Therefore, Dragon Shio owners are advised to take several “preventative” and “treatment” measures to appease God Tai Sui, namely using red clothes, scarves, hats, belts or bracelets.
“Red is a lucky color in Chinese culture and can ward off evil spirits and negative energy. You can also carry a jade pendant or amulet with your zodiac sign that can protect against danger and attract good luck,” suggests The Chinese Zodiac.
3. Shio Ox (born in 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009)
2024 is a year full of challenges for people born in the year of the Ox. According to The Chinese Zodiac, this is a year of transformation, a year of drastically changing old patterns, and creating new ones.
Throughout the Year of the Wood Dragon, owners of the Ox zodiac will face many obstacles and difficulties, such as conflicts, setbacks and obstacles in business, especially for people born in 1973.
This misfortune occurred because the Shio Ox had to face the opposing influence of Tai Sui this year. Therefore, the owner of the Ox zodiac must be patient, flexible and easy to adapt throughout this year.
Even though it has been hit by a lot of bad luck, 2024 is also a big opportunity for the Ox zodiac to grow and develop.
Throughout the year, Ox zodiac owners are even advised to evaluate themselves, let go of their ego, and focus on their goals and themselves. Apart from that, all negative energies and influences that are holding you back must also be released along with always accepting positive changes.
4. Shio Goat (born in 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015)
2024 is a year that requires the owner of the Goat Shio to be understanding and tolerant towards other people. In the Year of the Wood Dragon, owners of the Shio Goat are asked not to do things impulsively so that it doesn't backfire.
In this Year of the Wood Dragon, the Goat Shio must learn to be rational and calm in every situation. While living it, the owner of this zodiac may feel like the whole universe is against them. However, this is not true. Therefore, be patient until 2024 ends.
5. Tiger zodiac (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010)
Similar to the Dragon and the Ox, the Tiger zodiac sign will also “clash” with the God Tai Sui so that he will face many problems, bad luck and obstacles, especially for his career.
Throughout the Year of the Wood Dragon, Tigers will find several people trying to put them down. Apart from that, intuition will be a “main asset” in facing difficult circumstances.
“Try to be realistic by living in the present. The past and future do not help you. Try to believe more in your inner strength,” said The Chinese Zodiac.
“Don't make risky financial investments. Always be careful and don't trust anyone easily,” the article continued.
