Photo by 順平 黃
As 2023 comes to a close and we move into the year of the dragon, we would like to invite you to take a close look at how each of Chinese zodiac animals relates to the dragon. Each of the zodiac animals has a special and unique relationship to the year animal, and just like with a weather forecast, it's helpful to understand the relationship so you can navigate the year with as much ease as possible.
Together with Katie Hess of LOTUSWEI we have created a 2024 Chinese astrology forecast, paired with a plant ally for each zodiac animal for this Dragon year, so that whatever your zodiac sign, you can navigate the new year with as much clarity and wisdom as possible. We’ve been collaborating with Katie annually since 2020 to chat about each zodiac animal and their flower ally. Listen to the podcast episode HERE.
Below we’ve listed what to expect in 2024 and their flower ally.
*Please note, if your birthday is between Jan 1st and Feb 4th, your zodiac animal is the preceding year.
