I’m somewhat superstitious. Just a little bit, and I try to see/create only the “good” omens. I also do believe in the universe and magic (and so much more, but let me stop here), as well as confirmation bias and frequency illusion. Thus, I hate horoscopes. If the universe is limitless, and you learn about ONE path of the many available to you – are you not at risk of constraining your view and thinking regarding all your opportunities ahead?
I remember reading my Chinese horoscope in Jan 2020 while on a beautiful staycation in Singapore, just before the pandemic started. The year of the Metal Rat did not foresee fun things for me: health challenges, financial instability, sad relationships. Fast forward, 2020 was just spectacular. Thanks to Covid, I could work out every morning, see only the people I wanted to see, work from anywhere, and enjoy life. Still, it took me about six months to stop worrying and forget this mean and nasty horoscope. I have not read Chinese horoscopes since.
I want to spare you that experience. Here is your very special horoscope, which unites Asian and Occidental wisdom and some wild imagination. For you only, with love.

The Year of the Wood Dragon
No matter your zodiac, this year will be on fire. The dragon is always ready to ignite you. You will achieve personal, social and professional heights you could not even dream of. You will fly on the dragon’s back higher and higher, exploring along the way and landing safely at your chosen destination. The wood dragon fuels the fire with a never-ending supply of internal wood; like a perpetual motion machine, the dragon will never run out of energy. The dragon only needs your imagination, commitment, and good human nature (the Ten Commandments or the concept of karma or similar (as relevant for your belief system) are a good start).
Now, let’s dive deeper into the details. Channelling 12 horoscopes is quite an effort, so let’s simplify and classify things like a good consultant would. Here comes earth vs water vs other.
All earth zodiacs (Capricorn, Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio)
You will experience tremendous luck, and opportunities will await at every corner. You do need to open your eyes and act, though; this is not “The Secret” with “ask and receive”. It’s life.
Career: If you like your current profession, continue developing your craft, and you will be rewarded. If you ask yourself each day why you’re still going to work, take the chance to search and find the profession that will fulfil you and give meaning to your 40+ hours/week spent on it. Everything will work out.
Health: Find and keep the motivation to go to the gym or work out outdoors. You will meet like-minded individuals and jointly achieve fitness and health levels that will make your GP marvel. Just trust the process and keep it up.
Relationships: The dragon will inspire you to make an effort and ‘upgrade’ your relationships. Show respect, appreciation and trust. Spend time with your loved ones, pick up the phone to connect with distant relatives and acquaintances, and make the conscious decision and effort to expand your circle of friends and network.
Should all the 2024 joy and fortune overwhelm you, try meditation, walking in nature, or just sleeping.

All water zodiacs (Aquarius, Pisces, Cancer)
This will be your year. Your theme for this year: “Love it, change it, or leave it”. The dragon will not accept any excuses and no explanations. If you are unsatisfied and not content, stop complaining and start acting.
Career: A year full of opportunities awaits. Take conscious, calculated risks—no improvement without change. Seek advice, but decide for yourself. It’s ok to change your mind as you learn and try; just avoid being stuck in the “deciding phase” and wasting your life.
Health: For the “standard” person, fitness and health should be rather straightforward. Pick a workout you enjoy (or make it more enjoyable – how about your favourite podcast/music during the workout), mix it up to create balance (cardio, strength, mobility), and just do it. Same for nutrition: eat the rainbow, prioritize “original” food (it’s nice when you recognize what your food is made of), and balance.
Relationships: Review your relationships and network: does the engagement add energy or drain you? Once you have created space, make an extra effort to take your positive energy balance relationships to the next level and add more such positive individuals to your circle.
Your peace ritual to cope with the fortune of 2024 could be a workout or music. If it does not help, try something else until you succeed.

All other zodiacs (Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius)
Please decide whether you identify as earth or water and then pick one of the above. In essence, they’re the same: appreciate and enjoy life, just do it (career, health, relationships), and the dragon will assist you!
Have an excellent 2024, everyone – life is magic, take advantage of it.
