Each new year, an animal is paired with a rotating element. This year, the element is wood, symbolizing growth, creativity, vitality, and flexibility. The Wood element is thought to bring a nurturing and supportive energy, according to China Highlights.

When combined with the Dragon, the Wood element is believed to temper some of the Dragon's fiery nature, according to Buddhist monk Tsem Rinpoche. It may add a sense of patience, thoughtfulness, and a more grounded approach to the Dragon's ambitious and dynamic nature. The last year of the Wood Dragon was 1964.

That said, the year is expected to be a time for thoughtful leadership and visionary projects. The traits of adaptability, growth and balance will be important for all. But 2024 won’t affect all the animal signs in the Chinese zodiac the same. Read on to learn how 2024 might affect your sign. Of course, they won’t all be so lucky.
