Eastern Horoscope for 2024
Oculus Archive. First published on 21.12.2023.
On February 10, 2024, the year of the green wooden dragon will begin, and the year of the black water rabbit will come to an end.
The indecisive rabbit belongs to the triangle of initiators of change, and because of its caution, diplomacy, and adaptability, it was inclined to change its decision often. In 2023, the rabbit was oriented more toward popular decisions and always depended on the opinions of others.
The coming year of the dragon is the complete opposite: it is a year of Yang action; the wood element tells us that the year will be fruitful and oriented toward growth. From the black ash soaked with water in 2023, the first shoots of green trees will begin to break through in 2024. The transition from 2023 to 2024 can be compared to the boundary between death and life. Death destroys the old, but at the same time frees space for the new. And it is precisely this new thing that awaits us in 2024.
The year will be rich in innovative decisions; this is a good year to start a new business or reform an old one. The year is fortunate for those born in the year of the dragon, rat, and monkey, as they form the triangle of Creators. And it is unfortunate for the triangle of protectors, formed by the tiger, dog, and horse.
The rat loves wealth and comfort; the monkey is an adventurer and likes to play only by its own rules. This year there is no place for rebellious tigers, impatient horses, and dogs thirsting for justice.
The dragon lives by strict rules of business and competition; spirituality and emotionality are not about him. Winners are not judged. The end justifies the means. Be ready to adapt to the dragon's current, otherwise you will be thrown to the roadside.
Global political rhetoric will change from "let's make things better for everyone" to the banal "if something does not generate profit and does not show growth, we get rid of it."
Issues of ecology, animal protection, women's rights, human rights, and so on will move into the background. The whole world will seem to wake from sleep and run to work, building a great future. And it is right, because 2024 will lay the foundation for the next 12-year cycle.
Authoritarianism and authority are the main tendencies of the year. The dragon is a leader; as he says, so it will be. This is the strongest combination, and it is necessary so that the sprout can break through the soil. All changes will be explosive and rapid at the beginning, and then will grow gradually.
This year will shock us constantly. It is clear that rises do not happen without falls; such rapid and explosive growth often leads to miscalculations and, instead of a solid foundation, leads to epic failures.
The dragon is magnanimous and ready to come to help when his power is absolute and victory is indisputable. The dragon rewards his devoted admirers for obedience, diligence, and reliability. The dragon is also favorable to two-faced sycophants, flatterers, and toadies. But he does not tolerate open meanness, blatant rudeness, or hypocrisy.
For all his arrogance, the dragon is selfless and open; he gives himself completely, without reserve, to the cause he believes in. Faith in success will be the driving force in 2024. If you do not believe, do not begin any movement this year. It is not suited to slow, uncertain steps; this is a year of heroes and winners. A year of glory and honors.
But when there are heroes there must also be antiheroes; when there are winners, there are also losers. Caution, though not inherent in the dragon, is inherent in many other signs. Be careful when taking the side of the winners.
I wish you success, new victories, and glory in this new year!
