2024 is the Year of the Dragon in Chinese Astrology, an “8” year in Western Numerology and the “Strength” card in the Tarot.
The Dragon is unique because it is the only mythical creature of all the animals in the Chinese zodiac. In Chinese culture, the dragon represents good luck, strength, health and Yang (action) energy. If you were born in a Dragon Year (1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024), then it’s double the energy!
During the Year of the Dragon, Amethyst crystal (or bracelet, pendant, ring), is considered to bring good luck, success, and spiritual growth.
Amethyst’s calming energy is said to complement the energetic and dynamic nature during the Year of the Dragon. Wearing amethyst is thought to help you stay focused and balanced in your pursuits and find success in your personal and professional lives. It can promote wisdom and insight.
Citrine also compliments 2024 as it invokes action and attracts wealth, abundance, success, and prosperity into your life. It helps learn self-confidence, activates creativity and empowers. Citrine is a cleanser, motivator, regenerator and inspires joy and peace and happiness.
Ametrine, a quartz mixture of Amethyst and Citrine combines the healing powers of both.
NUMEROLOGY
As a collective, 2024 will be an “eight” year, since the digits of 2024 add up to eight (2+0+2+4=8).
The power of 2024 as an ‘action’ year is amplified by the number eight which holds key traits such as perseverance and ambition, leadership.
An eight-year is about building, doing and creating. It’s a great time to unlock your personal power; moving past obstacles, enjoying persistence – not a year to dream, but to make magic happen.
8 emphasizes reflection, introspection, analysis, intuition, planning, research, and faith. It is a time to tap into your true self and connect at a spiritual level.
TAROT
Eight is the Strength card in the Major Arcana. Often depicted as a gentle woman with her hand in the mouth of a lion. The imagery suggests that no matter how wild and dangerous the world may be, you can tame difficult situations and calm aggressive energies while maintaining your sense of integrity.
For 2024 and always, continue to be gentle with yourself and keep peace in your soul. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; take care of yourself and those you love.
Enjoy!
