Year of the Dragon
The 2024 Lunar New Year officially starts on Saturday, February 10th. This year marks the era of the Wood Dragon, the 5th animal in the 12-cycle Chinese Zodiac. Dragons symbolize power, nobility, honor, luck and success. Those who are born on Dragon years are known to have natural courage, tenacity, intelligence and come off enthusiastic and confident.
