Chinese astrology: The Year of the Dragon
According to the Chinese zodiac, every birth year is assigned one of 12 animals, each of which will contribute to determining your baby’s personality and fortune.
The dragon is the fifth animal in the Chinese zodiac and the only mythical creature to make the list, which means dragon-babies are considered truly unique.
Babies arriving between February 10, 2024 and January 28, 2025 are considered to be born under the lunar Year of the Dragon and are deemed very lucky indeed. In fact, to capture all the fortune that is bestowed up on those born under the sign of the dragon, a baby boom is often associated with this very blessed year. If you miss out this time, you’ll need to wait another 12 years!
Those born in the year of the dragon tend to be charismatic, intelligent, confident, powerful and they are naturally lucky and gifted. They’re famous for their high standards and reaching the top of their fields. Some famous dragons that prove this point are John Lennon, Bruce Lee, Rihanna and Adele.
