What animal will symbolize the New Year 2024?

2024 will be the year of the Green Wooden Dragon according to the Chinese calendar. This symbol is considered the most powerful in Chinese astrology, representing energy, strength, and power. 

Even though dragons can be dangerous, the Wooden Dragon is characterized by flexibility and the ability to adapt to a wide variety of conditions. 

Thus, 2024 may be a challenge, but with additional strength to overcome difficulties.

Disappointment cannot be avoided entirely, especially due to the presence of frivolous people in your life. Therefore, it is better to avoid meetings and personal relationships with such people.

What colors will bring good luck and success in 2024?

Let's pay attention to the colors that will bring good luck in 2024. The green color, symbolizing the flowering of nature and the energetic beginning of a new life, will be especially beneficial.

The New Year's Eve celebration in Ukraine will take place on the night of December 31, 2023 to January 1, 2024. According to the Eastern calendar, the Year of the Dragon will begin on February 10, 2024 and end on January 28, 2025. 

Remember that the full cycle of the Eastern calendar is 60 years, so the symbols are repeated only once in sixty years. Thus, the previous year of the Green Wooden Dragon was 1964, and the next year will be 2084.

How to prepare for the celebration of the New Year 2024?

Preparation for the Year of the Green Wooden Dragon should be special. Avoiding routine and mundanity, create a festive inner mood and emotional state.

Decorate your house or apartment in a bright and festive way, using shiny decorations and wooden toys, especially a Dragon figurine on the Christmas tree. 

Preparing a variety of dishes for the festive table will also be an important step. The Dragon prefers simplicity, so you should choose dishes made from cereals, apples, and fresh herbs.

Don't forget about your festive outfit, which should be special and sparkling with a variety of accessories such as brooches, necklaces, beads, and earrings.
