2024 Perpetual Calendar

Year of the Wood Dragon (Lunar Calendar)

In Eastern mythology, the dragon represents the Yang principle of the universe and symbolizes royal authority. Accordingly, dragons are present everywhere—underwater, on land, and in the air. The dragon is a symbol of water and a favorable sign for agriculture. People born in the year of the Dragon are honest, energetic, but also hot-tempered and stubborn. They are symbols of power, wealth, prosperity, and royalty.
