Well, well, well, let’s talk about this Chinese zodiac calendar 2024 thing. I heard some folks talking ’bout it down at the market. It’s that thing they use over in China, you know? They got animals for each year, not like our regular calendar.
This year, 2024, I reckon it’s the year of the Dragon. Big, fire-breathing dragon! That’s what they say. It starts in February, I think the 10th and goes all the way to January 28 next year. They call it Jia Chen Year, whatever that means. Sounds kinda fancy, don’t it?
Now, that lunar calendar, that’s the big cheese in this whole thing. It’s how they figure out these animal years. It’s all tied to the moon, you see. Don’t ask me how, I just know it is. It’s how they know when it’s the Dragon’s turn or the rabbit’s or the snake’s. That’s the core of it.
They say this Dragon year, this 2024, is gonna be somethin’ else. They say it’s a Wood Dragon. Wood and dragon, sounds strong, like a big ol’ tree. They talkin’ about good changes, you know, things gettin’ better, movin’ forward. Sounds good to me, we could all use some of that, I reckon.
And get this, they even got lucky days for each animal! Can you believe it? It’s all tied to some old book they got, the I Ching. Don’t know much about that, but they say it tells your fortune. Like this month, December, they say it’s all about Thunder over Mountain and Heaven. Sounds powerful, don’t it? I guess it means somethin’ different for each animal sign, but hey, who am I to say?
Now, they say some animals are gonna be luckier than others this year. That’s how it always is, ain’t it? Some folks get all the breaks. This year, it’s those Monkeys, Roosters, and Pigs that are gonna be rollin’ in clover. Seems like they’re gonna have a real good year. Good for them, I say.
- Monkeys
- Roosters
- Pigs
Then there’s the Ox, the Rabbits, the Goats, and the Dogs, they’re gonna have some luck too, just not as much as the others. Still, better than nothin’, right? It’s like findin’ a few extra coins in your pocket. Always a nice surprise.
And if you was born in a Dragon year, they say you should wear yellow. Bright, sunny yellow. They say it brings good luck and money. And blue, put some blue around the house. Maybe some blue flowers, those are pretty.
- Wear yellow
- Decorate with blue
Gold is a big deal too, I hear. They say it’s lucky, like the sun. Means you’re gonna be successful, rich, and important. Everyone wants a little gold in their life, don’t they? Maybe I’ll get me a little gold somethin’, just in case. Can’t hurt, right?
This whole Chinese zodiac calendar 2024, it’s a lot to take in. But it’s interestin’, ain’t it? Different ways of lookin’ at the world. I may not understand all of it, but I like the idea of things gettin’ better, of good luck comin’ your way. We could all use a little bit of that, especially these days.
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about this Chinese zodiac calendar 2024. It’s the year of the Wood Dragon, a time for change and good fortune, especially if you’re a Monkey, Rooster, or Pig. And don’t forget your yellow and blue! May you have a good year, full of luck and happiness. That’s all this old gal has to say about that.
