Purist’s dedication to wellness aligns perfectly with the BaZi Chinese astrology’s focus for 2024 on self-care, connecting with your tribe and seeking beauty in the world.
February 4, 2024, launched the transition to the Lunar New Year of the Jia Chen or Wood Dragon, according to the Chinese solar calendar. The new year holds what you intend it to be. The yearly energy supports finding your tribe. When everything else falls apart, it will be your strong community that helps raise your frequency to help us vibrate at a higher frequency.
The Wood Dragon is also the year of transformation and growth: professionally, financially, emotionally and spiritually. Everyone will be blessed with new inspirations and self-confidence. With a strong spiritual aspect to your life in 2024, you will thrive.
Affirmation: “I want to be the beauty in the world today.”
There are 12 animal signs aligned with constellations similar to zodiac signs in Western astrology. Inside each animal exist star patterns (in Western astrology these are called planets; there is no word for planet in Chinese) making over 13 million variations. The stars are what guide us yearly on our journey. You could have up to four different animal signs in your chart—not just your year.
Fun fact: Did you know that during ancient times, Chinese sages and astrologers chose to use farm animals and mythical creatures to represent astrological star patterns? This made it easier to identify the stars and constellations for the population, which was mostly peasants and farmers, and education was for the elite.
Astrology doesn’t determine your fate. Your actions do.
Animal signs represent the energies available.
