The Year of the Dragon

Chinese lunar years are represented by 12 animal signs, whose ascendence determines the fortune and personality traits of those born that year.  2024 is the year of the Dragon, the only mythical creature of the zodiac. So, it represents good luck, strength, and health, and those born in these years are said to be confident, courageous, and enthusiastic. 

As each sign repeats every 12 years, previous Years of the Dragon were 2012, 2000, 1988, and so on.
