Chinese New Year 2024: Year of the Wood Dragon forecasts per animal sign
MANILA, Philippines — Feng shui expert Marites Allen urged people to not only adopt new year’s resolutions for the Chinese Lunar New Year starting on February 10, but to also try to give up old habits and even old things in one’s wardrobe or homes.
In a statement sent by Kamuning Bakery, Allen said the Lunar New Year is celebrated by many Asians worldwide as an annual period for renewal, new plans and new positive attitude. She reminded people that the ancient Chinese tradition of spring cleaning should be done days before New Year’s Day or only up to February 9, new year’s eve, but that there shouldn’t be any cleaning done on the very first day of the new year.
Allen said that the ancient Chinese system of feng shui is “a science," stressing that it is not a religion and not superstition, just a guide to better life and well-being. She added that good feng shui is just one-third of one’s luck, the rest being God’s will and one’s own personal efforts. She explained that feng shui is an ancient guide for people on how to lead healthy, harmonious lifestyles, whether in the arrangements and designs of our homes, our sleeping areas, our work places, the choices of dates and times to undertake certain actions.
Here are Allen's forecasts for every animal sign for the Year of the Wood Dragon, as photographed from an ongoing exhibit in SM San Lazaro, Manila, in collaboration with SM Malls:
