Tibetan Horoscope 2024: Year of the Wood Dragon
Introduction
This book consists of three sections.
– The first section, "Important preliminary information", briefly explains all the basic information on Tibetan astrology necessary for a correct understanding of the horoscope.
– The second section has an answer to the question "How to identify your Animal and your Element?". In this section, you will find a list where you can find your animal and your element by the date of your birth. There are 60 Element-Animal pairs in total and each pair is provided with an individual horoscope for the year 2024 of the Wood-Dragon. All 60 horoscopes are in the third section of the book.
– The third section contains the "Forecast for 2024". There is a general forecast for the year for everyone. Pay special attention to general recommendations and tips. There are brief characteristics of each of the 12 zodiac animals from Rat to Pig, and there are also forecasts for 2024 for all animals of all elements, that is, 60 unique horoscopes.
For example, if you have found out (in the second section) that your Animal and your Element are Rat and Metal, then you can read the general description of the Rat and after that – your personal (Rat-Metal) forecast for 2024.
In Tibetan astrology, a 60-year cycle is used, which means that the forecast for the year is repeated every 60 years. Therefore, this book will be useful to you and your descendants in 2084, 2144, 2204, 2264, and subsequent years :)
Important Preliminary Information
Tibetan Astrology
Tibetan astrology consists of two large interrelated sections – "black" and "white". This duality is due to the geographical location of Tibet, its borders with China and India. "Black astrology", or astrology of the elements, developed in close connection with China. "White astrology", or astrology of the stars, developed under the influence of Indian teachings.
The Tibetan horoscope for 2024, presented in this book, is based on the astrology of the elements. To get the most out of the horoscope, you need to know three concepts of Tibetan astrology, briefly discussed in this Chapter:
– the 5 Elements,
– the 12 Animals,
– the 5 personal forces.
The Sixty-Year Cycle
The Tibetan calendar is based on a sixty-year cycle. It appeared along with a translation into Tibetan of the Kalachakra Tantra in 1027, the year of the Fire Hare.
The year 2024 of the Wood Dragon is part of a cycle that began in 1987. Each year of the cycle is associated with one of the twelve Animals and one of the Five Elements. (If you multiply 12 by 5, you will get a 60-year cycle.)
To find your Animal and your Element go to the Chapter "How to identify your Animal and your Element".
The Twelve Animals
The Tibetan 12-year cycle is "ruled" by twelve Animals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Bird, Dog, and Pig. In various Eastern astrological traditions, the list of animals may vary, but in Tibetan astrology, it is defined in accordance with the legend. Buddha wanted to see and to bless all animals before attaining the final liberation of parinirvana, but only 12 animals came and they came in the order in which they now alternate in a 12-year cycle starting with Rat.
Animals are universal multivalued symbols. In particular, they determine the personal characteristics that a person receives. The general psychological portrait of the 12 Animals can be found in the corresponding chapters of this book.
Tibetan astrological tanka, XIX century
The Five Elements
The Five Elements are potencies, dynamic principles, qualities of cosmic energy or matter: Wood – Fire – Earth – Metal – Water. One should not understand these symbols literally. For example, Wood is not a tree, it is the potency of growth and development. Elements have the following characteristics:
– Wood is vitality, growth, creation,
– Fire is an upward movement, heat, passion, joy,
– Earth is stability, fertility, heaviness, concreteness,
– Metal is hardness, coldness, purity, sharpness,
– Water is the moisture, flowability, penetration, cold, night.
All Elements interact with each other. It can be represented as a diagram:
External arrows show the productive cycle: Fire produces Earth, Earth – Metal, Metal – Water, Water – Wood, Wood – Fire.
Internal dashed arrows show the controlling cycle: Fire controls (suppresses) Metal, Metal – Wood, Wood – Earth, Earth – Water, Water – Fire.
Each year has its own set of qualities and Elements. Each person has a set of characteristics corresponding to the year of birth. Knowing the basic principles of interaction of Elements (production and suppression) you can compare the quality of the coming year with the quality of the year of birth of a person and predict how favorable the coming year will be.
The Five Personal Forces
Each individual has five powers, the nature of which is determined according to the year of his birth. These five forces are as follows:
Vitality, life force (Sok). It’s the power of life that makes a person alive. It is the inner life energy of a person that resides in his heart. Weak Sok is a danger to life.
Body, health (Lü). It is the strength and energy of body health, it’s physique, physical strength, and bodily well-being. It is, figuratively speaking, a vessel for life. Our vital energy (Sok) depends on the integrity of this vessel, depends on the health of the body, because our life force can flow out of the body due to diseases and injuries.
Strength, power (Wang thang). This is the potential of personal power, with which a person can achieve goals, shape his financial situation and manage life circumstances. A strong wang thang gives us the ability to effectively use our talents and opportunities, skillfully manage our time, avoid injury, achieve wealth and prosperity.
Fortune (Lung ta). Literally, Lung ta is translated as "wind horse". It is the energy of luck that attracts favorable situations, circumstances, and money. It brings us success and a good reputation, it is also a spiritual path. Lung ta is the movement of energy through the human body, it is the harmonization and strengthening of the three above-mentioned forces: vitality, health, and strength. When our internal energies are in harmony with the external energies, then fortune becomes our natural companion.
Life-soul (La). It is the spirit or the soul, but it is not the soul in the Christian sense, it’s the soul that binds together all the components of a person, giving integrity and interest in life. It is the immunity. La produces Sok (life force). This means that the Element of La-soul is always in the mother's relationship with Sok-vitality that resides in the heart. For example, if the Element of life-soul is Fire, then the Element of vitality will be Earth because Fire produces Earth. La is very mobile and moves through an individual’s energy channels during the lunar cycle.
Elements and Personal Forces
Each Animal in the Tibetan Zodiac has a predetermined set of three qualities:
– vitality,
– fortune,
– life-soul.
For example, Dragon’s vitality is Earth, fortune – Wood, and life-soul – Fire; Monkey’s vitality is Metal, fortune – Wood, life-soul – Earth; and so on.
Strength (Wang thang) is defined according to the Element of the year. For example, the ruling Element of 1952 and 1953 was Water. Accordingly, the Wang thang of an individual, who was born in 1952 or in 1953, is Water.
Finally, the Element of the body (Lü) is determined depending on the Wang thang Element and the Animal. For example, a person born in 1952 (Water Dragon) will have Water as a body Element.
Calculating favorability of the coming year
To predict how favorable the coming year will be, Tibetans compare Elements for the coming year with natal Elements. There are six degrees of favorability of the interaction of Elements:
– If the Element for the year produces the natal Element (for example, Metal – Water), it is excellent, it is ○○○ (three white stones).
– If the natal Element controls the Element for the year (for example, Fire – Metal), it is very good, it is ○○ (two white stones).
– If the natal Element (Earth or Water) coincides with the Element for the year, it is good, it is ○ (one white stone).
– If the natal Element produces the Element for the year (for example, Earth – Metal), it is neutral, it is ○● (one white stone and one black stone).
– If the natal Element (Wood, Fire, or Metal) coincides with the Element for the year, it is not good, it is ● (one black stone).
– If the Element for the year controls the natal Element (for example, Metal – Wood), it is bad, it is ●● (two black stones).
Example of calculating white and black stones for 2024
Let's say a person was born on October 7, 1952. The natal picture of forces and Elements for this person will be as follows:
– Year of birth: 1952. Animal: Dragon. Element of the year: Water.
– Vitality Element: Earth,
– Body Element: Water,
– Strength Element: Water,
– Fortune Element: Wood,
– Life-soul Element: Fire.
Knowing the natal Elements you can compare them with the Elements of the coming year and find out how favorable the year will be. For example, in 2024 (Wood Dragon) the forces and Elements will be as follows:
– Vitality Element: Earth,
– Body Element: Fire,
– Strength Element: Wood,
– Fortune Element: Wood,
– Life-soul Element: Fire.
Now let's compare the Elements of 1952 with the Elements of 2024. The degree of favorability is estimated with the help of black and white stones:
– Vitality Element (Earth matches Earth): ○ – one white stone,
– Body Element (Water controls Fire): ○○ – two white stones,
– Strength Element (Water produces Wood): ○● – one white stone and one black stone,
– Fortune Element (Wood matches Wood): ● – one black stone,
– Life-soul Element (Fire matches Fire): ● – one black stone.
Two white stones in the Body field indicate that the Element of 1952 (Water) controls the Element of 2024 (Fire). This means that the year 2024 gives an opportunity to those who were born in 1952 to strengthen their bodily "vessel".
If the Body had two black stones (as, for example, those born in the year of the Water Tiger), then this would indicate an increased health hazard in 2024.
The interpretation of all black and white stones for each pair Element-Animal and recommendations for 2024 can be found in the corresponding chapters of this book.
How to identify your Animal and your Element
The Tibetan calendar is lunar-solar. The Tibetan new year does not start on January 1, but on one of the days of January, February, or March.
Each new month of the Tibetan calendar begins with the new moon. The first day of each new month starts when it begins to dawn, in Tibet, it's around 5 a.m.
In popular literature, on Tibetan astrology, you may find the opinion that the year changes its quality (Animal and Element of the year) exactly at the time of the new moon. But this opinion contradicts the fact that the new moon always falls on the 30th day of the month of the Tibetan calendar (as the full moon falls on the 15th), and therefore refers to the previous year. Losar (Tibetan New Year holiday) gives the official start to the new year at dawn.
In the list below you will find information about the start dates of each year in the Tibetan calendar. Once you know your Animal and your Element, you can go to the appropriate Chapter and read your forecast for 2024.

Forecast for 2024
The year of the Dragon begins on February 10, 2024, and ends on February 27, 2025. Wood is the Element of the year. The year of the Wood Dragon is the 38th year in the 60-year cycle of the Tibetan calendar. In Tibetan, this year is called Tromo, which translates as "Terrible".
The standard description of the year of the Dragon is as follows:
“The Year of the Dragon is energetic, giving rise to celebrations and grandiose projects. It is auspicious for marriage, birth, and new beginnings. It is a year of surprises, when an opportunity can be grasped or lost. There are also natural disturbances.”
Wood years have the following standard characteristic:
"Wood gives an animal mobility and vitality, a supple and balanced creative power, and a quality of softness. Wood years are years of transformation."
The year of Wood Dragon has the following combination of Elements:
Vitality – Earth,
Body – Fire,
Strength – Wood,
Fortune – Wood,
Life-soul – Fire.
A similar combination of Elements was in 1964, 1904, 1844, 1784 … 1064. Those years were years of Wood Dragon.
General Recommendations and Tips
Do not worry about the black stones. Everyone has them and the set of stones changes from year to year. Black stones require greater awareness and help people to engage in self-development. If you have black stones in any of the fields, then try to distribute your energy correctly and harmonize your overall condition.
Check the stones of your partners, relatives, and friends. Perhaps their white stones can help compensate for your black stones.
Do not be fooled by a large number of white stones in the forecast for the year. Be vigilant, because white stones, let's say, discourage and incline to laziness. Use the opportunities that open up, but correlate them with the restrictions (black stones) of the year. Remember that the harmony of your internal energies and their coherence with external energies – that’s the key to success and fortune.
Remember to focus on internal changes (in consciousness, in character), not on rituals. Develop a balanced, mature approach to life, use common sense, and everything will be fine. Good luck!

Vitality
Two black stones mean that the Element for the year controls the natal Element. This is a special reminder that the sphere of life and vitality requires attention, awareness, and harmonization. Black stones bring danger and require you to be prudent. Beware of accidents. Avoid extreme situations. Try to lead an unhurried, even lifestyle, because the energy of life goes „with interruptions and delays.“ Tibetans are advised to compensate for black stones by taking care of the lives of other creatures, giving alms. Hunting and fishing should be completely excluded from your to-do list. What’s good is to save living creatures, for example, to buy a fisherman's catch and release the fish back into the water. Tibetans believe that thus you will prolong and protect your own life. The Tibetans also recite mantras for the long life (you can pick up a similar practice by your religion). Do not forget that all life-affirming rituals, including, for example, giving up fishing, should be done with full awareness of why you are doing it. This is the inner magic work.
Body
Two black stones mean that the Element for the year controls your natal Element. Black stones for the body – a danger of diseases and injuries. Watch yourself and be careful. You do not need to run to the gym, you need to show prudence and take care of your health. Full sleep, a moderate balanced diet, no overloads, etc. Tibetans also advise to compensate for black stones magically: change the style of clothing, change the image, hairstyle, hair color, etc., or, for example, come up with a new nickname, alias. By doing this, you will be able to cheat the „evil spirits“ that can not get you and damage your health. As with any magic practice, focus on internal changes, be fully aware of the result. But do not overdo it, fit all changes harmoniously into your life.
Strength
One black stone means that your natal Element coincides with the Element for the year. The black stone in the sphere of strength suggests that making money and implementing your projects will not be easy for you. Beware of obvious and secret enemies, the competition will not be fair and harmless. You can compensate for the influence of the black stone through sincere help to others, participation in good deeds, and charity.
Fortune
One black stone means that your natal Element coincides with the Element for the year. The black stone in the sphere of fortune indicates that your accumulated bad karma will look for ways to manifest itself in your life. Something may happen to you that you will consider undeserved. Do not rush to blame your fate, because, in the end, everyone has to reap the fruits of their past actions sooner or later. You can't count on fortune. Honestly and constructively work through the problems that arise. Develop awareness.
Life-soul
Two black stones indicate that the Element for the year controls your natal Element. Black stones indicate that the energy of your life-soul will be weakened. It will affect your physical immunity, undermine your self-confidence, your will-to-live. Do not give in to despair, do not fall into despondency (it is considered a sin). Overloads are dangerous, take care of your mental and physical health. Harmonize your life. Regularity and moderation will help you.

Two white stones mean that your natal Element controls the Element for the year (suppresses it). According to Tibetan astrologers, two white stones are very good. This year, you have the opportunity to strengthen your „vessel“ and get some margin of safety (if you do not indulge your weaknesses).

Three white stones mean that the Element for the year produces your natal Element. Your power, with which you achieve goals and financial prosperity, will increase, getting nourishment from the energy of the year. It will be easier for you to realize your ambitions and talents and earn money. The main thing is not to give in to laziness and not to overdo it. Harmonize your life, measure your efforts with other indicators of your horoscope and use the increased energy for the benefit of not only yourself but also others.
Fortune
One black stone means that your natal Element coincides with the Element for the year. The black stone in the sphere of fortune indicates that your accumulated bad karma will look for ways to manifest itself in your life. Something may happen to you that you will consider undeserved.

Body
Three white stones mean that the Element for the year produces your natal Element. Bodily strength will receive nourishment from the energy of the year. On the one hand, this is, of course, good, but on the other hand, it can contribute to excessive relaxation, indulgence, excessive pleasures, stagnation.

Hunting and fishing should be completely excluded from your to-do list. What’s good is to save living creatures, for example, to buy a fisherman's catch and release the fish back into the water. Tibetans believe that thus you will prolong and protect your own life. The Tibetans also recite mantras for the long life (you can pick up a similar practice by your religion).
