Unlike Western astrology , which revolves around the position of stars and planets according to birth months, the Chinese zodiac offers a unique approach based on the lunar calendar and year of birth. Each year in the Chinese calendar is represented by one of 12 animals: the Goat, Rat, Horse, Pig, Ox, Rabbit, Snake, Tiger, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Dragon. Passed down through centuries, each animal is believed to impart specific personality traits to those born in its year, influencing aspects of life such as compatibility, fortune, happiness and even career paths.

In these uncertain modern times, many Brits turn to astrology for guidance, taking their lead from the strength associated with each different animal. According to Chinese tradition, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon. A mythical creature that is said to symbolise good luck, this year should continue to be a time of good fortune, wisdom and success.
