![The Bulletin: Montreal's Year of the Dragon 🐉 [Issue #63]](https://storage.ghost.io/c/00/e5/00e5bf23-2b72-4a48-92bb-496245b79d2a/content/images/2024/01/24234959914_b30de00e83-1.jpg)
This Saturday (February 10th) will mark the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Dragon, and the beginning of more than two weeks of festivities, customs and plenty of feasts. 2024 is forecasted to be a year of power, nobility, honor, luck, and success, bringing about opportunities, changes, and challenges.
Not sure if you know, but each time it's one of the zodiacs' turns in their 12-year cycle, their elements change too, going through wood, fire, earth, metal and water. This year is the wood dragon, a return to the natural state of being in the Daoist tradition, which—in the dragon’s case—points to a return to kindness.
Now, whether or not you're one for horoscopes, zodiacs, and feeling as though your life is in some way influenced by the clockwork of the universe, it's nice to take this away from all of this information we just dumptrucked on you:
