This year, the 2024 prediction focuses on People Dynamics, Countries of Interest, Animals as well as Elements and Industries!
Year of the Dragon is about Writers and Intellectual Pioneers.
People Dynamics:
This is a lucky year of writers, academics, and publishers. The energy of 2024 wants to promote them and encourage them as a positive influence in this year. The energies of the universe want to reward such people more this year? They will be brought to light more. Also, it would NOT be lucky for governments and powers to penalize publishers and writers or journalists/academics in this year, to try and make an example of theme (for instance like Julian Assange) as it will cause repercussions.
This is because the energy of this year, wants to promote them and favor them, and if you are working against the abundance of this energy that this year wants to promote, it will work against you. It is better to compromise and work with these people.
This is the same with countries and their governments whom are faced with having to deal with such problematic people (the publishers and writers). If you chose to do nothing, ignore the issue, it will also cause you big problems.
I am also concerned about the United Kingdom creating these new more restrictive rules for international students in the areas of sciences in 2024. The UK is making it harder for all students to gain access to a student visa, increasing costs of acquiring one significantly and certain parameters never introduced before, such as restricting dependents from travelling with them.
Overall, I feel these new student visa rules, which were implemented recently, create more conflict in 2024 than expected, especially for students in the areas of science. Science is the most important subject of all, as it allows for stability/growth in medicine, technology and managing disasters. All these are safeguards for humanity at a basic level.
As this is a year supporting academics, it would not be lucky to attack them in this way. There are other ways to limit immigration.
Perhaps reestablishing links with commonwealth countries and certain ancestry is the way forward. For example, someone from Australia whose ancestors were originally from the UK only 200 years ago?
Britain recognizes that Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Cornish people are now part of an ethnic minority group which needs to be protected, as these groups are in decline. Perhaps visa rules should extend to reflect preservation of these groups?
Overall UK’s aim to restrict immigration is a lucky long-term gain for them and I feel they are doing the right thing. 2024 will be a bit of an obstacle as I just described in regard to this.
In regard to the ‘publishing energy’ this year, as a writer, you don’t have to publish in the year of 2024 to achieve success, however, you may be able to get a lot more work done on your book or writing project. For this reason, this is an excellent year for researchers. Progress will be made.
It is also a luckier year for women in their 40s and youthful looking mature women who look younger than they are. This could include women in their early 50s however this is stretching it.
Specific ages for people who should be lucky in this year, are 64 years of age, 52 years of age, 40 years of age, 16 years and 28 years of age. This is a generalisation and may not apply to everyone.
Older women are in opposition to younger women whom are luckier than them.
There will be this theme of much older women being in opposition to the younger ones, this melody will continue as 2024 emerges. When you see this dynamic occur throughout 2024, between the older women and the younger women, the younger women will prevail and have luck on her side more. This is a warning to much older women in conflict to younger women in 2024, the younger women will most likely win. She is given more strength this year.
We had Mary Donaldson rise to the throne (which was a bit strange) and Queen Margrethe abdicate early at the beginning of the year, this was a nicer representation of this energy (even though a bit weird), however this energy will repeat again throughout the year. We may see other scenarios play out around other well-known people and this dynamic.
In 2024, it is harder for older women to win over younger women.
So, if you are an older woman in some kind of battle with a younger one, you will be weakened somehow by her as the energy of 2024 lends its strength to the younger women.
I do wonder about Brittany Higgins (ex parliamentary worker in Canberra) whom has been featured heavily in Australian media and her move to France, to get away from the limelight in Australia. Already an older female politician Linda Reynolds, is after her and trying to freeze her assets via the unscrupulous and devious application of another lawsuit claiming defamation. One wonders if the younger Brittney Higgins, is running away from this older female politician? This dynamic between younger and older women is already playing out again in 2024, as we see this situation emerge. Nevertheless, I feel the France move for Higgins, will be luckier and the older female politician will lose her luck in 2024. Stories about them will continue to emerge in the media as 2024 progresses. We have not seen the end of it.
As said before, in 2024 the dynamic between the older women and younger women will be in favor of the younger women. The older female politician should leave Brittney Higgins alone in 2024, as most likely the older politician could experience more turmoil and bad luck around herself as 2024 emerges. Her actions could look retaliative.
Overall, in a very general sense women in power are luckier than men in power in the year of 2024. Perhaps more women come into power in 2024? Men in power may not be as lucky as the women in power and if you are a man in conflict with a woman in 2024, the women, even if she is older, will have perhaps more success.
As a man in this situation during 2024, you may have more success in this dynamic if you listen to your wife or girlfriend regarding the decision or problem at hand. This is all very general and may not apply to everyone.
Overall, a female advisor/specialist will help you more in 2024, rather than a male advisor in 2024. This isn’t to say a male advisor/specialist can’t help you, only that a female one may be more instrument in making something important happen perhaps. Again, this is all very general and may only play out around significant individuals in the world as theme.
King Charles and King Frederick
When Prince Frederick became King, he became King on an almost black moon - he was also born an almost black moon. When Prince Charles became King in 2022, he became one on an almost full moon - he was also born on a full moon. Just a coincidence? I leave that up to you to decide.
Due to this dynamic, at some point in the future, these two Kings will one day be in opposition to one another or face some type of conflict. One represents the black moon and the other represents the full moon. One wonders what this opposition will be about.
Prince Frederick became King on the black moon, which is very masculine and open energy which belongs to a man. He will be more direct and outspoken perhaps daring during his reign. It is through activities and projects that he sets new standards and boundaries.
For a woman to become Queen on a black moon, it is a much weaker position and not as promoting in terms of rulership. She will be controlled more by her husband. In her case this energy suggests that it would not be wise for her to make the slightest political remark or suggestion. It is best for her to be withdrawn, perhaps more than usual throughout her husband’s reign.
They became King and Queen in the cave month before the actual new year begins which is 24th of February full moon. The cave month of which he became King, is also a ‘mother’ energy and I feel his mother will still linger in the background in 2024, hovering over him and influence or help him make decisions, whether he likes it or not.
Anyone that rises to position of power after the start of the real New Year, starting in February full moon of the 24th, the effects will be long-lasting and could stretch for many years. Especially if you are a woman or born under the Dragon/Crocodile aspect. Unfortunately, Mary Donaldson and her rich business husband, just missed out on this favorable time frame. Doesn’t mean she will be unlucky after 2024, however other women will emerge to take the light more in the world (also in years to come). There is more relevance to them, especially a woman who is academic or extremely smart, as a center of influence.
The 24th of February real New Year, which sets the beginning of the Dragon/Crocodile year, could dictate longer lasting rulers, who have more influence and power. This is because the Dragon/Crocodile year forms a triangle with the 144 new period we entered which started in 2020. We have not actually entered the Dragon/Crocodile year yet. You must wait to the 24th full moon of February.
If you are looking to take up position or power, maybe you are becoming a manager for the first time, a virtuous time to start is after what I believe is the true new year – 24th of February month. Other months to consider in 2024 to take up position of influence are, June (maybe July) and November. This is all very general and will not apply to everyone, only very prominent individuals perhaps.
King Charles became King in the previous 2022 year on a full moon in a very active year. His reign should be successful and popular mostly as he is also blessed by the full moon due to his day of birth, as it was almost a full moon when he was born. He will set standards for the future. In 2028 year, four years from now, King Charles and his seat on the throne, may be in opposition in some way or weakened. So, he has to be careful of this year. People born on full moons place a lot of value on partnerships, so it is important that Queen Camilla is by his side, it also helps to expand his overall forte.
Countries of Interest
I see UK emerging stronger in 2024 and reclaiming its former glory as a long-term goal over a many years. People may not see or recognise this in 2024. London will emerge as the Platinum City not Gold, yet this will happen, as said more in years to come. In 2024 they will have struggles with it. This long-term gain for them signifies new wealth, one that is different and stronger. The actions required around immigration which UK aspire to may seem difficult, yet it is the answer to this change. Over the next 10 years UK will emerge as a stronger country and London will be a glittery jewel.
In 2024, countries taking a stronger stance are Peru and Chile. The west coast of Peru and Chile could be emphasized or they may be a focul point of attention. This may include some parts of South America. Also islands off the coast off the west coast of all these countries in the Pacific Ocean, especially the South Pacific Ocean, could be emphasized more or influential in some way. Perhaps they exhume more luck or strength or maybe there is additional prosperity in these countries/islands as 2024 emerges? I do wonder about Peru/Chile and its coast and the islands nearby in 2024? I’m also seeing Mexico standing out economically, growing or become stronger. At the very least they will be heightened in some way this year or emphasized.
Australia and South Africa are also emphasised later in 2024 in some way? Maybe after the middle of the year.
Other countries which may receive more luck than others in 2024 are, China (east half), Mongolia (east half) and Russia (east half). They most likely won’t be in the spotlight though in 2024, compared to Australia, New Zealand, South America.
Countries in great conflict in 2024 are (as we know) Russia in the west half of its country, the east half of turkey, the west part of Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Israel, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Georgia, Armenia, Saudi Arabia and the west part of Afghanistan, and the maybe west part of Pakistan, as well as Madagascar as a whole.
In 2024, there could be more terrible conflict and disturbances/movements, than there are now within these countries mentioned or new conflicts emerge.
However the positive spotlight in 2024 is more on Australia, South America, South Africa, New Zealand. The Southern continents in the midlatitudes are appearing stronger in 2024.
There is a difference between yearly luck and long term 12-year luck which started in 2020 (which was a new cycle)
The long-term luck for such countries is Russia, UK especially, China, Canada over the next 10 years, which is a slow luck emerging, more than the USA. Not every year will be lucky for these slow emerging countries. I feel Canada, Greenland and Alaska could emerge stronger over the next 10 years. UK could be in conflict throughout 2024 with the changes they are making even though it is for the overall good of their nation as a long-term goal.
Animals
The Beaver is lucky in 2024 or a focal point in this year
Bogs, inland marshes and dams are also environments which are a focal point or could even attract prosperity.
The Dragon pertains to the Crocodile or Alligator in a swamp or marsh. The beaver is very lucky and any wildlife efforts to conserve them could be a success in 2024. All those species which thrive in swamps, bogs and muddy environments could be highlighted in some way. The decaying action of vegetation and wood seems to be emphasized in 2024. Bacteria’s and fungi which grow in such places are also emphasized. Perhaps as a scientist or researcher, it is better to focus on projects relating to them more in 2024? I do worry more about viruses in 2024. There is an emphasis to contagious diseases again perhaps in this year?
Environment
Bogs, swamps, and inland water sources, like inland lakes, ponds etc are environments of focus in 2024. Cliffs and coastal areas are in opposition to the luck of 2024. Caves, hollows and crevices are more dangerous, and more care should be taken around such places.
I do worry about landslides more as well as rockfalls and topples, coastal erosion, perhaps may be more dramatic in 2024?
Rising of sea levels will maybe more in focus or more instrumental than thought in 2024.
The bottom of lakes is emphasized perhaps in 2024. The formation of lakes is also emphasized as well as lakes which have come and gone as well as rivers which have come and gone.
The South Pacific Ocean is very much emphasized in 2024.
Elements and Industries
In 2020 ‘Year of the Swan’ article, I predicted that Copper, Aluminium and Nickel were lucky, and that Gold would not be fortunate in that year. I predicted this, when all those metals had slumped which was a gutsy prediction during the pandemic. It turned out I was right about Gold in 2020, as it became much worse than expected, and in 2020 Copper and Nickel emerged out quite strongly in the markets during the latter half of 2020, which I was correct about. Aluminium was also strong in 2020 due to Chinese market.
In 2022 Year of the Tiger article, I foretold Lithium could be difficult and conflicting and one could only be attaining some luck with Lithium element in 2022. However, in 2024, lithium isn’t as lucky and this trend will continue for years to come.
In 2024 Lithium isn’t doing as well. There is difficulty around the Lithium markets. Already the Financial Times, mentions this on their article realeased on the 25 of January 2024 “Lithium Price Plunges on Slowing Chinese demand for electric vehicles”
This year in 2024, Copper is coming back and is going to be extra lucky and stronger than before. Perhaps investing in copper will be more optimistic? It could stand out more as positive. However, I can’t guarantee this as I don’t want to be held responsible for peoples’ financial decisions around this article. Nevertheless, the latter half of 2024, might bring Copper to stand out more as a lucky element. You won’t see it happening straight away as 2024 starts. Aluminum is also luckier in 2024 but it may not have the spotlight like Copper.
Twitter (X) may be in more conflict in 2024. Twitter (X) perhaps may be in opposition to what it publishes. It may end up being in extreme conflict in 2024?
Hiring someone or involving someone born in the Dog year at Twitter (X), whom has already been through many academic or writing obstacles could create the armor of attention, Twitter might need in 2024. They must be an academic, writer or publisher who has already been through a lot of turmoil and disaster from the past to receive this type of luck. Bringing suppressed publishers to light is lucky in 2024, as a strategy for Twitter overcoming obstacles. It may seem hard yet will be the right move.
People in the precious gem industries (especially crystals) may go through conflict or a weakening effect in 2024. The exception is if you are in the mining industry which relates to a bog, shallow water or marsh like place, perhaps you may be lucky in 2024?
Peat is a lucky element to be involved with more in 2024? Peat is luckier than coal in 2024 perhaps. Peat is a sign of wealth in 2024 perhaps?
Sodium is unlucky and Vanadium is in some kind of conflict or weakening effect in 2024. I do worry about Silver in 2024. It will be better in two years.
It is lucky to wear the stone of peridot and copper jewellery or utilise copper appliances. The stone of peridot should only be limegreen, if you are going to wear one in 2024 for luck.
Summary
Overall, as 2024 emerges there will be attention to writers and publishers as well as academics, as a focal point, the energy of 2024 wants to promote them, especially if it is a woman.
So, if you are in opposition to someone like this in your life during 2024, it would not be right to keep on attacking them as you will perhaps not succeed.
This is also the same if you are an older woman in opposition to a younger one. The energy will not like you as it will instead be more supportive to the younger one. If you are a man in opposition to a women, the women will have more luck so I warn you, even if they are older than you, they still may prevail. This will change in 2025.
A man and an older woman in impediment with a younger women will have a hard time, as the younger women will most likely prevail against both of them in 2024.
Books which come out in 2024 will be more prolific than other years. Published works and new podcasts or videos have better luck to go viral or achieve worldwide success. Even after 2024, as a writer your work could also do well in 2025 (if you were working on it heavily in 2024).
The middle east, Ukraine and west part of Russia, could see more conflict and violence emerging, it may not get better, I see it get worse and peace will be hard to come by.
Argentina, Peru, Chile and the islands off the South Pacific Ocean, perhaps are emphasized or prosperous in some way?
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South America are maybe standing out more in 2024 or making a stronger more positive stance.
U.K will achieve some of its long-term goals in 2024, especially in regard to immigration but don’t attack or make bad decisions around the academics, writers and publishers in this year, even many years after this time frame. It’s better to do a deal. Especially people well known in these areas, don’t attack them. New laws and regulations made by UK internationally will have repercussions in 2024. It doesn’t mean your goals have to change but get ready for conflict.
Copper has the chance to be lucrative in 2024. Gold isn’t that bad either. Be weary of Silver, I see it as problematic in 2024.
Caves and caverns are more dangerous this year as well as coastlines. I ask you to be extra cautious around these areas. Rising of sea levels is a concern in 2024 more than other years.
I bring you to the end of my prediction and wishing all a safe and happy year ahead.
