In this January 2026 retrospective, Feng Shui master Gabriella audits her early 2024 Year of the Dragon predictions against real-world outcomes, revealing striking alignments across global events. Highlights include the rise of women in leadership (historic firsts in Mexico, Namibia, North Macedonia, Iceland, and more), the release of Julian Assange as a win for publishers and press freedom, a dramatic beaver baby boom and wetland revival in Britain, the collapse of lithium prices contrasted with copper's strong rebound, booming independent publishing and knowledge flows, escalating conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, Peru's Chancay mega-port reshaping trade, and heightened coastal/erosion pressures worldwide. A triumphant look back at how the Dragon's energy broke restraints, shifted balances, and roared into reality—validating Feng Shui cycles beyond mere entertainment.
