The Year of the Dragon For each year, the Chinese Calendar attributes an Astrological sign that corresponds to a particular animal.  Therefore, that animal’s traits define its year’s fortune. 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, just as it was in 2012, 2000, 1988, and so on. The Dragon is the fifth zodiac sign and the only mythical creature. Therefore, 2024 is expected to be a lucky, prosperous, and magical year.
