Chinese New Year 2024: Celebrities’ Chinese zodiac and predictions

The celebration of Chinese New Year on Saturday, Feb. 10, ushers in the Year of the Wooden Dragon, an aggressive and fierce zodiac that possesses a “creative“ and “strategist” trait.

Feng Shui expert Master Hanz Cua has predicted that 2024 will be in “attack mode,” unlike the Year of the Rabbit in 2023 which was a lot calmer. However, Cua, who has been in practice for over 20 years, stressed that a “plan B” must always be in place as circumstances could turn out for the better or worse in a snap. 

Cua also said that this year, show business will see more breakups and infidelities among longtime partners. Advising those in relationships, he underscored that patience, communication as well as avoidance in sharing internal issues on social media are key to maintaining relationships. 

Additionally, also expected in 2024 are big and sudden changes in the film industry, and more stars—especially females—taking the spotlight.

These predictions, as emphasized by Cua, only serve as guides for individuals in the lunar year. 

“Tayo ang gumagawa ng swerte natin dahil nasa ating mga kamay nakasalalay ang ating mga tagumpay,” he underscored.
