happy new year everybody, the chinese new year begins on February 10th 2024.
It is the year of the 'wood dragon' and chinese folk astrology says that people born in this year show themselves to be emotionally driven in life, with a tendency to be stubborn even in the face of reality!
They are more likely to be extroverts than introverts and prefer to be leaders rather than followers. Others admire their drive and can easily be swept up by their dogged enthusiasm. They can be intimidating, do not suffer fools gladly and they may have issues with anger management. They do like to be the centre of attention!
Master acupuncturists are guided by the 'cycles of life' and know this year as a 'chia chen' year.
'chia' refers to the yang of wood, the celestial stem energy of the year. Being a yang celestial stem, this year's energy is in excess.
'chen' refers to the yang of earth, the terrestrial branch energy of the year. On earth the yang of earth manifests earth energy, hence the correlation with the dragon; a supernatural animal that dominates the earth.
Alchemically, as all master acupuncturists know, excess earth energy produces a deficiency of water energy according to the ke cycle of five element theory, whilst the yang of earth and tai yang combine to balance out the energies of earth and water.
This alchemical scenario, the interaction between heavenly and earthly energies, creates seasonal harmony throughout 2024 with the occasional tempestuous upset . The potential for extreme periods of short term disturbance is however never far away.
In this year the advice on health, wealth and happiness might be:
Health
The missing organic energies for 2024 are the lung and colon energies.
With no wood and fire deep energies, and with deficient water energy struggling to support and nourish these missing deep energies, the overriding impression is one of a lack of flow that can lead to internal stagnation.
Fortunately, alchemy reveals the formula that balances this energetic scenario. The celestial stem balancing point is LIV-8, the water point of the yin of wood, taking from the water energy only to give back to the water energy whilst also nourishing fire energy. PC-6 has the same deep energy i,e. earth deep energy as the terrestrial branch energy for the year. This 'inner gate' point increases water energy. When combined together they create jue yin energy, the energy necessary for improved flow of organic energy.
Wealth
This is a year to move forward. Doing nothing is not an option. Investing in property and in environmental industries will likely pay off.
Happiness
For master acupuncturists happiness is achieved through harmony, harmony both within and without.
Stimulating the 'four gates' (Colon 4 + Liver 3) on the 8 auspicious days of the year is an obvious way to harmonise in 2024.
Master acupuncturists us PC-4 to encourage the feelgood factor in such a year as 2024. It is a vasodilator to stimulate weak fire deep energy in this year.
Climate
Tai Yang dominates the energetic atmosphere on Earth throughout the year but its influence is ameliorated by the strong presence of earth energies. So, although last years theme of increased flooding continues the effects will be lessened in 2024. What can easily occur this coming year are volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, but at least the seasons follow on from each other as we would expect.
As we know, every year produces energetic strengths and weaknesses. These effects are created by the Cycles of Life. These are natural cycles that determine not only the world we live in but also the world within us.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
