What Will Happen in this Year of the Chinese Zodiac Sign “Kinoe-tatsu”?

The year 2024 is “Kinoetatsu”. “Kou” has the character of the beginning of things, and “Tatsu” is the year of growth.

There were many encouraging moments, such as winning the WBC, qualifying for the Olympics in the World Cup basketball tournament, and Sota Fujii winning his 8th championship in the professional Go (Japanese chess) tournament. However, the year 2023 was also plagued by extreme heat, rising prices, the revelation of Big Motor and Daihatsu’s fraudulent activities, and political turmoil over party ticket kickbacks.

 

What kind of year will 2024, the year of the dragon, really be? Makoto Takemitsu, author of “What is the Chinese Zodiac for the Japanese?”

“The year 2024 will be the year of the Dragon Kou. “Kou” has the character of the beginning of things, and “Tatsu” is the year of growth. It is said that what we have been striving for until now will make a great leap forward, and further growth is expected.” (Makoto Takemitsu)

It will be a happy year for those who have been working hard to obtain good data from their research or improve their marathon times.

According to one theory, stock prices tend to rise in the year of the dragon or the year of the snake, while they tend to fall in the year of the dog or the year of the boar. If this is the case, it is tempting to think of making a fortune in the stock market.

“However, the year is only a year in which your past efforts will make a great leap forward, not a year in which you will get rich quick by making a few quick wins.”

The NISA will be new from January 1, 2024. As new products are created, there will be many corresponding scams. It is rather important to be careful about these things.

Former Prime Minister Abe’s case occurred in 2022, the year of the “child” that “something will happen”

According to Takemitsu, the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac and the ten signs of the zodiac (A, B, C, D, etc.) originated in ancient Chinese empirical science, and it is believed that each time and specific direction has its own characteristics.

According to him, “Zi (ne)” means “life begins to sprout within a seed,” and “ox” means “buds intertwine within a seed,” in the order of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac: Zi, Ox, Tiger, sprout gradually from seeds, plants and trees grow, fruits ripen, and seeds are born within fruits again. This is repeated in a 12-year cycle.

 

It is believed that events occur according to the nature of time. For example, in the year of the child, the seed of a problem is born, and the problem gradually grows. In the year of the dragon, when plants and trees grow, the efforts you have made so far will grow, just as plants and trees grow.
