Dragon: Special attention should be given to health, as there is a risk of old ailments recurring. Before the Year of the Dragon, it's crucial to change any bad lifestyle habits to avoid illness. This year, avoid risky and high-impact sports to prevent injuries. Do not drive when fatigued. In relationships, there's a tendency to have good intentions but bad outcomes. Therefore, do not be overly enthusiastic or intervene too much in others' affairs, as it might not only fail to help but could make things worse. In terms of marriage and emotional relationships, make an effort to strengthen communication and avoid impatience. This year, focus your energy on work and career. Utilizing your skills and talents can lead to significant gains. Prioritize health and fitness as your primary task. Limit participation in social gatherings and reduce alcohol consumption for better health.
