Metal Element's 2024 Year of the Dragon Forecast
Based on the Ancient Science of the I Ching
By: Dr. Mao Shing Ni
You will get your way in 2024 as Earth is your generative element while Wood is subordinate to your Metal. However, excessive focus on perfectionism may block you.
Physical Health
Work-Life Balance: As a Metal element, your tendency may be to focus excessively on work, therefore creating a deficit in your personal life that may negatively affect your physical well-being. Additionally, you may neglect to move your body regularly, leading to respiratory weakness manifesting symptoms like weak immunity, shortness of breath, sinus problems, cough, and asthma. Because Metal element is also associated with the colon, bowel movement dysfunction may not be uncommon. Physical rigidity may also result due to prolonged sitting.
Prioritize a healthy work-life balance to prevent physical and mental exhaustion by establishing and adhering to a work-stop time each day, after which you refrain from checking your work email and messages. Eat more daikon, garlic, radish, white onions, and pears to strengthen your immune and respiratory systems and reduce mucus production. Incorporate flexibility exercises like Dao-In Yoga to prevent stiffness and promote overall physical well-being. Take the Metal Core Element formula containing white mulberry, honeysuckle, and ligustri to optimize and balance healthy functions of your lungs and immunity.
Mental/Emotional Health
Perfectionism Challenge: Metal individual’s tendency with a structured mindset may hinder open-mindedness and lead to perfectionism that affects self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.
Cultivate flexibility in thinking to promote mental well-being and adaptability. Instead of obsessing over minutia, focus on the bigger picture instead. Stop fearing mistakes and look at it as opportunities to learn. Set realistic goals and expectations, and listen to your feelings. Practice Metal Element meditation to help you relax and go with the flow.
Relationship Health
Communication Barriers: Metal's reserved nature and self-sufficiency may sometimes strain relationships and impact open communication.
Address potential communication barriers by actively working on expressing thoughts and feelings in your relationships. Practice acceptance and focus on empathy, compassion, and understanding with your partner. Approach relationships with curiosity and vulnerability.
Career Health
Independence and Collaboration: Your Metal element’s tendency for perfectionism may lead you to overly focus on structure, which may lead you to be overly independent, resist change, and insist on the traditional approach.
Actively seek outgrowth opportunities and try different ways to do the same thing. Embrace innovation in your career and be open-minded about perspectives other than yours. Engage in teamwork and collaboration instead of going solo.
Financial Health
Caution Impact: Metal individual's inclination toward consistency may result in missed growth opportunities. Beware of your tendency of excessive risk aversion.
Balance caution with calculated risks to ensure optimal financial growth. Seek out diverse investment opportunities and diversify your financial portfolio.
