How to avoid bad luck in 2024:  Astrologer shares Chinese New Year predictions for 2024, including why you shouldn’t get married

Chinese New Year is celebrated by followers on February 10, 2024 – but what does it mean if you were born in the Year of the Dragon?

TikToker Victoria Mayfrom the US, recently warned users born in the Year of the Dragon on her account with some of her predictions @vc.mei.

She believed that this year would give those born in the Chinese zodiac year the opportunity to shine in their careers, and also advised her 79,000 followers against getting married.

But social media users were left confused when confronted with conflicting advice, with some claiming they had heard it was a good time to get married.

In the clamp which has since been viewed nearly 30,000 times, she said: “2024 is the year of the Dragon.

‘If you were born in the Year of the Dragon, this year is the turning point in your career.

Canadian content creator @chinesewithlia told her fans born in the dragon star year to wear red to ward off any bad luck

‘This year you can showcase your talents and abilities and get more career opportunities.

“Second, don’t get married this year. 2024 is called the widow’s year in China; there is no beginning of spring in the lunar calendar in China.

“It is very unfortunate to get married in China this year.”

One TikTok user said: ‘I’m a dragon and my wedding is this month’ and another said: ‘Some say this year is a lucky year to get married, I’m confused!’

But one user, convinced by Victoria’s advice, asked: ‘Can I renew my vows then?’

This comes after a similar video made by the Canadian content creator @chinesemetlia was published, in which her fans born in the dragon star year had to wear red to ward off any bad luck.

In the 27 seconds clampLia told her 438,000 followers to be wary of the bad luck the Chinese New Year 2024 would bring them if their zodiac is the dragon.

‘If you were born in these years, your zodiac sign is dragon aand when your zodiac year arrives, that will bring you bad luck.

Some TikTok viewers were baffled by Victoria’s marriage advice, while others questioned Lia about her red dress rule

‘In Chinese we call it the ben ming nian: the ear of fate. That year you offend the god of age – Tai Sui.

‘It will hang around your head all year round, it will bring you bad luck, it will get you into trouble. But don’t worry, There is a way to fix it.

You should ask a family member to buy you something in red, such as long johns, red belt, red socks, red lingerie or underwear’.

TikTok users were quick to ask Lia which items of clothing in red were good, with one asking: “Is a red bracelet good?” and another asks, “Do I have to wear my red hat all year?”

But one account admitted: ‘I wore red underwear on New Year’s Eve so I’m safe.’
