Happy Year of the Dragon – 2012
The Year of the Water Dragon begins on 23rd
January 2012.
The dragon is a lucky sign, the fifth of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac.
The Chinese dragon is a much more loving creature than the Western dragon
– blessed with supernatural power, fortune, and understanding.
Eastern philosophy regards the dragon
positively, the supreme beast, fearless, wise and master over all
- the dragon represented the emperor. People
born under this sign gain power and respect, which
is why it is the most popular Chinese zodiac sign attracting an increased birth
rate in oriental countries.
Predictions
Dragon years usually bring large happenings, either good or bad - an abundance
of yang energy. However, they are
positive for finance, and the water dragon acts more considerately then his
fellow dragons. This means the
usual dragon disasters will be less likely. The dragon’s obstinate ego will
bring power and bold ambition to 2012, making it a good time to start a
business or get married. Dragons like to spend money.
Best and Worst Month’s
Best months in this dragon year are: January, February, July, August and
November – and the worst are will be September and December.
Generally, people who take chances and are ambitious will benefit in a
Dragon Year.
Dragon People
People born in the Year of the Dragon are extrovert, brave, quick-tempered,
generous, honest and passionate. They prefer being on their own and doing things
independently. Their excellent
entrepreneurial skills make them successful businesspeople, as well as good
inventors, lawyers and salespersons.
Dragon’s energy, competitiveness and determination usually allow them to
achieve near the top of their profession.
Dragon Relationships
Dragons have a deep sincere heart and will give in to love despite their
independence, but a thick-skin is needed in their partner to take their quick
temper. The best relationships are
with either a monkey or a rat – the least compatible being the ox or goat.
