The Year of Dragon officially started on 23rd January on the same day of the new moon.
Once again, a very happy new year to all of you.
With the influence of the powerful flow of Yang energy (as in yin and yang), it is said that one may feel a little buzz and bustle in the year of Dragon. It is also a year in which success and failure may happen like big waves.
Opportunities may come along side crisis especially in a situation when you have no retreat. This is why this year is also known as “the year of changes and chances”.
Taking advantage of this raging stream, it is possible for you to make your wishes come true or to carry out projects smoothly. Not only external changes, internal changes also tend to happen this year.
Here, we would like to summarise how the "Dragon energy" has influenced the fortune of the 12 Chinese Zodiacs.
*Those who were born in January and February, please check the starting date of the Lunar New Year in the year you were born in order to confirm your Chinese Zodiacs.
If you were born in the year of Rat (2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960,1948 etc.), the possibilities shall grow this year. Driven by the energy of the year of Dragon, you shall be able to utilise your abilities to the fullest. Further growth is expected by revealing your thoughts and emotions tactfully. An active participation shall bring you luck.
For those who were born in the year of Ox (2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949 etc.), this year may bring you new experiences. As a typically careful Ox, you may feel uncomfortable about all the up-and-downs brought by the energy of the year of Dragon. However if you could respond flexibly, you may gain some experiences that you have never had before. Also your family life shall be great this year.
For the Tigers (2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950 etc.), it will probably be a year of haste. Like Dragons, Tigers tend to draw attention. However, it would be the perfect year to work behind the scenes and to better yourself. If you rush into things, you may be disappointed.
If you were born in the year of Rabbit (2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951 etc.), you shall deepen your relationships with people around you. You may be demanded much or even required to take responsibilities, but with the support from family and friends, it shall turn out to be a memorable year.
For the Dragons (2012, 2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952 etc.), this is a year of achievements and new beginnings. If you have been putting accumulated effort into certain goals, you shall finish the final touches this year. It shall appear as solid success. After the wave of achievements, do not forget to look back to make corrections and plant new seeds for the future.
Those who were born in the year of Snake (2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941 etc.), this is a year for you to build the foundation. As Snake is the assistant of Dragon, this year’s effort shall accumulate and be very helpful from next year onwards. Cherish your intuition and don’t keep your ideas to yourself. Share them with people around you will perhaps make them even better.
If you were born in the year of Horse (2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, 1954, 1942 etc.), this year shall be very happening. There is a synergy effect in terms of movements and activities when active Horses meet the firey energy of the year of Dragon. If opportunities approach, do not hesitate to embrace them. New relationships and friendships shall grow effortlessly. Travelling may bring you luck.
For the Goats (2003, 1991, 1979, 1967, 1955, 1943 etc.), it is a year for you to challenge yourself. The modest Goats will share the courage of the year of Dragon. Please tackle challenges with your innate imagination. You shall appreciate the effort you have made in this year when you look back after years. Active socialising shall bring you luck.
Those who were born in the year of Monkey (2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944 etc.), this shall be a year of advancing and execution. This is a lucky year for Monkeys since they have similar values and rhythms with the year of Dragon. It is a perfect year for the curious monkeys to explore new aspects of life. Ideas shall also be brought to life easily.
If you were born in the year of Rooster (2005, 1993, 1981, 1969, 1957, 1945 etc.), this year shall be really smooth. Delicacy of the Roosters and boldness of the year of Dragon may seem contradictory at first glance, but it is in fact something good. You shall be able to maintain the balance between private and public lives if you show your honesty and courage. It is also a good year for you do readjustments regarding your health.
For the Dogs (2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, 1946 etc.), you probably want to pay more attention to better yourself. As Dog locates the opposite side of Dragon on the Chinese Zodiac Circle, things may not go as you expected. There may even be events that get on your nerves. In order to have a balanced life, it would be a good idea for you to leave some time for things you are passionate about.
If you were born in the year of Pig (2007, 1995, 1983, 1971, 1969, 1947 etc.), it is a year for you to raise your awareness. There shall be many events in this year. For those who are considering changing directions, this is a perfect year. However, no matter how busy you are, you should cherish the time with your family since you will only work best when your family is in great shape.
I wish all of you a healthy and fruitful year.
How to take advantage of the Oriental and Western Birthday Fortune Telling
1. When you read through, the parts you care the most would be the message to you.
2. On the other hand, if you do not feel anything in particular, just forget about those parts and read on.
3. If you feel your emotions are getting stronger as you read, please start an inner dialogue.
4. When you read, please bring your past, present and future into your vision.
5. Ask people around for a subjective impression of you.
6. Since all the predictions are based on statistics, there will of course be exceptions.
7. In order to grasp the whole picture, please take as many people as possible into consideration, such as your family, friends and celebrities.
* For example, the characteristics of people born in the Year of Rat only came to light after everyone who was born in respective Rat years are compared to those of different Chinese zodiacs. We do not know about the specific differences within the Rat Year group.
8. When you are troubled by making life decisions, please think of fortune telling as one of the many advice.
*After all you are the one who need to think about it, make decisions and carry out actions.
Please feel free to consult with us even though you might feel your concerns are little trivial.
