Dragon Year Details!

My greatly esteemed teacher, Grandmaster Yap Leong ('Leong' is Cantonese for 'Lung'/Dragon) says China, the Great Dragon, is always active and full of surprises in Dragon Years. So watch out for these, they are usually pleasant ones! The maxim runs:'The Dragon (China) changes shape quickly, taking those unprepared by surprise!' Anyway, the Chinese will be here in the U.K. for the Olympics.

Thus, Dragon Years are usually volatile visitors! Personally, it may seem like your good and bad traits are magnified. Issues may swing to-and-fro and so caution is required to avoid being carried-away by events' However, the Dragon, associated with 'Spirit', is an auspicious Year for those Martial Artists and others 'attuned' to its energies. Idealism and flexibility may prove useful qualities over the period.

Yang Water (the Year Element) symbolises Wealth (consider Current Accounts, cash-flow,'floatation', liquidity) and also Communication (word-flow, stream of consciousness, rivers of words).'Big' Water representatives include: Oceans, Seas; the Yangtze River (aka the 'Chang Jiang' or 'Long River') the world's biggest, and Multi-national Communications Businesses,. These could all be classified under 'Big Water', so watch out for developments in related fields(1).

Fortunes of the 12-Animals for Yang Water Dragon Year 2012-13

Dragon in Dragon Year

This should be a good year overall, especially if arguments are avoided. Control your money-making urges and good prospects should manifest on the career and financial fronts.

Spring and Autumn are your best times this year-your summer may prove disappointing. December requires extra vigilance regarding your home and possessions.

Rat in Dragon Year

There are excellent career and financial prospects for Rats this year. Rats born in 1960 should prove particularly fortunate during this period in most of their endeavours.

Those Rats in employment may enjoy a change of scene. There is a strong possibility of a meaningful relationship developing around November/December time.

Ox in The Dragon Year

Ox feet should remain firmly planted on the ground this year and a degree of caution exercised throughout. Swinging this-way- and-that and with potential ups-and-downs also, Ox finances need careful managing, and all contracts should be meticulously scrutinised before signing.

Caution is also the keyword in relationship terms this year for both married and single Oxen.

Tiger in the Dragon Year

Avoid lending-out money or underwriting the financial transactions of others and this could be a good year, financially and overall.

If arguments and disputes arise from romantic entanglements, Tigers may need to demonstrate self-control this year. Overwork (1960 Tigers especially) and domestic accidents are ongoing concerns throughout the year.

Rabbit in Dragon Year

Rabbits can expect good news from within the family. Rising income and expenditure accompany each other-saving is a good idea this year.

Mood-swings may occur from time-to-time, positive thinking may moderate negative influences. Spring and Summer are your best times of Year, but watch out for unnecessary expenditure in Winter.

Snake in Dragon Year

Horse in the Dragon Year

Goat/Sheep in Dragon Year

Be patient as conflicts and reverses may thwart this year's plans-legal and occupational set-backs, especially. Control your temper, be diplomatic and think before speaking. As Goats' Financial prospects are poor this year, avoid gambling and speculation. and practice relaxation.

Romance, for Monkey Males this year is a non-starter conversely, for Female Monkeys it's an auspicious and promising time indeed.

Rooster/Chicken in Dragon Year

This is a fortunate year for Roosters/Chickens on the health, finance and occupational fronts. Take especial care in decision-making in Autumn and Winter and you may avoid losing money.

A year of difficulties, where romance is concerned, don't go overboard in relationships as these will typically be short-term.

Tolerance and patience will be necessary for Dogs this Year on the romance and relationships front.
