2012 The year of the Water Dragon

In China the Dragon, (the symbol of the Chinese people), is considered a most auspicious character being able to fly and to live in the water, the Dragon links heaven and earth. The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. A symbol of strength, good fortune and sign of intense power, the Oriental Dragon is regarded as a divine beast.

The Dragon Years:
1904 * 1916 * 1928 * 1940 * 1952 * 1964 * 1976 * 1988 * 2000* 2012* 2024

(The characteristics of the of the Chinese zodiac occur every 12 years however this is tempered by the 5 elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water this means that the last Water Dragon appeared in 1952 and babies born this year will see the next Water Dragon in 2072).

The Water Dragon
Water has a calming effect on the Dragon's fearless temperament. Water allows the Dragon to re-direct its enthusiasm, and makes him more perceptive of others. Water Dragons are better equipped to take a step back to re-evaluate a situation because they understand the art of patience and do not desire the spotlight like other Dragons. Therefore, Water Dragons tend to make smart decisions and are able to see eye-to-eye with other people. However, their actions can go wrong if they do not research or if they do not finish one project before starting another.
