Today is Chinese New Year Day, the first day of a magnificent and overwhelmingly
happy and prosperous ‘Year of the Dragon’ – 23rd January 2012 to 9th February
2013. In China, the Dragon is the imperial symbol; the sign of the erstwhile
emperor and symbolizes the element Yang
– Fast, Hard, Solid, Focused, Hot, Dry and Aggressive and is associated with
Fire, Sky, Sun, Masculinity and Daytime. In the Chinese astrological cycle; the
highly beneficial ‘Year of the Dragon’ comes once every twelve years. And this ‘Year
of the Dragon -2012’ with Water element which comes once in every Sixty years is
all the more important, greatest of all the years, it is the most-awaited year
as it is predicted to be a great one for everyone and especially for those born
in the earlier Years of the Dragon and who will be born from today onwards
until 9th February 2012.
It is strongly believed that people born in the Year of the Dragon
carry a natural charisma and are gifted with power, health, wealth and luck.
They are said to be egoistical and ambitious, almost to the point of
megalomania, and will not stop at nothing to get what they want. They can be
successful as financiers, politicians, actors, singers, bankers and pharmacists
and quite comfortable in many other professions. I was born in the ‘Year of the Dragon with
Water element’! Six Dragon Years ago! However I do not wish to discuss now the
influence of the Year of the Dragon on me and my life so far. I am writing this
article to wish everyone including the lovely babies who have begun to arrive
in record numbers starting from today! ALL THE BEST!
