The Mystical Mind

Year of the DRAGON

By Victoria Chasmar

Jan 23, 2012 starts the Chinese New Year. As the rabbit hops off into the moonlight, the Dragon breathes a sigh of relief and steps forth to claim his reign over the year 2012. Unlike the rest of the Asian zodiac the dragon is a unique creature. It is the only sign that is composed of many animals (camel, deer, ox, hare, serpent, carp, tiger, hawk, etc). Because of this it encompasses many traits and influences that a single animal cannot. Those born in a dragon year will have opportunities and luck in their lifetime.

GLOBAL FORECAST

What can be expected in a dragon year? On a global scale the dragon favors innovation, creativity, and theatrical pursuits. Grand schemes and enormous, possibly controversial, undertakings can be expected economically. Exciting astronomical events and new discoveries can be expected, as the dragon rules heavenly bodies and the cosmos. Those interested in metaphysical and mystical pursuits will find an expansion of ideas and offerings to enhance their abilities. Cultural activities and festivals will enjoy a solid fan base and will generate much conversation and public attention.

PERSONAL FORECAST

RAT

An excellent year for the rat. Opportunities will be present for advancement in career, improved finances, and personal success. This success should resonate for the next couple of years.

OX

You are a practical sign but Dragon energy is risk taking, so there are bound to be times of frustration for you this year. You may feel that there are unjust gains made by those less deserving and lacking in experience. Find relief with the soothing and balancing scent of lavender essential oil or try one of the many different forms of meditation to ease and release tension.

TIGER

There is nothing that the dragon can throw to the tiger that cannot be used to gain advantage. The tiger takes the dragon in stride and will find a stronger foundation by years end. Health is usually good and there is a chance of an exciting romantic involvement.

RABBIT

Your energy is very different then the dragon and it will be necessary to not get swept up in speculation and risk taking. Keep within your comfort zone with the tried and true and you will feel more at ease and centered.

DRAGON

How can the dragon in a dragon year not be favored? This is a spectacular year for you, especially if you are in an entertainment field. Expect good fortune to favor you in all aspects of your life. Opportunity for financial gain, person satisfaction, and love will be available to you if you choose. Taking things to the extreme can cause health related accidents, so be sure not to overextend your capabilities.

SNAKE

Although you may feel a strong pull to put your ambitious plans into action it is best to wait until your year (2013). Spend this one in observation. Follow trends and learn what you can from those around you. Next year will bring the energy you need for a successful enterprise.

HORSE

Dragon years favor the horse and you should find this year to be exciting with new projects and perhaps even an opportunity to travel abroad. Business will bring stimulating challenges and an opportunity for a change of situation as a result of work. There will be unexpected romantic opportunities this year.

SHEEP

This is a year of changes and challenges for the sheep. There will be many new ideas presented to you that will be challenging, as they will deviate from the tried and true. In business, legal or new technology will require extra effort. In the home there may be disruption as a result of unexpected events but romantically it is a stimulating and progress oriented year.

MONKEY

This is a year where your talents shine. Others will admire your abilities and you will find new opportunities and personal recognition. The creative energy of last year follows through this year with the possible launch of a new product. An unexpected romance with lifelong potential may present itself. Health is greatly improved. Overall this is an exciting year.

ROOSTER

You will feel refreshed this year as the heaviness of last year is shed. Creative energy and the ability to put your talents to constructive use will have you feeling like a new person. Your confidence will soar and personal relationships will be rewarding.

DOG

This is a year for you to work on personal independence. You will have to work through obstacles without the aid of others. This may feel like you are not getting where you wish to go fast enough but you will persevere. It is a wonderful year to explore long distance travel. Give yourself that change of scenery and refresh your spirit.

PIG

Expect steady growth on a personal and business level. There will be some excitement and plenty to talk about as a result of this socially stimulating year. You may find yourself redecorating or adding a unique feature to your home.
