This lunar new year will be the Year of the Water Dragon. According to the Chinese Horoscope, this year is going to be a transformational and life-changing year. Generally, there are more positives in store for us in the year 2012 than 2011. It’s a good year to improve oneself, take calculated investment risks and to build wealth. The year 2012 holds much promise and may be a major transition in your life. Whether it turns out extremely good, or really bad, will depend on how you ride the mighty Water Dragon!
If you are not familiar with lunar new years, it may interest you to know that there are twelve zodiac animals which rotate with each new year - rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. You can match your birth date and year to one of these twelve animal signs, and, if you wish, find how to take advantage of the opportunities the Water Dragon year brings to your particular sign. Won't that be fun to know? Here are some interesting links to help you:
