01/23/2012 - 02/09/2013 (Water)
According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, which begins on January 23, 2012 and ends on February 9, 2013. The Dragon is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 Animal signs. The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. In ancient China, the celestial Dragon represents an emperor and power. Today, it is the ultimate auspicious symbol signifying success and happiness. May the celestial Dragon bring great good luck to everyone.In Sung Dynasty (a Chinese imperial dynasty lasting from AD 960 - 1279) texts, the dragon is described as having the head of an ox, muzzle of a donkey, eyes of a shrimp, horns of a deer, body of a serpent covered with fish scales, and feet of a phoenix. The dragon usually clutches a pearl symbolic of its super-natural powers. Invariably accompanied by thunder and rain, dragons move like lightning and whirlwinds - - all powerful yet totally unpredictable.
The Sign of the Dragon
People born in the Year of the Dragon share certain characteristics: Innovative, enterprising, self-assured, brave, passionate, conceited, and quick-tempered. The Dragons are the free spirits of the Chinese Zodiac. Restrictions blow out their creative spark that is ready to flame into life. So, they must be free and uninhibited. The Dragon is a beautiful creature, colorful and flamboyant. An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and irrepressible, everything Dragons do is on a grand scale - big ideas and extreme ambitions. However, this behavior is natural and isn't meant for show. Because they are confident, fearless in the face of challenge, they are almost inevitably successful. People born in the Year of the Dragon usually make it to the top. But, they must be aware of that too much enthusiasm can leave them tired and unfulfilled. They find pleasure in helping others, and you can always count on their help. Even though they are willing to assist when necessary, their pride can often impede them from accepting the same kind of help from others. Their generous personalities give them the ability to attract friends, but they can be rather solitary people at heart. Their self-sufficiency can mean that they have no need for close bonds with other people.
Dragon people tend to take thrilling risks, and burn the candle at both ends so they are fortunate to be blessed with good health. However, they can suffer bad health as a result of excess stress. Symtoms of their personalities often stem from emotional outbursts and can range from tension headaches to depression to hypertension. They can remedy these problems by maintaining their cool, implementing a routine in their daily lives, and practice meditation, Tai Chi or Yoga that soothe the mind and spirit as well as tone the body.
The Dragon is not the most domesticated of the Animal signs. So, people born in the Year of the Dragon prefer enjoying outdoor activities rather than staying at home. They are extroverts who have a deep love for nature. Their homes should be as large and majestic as their personalities, providing space for the fiery temperament or emotional eruptions that accompany their character. They have true and sincere love, which comes from the depths of their hearts.
Dragon people are quite imaginative, always able to see new paths and will take a radical approach. They have innate explorative spirit and try to succeed at one stroke. They are very adaptable and are fit for various occupations, especially if those occupations allow them to take the limelight. They work hard, but would rather give orders than receive them. They should avoid jobs that encompass too much routine, and should move toward jobs in which their self-reliance can be an asset.
People born in the Year of the Dragon like to spend money and are charitable themselves as well as with others. Many Dragon people will take big chances with their finances. It is very rare that they remain poor for long. They will always be straightforward in financial dealings and can always be trusted.

The simplest way to prove Chinese zodiac signs not determined by Chinese New Year days is to see your Chinese Astrology Birth Chart using your birthday and birth time.
Besides using astrology animal signs and basic fighting and attraction relationships, Chinese zodiac also uses Chinese astrology constellations, which refers to the way ancient Chinese grouped the stars in the sky to predict the coming fortune. More than 100 stars are used in the Chinese zodiac. There are about 60 commonly used ones. Each star has a different characteristic. Basically, they can be divided into Lucky Stars and Unlucky Stars, which are the major factors to predict people good or bad luck in the coming year.

Business Very Profitable in the 2012 Year of the Dragon
The year of the dragon is always considered to be a very successful year for business. However, because dragons are not careful with their money and spend everything they earn (dragons are flamboyant creatures), it will also be very easy to spend in 2012. So care should be taken to be doubly careful when ensuring that something is saved!
Dragons are also lucky with new beginnings. So this means that effort can be put into launching new ideas and new ventures because the energy of the dragon year will ensure that the venture will be successful. Money will be made. That said, I repeat that it would be a good idea if dragons, and others that made money in 2012, put a little aside for the future. Overspending is in the nature of the dragon, and therefore it will be a tendency for everybody in the year of the dragon.
Weddings are also a good thing in 2012. A marriage is a new beginning and because dragon years are good for new beginnings, any weddings will be doubly blessed if they take place in the year of the dragon. Water dragons will be doubly blessed.
Hype and Errors In the Year of the Dragon
At the best of times, those born under the sign of the dragon, are sometimes a little more prone to stepping out of time with their environment. It’s best to be a little cautious during the year of the dragon as this will make everybody more prone to putting their feet on the wrong path. Many will splurge and lack caution in their ventures because it seems easier than before. And new ventures will mostly flourish. Just don’t let the exuberance of the dragon lead to overlooking important cautions.
Temptestuous Tempers
There might also be a lot of lost tempers around as the dragon person is not wonderful about retaining self control at all times. This could mean that countries are also unfriendly to each other, and that business might find it splits into factions because the dragon year can be one that fosters divisions. Fortunately, dragons quickly recover from their tantrums, and so healing and reconciliation will be a little easier than it was previously.

If you want a specific reading for the more personal details in your life, you are either going to have to go to someone who specializes in Eastern astrology or buy a book. Remember that your sign is a combination of two things - the year you were born plus the element you were born, e.g. wood dragon, a metal rabbit (like me), or a an earth snake. All of these, while have a different relationship with the Year of the Dragon.
The Chinese Zodiac
Like western astrology, Chinese astrology isn’t quite as simple as it looks. Although one is a particular year, that year only reflects what one looks like from the outside. On the inside, one might be completely different. Like western astrology, there are many possible combinations. All in all, there is a sixty year cycle comprising five elements and twelve animals, with twelve months to the year, and each twenty four hour period divided into twelve different periods. This adds up to 8,640 different possibilities.
The Rat. Positive characteristics are direct, persistent, intense, perfectionist, charming, intellectual and sensitive. On the down side, the rat can manipulate others, be malicious towards others, and go through periods of self-destruction.
The Ox. Born to leadership. Reliable and generally calm. Good to have around if there’s trouble as takes things one at a time and gets the job done. Very traditional. Can have a temper, though, and incredibly difficult to move from their point of view.
The Tiger. While the tiger is a humanitarian with strong passions, because they are not wise in their decisions, things can go astray. They are strong, passionate people, brave in the face of terror.
The Rabbit (Cat in Vietnam) is refined in all things, kind to others, is confident, shy, and intuitive. They can appear superficial and self-indulgent to others. They take advantages of opportunities and are lucky.
The Dragon is noble, eccentric, artistic and loyal to others. They can be intolerant and tyrannical to others. The dragon is the sign of the Emperor.
The Snake is a deep thinker to whom wisdom matters. There’s a grace that is instantly noticeable by others with a natural elegance. They speak gently to others and are creative. They tend to be loners and can be hedonistic and not always honest.
The Horse is a happy, witty, earthy, chatty, communicative person. There can be a streak of arrogance and they can be gullible.
The Ram is known for empathy to others, is artistic with a peaceful nature. They seek security but can be indecisive and pessimistic.
The Monkey is the inventor of the Zodiac. They’re sociable, polite, have an innate sense of dignity, prefer facts to fiction, and have an intellectual outlook. They can also be vain and snobbish.
The Rooster is very organized, self confident, traditional, and opinionated. They tend to be critical of others and can be proud.
The Dog is honest, loyal, direct to others, with a well-developed sense of justice. They like to be friendly. They also be lazy and argumentative.
The pig is honest and brave, likes things to be peaceful, and works hard. There’s a tendency towards being naïve. Materialism is innate to the pig.
