Happy New Year and welcome to the Year of the Water Dragon!

The Dragon Year that is beginning from 23rd January 2012 is dramatically fast moving – there is no time to waste. Dragon Year is action driven and a time of major changes – “Better to do it than miss it!” – as opportunities will be arising suddenly and surprisingly fast.

Amid cheers and much rejoicing the arrival of Dragon Year will be celebrated by millions of people around the world, as this is a year of absolute positive energy and solid progress. Dragon steps in boldly where work needs to be done and stays there until it’s completed. It means you have a chance to make steady progress this year.

Dragon is colorful, vibrant and fiery; it favors fame, glamor, style, design, image and technology. Always think about the impressions that you make with others. Does your wardrobe need to be upgraded? Does your hairstyle need to be changed? Or do you require a new design for your business card. Look at all areas of your life – personal and professional – that you have neglected so far. Tackle all these issues immediately in 2012. The Year of Dragon is either good or bad, there is nothing in between. So, all your decisions should be either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ – there should not be anything pending.

In 2012, if you don’t support the things in your life that you usually take for granted, they can become significant problems instead. If you are neglecting an important area of your life it will become a priority this year, so better address it now.

During Dragon Year there will be major breakthroughs in the field of Green technology, high-speed transport and wireless technology. There will be significant advancements in the fields of fashion, art, cinema, sports, music and home entertainment. The Dragon year’s emphasis is on research, medical breakthroughs, education, training, cultural events & shows, life-style and personal growth.

Dragon Year reminds us to tend to our families and face our fears. During Dragon Year the focus is on family, personal issues and relationship… From what I am seeing for 2012 should create better opportunity for us to be able to take good care of our families. There is good news for those who lost their jobs in the past few years… it should be easier to find work this year, a welcome relief for many.

This is also an excellent year to start something NEW – may be business, job, relationship (personal or business or both) or projects, as most auspicious Heavenly Star # 6 is ruling the center sector of Ba-gua this year. This is also great year to get married and start NEW life. 2012 can be a year of tremendous foundational work, leading to soaring success in the future.

Many of the biggest stories in 2012 will probably be around the environment, as weather continues to wreak havoc in just about every corner of the world, causing flooding and massive fires and earthquakes. I am seeing volcanic eruptions, extreme heat and cold… basically a continuation, and perhaps even some escalation, of the environmental issues we faced in 2010 and 2011.

It is a year to be active and alert, to seize opportunities and to use individual talents. For all its problems and difficult moments, it has a lot of potentials. Overall, this will be a dramatic and eventful year with much happening on the world stage and I wish you all very Best and Success!
