Xin Nian Kuai Le, 新年快乐 !  ”Happy New Year! 

Who doesn’t love reading about their future or get the latest horoscope advice from a newspaper or magazine?   I enjoy looking at what might be waiting for me this coming new year.   You never know???

As for the Chinese zodiac its a little different than our western astrology – it really explains the personality traits of each year in a 12 year cycle rather than a 12 month cycle.

*** 2012  The year of the Dragon***

A powerful sign, those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Dragon are energetic and warm-hearted, charismatic, lucky at love and egotistic. They’re natural born leaders, good at giving orders and doing what’s necessary to remain on top. Compatible with Monkey and Rat.

Dragons symbolize such character traits as dominance and ambition. Dragons prefer to live by their own rules and if left on their own, are usually successful. They’re driven, unafraid of challenges, and willing to take risks. They’re passionate in all they do and they do things in grand fashion. Unfortunately, this passion and enthusiasm can leave Dragons feeling exhausted and interestingly, unfulfilled.

While Dragons frequently help others, rarely will they ask for help. Others are attracted to Dragons, especially their colorful personalities, but deep down, Dragons prefer to be alone. Perhaps that is because they’re most successful when working alone. Their preference to be alone can come across as arrogance or conceitedness, but these qualities aren’t applicable. Dragons have tempers that can flare fast!
