2012 is the year of the Dragon – Happy New Year everyone! It’s the year 4709 by the Chinese calendar.

This is a “water dragon” year, which may mean things like more flooding, more natural disasters, and perhaps even continued cooling of the economy. It is also sometimes referred to as the Black Dragon or a Black Dragon year.

You can check out some information here for your new year (careful of all the ads!), and this story is a pretty good summary of what may lie ahead.

Spring Festival time is almost upon us again, and 2011 is the year of the Rabbit (Metal Rabbit, to be exact). People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog. According to Chinese tradition, the Rabbit brings a year in which you can catch your breath and calm your nerves. It is a time for negotiation. Don’t try to force issues, because if you do you will ultimately fail. To gain the greatest benefits from this time, focus on home, family, security, diplomacy, and your relationships with women and children. Make it a goal to create a safe, peaceful lifestyle, so you will be able to calmly deal with any problem that may arise.

Happy Year of the Rabbit 2011 and enjoy your Spring Festival!

It is time to enjoy wonderful food, good times, and remember those who have gone before us. Live long and prosper!
