THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON, 2012
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.
