On January 23rd 2012, it will be Chinese New Year, and the Rabbit will sleep, and the Dragon will awake, and will rule for the year. One of the reasons i’m really excited for 2012 is because it’s my year. I am a dragon, and Earth Dragon, and I feel it will give me strength in my future, and also because a lot will be happening this year (school, work, travel) and it might be a blessing to know the Dragon’s power will be strong this year.
I love mythology as everyone should know, but I learned so much more while researching Chinese Mythology. Here are things specific to me below:
THE DRAGON:
A symbol of good fortune and sign of intense power, the Oriental Dragon is regarded as a divine beast - the reverse of the malicious monster that Westerners felt necessary to find and slay. In Eastern philosophy, the Dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune and a master of authority. Therefore, those people born in Dragon years are to be honored and respected.
