DRAGON BRINGS WELFARE

We celebrated the arrival of the Year of the Dragon - 2012 - in gold and platinum jewellery featuring this lovely creature. Men wore rings shaped as a snake and other amphibians, while women wore not only rings but also bracelets, earrings and necklaces. Men wore snakeskin shoes, while women wore dresses of bright colours - red, green, blue and yellow - and were "armed" with snakeskin or black handbags, because it is the Year of the Black Water Dragon. We made wishes, drank champagne, watched television, partied and had fun in a noisy company. And now we are waiting for one thing - happiness and success. And it will favour us, if we often think about this regal animal, revere him and dress as he likes all year. And as the animal has a good taste, "it is worth avoiding outright cheap stuff, neon plastic and other summer hits of teenage fashion," designers recommend. "As for stones, diamonds are the best friends not only of women but also all other lovers of luxury and splendour, and are always relevant. Also, jewellery with the stone Dragon's eye is also becoming incredibly popular. This affordable semi-precious brown and red stone, according to experts, helps us to overcome obstacles, filling us with vital energy and increasing our endurance. In addition, the traditional stones of the Dragon are opal, amber, sapphire, and chalcedony. By choosing jewellery from these stones, we will not only look elegant and stylish, but also attract luck all next year!" These expert recommendations fill almost all the glamorous websites on the Russian Internet.

What do astrologers predict?

Remember! Man is free to choose and almost everything depends on him. How to live in 2012: by the horoscope or not? You can just follow its recommendations or choose a tortuous path. According to astrologers, it is difficult to clearly say what 2012 will be like. But they still enumerate the main processes that expect humanity. First, in their opinion, in the oriental calendar, 2012 is the Year of the Black Water Dragon, who does not tolerate teasing. So be respectful to the dragon. This year, solar activity will also be high, because it is a leap year. Some scientists suggest that because of the unprecedented powerful solar activity, we may experience local power outages due to the failure of power plants. Astronomers also expect a parade of planets this year, in which the Earth, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter will line up. According to some interpretations of Nostradamus' predictions, 2012 will see the peak of the world political and economic crisis. And to top it all, a total solar eclipse is expected in 2012!

But is it worth worrying about all this?

Although the Dragon is an extraordinary and unwavering creature, the year will be largely peaceful and successful. The Year of the Dragon will be beneficial to family affairs and very good for marrying.

According to the oriental calendar, the Dragon is a strong and powerful being, can become a powerful patron and wreak havoc. The Black Dragon represents a powerful primitive element of the water flow, which we will need to learn to manage.

Many Chinese people would love to be born in this year, as the Dragon symbolizes happiness, luck, good health and a high position. Since ancient times, the Dragon has been a symbol of Chinese emperors, the sons of heaven. This year brings dynamism, vigour, drastic changes and fiery passion. The Year of the Dragon, as mentioned above, goes well with colours like black, gold and blue (cyan). The element is water, which is inherently mobile, dynamic and volatile.

This is not the end of the world!

In terms of cosmic cycles, 2012 is karmic. Astrologers believe that the Mayan calendar does predict the end of the world, but the beginning of fundamental changes that must take humanity to another level. Global changes, above all, must take place in the hearts and minds of people, and the future depends on where they will be directed (at destruction or creation).

The Dragon is one of the most victorious, strongest and luckiest characters of the oriental horoscope. Sometimes they say that people born in the Year of the Dragon are born "with a silver spoon in their mouth". He is fierce and aggressive in everything, and is a fighter and winner. He has been given a lot, but he also shoulders great responsibility. So success will favour many signs this year. The Dragon brings four benefits: wealth, virtue, harmony and longevity.

Thus, after the relatively quiet Year of the Rabbit, festivity and struggle will return to our lives in 2012. But astrologers recommend that we should not forget about the fact that the Dragon is prone to exaggeration. Half of the opportunities he offers will not be as significant as it seems at the beginning. Nonetheless, astrologers say, many great and glorious deeds are done, a mass of bold and fresh ideas appear and a whole series of ambitious and daring projects are launched under the protection of the Dragon.

Easily and instantly

As the Dragon is primarily the keeper of wealth and treasures, the most promising prospects await wealth producers and financiers in his year. Work will be easy to do and be rewarded instantly. Money will be immediately invested in new projects, so if anyone has plans to obtain a loan for a specific business, they can easily count on a positive solution. Those who are cautious and prudent, are taken as an example and are usually admired will become an object of ridicule this year. Heroes of the year will be gamblers and adventurers, whose motto is "all or nothing" - the main rule of the Dragon. Under the influence of the Dragon, even many reasonable people will start to act more decisively, often overstepping the mark.

All kind-hearted people who lead a righteous life and those who stand out among the total mass with at least some talent will be given happiness and luck by the Dragon.

Do not forget that the dragon can easily refuse to patronize losers. He may bless the beginning of any business and even help with a number of advantages that are usually not available. But if the owner of the project relies on luck only, is lazy or makes unforgivable mistakes, he will be punished.

Most of the devastating events happen during the reign of the Fire Dragon. Fortunately, 2012 will take place under the sign of water. It is supposed to be quieter.
