The Year of The Dragon

"Come what come may, Time and the hour runs through the roughest day." ~ William Shakespeare

chinese new year About the Year of the Dragon:
The brilliant Chinese were the first calendar creators. Their Lunar New Year began in 2600 B.C. when Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the zodiac.

A complete cycle takes 60 years and is made up of five cycles of 12 years each. 

The Year 2000 is the Year of the Dragon. Other Dragon Years are 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000.

Many Chinese people believe that the animal ruling the year of a person's birth has a profound influence on personality and destiny. Famous Dragons include actor Bruce Lee and civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. Those born in the year of the Dragon are:

  • popular and able to do anything.

  • shine in whatever path they choose --medical, political, artistic.

  • powerful, natural leaders who are known for their accomplishments and success.

  • admired and able to motivate and inspire.

  • gifted with luck and love.

    affirmation: celebrate life!"He who waits for a roast duck to fly into his mouth must wait a very, very long time." ~ Chinese Proverb
