Chinese New Year celebrates the Year of the Water Dragon beginning Monday, January 23rd, 2012. According to Chinese culture the Dragon is a symbol of power, superiority and rule.
Chinese New Year symbolizes new beginnings and a fresh start. Socially, it is a family affair, a time of thanksgiving, reunion, forgiveness and sharing. Traditionally people clean their houses from top to bottom to get rid of old stagnant energy and make room for positive energy of the New Year.
As we usher out the mercurial year of the Metal Rabbit, we can anticipate a much more positive year of the Water Dragon. Good sources say not to worry; it’s not the ‘end of the world’ next year. The Year of the Dragon offers much more opportunities than meets the eye. In 1964, another Year of the Dragon, we saw many advances with regards to racial discrimination. This was the year the 1964 civil rights act came into being which was the start of change the world over.
You can hardly imagine a Chinese New Year without a brightly decorated dragon winding its way through the glittering parade route. The Dragon is in the center of the action. The Year of the Dragon offers opportunity to those who are flexible to adapt to change and can creatively approach new possibilities. The Dragon represents passion and self-confidence, bravery and generosity. Dragons are known for being gifted, intelligent, and tenacious. The Dragon leads with energy and determination, bringing with it prosperity and abundance. Famous Dragons include Al Pacino, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Marlene Dietrich and Matt Dillon.
Health Problems During the Year of the Dragon
Water in Chinese medicine represents kidneys. Water related illnesses could include kidney stones, sexual organ problems or urinary tract maladies. This could also mean back problems.
The absence of the Fire element for this year is also unfavorable for people who have health problems related to the heart. So please just be careful and remember to maintain a good diet and try to get enough exercise. This will be a fast paced year, so you must not let yourself work too hard so it adversely affects your health. Spend some time traveling this year for pleasure if possible.
If you suffer from a weak immune system or back pain it is time to seek professional help. Try to avoid stress . You will need to take care of your health and diet this year because this will be a fast paced year. You might want to think about giving up smoking , starting a better diet and getting more exercise to strengthen your immune system to prevent from getting sick.
