The Year of
The Black Water Dragon
The Year of The Black Water Dragon begins on January 23rd 2012 and continues until 9th February 2013.
These special Water influenced years are notoriously erratic in their outcomes, but nevertheless are considered fortunate time periods.
These Dragons indicate a transformational time for world events and important turning points for individuals – as well as a high degree of good luck. The calm perceptive nature of the Water Dragon will make it a good year that should also incorporate a few surprises.
Dragon years in Chinese Astrology are usually noticeable times of change when they involve Dragons associated with the other elements of Earth, Metal, Wood or Fire.
When, as in the case of the Year 2012, Water is the driving element influence, it still brings with it transformations – but they are calmer. This is because the Water Dragon has more patience than the other Chinese Dragons and is not so reckless in his decision making.
He prefers to evaluate situations before taking action and his domination of the Year 2012 will introduce only essential important changes. These may be when you least expect them, but you can be assured that they will be beneficial in the long term. Adjustments in society structures and peoples world views and development are highlighted during a Water Dragon year.
All years of The Dragon have a traditional association with new beginnings, happiness and good fortune – and 2012 is no exception!
The Chinese consider Dragon years to be the best times to get married, have children or start a business. There are lots of positive energies for growth at work in 2012 courtesy of the Water Dragon’s influential progressive spirit.
The Water element influencing this Dragon calms him long enough for him to emit his aura of positivity and direct it sensibly rather than recklessly. His influence will be concentrated in the right places and directed at those who will benefit the most from his lucky air of wisdom.
In a Water Dragon led year everyone should be inspired to contemplate the grasping of new opportunities and directions that may present themselves in 2012.
2012 promises to be a dynamic year with plenty of changes underway and the Water Dragon has a valuable message. He advises us to ensure we resolve old issues during this time and to aim to build strong new foundations.
The first few months of the Year of the Water Dragon will appear to be quiet and quite uneventful. Once the Spring arrives in 2012 this Dragon’s influence will be at its peak as this is this mythical creature’s favorite season. We will be reminded of our weaknesses and how to be resourceful and adaptable when faced with difficult challenges.
The period around May the 20th to the 18th of June will see the appearance of a Dragon Moon. This is when a Water Dragon’s perception is at its most intense and so creates a fortunate time to begin planning anything for the future. This short lunar period’s luck for initiating actions applies equally to society as a whole and to individuals.
The Summer and Autumn of the 2012 Water Dragon year is predicted to be filled with a steady flow of additions, corrections and positive developments. This is as the Dragon prompts adjustments and improvements with a sway towards less dependence on artificial foods and materials.
The remainder of 2012 is destined to be quieter giving a time of reflection to assess the first results of any changes.
This quiet year end may have a couple of unexpected occurrences that although unanticipated, are forecast to improve our environment. Any ideas generated in this favorable timespan are likely to be groundbreaking and highly advantageous to mankind’s future.
There are plenty of ways to take advantage of a Water Dragon’s reign on the year if we trust his intuitive vibes of optimistic fearless progression.
His message of reassessing situations and determinedly moving forward will make 2012 a year to remember for the enrichment of knowledge and understanding in many areas of life.
