The Year of the Dragon

If you Googled anything yesterday, you might have noticed the dragon. Yesterday marked the beginning of the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon.


In the lunar calendar, each year is represented by one of the 12 zodiac signs, which take the form of animals. The 12-year cycle rotates and when a new year dawns, people, especially the elders, analyze the relationship between their birth year zodiac sign and the new year’s sign to find out their fortune.

The dragon, the fifth animal in the system, represents hope and courage. According to zodiac analysis, people born in the Year of the Dragon, though ostentatious at times, are active, adventurous, pioneering, romantic and generous. Their cheerful spirit is contagious and encouraging.

May the Year of the Dragon be a hopeful and courageous year for everyone!
