As per the ancient Chinese legend, a monster
named Nian used to torment villagers by destroying their crop and taking away
their children. Nian, the monster had to be pleased by offerings of food so it
wouldn’t hurt the poor villagers. Salvation came when the villagers discovered
that Nian was afraid of the colour red and finally the menace of Nian was
brought to an end by scaring the monster away by decorating the doors and
windows of houses with bright Red paper cutouts and scrolls.
Since then, Nian became history and this
auspicious time of the year marking the end of evil, was celebrated as the
Chinese New Year to honour the blessings of heavenly deities and ancestors.
2012 is the 4710th Chinese New Year and as per Chinese astrology brings the
energy of the Dragon belonging to Element Of Water.
The energy of the Dragon symbolises power and
dynamism and the element of water harmonises or calms the fire of the Dragon
and adds a spiritual twist to the power experience. Overall, 2012, the Year of
the Water Dragon, is a great year for new beginnings, businesses, marriages and
relationships. Like the Mayan Calendar, even the Chinese calendar prophecy 2012
to be a dynamic year of Spiritual Transformation for the mankind and as we
enter the new spiritual era in February 9, 2013. Overall, the water dragon
hails good fortune for earthlings.
Work and business: 2012 heralds a year for
innovations and a time for new ideas to be born and a technological evolution
of sorts. Even the economic slowdown is symbolic of the transformation period
as the humanity is being persuaded not to chase money but to understand the
play of spiritual energy behind scenes and in fact the world is being led to
pour spirit into work.
The energy of the Dragon may increase expenses
hence awareness will bring things in balance. Love and relationships: The
Dragon is symbolic of La Passion and speaks of romance, rekindling love and
finding true love and the energy of the water dragon may dismantle
relationships, which are not based on truth and honesty. The Water Dragon
brings healing and harmony on the whole.
Physical health: The Water Dragon brings
healing and recovery and encourages all to adopt healthier lifestyles and
switch to healing foods to enhance physical wellness. Remember the Dragon brings
energy and Water brings healing so 2012 brings a time for well-being and
supports healing at all levels and spiritually, 2012 may bring challenges a
dragon must and can overcome.
The year of the Water Dragon is a time to
honour one’s true self and explore the world within to accomplish one’s unique
mission and explore the energy of your spirit and marvel at the discovery of
healing power of the Dragon within.
