As the Year of the Rabbit hops away, this Monday we usher in the Year of the Water Dragon, which according to World of Feng Shui boutique director Liew Shaw Pin will be a transformative and improved year compared to the past two years.
MANILA, Philippines - Those who subscribe to Feng Shui and consult their Chinese astrological charts for the Year of the Water Dragon (which will begin on the 23rd of this month) are now busy prepping up their homes with charms and such for an auspicious year. 2012 is, after all, a dragon year, is supposed to be the most robust and the only non-animal symbol among the signs.
The coming Year of the Water Dragon will be highlighted by a lot of significant changes, according to Feng Shui expert Laurence Yap. Since the dragon is seen to be aggressive, conflicts will still dominate the rest of the year while we see successes from those who really work hard.
Like the Chinese symbol for danger, the color black represents opportunities for success for adventurous spirits in the Year of the Water Dragon, a Cebu-based feng shui hobbyist said recently.
