Happy Chinese New Year, and welcome to the auspicious year of the Dragon! or in other words 恭禧發財
There are 12 Chinese year-based horoscopes, starting with the Rat and continuing through the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and finally the Pig
Now I was born in the year of the Dog, and according to one Chinese astrologer, the Dragon always means a rough year for the Dog.
However with his nose to the ground, the Dog can get a lot out of 2012. This same astrologer also predicts the Dog will discover who his real friends are, and he recommends that the Dog stand up to challenges in his career. Although the Dog may suffer anxiety this year, he will make it through with meditation and thrift,
I wonder what this astrologer would predict for the thousands of dogs in Ireland, that through no fault of their own are going to be dumped, surrendered, or just generally mistreated, as the recession that has taken a grip of this country gets worse, with the family dog usually the first to suffer.
Let’s hope that if they too keep their noses to the ground they can get a lot out of this year, and discover who their real friends are, and even if the year started out with anxiety in their lives that they not only make it through this year, but have plenty more happy years in the future, Dragon or no Dragon !
