Year of the Dragon

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

(...I hope I'm spelling that right...)

Happy Chinese New Year!

Today on the 23rd of January 2012 the year of the Dragon has started. So I drew a dragon for you. He looks a bit sleepy. The reason for that might be that I drew him in the morning before going to school.

According to this site the year of the Dragon will be a grand one:

"The Dragon is in fact the major symbol of good fortune in Chinese Astrology. The Dragon constellation, for example, is accorded the honor of being the guardian of the Eastern sky. According to tradition the Dragon brings in the Four Blessings of the East: wealth, virtue, harmony and longevity.

Indeed, of the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac the Dragon is the most special, as it is a mystical being rather than an earthly animal. It is sometimes called a karmic sign. In this context that means we can expect grand things this year. Bigger than life is very much a Dragon thing. There will be spectacular successes as well as crash and burn failures."

Sounds good. So let's get the party started! :)
