Dragons give good luck

    I'm not big with the Chinese New Year as I am with original Astrology. But this year....is the year of the dragon. Dragons are supposedly creatures that appeared around the Middle Ages. Burning castles and breathing fire.  

    Sometimes they would burn down cities ala game of thrones. But are they good luck?

  Mostly any of the symbols in the Chinese Zodiac is considered good luck and fortune in their world. For us, Dragons have a mysterious way of bringing good fortune anywhere you go. The year of the Dragon might not be the luckiest symbol, but it's a symbol that brings a fortune for anyone that believes in good luck.

    In the Chinese Zodiac, there are different versions of the Dragon. Sometimes, it would be fire. Other times water or earth. This year, it's wood. Some people that are professional wood carvers would carve Dragon statues out of wood. They are pretty amazing depending on who carves. But what is the Wood Dragon?

     Wood or Wuxing as they call it, considered no matter what animal, has the strength and flexibility as well as warmth and generosity to grow and needs water for the growth. I'm not that good at predicting what wood dragons or pigs or oxeas need as I do with the twelve signs of Astrology.

 While the signs change by month, in Chinese New Year, they go by years and animals. We might one day go by water barrier and the next fish. One year it'll be an Ox the next a Rabbit. Both Zodiacs have similarities and differences. They also have water, earth, air and fire.

   In the Chinese Zodiac, they believe their animal brings good luck to whoever it falls on. For people born in the year of the dragon, they have a higher belief that there will receive good luck while others born on another animal believe otherwise. They say the golden dragon has good luck, but do rats or Oxeas or any other animal under the Chinese Zodiac?

 

 Maybe not every animal in the Chinese Zodiac brings good luck, but if you fall under the sign of that animal, it could mean the year will give you good luck as well as happiness. But I can't be the one that thinks if you were born under that animal, and it comes around later...you will be blessed with good fortune.

     They say the history of the dragon is mystical while others believe dragons belong in fairy tales. Does it mean this coming year will bring good fortune for anyone? No one knows, but I believe the spirit of the dragon and if it brings good luck or not is sacred. In my opinion, during the Chinese New Year, on the year of the dragon, brings brighter lulck to anyone who believes in it.
