Year of the Metal Dragon

February 4th, 2000 to January 23rd, 2001

Are you ready? The Year of the Metal Dragon will be a year of grandiose ideas, pagentry, and larger-than-life actions. The mighty and mystical Dragon brings a time when open-minded and creative people can give full rein to their gifts and talents, as long as they are willing to go wild with their imaginations.

The undefeatable nature of the Dragon makes everything seem larger than life. It will be a year of excess and grand-standing, a year of more glamour than substance. People will take more risks than usual, and will have to watch their "eat, drink, and be merry" attitude doesn't thicken their waistline. Also, watch out for fires!

It's a year when almost everyone will want a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Travel will play a major role in many people's lives. There is also an emphasis on religion and spiritual development. Psychic development, astrology, and the mystery schools will all be popular.

Entertainment this year will be memorable. No expense will be spared on many different venues: movies, parades, costume balls, art exhibits, pageants, musical extravaganzas, and so on.

This is also a year of "Love at first sight!" Many will throw caution to the wind; and many of these whirlwind courtships will lead to a lifetime of happiness.

This will be a good year to get married, have children, and start new businesses, as the benevolent Dragon brings happiness and good fortune. One caution though, this year - it is best to mind your temper! Tempers will flare the world over, and everyone will revolt against restrictions. Try to keep your center when dealing with others, and put all this excess Dragon energy to good use.

How Will You Fare this Year?

The coming year will be a dynamic and high energy time for everyone. It does affect the different signs uniquely though. Depending on whether you were born in the year of the Dragon or the Goat makes a difference. Remember, when looking at the chart below, that if you were born in January or the first week of February, that you share the same Animal sign as the year before your birth year. The Asian calendar is based on lunar months.
