You're looking at a year of opportunities and challenges, and it's up
to you to be smart about it. The Dragon brings luck, and Water favors
the Rooster. You should also be happy that the coming year will be much
better than the last one -- indeed, the Rabbit is hardly your friend.
You'll probably do best by focusing on education, networking,
communication and travel, as these tend to bring good results in a Water
year. You'll also want to take care of important things during your
five favorable months. If you can play things right, you'll be fine.
Career
In what could turn out to be a so-so year, you actually have a lot of
control over your career. The Dragon often brings big changes, so
prepare to step outside the box and do some creative thinking. It's
possible to land that promotion, and it's feasible to switch career
paths -- you'll just have to take complete initiative. If there are
circumstances holding you back or skills you lack, now is the time to
charge forward and make improvements. Be alert for opportunities and
make it your mission to network with the right people. Finally, be
enterprising, step up to the plate and show your worth to the team!
Relationships
On the love front, it's probably going to be a busy year ahead for
you. Did you know the Dragon loves weddings? Well, actually, the Dragon
loves any reason to celebrate, so you might be attending some engagement
parties -- or even throwing your own. If you're single, this year
should stand out as a passionate, memorable one in which meaningful
growth occurs or a lasting relationship is started. If you're already
attached, you might experience some drama during your unfavorable
months, but you should be able to work through any issues just fine.
Demands on your time will threaten to diminish the romance, however, so
make sure you keep those embers burning.
Health
There may be times this year when you feel out of control (thanks to
the Dragon), and this may affect your mental and emotional state.
Because of this, be sure to take excellent care of your health. Channel
your energy into exercise, especially hardy sports such as kickboxing or
mountain biking. Release stress with a hard workout, and don't let your
diet suffer during any rough spots you may encounter. A clear mind and
strong body will be necessary if you want to meet your lofty goals this
year.
Wealth
It seems you could come out ahead in 2012, although it may not become
clear until the second half of the year. In the meantime, be more
resourceful than ever as you use your practical, conservative Rooster
tendencies to stay afloat. The Dragon may tempt you into making major
home improvements or buying expensive outfits. Instead, make use of what
you have. You might still be playing catch up from last year, so be
smart in this one. Then sit back and smile if that money rolls right in
during the second half of the year -- you'll have earned it!
