YEAR OF THE DRAGON
Sage Woman — Winter 1999/2000
Mighty Dragon flies down from Heaven on the second new moon after winter
solstice on February 5. Prepare for an exciting, magnificent, but perhaps
overwhelming year. Transformation marks the beginning of the year of the
Dragon. 2000 will be time of power, passion, drive, ambition, and daring.
Life feels as if all events are magnified tenfold. Dragon year is an excellent
time to take incredible risks, start a business, marry, or have children.
But unrealistic dreams and fantasies will crash. On a global level expect
dramatic changes such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tidal waves.
In the West, the dragon symbolized a hideous beast that represented the
worst moral qualities. In Asian cultures, Dragon was not a demonic creature.
Instead, it was the most sacred mystical animal throughout thousands of
years of Chinese history, and associated with imperial majesty. Dragon had
magnanimous and spiritual qualities, and symbolized royalty, prosperity,
and wisdom. Dragon has magical attributes and can change shape and transform
into any type of creature. Benevolent Dragon is a protector of temples and
monasteries. Click for more... |
