Year of the Dragon!

The Year of the Dragon is one of hope for those optimistic and eager to make the most out of the worst. A progressive, fast-paced and exciting year awaits anyone able to stir up momentum and keep it going.
The Dragon will not back down or be satisfied with anything less than first place. Innocent and somewhat naive, the Dragon will bolt headfirst into any potential opportunity that appears. There is no such thing as failure in the Dragon’s world, only a “try, try and try again” mentality that eventually finds victory.
In this year, the U.S. will continue to struggle until the fall of 2012, when the momentum that has been building in the political arena comes to a head and a creative vision of what’s to come begins to unfold for this great nation. After experiencing Saturn’s return, the re-evaluating will be complete and the alterations required to emerge a stronger nation will begin to take place. A tough year lies ahead, but with a little luck, justice and fair play will result in ample rewards.
Canada will face unexpected changes directly linked to its ally and partner south of the border. A strong collaboration between the two nations will be necessary to make the free world a stronger and better place to live.
The face of the United Kingdom will change during the Year of the Dragon. The tone was set during the last two months of the Rabbit and will culminate in the birth of a new era that will be revealed in the first half of 2012. After that, a change of power can be expected as the relationship between monarchy and government continues to evolve.
Discontent with the imbalance in the distribution of wealth will come to a peak. Without reform, unrest will fester and dissatisfaction will increase for the next couple of years as the standard of living is forced to even out to prevent worldwide revolution.
