Good Morning!
This is the beginning of the new lunar calendar. In celebration of
the Chinese New Year, I will be discussing the many wonderful
contributions the Asian cultures have given the world in relation to
alternative medicine.
Celebrating Chinese New Year: The Year of the Dragon
Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new
year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new
year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night
with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.

Prior to New Year's Day, Chinese families decorate their living rooms
with vases of pretty blossoms, platters of oranges and tangerines and
a candy tray with eight varieties of dried sweet fruit. On walls and
doors are poetic couplets, happy wishes written on red paper. These
messages sound better than the typical fortune cookie messages.
The Year of the Dragon - begins on January. 23, 2012
The lunar calendar has a sixty year cycle. In Chinese Astrology, the
five basic elements of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth, which make
up all matter, are combined with the twelve animal signs of Rat, Ox,
Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Lamb, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and
Pig to form the sixty year cycle. One's Chinese horoscope is based on
which lunar year in this sixty year cycle one was born.
The Dragon
Dragons tend to be popular individuals who are always full of life and enthusiasm, with a reputation for being fun-loving. They make good priests, artists and politicians. Usually very healthy and energetic. Full of vitality and enthusiasm, the Dragon is a popular individual even with the reputation of being foolhardy and a "big mouth" at times. They are intelligent, gifted, and a perfectionist but these qualities make them unduly demanding on others. However, their nature pushes them to be short tempered and stubborn from time to time. Lucky Numbers: 3, 4, 5, 6, 15, 21, 34, 35, 36 and 45.
