2012: Not So Scary After All?

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Hollywood has given us many visions of the end of the world, one of the most recent being in the movie 2012. Even without this fuel, there are many who fear that the Mayan calendar, which ends on December 21, 2012, is proof that the upcoming year will bring about Armageddon. But Marina Lighthouse, well-known feng shui expert, has evidence from another ancient culture that not only will the world keep going, it can flourish!

According to Chinese astrology, the Lunar New Year, which began on January 23, marks the beginning of the year of the Water Dragon. The last Dragon year was in 2000, which was preceded by the panic of the Y2K bug. It was supposed to be the end of technology and, as a result, the end of the world. The clocks struck midnight, the calendars turned to 2000, and then ... not much happened.

There are 12 animal signs in Chinese astrology, each with a different character and significance. Whichever animal rules a particular year lends its characteristics and inclinations to the tone and events of that year. Based on her knowledge and research of Chinese astrology, Lighthouse states, "The year of the Water Dragon symbolizes innovation and rewards those who take action and initiate new projects and ideas."

In her new eBook, Chinese Astrology Predictions and Feng Shui for 2012, Lighthouse reveals that the year of the Water Dragon will be a welcome change for those seeking new growth and opportunities after the cautious year of the Rabbit in 2011. Though she says to remember, "There will still be many ups and downs and Dragon years tend to be dramatic, so it is recommended that people implement special feng shui cures and enhancers to avoid problems in the upcoming year." Such adjustments are featured in the book.
