2012 Feng Shui Tips for the Chinese Zodiac Sign of Dragon
Is your birth year represented by the Dragon energy in Chinese astrology? Are you curious about what's in store for you in 2012? Let's have a quick look at how feng shui can improve your overall luck in 2012, the year of the Water Dragon.

Be sure your zodiac sign is actually the Dragon, as Chinese New Year starts on a different day each year (and never on January 1). It is also helpful to know your birth feng shui element. Check your Chinese zodiac sign and element.

I will start with a word of caution first. The feng shui tips given here should be used with a discriminating eye as they are based on general predictions for your Chinese zodiac sign.

There is definitely much more to every human being that just the symbology of the year the person is born. Still, exploring these feng shui tips will definitely help improve your energy and make you more aware of the potential the Water Dragon 2012 year might have for you.

OVERALL: Even though 2012 is the year of the Dragon, a specific combination of elements make it a time for you to be cautious. The Water Dragon energy of 2012 can be both challenging, as well as beneficial for those born in a Dragon year. Usually, a zodiac sign can expect a very lucky year in its own sign. This is not the case in 2012 because of the positioning of two challenging feng shui stars. Still, with strong will and enough determination, as well as careful feng shui planning, you can enjoy a good year.

WEALTH & CAREER: It is best to be careful and cautious this year, as well as use strong feng shui protection and wealth cures. The Pi Yao is considered the most powerful remedy for one of the challenging feng shui energies in 2012, so see if you can place it in your home, and/or carry one as a personal amulet. Another good feng shui cure to counterbalance the effect of the second negative star is a metal bell or a singing bowl placed in the Southeast area of your home or office.

LOVE: While it is important to nourish and develop personal relationships, 2012 might not be the best year (for you) to dive into a new relationship. Stay calm, keep your spirits up no matter what, and definitely create a very good feng shui bedroom for yourself, a strong feng shui front door and happy overall energy in your home. Focusing more on self-love, rather than looking for love outside yourself, will help you go through this year with the least challenge.

HEALTH: The state of your health in 2012 will depend on your inner strength, meaning how well will you be able to weather the possible storms. Focus on the positive, avoid the negative, and create vibrant feng shui energy in your home. A statue of Kwan Yin or the Medicine Buddha can be an excellent feng shui enhancement for the Dragon sign in 2012. Be sure to also look into the various feng shui health tips and cures and choose the ones you feel drawn to.

PERSONAL FENG SHUI: Protective, calming and energy strengthening feng shui crystals (in jewelry or as feng shui amulets) will help you this year. Explore the properties of various crystals and choose the ones you like the most. Ammonite, Tourmaline, Pyrite and Amethyst are just a few suggestions of good feng shui crystals for the Dragon in 2012.

If you manage to stay calm and a bit detached this year, you can turn the challenging energy into a beneficial one and even have a successful year. Watch your personal energy, watch your surroundings (both home and office), and you might just have a very good 2012!
