The Year of the Dragon 2012
West: Jan. 1, 2012 — Dec. 31, 2012
East: Jan. 23, 2012 — Feb. 9, 2013
I am the eye of the storm
The source of all beginnings
The unpredictable wizard
In charge of chaos and stability
I carry the torch
I move the immovable
I balance the scales of justice
And control the outcome
My courage
Makes me the key holder
I AM 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.
The United States 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 its Saturn 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.
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.
Canada will face unexpected changes that are directly linked to its allies 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.
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.

Dear Eugenia
I have had a hard time committing to any one job except day-to-day labor. I also do not know if I can trust my wife, dob 2-11-84, she says she wants an open marriage. We have one child dob 7-31-03 12:30 am and she wants to home school him but I think a regular school would be better. Should I stay to protect my child? I was born June 4, 1983 at 8L30 PM.
Gemini
Dear Gemini
The comparison with your wife is adequate and it indicates that she can be trusted. The only deception between the two of you is emotional and that’s because you are not communicating about the way you feel about one another.
Your son’s chart compares well to both you and your wife however it is apparent that she is the one who is likely to make him accountable for anything he does wrong. He will suffer if you day school him between the fall of 2012 and the fall of 2014.
He is a lucky boy to match up so well to both parents and it would be such a shame if the two of you cannot come to terms with your relationship. I believe you owe it to one another as well as to you son to seek marriage counseling.
Regarding your work habits. Your chart indicates a lazy irresponsible attitude, which is why you prefer day-to-day jobs. I doubt very much that this will change throughout your life.
Dear Eugenia
For the past year or so, your Capricorn horoscopes have said that this is my time of harvest, will this finally come to fruition. I have no idea what that might be but am hoping that my time of harvest involves money; getting not losing. What exactly does my financial future look like and when might I expect it? I was born January 13, 1947 at 2:25 PM.
Capricorn
Dear Capricorn
The harvest for Capricorns began last June and will remain there until mid June. This means the Goat has been experiencing a favorable Jupiter transit (Jupiter represent abundance). Unfortunately there has been a negative Saturn transit that has counteracted the Jupiter transit (Saturn represents discipline limitation frustration). The two together bring about uncertainty.
Astrology is like your personal roadmap. It is not used to predict as much as it is used as a timing tool. It gives you the highs and lows you are going through so that you can manipulate your way through life. Just because you have a good or a bad transit doesn’t mean you will automatically do well or do poorly. When the timing is right for you it’s important that you take the initiative to make things happen – if you do not make the effort the moment will pass you by.
In your case you were born with the Sun Mercury and Mars in the constellation of Capricorn in an area of your chart that can be quite fruitful or just the opposite. You were also born with your natal Moon and Neptune adversely angled to your planets in Capricorn, which doesn’t help your situation.
In other words what comes in goes out. I must admit however that the setup in your chart is one I sometimes see in those of people who come into money through inheritance, winnings or a settlement of some sort. Your lucky numbers are 8,13,17,26,35,44 for mega, power and lotto, Pick four 2,4,8,3, and Pick 3 4,5,8.
Dear Eugenia
I am divorced from a Taurus; we were married for 2 years. I was married to a wonderful man for 16 years, I’m sure the second marriage was due to missing my husband, he passed in a car accident in 2007. Since my divorce I’ve been on two online dates, and they never called me back. Is there something else I should be doing? I was born August 22, 1967 at 10:15 AM.
Lonely Leo
Dear Lonely Leo
Your chart indicates that you will do better looking for love elsewhere. The most prominent being while volunteering for a cause you believe in, joining an organization that interests you, offering your help to a political campaign or networking with people in your professional field; not through online dating services. Your chart is in a high cycle regarding love and romance until the early summer. You match up well to the signs Aries, Leo, Libra, Aquarius and Pisces. The sign Taurus falls in an area of your chart that deals with dead ends.
