FORECAST FOR 2012
The Year of the Dragon
|
 Dr. Mao Shing Ni, Ph.D., D.O.M., ABAAHP, L.Ac. 2012is characterized by Water Dragon energy occurring in an Earth year. A Water Dragon year is characterized by powerful forces that, when correctly channeled, can promote positive change. Energetically, the Water Element is dynamic, creative and forceful and represents the movement for social, political and economic change. The Earth represents generosity, encouragement and strength and signifies a desire for stability, community and goodwill. This year, expect a trend toward restoration of the economy and financial systems, and an increased focus on providing for the less capable. Adequate exercise for cardiovascular health and muscular strength is always important, but this year we need to pay particular attention to Water Element issues corresponding to the Kidney and Adrenals, and Earth Element which corresponds to Stomach/Spleen and digestion. For Water, practice meditation and stress-reduction techniques to help you relax and make it a point to get plenty of rest. To prevent Earth digestive problems like heartburn, abdominal bloating and hemorrhoids, avoid rich, fatty and deep-fried foods, dairy, sugar and excessive salt. Eat abundant fresh vegetables, particularly root vegetables like yams and sweet potatoes. Enjoy fruit, nuts and seeds, fish and poultry, and warming spices like ginger, cayenne and cardamom. When water in nature is properly channeled, it is useful for irrigation and generating power, but when water is out of control, it has powerful destructive potential including flooding, storm surges and tsunami. Inevitable tension is created when water wants to flow, but the earth refuses to move. Likewise when a desire for revolutionary and sweeping changes is in the air, society can turn very cautious and conservative. This is true of relationships too- positively channeling strong feelings and emotions can help us find harmony with others. A Dragon Year is generally good for launching new projects, initiatives and ventures. Share your vision with others, but remain conservative in your actions and projections. In the five-element creative cycle Water produces the Wood Element; therefore there may be an increased demand for wood industries such as natural textiles and apparel, furniture, forestry and lumber. The Earth Element creates Metal and so this year, metal industries like technology, heavy equipment and machinery, computers, precious and non-precious metals may also do well. Water Element industries like shipping, transportation and beverages may see only slight up tick despite the opening of a second Panama Canal to accommodate super container ships. Likewise Earth-associated industries such as agriculture, mining and construction will also see minor improvement. Finally, because the year is absent of Fire, growth in Fire industries like finance, the stock market and power plants is unlikely. To experience the positives and diminish the negatives in the 2012 Year of the Dragon we must symbolically build and dredge canals and remove obstacles in order to appropriately channel the flow of the powerful Water energy that will eventually benefit our lives. This is the same metaphor as balancing acupuncture meridians within your body; by activating and managing the flow of energy within the meridians, acupuncture brings nourishment, healing and balance to your being. Continue to cultivate patience, nurture your will and proactively manage your life in order to achieve health, peace and prosperity.
