Happy New Year--Again!

Today (or yesterday depending on where you reside!) is Chinese New Year--the Year of the Dragon. It may be 2012 to us, but on the Chinese calendar it's 4709. New Years is twelve days ahead of Spring, when the new 'sign' actually takes affect (as in your birth sign).
This is a water dragon year--and water's color is black, so it's the black dragon year, too. (that's about the sum total of my understanding!).
There's so much mythology & legend around the dragon: the dragon is unpredictable, untouchable & we cannot see the head & tail of the dragon at the same time. Some might translate that to an unpredictable year ahead (can we say: understatement?!).
Anyway--new years wishes!
