The earth is turning constantly, one year has past, the new year is arriving. The flying star of 2012 has reformed to a new pattern, and it is different to the previous year.

The five elements in the chart are unbalanced, the domineering element is wood, then earth, then water, metal, with the fire element missing. Based on the theory of five elements birth and destructive cycle, metal cutting wood, wood conquers the earth.
2012 is a water dragon year. Reviewing history, dragon year always has a lot of ups and downs. It often appears more emotionally unstable than the facts actually indicate. The last dragon year was 2000. People feared that 2000 would be the end of the world, there was a big fuss about Y2K millennium bugs-- fears that computer could not shift from 1999 to 2000. It came and went without much of a whimper because of adequate planning and analysis of the situation. There is a motion picture “2012” and some prophecies predict that the world will end in 2012. However, from feng shui perspective, while 2012 will not be peaceful it will not be the end of the world.
Based on the elements and the flying stars of 2012, danger and opportunities will co-exist. Some people will go down, some people will go up, some will be up and down. Below is the forecast for 2012.
