Year of the Dragon

Dragons were born in the following years: 1904, 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012.

In order to better understand the characteristics of a person, there are many classifications in the world according to certain characteristics. Centuries of observations have shown a common character and behavior in the owners of the same eye color, the same blood type and the identical period of birth. One of the most common and studied classifiers is astrology. 

For example, Bazi astrology, which is popular today, uses the solar calendar, a dating system based on the change of seasons. In each year, in turn, some animal dominates. There are only twelve of them. From Bazza’s point of view, the change of year usually does not occur on the festive night we are used to from December 31 to January 1, but from February 3 to February 5 of each year. Accordingly, even if the New Year in the traditional sense for us has come, the year of the new animal, the figures of which are actively used in the gift industry and festive New Year’s decoration, will come only a month later. And those people who were born between January 1 and the first days of February still belong to the animal of the past year. There is often confusion here, but it is important to consider this when analyzing your year of birth in the Chinese horoscope. Today we will talk about the Year of the Dragon.
