The Year of the Dragon is generally fueled by excitement and intensity. The Chinese New Year of 2012 is the Year of the Water Dragon (thankfully), where the water influence exerts a calming influence putting out the usual 'fire' the dragon breathes. Water Dragons are charismatic and are much better leaders. It is a good year for starting a new business or project.
Famous 'Dragon' celebrities are John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Al Pacino and Matt Dillon.
