The Dragon will enjoy a good year as one of the most favorable stars, the “Great Sun Star” is present in their charts. This star brings light and positive energy along with bright and clear opportunities. As we all know, the Sun is the ultimate power source and is the main source of energy for organisms and ecosystems. The sun’s rays have a way of removing negative energy and replacing it with positive energy. Therefore, when they find themselves faced with some minor obstacles and bumps along the way this year, they should step out under the sun for a while to recharge and get a fresh perspective. Basking for a few minutes under the morning sun should be included as part of their morning  routine this year.

Having the favorable “Advancement Star” in their charts even doubles the luck of the Dragon as this brings a lot of job and career potential. This could also open a smooth path toward upgrading oneself. They should assess where they are at now in their career path and in their life. If the answers they come up with are short of their expectations of themselves, then this year is the year they should seriously do something about it. If they feel that their career is in a rut, then they should consider  changing career paths. If they feel that they still have much to work on themselves then they should look into further studies or ways of bettering themselves. If they feel that their business is stagnating, then this is the year to look into making some changes or look into launching internationally or in other markets. 

If after their assessment they feel they are quite happy with where they are at this point in their lives, then well and good but they should not stop there. They should not let their ego get in the way and look for advice from their mentors or trusted advisors to see how they can further advance themselves. 

Having a Garlic Of Opportunity on their work desk will help open up these opportunities of advancement. 

The “Six Troubles Star” brings with it a lot of unwanted attention and envy. It will be good for the Drag- on to always be aware of their words and who are the people within earshot. The effect of this star is having them be the recipient of backlash and gossip without even uttering a single word. They have to be aware of who they take into their confidence as some people give more value to what gossip they can spread rather than the fact that they were trusted. It may be easy for them to get into quarrels with family and friends over the pettiest matters. This could even be the result of malicious stories by envious people. 

Therefore, they should go straight to the source and confront the issue before it gets blown out of proportion. Otherwise, they may be basing  their actions on facts that are not necessarily the true reflection of the situation. These pointless disputes, if allowed to get out of hand may even result in pointless lawsuits or legal conflicts. Thus, they should remember to choose their battles. They should also remember not to allow themselves to get distracted by these petty things otherwise it may negatively affect their health, or it may consume all their productive hours. 

The “Bad Qi Star” will give the Dragon bouts of feeling lonely and isolated despite being surrounded by people. This may negatively influence their emotions and mental state. This sadness or listlessness will pass as long as they remember what matters the most to them. Each one will have a different answer to that question. It will be good for them to do some self-reflection at the start of the year. To take it a step further, they can enroll in a self-realization course or go on a spiritual retreat. That way, they will be given the opportunity to set their priorities in order and determine what is important to them. This is so that when the feelings of disconnect arise, they will be able to draw from what matters most to them to keep them grounded. They should turn to their family, loved ones and core support group to keep them on the level. 

The Dragon also has the “Star of Void” this year. This brings superficial relationships that will prove to be disappointing. The presence of this star means that they have to be very discerning as a judgment error may cause losses. They, therefore, should not be complacent and be careful with the decisions they make. When they are out entertaining or networking, they should be generous but not lavish nor extravagant. 

This could also manifest as plans not going as expected. When making plans, say travel plans, it is okay to do so but don’t set it in stone and learn to adapt, as things may not go exactly as planned. As plans may fall through, it is best to be flexible and go with the flow. Don’t plan too tightly and be practical. For all they know, the change in plans may be blessings in disguise. For example, if suddenly the flight originally booked was not available anymore, rather than insisting on taking that flight, it will be better to look into other alternatives. Probably, the people encountered in the alternative flight may bring a better experience than the original flight.

From another angle though, this may also manifest as unpleasant incidents where last minute changes will come in. The likelihood of grand promises falling short will be high. For example, a client may be all ready to award a project, and then all of a sudden at the last minute they change their mind. 

For things to go smoothly and minimize the ill effects of these aforementioned stars, it will be good for them to have a Dragon Emperor Throne in their home.
