What the Year of the Dragon Means to us

Dragon, the one and only symbol of the emperor in four thousand years of Chinese history and the only mystical animal in the 12 symbols of the years, is the ultimate representation of prosperity, power, fame, and fortune. Because of its combination with the Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), this Year of the Water Dragon is considered an especially good year to be born in. It is also a year that will bring good opportunities and fortune for people who were born in other animal years.

I saw this on a Chinese news site and paid attention to what this year means to Bill, me, and Kai.

Rats (Bill & me)
The Year of the Dragon is a year for rats to evaluate, reorganize and set new goals. It's generally a very good year for rats. Rat people should work on maintaining and expanding social networks by communicating with others because it will help them gain more career opportunities and fortune. Career wise, rats should be on the lookout for better opportunities, but it's crucial not to rush into things.
Lucky colors: silver, aqua, and lavender
Lucky numbers: 6, 1, 9, 7 and their combinations
Lucky talisman: monkey, especially in white; material: silver, gold, or white crystal
*This is not a good year for rats to get married (good thing we already did).

Ox (Kai)
The Year of the Dragon is a great year for the ox in almost all aspects; however, oxen should slow down and take better care of their health.
Lucky colors: burgundy, purple, and cream
Lucky numbers: 9, 3, 1, 6 and their combinations
Lucky talisman: small dragon or snake
*This is not a good year for oxen to change jobs.
