SM Homeworld celebrates Year of the Dragon
MANILA, Philippines - The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend, and in ancient China, the celestial Dragon represents an emperor and power. Today, it is the ultimate auspicious symbol signifying potent, benevolent power, wisdom, wealth, and happiness.
The Year of the Dragon, which begins on Jan. 23, is considered particularly auspicious for new businesses, marriage and children. The Dragon, after all, is considered the mightiest of signs because it combines parts of different animals — the head of an ox, the muzzle of a donkey, the eyes of a shrimp, horns of a deer, the body of a serpent covered with fish scales, and the feet of a phoenix.
But of all the Dragon years, the 2012 Black Water Dragon is most likely to bestow the Chinese Five Blessings of Harmony, Virtue, Riches, Fulfillment and Longevity, adding even more weight to the growing belief that 2012 will be about breakthroughs and not disasters. Water calms the Dragon’s fire and since it bestows a more peaceful disposition, this Dragon will act wisely and intelligently.
Golden Dragon with a Red Ball. The Dragon stands for courage, prosperity,determination and completion luck that relates to all four directions of north, south, east and west.
