It turns out the 2012 will be the Year of the Dragon. Specifically a Water Dragon. Interesting turn there chinese astrology.

I then looked into my sign - I'm a Monkey... specifically the Yang Metal variety. While the Yin is inward facing I am yang.. outside facing.

(Geng) Yang Metal is outward piercing, intelligence that needs to know everything, aggressive and strong. Represent the coming of harvest in autumn; the fruit of plant has ripped. Like a sword being sharpen for war, Geng people are strong when compared to others of the same nature. They are sharp, determined, straightforward, strong-willed, does not admit failure easily. They show much enthusiasm and determination in whatever they do, may be too excited and rash at times. This is because they would not like to waste time thinking and contemplating, and once decided they will action without any hesitation. Synthesis says, Geng people exercise great comprehension, and will spare no effort in order to upgrade oneself. They can be proficient in a skill most of the time; apply and reap benefits from what they have studied or learn. Geng people are also very into cleanliness. They have a strong sense of justice, is disagreeable towards unfairness or hypocritical behavior. They also have a chivalrous heart, when they see others suffering from injustice, they will stand up to speak for those suffered with their eloquence, so as to get into favor of others. Shortcomings are stubborn; After having decided on something, will not change decision under whatever circumstances. Geng people are also careless, not paying much attention to fine details or feelings. They can also show no mercy for people whom they don’t like and hence will make enemies very easily.
