Chinese Zodiac For 2012
We are just about a month away to the Year of the Dragon and many of us will be interested to know the zodiac sign change in 2012. Jo Ching, Principal Consultant of DestinyAsia Global Consultancy, shares with us the year of dragon outlook for your family and you.
| Animal Sign |
Birth Years |
Outlook for 2012 |
| Dragon |
2000, 1988, 1976, 1964, 1952, 1940 |
Avoid speculative investment and venturing into new business as the dragon is in conflict with the Tai Sui, the ruling energy for this year. This will result in cash-flow problem and unnecessary tension among partners. You tend to be more injury-prone. Pregnant ladies and small children have to be extra mindful of falls. |
| Snake |
2001, 1989, 1977, 1965, 1953, 1941 |
A year of positive energies specifically for the men who will meet a lot of helpful people and receive good career advancement. Snake people including ladies will enjoy good romance luck and relationship. A word of caution is that you need to secure your belongings whenever you are traveling as you will lose a sentimental and precious item this year. |
| Horse |
2002, 1990, 1978, 1966, 1954, 1942 |
You must get yourself covered with hospitalization or travel insurance as a form of safeguard this year as there is a possibility of meeting with accident, natural disaster and serious illness when you are oversea. Do not take short cut just for the quick bucks. This will land you into unnecessary legal tussle and dispute. |
| Goat |
2003, 1991, 1979, 1967, 1955, 1943 |
It is a blessed year for the ladies in terms of their pursuit in higher education, career switch and business opportunities. For the men, you will need to tread with care in all your dealings with women especially relationship issue. Do not cross the line if you are already married. If you are above age of 50, please go for your medical check-up as you are susceptible to acute cardiovascular illness. |
| Monkey |
2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944 |
You will have an upper hand against your opponent in any form of competition. You can also contemplate dabbling in speculative investment like forex and stock markets. Starting a business in 2012 will give you a good headstart. As the star of backstabbing is also revolving monkey people, you need to toe the line and stay away from gossips. |
| Rooster |
2005, 1993, 1981, 1969, 1957, 1945 |
The energy of the dragon year and Rooster person are in harmony. This implies that you will receive very good support and help from your boss, friends and women. You are radiant and you exude very strong charm which appeals to opposite sex. However, you have to exercise self-control because the star of peach blossom tends to create sexual problem. Teenagers must be mindful of this |
| Dog |
2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, 1946 |
A very challenging year for you in all aspects of your life. This is because the dog is in direct confrontation with the energy of the dragon year. Avoid dangerous sport, avoid being a guarantor for loan, avoid going to casino to gamble and avoid starting a business with a partner. It is advisable to be prudent and conservative in your plans. This is the best solution. |
| Pig |
2007, 1995, 1983, 1971, 1959, 1947 |
A very auspicious and prosperous year for the Pig. All the powerful lucky stars such as The Emperor are shinning on you. Take a bold step to pursue your dream. Remarkable year for academic pursuit and examination luck too. Those seeking romance will encounter love-at-first-sight. People in leadership position will see an increase in their authority and power. |
| Rat |
2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948 |
The main concern this year is the recurring health problem that needs to be attended to fast. Presence of the White Tiger star usually implies blood related accident or injury. You can go for blood donation or extraction of wisdom tooth to avoid it. Parents need to pay more attention to the kids’ health as a result of poor immunity. Nevertheless, rat people will still enjoy good career progression, fame and money luck with the blessing of good stars. |
| Ox |
2009, 1997, 1985, 1973, 1961, 1949 |
There will be new opportunities in your career but be mentally prepared that you may need to pack and go to a new unchartered territory. Emotionally you are affected due to the unsettled feeling and sense of solitude. You will also be worrisome because of family matters relating to the elderly. Staying positive and taking up a course will help to alleviate such anxiety. You will still see the silver lining. |
| Tiger |
2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962, 1950 |
A year filled with movement and changes ranging from moving house, office, department, new assignment, traveling and even migration. Quite a hectic year for tiger people. Do buy travel insurance as a form of safeguard as the chances of getting into accident is very high due to the presence of negative stars like Sky Dog. This star also increases the risk of miscarriage for those who are pregnant. Be careful and you can avoid it. |
| Rabbit |
1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951, 1939 |
Politics in office is something you might want to watch out for. Do not be too naive. Your friend may suddenly turn out to be your foe. Fortunately, there are nobleman stars that will come in to lend you a hand when you are in trouble. Pay more attention to your kids’ health as they will fall sick quite easily. |

Thumb Versus Pacifier: Which Is Better For Your Baby?
Why Babies Need to Suck
Sucking is a natural instinct and behavior for infants. They do it to be nourished and fed. Many people might find sucking an unpleasant act. According to experts, this behavior gives the following benefits and setbacks:
Advantages of Sucking:
- Sucking creates a soothing effect in moments when children are not at ease or are uncomfortable. It helps them to fall asleep and calm down.
- Sucking satisfies a baby’s normal reflex.
- Infants learn about the things around them through their mouths and sucking is a form of exploration.
Disadvantages of Sucking:
- Sucking can be addictive. The longer the habit, the harder it is to curb it.
- Sucking may cause abnormal teeth development as the growth of the tooth follows the thumb or the pacifier instead of the original gum line.
- Speech problems such as lisp may develop
- Sucking cause children to breathe with their mouths, and this may bring about colds and sore throat.
Thumb Vs. Pacifier
Sucking is inevitable that parents resort to just letting their babies suck their thumb or buy pacifiers to replace the finger. The question about sucking is then set aside and the question about which is better, the thumb or pacifier, now arises.
The Pacifier
Pacifiers are usually called dummy nipples which are made of plastic, silicone and rubber. Generally, they are made to have a teat, a handle and a mouth shield. The latter is constructed to prevent the infant from swallowing it or choking on it.
The use of pacifiers has already been questioned because it usually interferes with breastfeeding. Babies generally get used to sucking their pacifiers and would rather opt to suck the thing than to feed on the mother’s breast. On the other hand, the use of pacifiers during the early months may not cause dental problems but for prolonged usage, the teeth may not come out properly or may slant outwards. Another disadvantage caused by pacifier use is linked to ear infections especially when babies are allowed to use them during and beyond bedtime.
But pacifiers are not at all bad for the infant. Experts have revealed how these materials are able to reduce sudden infant death syndrome; are easier to stop than thumb sucking because they are disposable; and can soothe and calm your baby.
The Thumb
It is a common knowledge that thumb sucking does not have to be very expensive compared to pacifiers which need to be changed and purchased in times when parents find them no longer efficient. The use of thumb initiates independence because babies can just grab on their finger when they need to suck.
Moreover, thumb suckers are also considered as the best sleepers because the relief brought about by sucking the thumb is unequaled by pacifiers which can fall to the floor or can be caught in between mattresses. Aside from these cons, the thumb is readily available and does not need to be cleaned and maintained so hard like pacifiers.
One of the disadvantages of thumb sucking is irritation of the skin usually the skin around the thumb gets red and itchy and may develop rashes due to constant wetness. Thumb sucking can also be a cause for social problems since thumb suckers are generally bullied and ridiculed in school.
Parents can always decide between the thumb and pacifiers when it comes to satiating the sucking instinct of their children. It does not really matter which between the two will be used. What matters is the sucking comes in moderation and should be stopped after the child has reached four years old or as soon as he can get over the sucking reflex.
