2012 -- or its equivalent on the Chinese calendar, 4709 -- is a year of the Dragon.
Many of you have seen the paper placemats at Chinese restaurants, showing the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. Theirs is a 12-year cycle. Each person born during a certain year has the attributes of that animal. (There's also a 5-year cycle of materials -- Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth -- that run concurrently with the 12-year cycle.)
I was born in a Year of the Dragon. What does it say about the Dragon? "You are eccentric and your life complex. You have a very passionate nature and abundant health. Marry a Monkey or Rat late in life. Rooster is great as well. Snake, sheep and pig will take little more work. Avoid the Dog and Horse. Ox will drive you crazy."
( But does this reflect me? )
