The Tiger of 2010 is the mother and seed of fire. Therefore we have seen a strong recovery of the economy and a steady improvement in optimism.
This optimism lasted into 2011 as the Rabbit wood can still support fire, although as previously mentioned the power of the Rabbit is much weaker than the Tiger in generating fire.
So people lose confidence again from August of 2011 onward and in 2012 the total absence of fire may bring even deeper economic setbacks.
In summary the industries that will perform well in the year of the Dragon will be industries related to the Wood and Earth elements.
Wood industries are textile, fashion, consumer products, paper, books, environment industry, forestry, furniture etc.
Metal industry is active but not making obvious profit as their money element (wood) is absent. The metal industries are banking, machinery, engineering, computer and high tech.
Water industry will enter a year of caution with some instability factors as their money element of fire is totally absent. The sectors relating to water are shipping, communication, drinks, and spa. Earth industry will move ahead with conservatively as earth sees water as money, but sees Dragon earth as a competitor.
Fire industry including stock market, finance, energy and entertainment may not do very well as their money element of metal is absent and the strong water suppresses optimism in the financial market.
It's all about "how much you made when you were right" & "how little you lost when you were wrong"
