Dragon Baby

The year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac calendar begins January 23rd. Babies born in the year of the dragon are meant to bring luck to a family and according to Chinese tradition are high-spirited, fearless and destined for success.

More Chinese women are expected to try to time their pregnancies to deliver this year. This phenomenon of astrological influence on birth rates has been noted in the past with slightly lower Asian birth rates documented in years of the tiger (headstrong and difficult) and horse (rebellious).
