Dragon year is all about taking chances. So while we’re on the subject, what are the things you want to accomplish in this lifetime? Visit all 50 states? Climb Mt. Everest? We came up with a few things you might want to add to your bucket list – all based on the unique characteristics of your Chinese Astrology sign. 

It’s now or never, folks!

Rat: Start your own company.
That’s right. Finally take that brilliant business idea and turn it into something profitable. You’ve got the entrepreneurial spirit to succeed, so why not go for it?

Ox: Perform your talent live.
Whether you have a voice like honey or some serious dance moves, you’ve probably been hiding that talent from the public. Before you bite the big one, you might want to think about sharing it. Adoring fans await you. 

Tiger: Climb the Seven Summits.
You’re inspired by physical challenges, and this one is sure to light a fire under you. Imagine the sense of accomplishment you’d feel after making the trek to the highest peaks on 7 continents!

Rabbit: Learn to surf.
You’re probably attracted to the grace and beauty of surfing. Give it a shot. There’s something amazing about riding a wave for the first time – even if it’s only once in your life. 

Dragon: Audition for reality TV.
Admit it: You’d die to be on television. And with all the different reality TV shows, there’s got to be a niche for your talent. Top Chef? American Idol? Take the plunge. It could shoot you into stardom.

Snake: Take an “Eat, Pray, Love” retreat.
You know, where you go to Italy, India, and Bali and “find yourself.” This kind of adventure could really help you get in touch with your inner self and help you overcome some lifelong insecurities.

Horse: Finish a marathon.
You heard me. It’s the perfect challenge for your sign. Pick one that supports a good cause and start training with some friends. 

Sheep: Write a book.
Most Sheep have an interesting story to tell. What’s yours? If you’re true to your sign, you have the kind of creative talent to put your experiences or ideas into words. 

Monkey: Fly on a trapeze.
It looks fun, doesn’t it?! What better challenge for your sign than to “fly through the air with the greatest of ease”? Many cities now offer trapeze classes. Check it out. 

Rooster: Become a consultant.
Those who can, teach. It’s likely you have a niche that you can make money from by being a consultant. You don’t have to quit your day job, but think of ways you can share your knowledge with the world.

Dog: Go rock climbing.
Outdoor rock climbing, that is. Nothing will help you overcome your fears more than scaling a mountain! 

Pig: Lose that 5, 10, or 20 pounds.
Most of us could stand to tone up. If you’ve been struggling with your weight, it’s time to stop with the excuses and just do it! Invest in a personal trainer or nutritionist to help you slim down once and for all.
