A few years ago, I learned how to make the most well known of origami dragons. It was not too challenging, and looked neat. However, for the Lunar Year of the Dragon that began on Feb 10, 2024, I upped my origami dragon game with a much more challenging, and cooler looking origami dragon, as shown below along with the origami dragons I used to know how to make. I will still make them for a lot of occasions as they are quicker and easier, but for the special occasions, I have something a little more special to turn to!

A Metal Pig in a Metal Ox Year
Happy Chinese New Year! It is the Year of the Metal Ox, and today’s writing will be my personal notes on my horoscopes for the year of the Ox, which starts today on February 12th. 2021, and ends January 31st, 2021. I am a Metal Pig, and, the following are what the Chinese zodiac horoscopes hold in store for me that peaked my interest most, as read from the following top three Google search results with sign specific horoscopes written in decent English:
Happy Metal Rat Lunar New Year 4718!
Happy Lunar New Year! It’s the Lunar Year 4718, the Year of the Rat. It’s the year of the Metal Rat more specifically, and through this link, you can find what to expect for your sign.
A word of caution, though. According to lunar astrology, when the year is your animal year, it’s NOT your year! Just ask the Denver Broncos in a certain Super Bowl the last time it was the Year of the Horse! This is in contrast to Western thinking where when something is of your identity or symbol, it’s a good omen.
Don’t say you Rats haven’t been forewarned!

Some terms from archaeology and old art… but you can use findspot today for any object.
