Born in 2012: the Water Dragon (壬辰) in Korean Saju
2012 is a Water Dragon year — 壬辰 in the 60-year cycle.
Dragons are ambitious, charismatic and full of big ideas. In Korea the Dragon is the luckiest animal — it brings rain and success.
Water years shape people who flow — intuitive, adaptable and deep thinkers.
In Korean Saju the year starts at Ipchun (입춘), not on January 1. In 2012 Ipchun fell on February 4, 2012, 19:18 (Korea time, 10:18 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Rabbit.

- Long-Flowing Water — steady, long-term and far-reaching
In 2026 people born in 2012 turn 14.
