"Not all Dragon babies are successful in life

Kuala Lumpur (The Star/ANN) - Certain dates in 2012 will not be auspicious for giving birth, a geomancy master has told China Press.

According to Chinese astrology, this is the year of the Dragon and many Chinese have joined in the rush, hoping to give birth to a "dragon baby" as it is viewed as an auspicious symbol.

Malaysian Institute of Geomancy Sciences (MINGS) founder Prof David Koh said every animal had its good and bad points.

"Not all Dragon babies are successful in life. It mainly depends on their date of birth," he said.

For this year, from the first month to the fifth month and the 11th month of the Chinese calendar are considered good months for giving birth.

However, children born on certain dates are prone to autism.

The dates are March 22, 23, 28 and 29; April 1, 2, 7, 8, 11, 12, 17, 18, 21-28; May 1, 2, 7, 8, 11, 12, 17, 18, 21, 22, 27, 28 and 31.

Other dates which are not so good are June 1, 6, 7, 10, 11, 16 and 17; Oct 22 and 23; Nov 1, 2, 11, 12, 21 and 22; Dec 1, 2, 11 and 12.
