Force and power are the symbols
attributed to the Dragon. There is a decidedly exotic air about Dragon
people, especially among the women, who fairly exude sexuality. Indeed,
whether male or female, Dragons are libidinous and score quite a hit
with the opposite sex.
To the Chinese, the Dragon is
born in the most desirable year, blessed by the gods and goddesses in heaven. Possessing magical powers, the versatile
Dragon is capable of soaring to the highest heavenly heights or diving to the
depths of the sea. On one hand shrewd, healthy and full of vitality, the
Dragon also possesses a mystical side, intuitive, artistic and strangely
lucky. However, Dragons can plunge pretty low, becoming irritable,
stubborn and impetuous. The Dragon's mystical allure may become a
bit too other worldly, making him or her difficult to get close to.
A Dragon's unsatisfactory love life may lead to a string of loves and
marriages. Believing themselves invincible, Dragons must beware of excesses,
for with their uncommon strength, they can harm themselves, or "scorch their
wings."
Flexible and accommodating,
they fit in with whatever is going on around them -- but for only as long as
it suits them. This is because they are self-determined types and don't take
kindly to being dominated by others. Although seemingly affable and
agreeable, they can be as ferocious and dangerous as the mythical beast on
whom the sign is based. Temperamentally, Dragons are somewhat hot-headed and
quick-tempered; when angered they will give as good as they get. Dragons can
also be hypercritical if things are not quite right or not up to their
expectations. Dragons are idealists and perfectionists; they demand a lot
and they give a lot.
Enthusiastic to the point of
impetuousity, Dragons have big mouths. Their words overrun their thoughts,
and their hearts run away with their heads. This often causes social blunders.
Another difficulty for the Dragon is that life experiences are very intense. There are no
casual friendships for Dragon; every interaction is a continuation of heavy pastlife karma that must be resolved now,
as if ten lifetimes were being lived out in the current incarnation. Intellectually, they are
clever, bright, sharp people, yet on occasion they will throw all logic to
the wind and follow their hunches. Fortunately for them, they are strong on
intuition and invariably all works out well. In a confrontation, Dragons
have a tendency to misjudge the situation, and are not too adept at
extricating themselves from difficulties. Interestingly, no matter what
surprises Fate may have in store, whatever difficulties or hardships these
people may encounter along the road, Dragons will always ultimately land on
their feet. They will be a success wherever they go, regardless of their
chosen careers.
Dragons may devote themselves
to a great cause or work, and if so, they will see it through to the end.
This talent work two ways, as they can be equally devoted to a bad cause and
equally successful in it. Dragons can't help but win!
This is undoubtedly due to the
fact that of all the Chinese signs, those born under the influence of the
Dragon are considered the luckiest of all and good fortune simply follows
them wherever they go. They have strong karma to lead and succeed. If a Dragon takes
action to realize dreams, there is no limit to the heights that can be achieved.
Not only that, they also have the Midas touch. It is
said that the Year of the Dragon is good for business and all money-making
schemes. Consequently, those born in this year have an inherent knack for
attracting money and they generally enjoy financial prosperity. The Chinese
say that the Dragon leaves wealth and prosperity in his path. Hence, the
Dragon leads the street processions during Chinese New Year. The Dragon
brings the Four Benedictions of the East -- wealth, virtue, harmony, and
long life.The Stimulating Dragon
Romance for the Dragon is
never simple, with one crazy state of mind following another, creating a
series of highs and lows in his love life. There are two types of Dragon
lovers: those who fall in love and commit themselves to a serious
relationship when they are fairly young, and those who tend to be loners and
perhaps never marry at all. In general, the former enjoy a stable and
satisfactory married life while the latter flit from one love affair to
another, never really giving any of them a chance to develop. Since Dragons
are not prone to marrying young, many committed bachelors and spinsters are
born under the influence of this sign; truthfully, the Dragon may be happier
alone. In any partnership Dragon folk will first and foremost seek an
intellectual rapport, because these people get as much of a charge from
mental stimulation as they do from having sex. Of course they bring to any
relationship their own inimitable touch of magic and that Dragon element of
good fortune. But the male Dragon is perhaps happier in love than his female
counterpart, for this, being a strongly masculine sign, often produces
dominant women who tend to take over the relationship and rather blindly
tread all over the sensitivities of their partners.
The
Monkey,
Snake and
Rat are dream partners for the Dragon;
however, it is worth remembering that the only sign that can fool the
Dragon is the Monkey. The
Boar and
Ox cannot deal with his excesses. The Dragon should avoid the
down-to-earth Dog, who is his opposite.
May is the month of the Dragon.
The time of the Dragon is from 7:00 a.m. to 8:59 a.m.; their direction of
orientation is east-southeast. The Dragon's color is aquamarine.
