| The
Dragon Personality
The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. Colorful and exotic, symbol of good fortune and emblem of power, the Oriental dragon is always regarded as a sacred beast - reverse of the archetypal malevolent monster that Westerner of old felt compelled to seek out, defeat and slay. In Eastern philosophy, the Dragon is held to be a bringer of good fortune and a holder of authority and those people born in Dragon Years are therefore to be honored and respected.

The key to the Dragon personality is that these folk are the free spirit of the Zodiac and a law unto themselves. Having to conform is anathema to the Dragon. To him or her, rules and regulations are made only for other people. Restrictions squeeze stone dead the creative spark that at every turn is ready to flame into life. Dragons need to be as free as the wind and clouds that are their domain. The Dragon is a gorgeous creature, as colorful and flamboyant as a gilded dragon in a Chinese pageant. Everything Dragon folk do is on the grand scale - big ideas, extravagant features, massive and ambitions. But they don't behave this way for show, it is simply their nature. And because they have confidence and enthusiasm and are fearless in the face of challenge, they most invariably meet with success. Dragons, one way or another, usually make it to the top. However, Dragon people need to beware of their own natures. Too much enthusiasm and too much beating of Dragon wings can leave them exhausted and their ambitions unfulfilled and their Dragon pride can prevent them from accepting help from other people. Dragons are always able to attract friends through their generous natures, their style and sheer magnetism ut they ca be rather solitary people at heart. |

Water Dragon Year: 1952 & 2012

Water has a
calming influence on the Dragon's bold and fiery temperament. It may not
quench the Dragon's fire but it enables the Dragon to direct it more
thoughtfully and makes this kind of Dragon more sensitive to others and
more cooperative. These Dragons know the art of patience and do not have
the same burning desire to be the focus of attention as other Dragons, they
are better able to stand back from things and take an objective view of
the situation. Thus they make wise judgments and are much more
prepared to see eye-to eye with other people.

The Fire Dragon is a force
to be reckoned with. This is a Dragon multiplied by two and a powerful
dynamo this can be! The Fire Dragon can go for the burn and accelerate

is always his or her own worst enemy. These Dragons cannot help having
the conviction that they are super-important and right about combination
of enthusiasm and energy is a great asset to the cause; but although

temper, passion and competitive spirit under control, they can have a
powerful influence on others.

Logical and lever-headed,
Earth Dragons have a flair for organizing and they make excellent

Dragons, less inclined to breathe fire or to erupt like a volcano at the
least provocation. Earth Dragons will work hard and purposefully to
succeed at their aims in life. The Earth element adds a reasonable and realistic
note to the Dragon's character and a larger portion of self-control and
normally the Earth Dragon is worthy of the respect he or she commands.
In life and in love, these Dragons take their responsibilities
seriously.

| The
Dragon Lover
Dragon is a consummate egotist and show-off who loves the limelight; modesty in not one of the Dragon's assets. Then there is the Dragon temper, which is worst of all the Chinese Animals. Dragon can be dogmatic, domineering and bombastic. They hate taking advice from anyone, are quick to rebuke their nearest and dearest and can be hopelessly tactless and insensitive to their partners. Dragons are warm and generous, charismatic and irresistibly attractive and so strong and courageous that standing beside them drives away fear. Their irrepressible exuberance makes the sun shine on the bleakest day and they generate excitement wherever they go. They are wild and impulsive and can make others realize their dreams. People love them because they simply better when Dragons are around. Dragons fall in love at the drop of a hat but are in no hurry to give up their independence - indeed many Dragons remain confirmed singletons. But an intelligent, witty and amusing companion may well intrigue the Dragon enough to make him or her want to tie the knot. And once Dragon folk become committed they are unlikely to ever roam again. |
