DRAGON
1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000
As the noble animal symbol that represents the Chinese emperors, Dragons
are born leaders and masters of ceremonies. And because of this, every
Chinese parent is hoping to have a Dragon child. Dragon people get things
started and keep them moving. They are feisty and gifted with power and
luck. Most people look up to the Dragon.
Dragons are born monarchs. As far as they can see, their power is indisputable.
Dragons are idealists, perfectionists, they are born thinking they are
perfect and they are inflexible. Dragons are also aggressive and determined,
going after what they want is second nature to them. And due to their hunger
for power, Dragons are not well suited to growing old. The prospect of
losing power, the helpless feeling of youthful strength ebbing away is
unbearable to them.
Irritable and stubborn, the Dragon is a real big mouth and his words
often outrun his thoughts. Nevertheless, his opinions are worth listening
to and his advice is always good. People do, in fact, listen to him and
his influence is considerable. They Dragon is over-proud. He is enthusiastic
to the point of impetuosity, and he loses his temper easily.
Dragons are dauntless, dynamic and delightful. When a Dragon enters
a gathering, the room starts to simmer. The Dragon carries a self-assurance
so impressive, and inflated ego so visible and a mouth so loud that it
is useless to try to tell him anything.
Dragons are tyrannical. They hate orders except when they are giving
them. Unlike the Tiger, who imposes his will seriously and firmly, the
Ox, whose authority is implied in his very stern demeanor, or the Rat,
who thrusts his dominion over others, the Dragon knows innately how to
exert authority yet be gentle with his slaves. Dragons are terrible snobs.
Although money is not always the object, they are slavishly impressed by
wealth, prestige, rank and splendor.
The Dragon is gifted, intelligent, tenacious, willing and generous.
He can do anything. No matter whether the Dragon chooses an artistic career,
medical or political one, he is going to shine in it. He will be a success
wherever he goes.
The Dragon is often loved. He is never disappointed in love. In fact,
he is frequently the cause of some drama of despair. The women of this
sign are surrounded by admirers and often demanded in marriage.

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. 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. 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. 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.
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.

1999 - The Year of Rabbit
(quotes from "Chinese Lunar Calendar")
For Dragon people, the year of rabbit will be a year to keep low-profile. Although it doesn't seem to be a great year for you, but with your experience, wisdom and your social ability, you can avoid any problem you might encounter. Health is your prime issue this year, so be sure to take good care of youself. Try not to visit someone at the hospital, or eat at the funeral.
February is the month to watchout, be careful of what you eat. In March, you might lose some money, and be cautious of what you say. July is a good month for you, you might get a promotion but avoid any investment, August is the better time to invest. Romance is in the air of August and December, so open your heart for it. October and November are your lucky month.
