Dragon

Colorful, exotic, sinuous and scaly, the oriental dragon is more snakelike than bat or bird like than western conceptualization of the mythical beasts. The Oriental Dragon is a sacred beast of benevolence and good fortune. Not the destructive force of Western culture (as seen in recent movies about dragons), nor purple dinosaurs, Oriental Dragons are considered to be beasts of majesty, power, and good fortune. Dragon years are thought to be fortuitous. We see the oriental dragon in much of our culture from the doors of modern honorable and noble Dragon, with energy and dynamic power to spare is the fifth in the Cycle of Twelve.

Dragons are magnificent! Non-conformist to the max, the Dragon personality will always march to the beat of a different drummer and not really care what others think. Normally self-assured and resourceful, they easily have the capability and personal enthusiasm to act with great valor. Flashiness is in their nature. Listening to their own inner drummer the Dragon personality may be difficult for some to understand. Dragon people never do anything in a small way. It would be right in character for the Dragon to make a huge display when proposing to his intended mate. It’s not that he’s making it about him he just has a panache and style that is eloquent in its abundance. Big ideas and big things are watchwords for the Dragons.

Originality is the personality trait Dragons should rely on most when looking for a career choice. Dragons are said to be able to burn holes through walls. This is indicative of their capability of being able to see areas of opportunity where others see nothing. Dragons are great for thinking outside the box. A wide range of callings can be appropriate for the Dragon depending on their association with the metals in the Chinese system. Suffice to say that whether it is as a politician, salesperson, broker, advertising agent, public relations profession, lawyer or philosopher Dragon will bring an element of style, energy and vigor to any occupational path they so choose.

Sometimes accused of having an excess of personality, Dragon people really aren’t that difficult to please. They enjoy stepping outside the traditional box a little and enjoy new experiences.
