The Dragon
© Original Drawing by Shi-He Wang

The Dragon is the 5th sign of the Zodiac.

If you were born between April 4th and May 4th, you are influenced by the Dragon.

The Dragon rules between the hours of 7.00 am and 9.00 am

The Dragon is magical and the only astrological sign that is not an actual animal. Yet so much a part of Chinese society is it, that it seems as real as any of the other signs.
The Dragon is one of the four celestial animals representing the compas directions in Feng Shui, representing the East and China itself. The Emperor sat on a Dragon throne and wrapped himself in Dragon robes.
While capable of breathing fire and presenting a terrible face like its western counterpart, in the East the Dragon also has its Yin aspect; benign, healing, signifying great success, wealth and prosperity.
It is easy to get carried away with the magnificence of the Dragon.
The Dragon is overwhelmingly Yang, which can lead to rashness, illogical reasoning, and recklessness. Others may find the Dragon obnoxiously self-important.
There is no in between with the Dragon. Life is either a Joy or a Tragedy, either way it is to be experienced fully and aggressively.
The Dragon is often drawn to the theatre or other performing arts, or professions which are larger than life and include an admiring audience.
The Dragon is flamboyant, and exuberant, and often a risk taker or gambler.
Dragons are mythological and occur everywhere in Chinese society, where they are called Leungs.
They are endowed with healing properties, and are considered good at accumulating wealth. Dragons are also good omens for those seeking spiritual enlightenment.
Good or Bad, the dragon is always dramatic.

How the Dragon relates to;

The Rat; The Rat makes an ideal companion for the Dragon. They make a good looking couple and have a tendency to admire each other. The Rat is both a financial manager and an inspiration for the Dragon.

The Ox; The stability of the Ox restrains the Dragon leading to resentments and feelings of imprisonment.

The Tiger; The Tiger is another Celestial Animal, representing the West, and the perfect compliment to the Dragon of the East. Unfortunately, these two are as much adversaries as soulmates. Any relationship is likely to be like an exciting, breathtaking dance that burns out all too soon.

The Rabbit; 'When the Rabbit appears, the Dragon's fortunes disappear', goes a Chinese proverb. An inauspicious pairing.

The Dragon; Two Dragons together can be overpowering. Much personal rivalry makes this combination an incompatible one.

The Snake; The Snake and Dragon are both highly spiritual signs. There is much to interest both in this pairing of a spiritual nature. An auspicious pairing.

The Horse; Interestingly, this is an auspicious pairing although much of what attracts the two is below the surface and not obvious to others.

The Sheep/Goat; Life with a sheep can be exasperating at times. Compatible qualities may be less in evidence than wished, and irritating qualities more in evidence. Yet, with work this is a pairing that can work well.

The Rooster; Life with a Rooster is like walking a razor's edge, but both these signs are sure-footed. With work, this can be a good partnership.

The Dog; This is not an auspicious pairing. The Dog is too down to earth. The Dragon is too much above it. However, that both are ruled by the Earth element and Yang explains why these two are often attracted to each other.

The Pig; This is a less than perfect union. Stubbornness is as likely the reason to stay together as anything else.
