Presnt day Oriental astrologers claim that children born during Dragon years enjoy health, wealth and long life. 1964-1976 were Dragon years. Dragons are so wise that they have been royal advisors. A thirteenth century Cambodian King spent his nights in a golden tower, where he consulted with the real ruler of tha land a nine headed dragon. Eastern Dragons are vain, even though they are wise. They are insulted when a ruler does not follow their advice. Then, by thrashing about, dragons either stop making rain and cause water shortages, or they breathe black clouds that bring storms and floods. Small dragons do minor mischief, such as making roofs leak. People set off ffire crackers and carry immense paper dragons in special parades. They also race dragon shaped boats in water all to please and appease their dragons. The dragon brings upon the essence of life, in form of its celestial breath, known to many as sheng chi. He yields life and bestows its power in the form of the seasons, bringing water from rain, warmth from sunshine, wind from the seas and soil from the earth. The dragon is the ultimate representation of the forces of Mother Nature. A great divine force on earth.

He will even compromise if it is advantageous. Although not as self centered as other dragons, he is still outspoken and fearless when challenged.

FIRE DRAGON The fire dragon is the most extroverted and competitive Dragon. He tends to push too hard and expects a lot from everyone.

It is futile to attempt to covince him that certain things are simply undoable. He will go it alone if he can't get support. He succeeds because he refuses to accept failure.
