fire dragon

i was born in 1976. hence according to the chinese calendar, i'm a dragon. a fire dragon, actually. read what www.chinese.astrology.com has to say about "people like us".. --------------------------------------------------------------------
DRAGONS

The Dragon is one of the most powerful and lucky Signs of the Chinese Zodiac. Its warm heart makes the Dragon's brash, fiery energy far more palatable. This is a giving, intelligent and tenacious Sign that knows exactly what it wants and is determined to get it. Dragons possess a certain natural, charming charisma that ensures they can always influence their peers and often find themselves the center of attention in social situations. This Sign is truly blessed, too; Dragons are considered to be very lucky in love! (hahaha.. yeah, right!) The Dragon's friends are always keen to hear what this firebrand has to say and when it comes to dispensing advice, the Dragon has the floor.

Its ego can get in the Dragon's way, but even so, this larger-than-life creature has a knack for initiating projects and keeping the troops motivated. According to Dragons, it's their natural born right to lead the way -- because who else could do it so surely and so well? As lucky as they are, Dragons have a good chance of achieving considerable material wealth during their lifetimes, although it isn't mere money that's this Sign's main motivation. Power is what the Dragon wants and truly believes it deserves. Dragons are quite the opportunists, forever searching for ways in which to consolidate their considerable power. Contrary to all this strength and fire, a weakened Dragon is a sad sack, a creature that refuses to take defeat with even a modicum of grace.

The role of leader is the only one the Dragon wants, the better from which to give orders and be king of the hill. They make solid leaders, too, knowing instinctively what needs to be done to stay on top. Crossing the Dragon is never a good idea -- this beast can singe! A valuable life lesson for this clever creature would be to absorb the principles of flexibility, compassion and tolerance. Being high and mighty can serve to inspire others, but it also keeps Dragons from living their lives to the fullest. If Dragons can learn to balance their quest for success with an appreciation for the little things, their life will be more than worthwhile.

The most compatible match for a Dragon is the Monkey or the Rat.

FIRE

Those of you born under the influence of the Chinese Element Fire burn through life with your fierce charm, your impulsive enthusiasm and your restless emotions. A natural leader, you inspire with your decisive action and dramatic expression; people can't help but be magnetically drawn to you. Where will you lead your followers? Likely into an exciting adventure of some sort. You're instinctual, but your mind sparks with new ideas and clever solutions.

In love, you're highly-charged -- even combustible at times! Hot tamales to the core, these dynamic individuals can see straight to the heart of an issue and make it work for them. You may seem single-minded, but you just refuse to be swayed from a cause they believe to be important.

hahahaha.. is there really something to this chineze zodiac thing?! :D well anyway, whether it's true or not, i've always thought of myself as a fire dragon. not because of my birthdate, though. but somehow it just.. suits me, i guess.

a lot of times, i feel rather "out of this world" - like i'm trapped in the middle of reality and fiction. i'm real and unreal at the same time. much like dragons. and the phoenix (see my august archive). i can identify with these creatures. definitely.


and fire. well, what can i say?! i may love the rain.. but fire has always fascinated me as well (read my july archive). if i were to choose between the elements, i know i'd always choose this one. i don't know if i have a fiery personality (hahaha.. yeah, right!), but i can really say that i am a fire person.


maybe there is something to this chinese zodiac after all.. hahahaha
