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. 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 key to the Dragon personality is that Dragons are the free spirits of the Zodiac. Conformation is a Dragon's curse. Rules
and regulations are made for other people. Restrictions blow out the creative spark that is ready to flame into life. Dragons
must be free and uninhibited. The Dragon is a beautiful creature, colorful and flamboyant. An extroverted bundle of energy,
gifted and utterly irrepressible, everything Dragons do is on a grand scale - big ideas, ornate gestures, extreme ambitions.
However, this behavior is natural and isn't meant for show. Because they are confident, fearless in the face of challenge,
they are almost inevitably successful. Dragons usually make it to the top. However, Dragon people be aware of their natures.
Too much enthusiasm can leave them tired and unfulfilled. Even though they are willing to aid when necessary, their pride
can often impede them from accepting the same kind of help from others. Dragons' generous personalities give them the ability
to attract friends, but they can be rather solitary people at heart. A Dragon's self-sufficiency can mean that he or she has
no need for close bonds with other people.
Dragon people are the most eccentric in the Chinese Zodiac. Soaring high into the serene heavens, they can be stubborn, passionate,
excitable, honest, and brave, wear purple and walk barefoot in public fountains. They listen to their own drummer while the
rest of the world stands in amazement. People always admire their individuality and feisty personality. Dragons are capable
of doing great work for mankind and they inspire trust in almost everyone. The Dragon symbolizes life and growth and is said
to bring the five blessings: harmony, virtue, riches, fulfillment and longevity.
YOUR ELEMENT - WOOD
If you were born on October 6, 1964, you are a Wood Dragon. Natural curiosity leads Wood Dragons to pursue very interesting
career paths. The dichotomy is they are successful human beings but not all that successful in their careers, despite all
the help they get from friends and mentors. The Wood Dragon is steady as a rock when it comes to Love & Relationships. They
just don't believe in love at first sight. To them, love, relationships, and marriage follow a progressive course, evolving
naturally and slowly out of friendship. Once the love bug catches them, their love is deep and passionate.
Gifted with an exploratory nature, the Wood Dragon loves to look into cause and effect theories; his every action will be
guided by sound logic. However, he also has a tendency to overinvestigate subjects or to submit people to endless debate when
he is faced with opposition. Nonetheless, here is a generous Dragon who is amendable to taking the middle road; who tries
to offend as few people as possible; who subtly conceals his domineering ways. The Wood element produces a less fierce and
unreasonable variety of Dragons who will compromise when he sees it is to his advantage. Still, as a Dragon, he will ultimately
have to relate everything to his oversize ego and will condescend to change only when he is sure of the benefits to himself.
Wood has a modifying influence and brings creativity to this sign. Questioning and liberal, Wood Dragons enjoy talking about
original ideas and are open to other points of view. They are innovative, imaginative practical and appreciate art in each
of its forms. Wood Dragons are outspoken and at times a bit pushy to quell everyone, even in the most friendly quarrel.
DRAGON'S OVERVIEW FOR THE YEAR OF THE ROOSTER
The Dragon will find this year rather lovely. They will continue to win successes, especially in the fields where creativity
is the key factor. But victory, however brilliant it may be, won't be enough for them and won't prevent them from asking deeper
questions from time to time. The Dragon native will have to try to acquire more wisdom in order to fight boredom. The reading
of good authors will do them a lot of good. It will be recommended to the Dragon to read the works of Confucius and Pascal
with particular attention.

and to experience some good luck or have money fall into your lap. Personal attitudes are important.
2005 offers popularity, celebrity and an increase in wealth to lucky Dragons. During this period you receive income from more
than one source. A favorable year for unions and you stand an excellent chance of capturing your lover's heart. By the end
of the year, your passionate dreams may well have become a reality. If married, more spontaneity will replace routine. In
2005, your career will flourish, but petty gossip or others talking behind your back could provoke your wrath. Don't announce
your plans prematurely and be cautious of persons who might try to profit at your expense. Avoid digestive troubles by eating
with moderation, avoiding alcohol, and skipping late-night snacking. Travel plans will be discussed with a caller; Act on
new ideas, try new avenues, and say "yes" to social invitations. Enjoy this auspicious year, compliments of your soulmate
the Rooster.

clear-headed and you'll better succeed in controlling the situation.
DRAGON'S LOVE FORECAST FOR YEAR OF THE ROOSTER
First quarter
Many single natives will seriously consider getting married. Widows, widowers and divorced people will be tempted by a new
marital experience. During March, keep some distance between you and your in-laws if you want to preserve your conjugal harmony.
Do not leave the in-laws any possibility to meddle with your private life, otherwise you'll be confronted with explosive situations.
Second quarter
If you're single and on the lookout for a sister soul, then wake up: it might come along during this period. The stars promise
you a great romantic change. They'll satisfy your sentimental needs, facilitate your contacts and fulfill your wishes.
Third quarter
If you go to a faraway place during this period, you'll probably meet someone to whom you'll feel irresistibly attracted.
Your sentimental life will then be modified if not changed entirely. However, it's almost certain that you'll only live a
short, frivolous romance -- but a romance that will enchant you and leave you with an ineffable memory. Perfect harmony with
the beloved one during September if you're clever enough to control your touchiness and tolerant enough not to find faults.
Beware of jealousy as you would of the bubonic plague.
Fourth quarter
This period seems very favorable to sentimental recoveries. They'll be brought about by your more realistic view of things
and, above all, by a transformation of your inner climate that will provoke more favorable responses from the beloved one.
Single natives, you can hope to live soon in sheer bliss. You're indeed going to meet the ideal mate -- the person who will
correspond exactly to your most secret wishes. It's not impossible that you'll marry them very shortly.
