The Dragon
Weather in myth, big ideas in a chart
This page is about a birth-day animal, not a birth-year animal. Everyone has a day animal, from the day they were born, and it is often not the year animal they know.
You and I are not small, and we stopped apologising for it some time ago.
The Dragon in Korean Saju
You think big, and you have probably given up trying to seem smaller. You are drawn to what nobody has done yet, and routine upkeep bores you. The cost is that you can mistake the size of an idea for how sound it is.

If this is your day animal
The Dragon is the animal of ambition and reach, and the only one of the twelve that is not real.
What this animal is like in a chart
A Dragon day is someone who thinks big and can live with unfinished things. The Dragon rules the last month of spring, and it is the only mythical animal among the twelve. People with this day tend to draw others into their plans. It counts as a storehouse animal, keeping Water in reserve under its Earth.
The risk is keeping its best resources locked away. The Dragon holds Wood and Water inside that it rarely shows and sometimes forgets it has. A Dragon day can spend a lifetime managing its own image instead of using what it has. Try spending some of the reserve rather than guarding all of it.
How it gets on with the other animals
Pulls together — The Rooster
Easy to fall into, hard to leave. The Dragon and the Rooster are one of the six pairs that pull together, the closest link two animals can have.
Clashes head-on — The Dog
A pairing that does not let either person stay the same. The Dog sits directly opposite the Dragon on the circle of twelve: a head-on clash. That makes it a restless match, not a bad one.
Team of three — The Monkey & The Rat
These three get the most done together. With the Monkey and the Rat, the Dragon makes a team of three that pulls toward Water.
