Like western zodiac, chinese astrology is also comprised of 12 signs. Unlike the western system, it is based on a 12 year cycle rather than a 12 month cycle. Each year is symbolised by the sign of an animal, it's characteristics, traits and fortunes are bestowed upon someone born to the sign.
Strangely as I dig out and reread the book, I am once again amused but this time a little amazed at how much I can liken myself to my dragon traits.
It reads (and sadly I will not do justice as the illustrations are very cute):
Dragons represent strength, health and good fortune.
Nothing is beyond them and whatever they do they perform well.
When they set their heart, they even do bad things well.
They do enjoy a show of glitter and sparkle and certainly impress others with their own spectacle.
Dragons are athletic types and through regular exercise they retain their youth composure till a ripe old age.
As born chatter-boxes they tend to be tactless but nonetheless, they are quite artistic.
As Dragons are rather talkative, they have no difficulty in communicating with all and sundry.
However, their speech seldom reflects profound thought.
Dragons are not aversed to casual flirtations.
Dragons thrive in splendid isolation as they are self-sufficient.
Irrespective of the disaster that befalls them luckily for them they end up on top, and are well equipped to tackle extraordinary situations.
Dragons are idealists and perfectionists.
Dragons often suffer from a sense of superiority.
Despite their appearance of glitter, show and ease, deep down the dragon is dissatisfied and discontent.
To cheer-up a dragon - inject a bit of romanticism....
