Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Libra Dragon

In the chronology of the Western zodiac, Libra represents the mid-life of the human life-cycle, equivalent to the 40s. The Libran outlook is thus one of adjustment, balancing what is valuable and what can be discarded, as if in preparation for the second half of life. Importantly, at this time the pressure of mortality is still distant enough for Libras not to feel like they need to rush. Hence people born under this sign are inclined to weigh problems carefully, and to resent being forced to act prematurely. Having the element of Air, people born under this sign are instinctively drawn to intellectual and social matters. The Cardinal modality means this is Air at its most pure, which when Librans are relaxed manifests as great enthusiasm for diverse possibilities, especially social perspectives and constructs. In uncomfortable settings, however, the pure quality of Librans' energy means it can be hard to control, and they may find themselves procrastinating or rendering harsh judgements.

The fifth and only mythical sign in the Eastern zodiac is the awe-inspiring dragon. So desirable are the traits of the Dragon native that birthrates are known to spike throughout Asia when a Dragon year arrives. Folk born under this sign are true movers and shakers—captivating, exuberant, and proud. They tend to be physically robust, and can often seem to have a Midas touch, they are so good at anticipating and attracting good fortune to their causes. The lives of Dragon souls are rarely calm. They can have a polarizing effect on those around them, and are sometimes so tempestuous and hard to tie down that they leave a trail of disappointment in their wake. But even enemies are likely to secretly admire these stunning creatures. For nowhere is the Dragon more comfortable than center stage, and in their triumphs they reflect their glory onto anyone and everyone who bears witness.
