Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Virgo Dragon

Sixth in the sequence of the Western zodiac is Virgo, the great problem-solver. This sign is equivalent to the years around age 40, when the frivolities of youth are put aside in favour of a clear system of organization for the future. Virgos are motivated by coordination, logistics, planning. They tend to be extremely goal-oriented. They are brilliant at saving money and managing their calendars, learning new skills, or setting up environments where everything has a place and can be located when needed. As an Earth sign, Virgos usually focus on physical realities rather than abstract matters, although the Mutable quality of Virgo gives them a keenly analytical, reflective side. At times, Virgos may be too rigid in their need for structure, making them appear inflexible, even domineering. They can also see selective disclosure as key to their schemes, which may breed resentment if others feel left in the dark. Most Virgos, however, have little difficulty applying their awesome problem-solving skills with dedication and generosity. Families and businesses with Virgos in their midst are often among the happiest and most successful in the zodiac.

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.
