The Dragon

Today is my daughter Stefanie’s birthday. She was born in the year of the Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac, which happens to be this year. Stefanie has a blog and she inspired me to create mine. If you follow hers: www.whereisstef.blogspot.com you'll know how accuratly this describes her.

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.

A 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 need 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.

No dragons here but there are Frilled Neck Lizards, a modern version of the dragon. Happy Birthday Stef! Love Mum xo
