Traditionally the Chinese belief that the Dragon though a creatur of myth and legend was colourful and exotic. It is a symbol of good fortune and emblem of power. Unlike it western malevolent monster counterpart the Oriental dragon is regarded as a sacred beast. The charecteristics of people born under the Dragon sign, which recurs once every 12 years are the free spirit and a law unto themselves. Dragons need to be as free as the wind and the clouds that are their domain. Dragons, one way or another, usually make it to the top. However the downside for the Dragon is they must be aware of their natures because too much enthusiasm and too much beating of the Dragon wings can leave them exhausted and their ambitions unfulfilled. Similarly the Dragon prides can prevent them from accepting help from others when badly needed.
2012 is the Water Dragon year. Water has a calming influence on the Dragon's bold and fiery temperament. It may not be able to quench the Dragon fire but it enables the dragon to direct it more thoughfully, and makes this kind of Dragon more sensitive to others and more cooperative.
