The Dragon and his Ascendants

Born During the Hours of the mouse - 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.

His typical Dragon generosity may be mixed with mouse frugality. The mouse's affectionate nature also makes it difficult for him to be absolutely objective and decisive.

Born During the Hours of the Ox - 1 a.m. to 3 a.m.

Slow-moving Dragon who likes to be sure of what he is doing. Nonetheless, he is still breathing fire and could employ the Buffalo's heavy-minded ways in dealing with those that cross him.

Born During the Hours of the Tiger - 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.

Could get hysterical when plans go awry. He has the Tiger's wild impulses and is motivated by emotional reasons. On the other hand, he could be a compulsive worker, too.

Born During the Hours of the Rabbit - 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.

Strength and diplomacy combined. A quiet Dragon given to reflection and sound thinking. Very strong and subtle.

Born During the Hours of the Dragon - 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

The high priest or priestess type. Exacts unquestioning devotion and obedience. Will probably have to establish a cult of his own if he wants to have a large following.

Born During the Hours of the Snake - 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

A Dragon who plots every move and executes plans with precision. Slightly sinister and overambitious, but the Snake's charm masks this intensity.

Born During the Hours of the Horse - 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

A gregarious wit who may like to gamble with high stakes. No party is complete without him. But the Horse's preoccupation with his own selfish desires may overshadow the Dragon's sense of duty.

Born During the Hours of the Sheep - 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Modest and understanding, this Dragon is one who can really get things done to perfection without having to resort to brute force.

Born During the Hours of the Monkey - 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

A superstar in his own right. A good combination of strength and guile. He jokes and clowns around but don't be fooled - he is made of steel and you'll never get past him.

Born During the Hours of the Rooster - 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

A fearless and imaginative Dragon with immeasurable pride and some of the Rooster's folly. Never a dull moment!

Born During the Hours of the Dog - 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

A down-to-earth Dragon with practical ideas. The Dog in him makes him assess situation in a more detached way and lends him good humor and stability. May also have a nasty bite when he is angry.

Born During the Hours of the Pig - 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Deeply devoted and warm-hearted Dragon. Wonderful to have as a friend as he will go all out to support you. The Pig's influence may even give this Dragon a touch of humility.
