A Water Dragon leads with visionary and commanding. As a dragon, you were not built for the middle of the room — and the water element makes you adaptive and deep — you find the way around, then through.

The texture of Water Dragon: still water over moving current. Where it costs you — expects the world to keep your pace and resents it for not. That blind spot is the price of the same intensity that makes you unmistakable.

Born a Water Dragon? That's the 1952 and 2012 birth years — exact down to the lìchūn moment.
