Hi Whiteknight:
DragonThe Dragon of mythology was a creature of inaccessible places, high mountains or underground caves, breathing fire and ready for battle. The Dragon has been a symbol of deep desire, of wisdom and of luck, and has often been used to ward off evil spirits. Powerful, brave, obstinate, enthusiastic and always lucky, if you were born in the Year of the Dragon you can accomplish things that others consider impossible. Nothing is beyond you, but you're not easy to live with. You can be cranky and demanding, and upset others with your blunt way of speaking, but you're scrupulously honest, and genuinely very charming.
If you were born in the Year of the Dragon, you enjoy the company of those born in the Years of the Rat, Snake, and Rooster, but there could be problems with those born in the Year of the Dog, as well as other Dragons!
Libra is the lover of the Zodiac. He seeks complementary energy - partnership, equilibrium, balance, harmony, and above all, love. Libra takes pleasure in people, words, art and beauty. There are so many joys, wonders and ways of expression. He wants to experience them all! Maybe that is why he is constantly falling in love.
The opposite of Aries, who is on a quest to make his personal mark in the world, Libra is searching for connections with others. He attracts people and collects things because of his great fascination with everything he sees. He may seem acquisitive, or luxury loving, but he is merely fulfilling a deep need to appreciate the earth by gathering it close to himself.
Libra creates balance in his life by making comparisons. He spends a great deal of time weighing out options, opinions and possibilities. Like a judge, he must choose the best, and this is sometimes a challenge! The tendency to vacillate on the part of Libra is his famous, and seemingly endless exercise in discernment, but once he has chosen, he does so with a certainty he will strongly defend. To rush the Libra could result in a half-hearted, and possibly ill-fated decision on his part, thus opening the door to constant uncertainty.
Libra needs to be stimulated both mentally and sensually. He is just as fascinated with communication and debate as with earthly goods and pleasures. Libra wants others to feel comfortable and at ease. He is a charming host with impeccable taste and style, and seeks both natural and creative beauty in his surroundings.
When it comes to love, the Libra will be entirely devoted to his chosen one, showering her with all the joys of life he so cherishes. Libra needs companionship above all, and will work hard to make a harmonious partnership.
