Everyone is born with special stars on their birth chart – and they can be activated during certain years, months and days.

Chinese astrology is based upon a combination of yin and yang; the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood; and the 12 animals of the zodiac, while a lunisolar calendar is followed, dictated by the rhythms of the solar system.

Earth Dragon Month: April 5 to May 5

Elements of the month = Yang, “Mountain-like” Earth

Energy of the Dragon: Power, fortune and knowledge

The Dragon corresponds to the hours: 7am-9am

The third month of the Chinese calendar is represented by the Dragon.

Those born within the hours of the Dragon rise late and usually are in a hurry to get everything finished in time, yet they may achieve a lot in life even if they would benefit from a more sedate approach. As employees, dragons tend to work well under pressure but can be more prone to make mistakes. The Dragon is the most auspicious symbol in Chinese culture, the keeper of life and representing the strongest energy and new beginnings.
