"Successful, spiritual, courageous, innovative, imaginative, brave, honest, idealistic, proud, fiery, logical, curious, artistic, powerful, over-confidentThe Dragon and the Dog signs are in opposition to one another, and as 2018 is the year of the Dog, it means that it isn’t the Dragon’s greatest year. But, as with everything, sometimes the most valuable lessons are learned the hard way, and sometimes when things appear to be going wrong, they are actually working out in our favor. This is why it is vital to stay in high spirits, whenever possible, as the year plays out. Dragons should aim to not get too caught up or attached to outcomes or sudden, abrupt endings.If Dragons remember to expect the unexpected then nothing will catch them off guard, which means they will be mentally prepared to adapt and change and align to whatever cards life decides to deal them. Mostly, life will be challenging them to find ways to maintain inner peace in times of turbulent external circumstances.To ensure a smooth ride this year, it is highly recommended that Dragons practice responding rather than reacting when other people trigger their unhealed emotions. If they take a few moments to calm themselves and consider where the other person is coming from, they will see that it’s much harder to be angry with other people when we can see things from their point of view. Otherwise, arguments and conflicts may take centre stage during 2018—and might even result in abrupt endings within close personal relationships.Most complimentary matches are the Rat, Monkey, and Rooster."
