Dragon
Chen Dragon
Yang Earth
East-Southeast · Xun Palace
The Dragon wants a story large enough to live in, and a standard that embarrasses half-measures. Greeting-card years follow Chinese New Year (Spring Festival); the year pillar follows Li Chun (Start of Spring). If those two clocks disagree, believe the four pillars, not the party. Your animal is one branch among four — the birth hour is the one worth hunting.
