Dragon of Earth

The only mythological animal in the cycle, and it shows: the Dragon thinks big and doesn't settle for the predictable. It has a presence that fills the room and an ambition that rarely fades. In this combination, the Dragon is also governed by the Earth element, which adds stability, practicality, and care. That blend defines a distinct character within the 60-year cycle: a Dragon of Earth isn't the same as the same animal under a different element.

The Earth element tends to sharpen traits like big-picture vision and natural confidence, with a tone tied to stability, practicality, and care. A challenge specific to the Dragon — can come across as overpowering — also feels different under this energy: Earth invites working on it from a place of stability.

Those who identify with the Dragon of Earth tend to recognize themselves in that particular combination of magnetic and confident, expressed with the imprint of earth.
