(Feb. issue of Dell's Horoscope magazine...) Every 12th year is a Dragon year, but the dragon on our doorstep this year is METAL DRAGON, a specific sort of fellow whose metallic nature and temperament deserve a closer look. We have not experienced a WHITE/METAL DRAGON in 60 years. The year 2000 will find metal expressing its nature as a yang weapon, because metal, when combined with dragon, takes on the masculine essence of the dragon. The previous metal year 1940 was a year of great turmoil on a global scale. Risk taking is usually rewarded in dragon years, as energy is on the move and can be ridden like a dragon to lofty success. This same energy on the move can result in volcanos, earthquakes, and tsunami, as the very earth trembles. In fact the word "hurricane" is named after HURACAN, the DRAGON of the Caribbean who is also responsible for earthquakes.... ".......dragons we are told by those who know have a propensity to hoard and guard things, and their favorite things to hoard and guard are JEWELS AND BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRLS... they are unable to make use of either but just hang on, and so the values in their treasury are unrealized, lost to themselves and the world. The dragon would not be doing his duty if he did not exemplify a raging promiscuity. The dragon does not disappoint in this regard. by manifesting as BOTH male and female, he/she can even have relations with itself. (ah.......the serpent in the garden...is that what happened..... both Eve and Adam 'ate' ? and the serpent had offspring) Now it is obvious that when nothing is as yet created, all that a fiery eye can see is its own reflection. The sight of this is said to inflame the dragon with the envious desire to engulf it, which it does both by coupling with it sexually and devouring it whole. Scores of beautiful virgins have been sacrificed, both in reality and in fable, to the DRAGON'S APPETITE. Oriental cultures identify the dragon with his DESTINATION: HEAVEN. Western cultures are more concerned with his place of origin: earth caves, wells, and watery underground chambers are the classic dwelling places for European dragons. In Scandinavia, dragons were reputed to inhabit death-mounds, protecting the treasures buried in the graves beneath. The earliest and most extensive dragon story of medieval times is Bewulf, a highly entertaining epic poem set in northern Europe in the 6th century. Scholars still debate the meaning and message of this literary artifact, which survived by word of mouth for 200 years before being written down fully one thousand years ago! This archetypal story has served as a model for all hero/dragon battles to follow including the now classic story by J.R.R. Tolkien, THE HOBBIT, which features a properly horrific, abominable creature of repulsive habits and temperament whose fire belching and stench earn him his inadvertent but appropriate name of Smaug. And what are we to think of the sword that is the essential tool for dragon slaying? Dragons in Asia are linked to electricity and an upsurge in the life source. Until they are awakened they dwell below consciousness and below the earth, acting as guardians of ancient treasure and ancient wisdom. On February 5, 2000, the year of the White Dragon begins with a solar eclipse at 16 degrees 2 minutes of Aquarius. For a greater understanding of our Dragon year coming one must look at the only other Metal Dragon year 1940 and in this century and undeniably a fateful year in world history. (I'm not going to copy it here as it is quite a downer.... and in the light of what is written it is more important than ever it says the "need for a total mobilization of ENERGY and a deep sense of INDOMITABILITY") It says that our dragon year 2000 while dangerous enough to give us pause, does not rise to the level of the Armageddon-style conflagration of 1940. The year 2000 in guard dog disguise seeks only to protect what is rightfully his, to do his duty and fulfill his function. Yes he is operating from instinct and probably cannot be reasoned with, but neither is he an out of control force of nature capable of infinite expansion, blindly annihilating every living thing in its path. The dragon is a complex beast and incredibly powerful bearer of blessings, but also capable of gripping our hearts with fear. A cleansing tide of change is due to sweep across our planet like an indivisible thunderstorm......We are given another chance to defend the preciousness of our individuality and the unlimited creative potential of our minds.
