Sagittarians are notorious in astrology for having the most attractive personalities of all the zodiac signs.

That's nice to read but I'd doubt it.

I skipped one point on the list, about humour and jokes.

1. We're inconsistent.

We know we told you last week we were taking up coding to learn more about computers. This week, we want to learn everything about growing our own succulent garden on the fire escape.

We're more than okay with not being just one thing so if you love a Sagittarius, you're getting a lot of different people wrapped up into one — lucky you!

3. We're very inflexible.

We're so sorry about that, but we don't want to make plans with you at 5:45 pm for a 6 pm dinner when we're about to get off work and all we want to do is go home and watch TV.

We value our alone time and we plan on it like we're in a relationship with ourselves. (Which we are.)

Sagittarians are very independent so don't expect us to adjust our own schedule to fit yours.

And don't mistake this trait for being introverted - we love plans, we just love when you make them 24 hours in advance.

4. We get into the deep philosophical stuff right away.

5. We're a little bit reckless.

6. And if you don’t love us, we move on fast.

We can drop people like a sack of wet, stinky laundry. We don't ever want to feel like we're in a relationship with someone who doesn't want to hear what we have to say or tries to tell us what to think.

Sagittarians have a fiercely strong sense of right and wrong and if you can't agree with us or at the least, empathize with us, we shut down.

7. But, no matter what, we're pretty optimistic.

Personality of the Dragon

As the sole imaginary animal, the dragon ranks fifth in the Chinese Zodiac. The dragon is the most vital and powerful of any in the Chinese zodiac, although with an infamous reputation for being a hothead and possessing a sharp tongue. In ancient times, people thought that dragons could control everything in the world, for they symbolized the character traits of dominance and ambition.

Gifted with innate courage, tenacity and intelligence, dragons are enthusiastic and confident. They are not afraid of challenges, and willing to take risks. However, the dragon is sometimes regarded as aggressive, and angry dragons are not open to criticism. They don't consider themselves irritating and arrogant. Instead of following the past, they are striving for a smooth and nice future.

Which Type of 'Dragon' Are You?

In Chinese element theory, each zodiac sign is associated with one of five elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth, which means that a Wood Dragon, for example, comes once in a 60-year cycle.

Type of Dragon and Characteristics Wood Dragon (1964, 2024) Introverted, less enthusiastic, and lacking in good relationships Fire Dragon (1916, 1976) Smart, unreliable, and easygoing Earth Dragon (1928, 1988) Smart, ambitious, and hardworking Gold Dragon (1940, 2000) Natural and straightforward, unpredictable with continually changing emotions Water Dragon (1952, 2012) Persevering, farsighted, and vigorous

The Dragon is a helpful creature, blessed with occult powers and vitality. The Dragon marks auspicious events, from births to deaths.

People born under the sign of the Dragon have an intuitive ability to understand any situation, and this puts them in a position to influence events. More often than not though, their in influences are not wanted nor warranted.

Dragons often have their heads in the clouds.

Dragons are full of over-self-confidence, and most often they believe they are infallible.

Dragons start relationships and projects with youthful, boundless energy, only to abandon them halfway through when something else captures their attention.

Dragon's superficial show of bravado often disguises an insecurity, which the Dragon will go to great lengths to cover it with a wide smile or flashy material items.

Dragons have so much energy that much of their focus in life goes to trying to channel it constructively. They often feel frustrated when things don't go their way, and have a volcanic temper to show their displeasure.

Relationships:

Dragons need love and affection and they find these attributes in the Rooster and Snake. The Tiger and a fellow Dragon also make suitable partners. Horses are too quick and sly for the Dragon, whilst the Dog clashes in quick time.

We took Zack (my favourite nephew) out to dinner. His fortune said:

"An optimist is always able to see the bright side of other people's troubles."

Pretty clever for something that came out of a fortune cookie.

How do you read this fortune cookie saying? It can be seen as optimists enjoy other people's troubles. Or, it could be seen as optimists can find something good in anything. Are there other ways you can read something else into it?

In writing we try to make our meaning clear. But, at times something we intended to be clear can have other meanings read into it. Take a look at some sentences you have written. Can you find any that could have muddled or different meanings?

I always save the fortune from the fortune cookie when we get Chinese food. Some are pretty silly, some are just plain out there and yet the odd one really does get me thinking. However, they do start to clutter up my working space so now and then I write them into my personal blog (the good ones) and then get rid of all the little bits of paper they come on.
