1988 - the year of which animal and what are its characteristics?
Every 12 years, the sign and symbol of the year returns, the change of signs is due to the oriental calendar, with which almost the whole world is checked today. Returns not only the symbol of the year, expressed by animals, but also the element. Wood is replaced by Fire, Fire by Earth, Earth by Metal, and Metal by Water. So, for example, people born in 1988 were born in the year of the Earth (Yellow) Dragon. And they certainly have some important differences from the Dragons of other years.
General information
The Chinese calendar assures that 1988 was the year of the Dragon. It started on February 17 and ended on February 5, 1989. The eastern horoscope especially distinguishes this animal, since only the emperor was endowed with the title of dragon in ancient China. It means that born in 1988 associated with the energy of power... Power often controls a person, controls his passions and emotions. But the Dragons of 88 are different - they have a very rare poise. This is associated with the fact that the year is in the element of the Earth: that is, they are quite confident, firmly on their feet, and even, in a sense, down-to-earth people. Their strength is that they can set clear goals. They work them out for the smallest tasks, and solving them one by one, they come to the main result.
And these definitely positive, enviable qualities are combined with such strong negative traits as despotism and the desire to subdue. And here it is important how the individual qualities of a person will correct natural inclinations.For some, the same despotism will be viewed as hyper-demanding and workaholism, but some Dragons seem to be real tyrants. Representatives of this sign are easier than many other people to cope with the choice of profession.
They clearly know what they want, they do not break doubts. They understand themselves and their strengths, therefore they can often achieve success precisely because of the correct choice of their life's work.
Main characteristics
Those born under the sign of the Dragon can rely on the numbers 1,6,7 - they bring them good luck, but 3 and 8 are unlucky. White, gold and silver become favorite colors, and blue and green become unlucky ones. Green chrysolite and amethyst will bring them good luck; bronze is the best metal for them. Dragons born in 1988 do better on Monday, but on Friday their energy is no longer so strong.
The undoubtedly strong side of the sign is the ability to analyze your actions, work, relationships and make the correct, most objective conclusions. They not only know how to admit their mistakes, they do it without unnecessary emotions and hysterics. These are decisive and outspoken people who will not hold a stone in their bosom. They are loyal to friends, know how to be friends, and know that a good relationship takes time and effort. The obvious disadvantages of the Dragon include a certain aggressiveness and vanity. Sometimes their temper and impulsiveness appear where the situation is not so acute and deserves a calmer reaction. But those around them do not feel resentment about such emotionality if they understand the Dragon well and see the goals behind this intolerance.
Vanity and ambition are key features of the sign. These people love praise, attention, and general jubilation over their success. They know how to accept compliments and congratulations, they will not be overly flirtatious and embarrassed.
Modesty in relation to their own celebrations and victories is not about them. They love guests, gifts, beautiful toasts and exquisite greetings. They like to bring this fun into their lives, in the center of which is themselves.
Women
The element of the Earth influences these Dragons, makes them balanced, calm, not prone to external panic. Even if in their souls they have complete misunderstanding, fear and anxiety, they will not strain others with an external manifestation of internal confusion. It is very important for them not to lose face, so that, as soon as they allow themselves to have a tantrum or a nervous breakdown, they seem to run out of strength. They can only trust those closest to them, but until the end what is happening in their souls, no one will ever know.
The Dragon woman is not ready for public scandals. She can flare up, raise her voice, but just not arrange a showdown on the viewer. And even if everything is boiling in her soul, she will find an opportunity to calm down and come to the right decision. As a leader, she will be known as a strict and demanding, but fair and active boss. She will not imitate violent activity, but will really work.
The Dragon Woman is good at actions related to children, therefore, in the pedagogical field, she can build an outstanding career. It is in working with children that she will show maximum diligence, endurance and will be able to reveal talents. What she once failed to fully realize herself, she will do with her students.

Description of the astrological signs of the zodiac
More accurate characteristic there will be a description of Dragons in relation to the signs of the zodiac.
- Aries. The combination of signs strengthens the key qualities, makes the positive ones more pronounced, but the negative ones also become more noticeable. These are very active people who are often pioneers and innovators. They are charming and cheerful, capable of charging others with vitality and readiness to storm new heights. They are often let down by the inability to wait, impatience. They are afraid to waste energy, do not like to mess with those who are less risky, decisive, may be dismissive of people who are not so indefatigable.
- Taurus. Realistic, pragmatic, constructive - these are the three main features of these people. They will never ignite a flame if they are not sure that they can cope with its consequences. They try to protect themselves as much as possible. They are known as reinsurers around them, and this trait can sometimes turn them into alarmists. They make good financiers. In love, they are prone to dramatization and excessive sentimentality.
- Twins. Bright Dragons who love to shine and impress. But, alas, this impression does not always correspond to the true state of affairs. Impatient, they do not know how to stock up on vitality, they are not always true to their promises. Deliberately, they do not want to offend anyone, but they often do it with their irritability. For a good job and self-confidence, they need tone, a constant challenge (albeit not a very grandiose one).
- Cancer. Their main features are stubbornness and the ability to give an accurate assessment of the situation. These are defenders, the reliability of which is beyond doubt. They are often approached for advice, and they generously share their rational thoughts with people. They are authoritative, judicious, can deftly juggle professional skills - they are able to take place in several areas at once. The main thing for them is the family, and they will spare no effort and time to protect it. They take care of their peace of mind.
- A lion. These leaders are not at all familiar with routine. They are ready to do anything, as long as these actions are not monotonous. Monetary reward is not so important to them as the inner fire that burns in them in the process of working on an interesting project. They need equally bright partners, although in terms of love they often disappoint their soul mate. They can't stand a long passion, they are a little lazy in personal relationships. They are inherent in boasting, but harmless. If praise comes to them more often, they are ready to move mountains.
- Virgo. These are well-aimed arrows (in every sense). They understand more clearly than others in which direction they really need to move. Great strategists who can wait and analyze. Often their appearance is deceiving: there is great potential in the "gray mice". In the struggle for the throne, they are ready to make a forbidden trick. Careerists can cheat, but this is not always a bargain with their conscience. If there is a partner with a lighter attitude to fame and success nearby, he will help people of this sign not to make fatal mistakes.
- Scales. There is no artificiality, false brilliance in these people. They are usually appreciated, respected, they know how to please, but they achieve such a reputation by work and again by work. Often these are very beautiful, spectacular people who can make themselves a royal image for "3 rubles".But they are calm about their appearance, for them actions, authority, efforts are much more important. Rarely give yourself a break. Whatever you do, it will all be served under the most beautiful, delicate, elegant sauce. They love adoration, they do not like mediocre braggart. They prefer a peaceful path to war, action to rest, and plans to dreams.
- Scorpion. You definitely need to be careful with these people. In a couple of steps they can destroy an opponent, anyone who got in their way. It is better not to argue with them, to maintain neutrality. These are sarcastic people, although they have talents, bright abilities and skills. They love and know how to work, but they are arrogant, touchy and vindictive. When paired, they need a gentle and generous person who will balance their ardor and passions and focus on the main positive qualities.
- Sagittarius. Enthusiasts, even adventurers in something. They love to take risks and reveal themselves as much as possible in stressful situations. Calm and routine piss them off. They are generous, peaceful, ready to help and love the whole world. They are sociable and resourceful, which often helps them a lot. In love, the desires of a partner are guessed, but they are not always true.
- Capricorn. Everything in life comes to them with considerable work. They climb to their main peaks for a long time. They are ambitious, hungry for power and know how to dispose of it. They walk straight, do not splurge, carefully choose friends, partners, life partners. They are a little closed, they do not want to let even the closest ones into their souls.
- Aquarius. Independent, easy-going, energetic. They are not afraid of criticism, they do not see obstacles where many simply turn off the path. They always know how to get out on the exam. They can postpone important matters until the last, but still manage to complete them. They take on ambitious projects, they don't like to waste their time on trifles.
- Fishes. Very sensual people with excellent creative thinking. Idealists, ready to save and transform the world. Brave and adventurous, captivating. There is a sin of infidelity in them, but they are often forgiven for this frivolity. The main thing for them is not to deviate from the intended path.
Characteristics of different aspects of life can be no less important.
Finance and career
Material stability is one of the values of the Dragon. They do not like unexpected large expenses, they nervously endure them, but they know how to turn the situation in such a way that they still do not remain at a loss. They know how to save, are thrifty and economical, they like to spend money on loved ones, but with good calculation. They don't make frivolous purchases, but even with a small income, they know how to distribute funds so that there is enough for everyday life, and for arranging a nest, and for recreation, and for the development of children.
In their careers, it is difficult to lead them astray. Even if there are many advisors around, the Dragons know what to do. It is difficult to tempt them with a large salary and favorable conditions if they clearly know that their place is not there. They go forward, do not allow their own ambitions to be silenced, do not rest on their laurels.
They can build a good career in the field of pedagogy, culture, law, business analytics.
Love and relationships
Loyalty to a companion is not the Dragon's hobbyhorse. This does not mean that all representatives of the sign are necessarily cheating on their partner. But the taboo on treason is not clearly in their life, they will decide on an affair if they themselves will forgive it in advance. However, if they make a mistake, they will not repeat it again.
They are easily forgiven because they are strong and attractive people. Often they pull the partner along with them, and therefore cheat, and therefore the partner, even humiliated and insulted, quickly forgets the grievances. In love, they are bright and demanding natures, passionate and a little insidious.
Compatibility
A perfect union for the Dragon can develop with the Rat, Monkey and Rooster. True, in a marriage with a Rooster, betrayal can be mutual. But sometimes, without them, the relationship loses its former passion, so both are happy with it. You shouldn't start a relationship with a Rabbit or a Dog. At the very least, you shouldn't be in a hurry.Before running down the aisle, a year, or even two or three, you should take a closer look at each other.
The goat will not be able to maintain the passion of the Dragon for a long time, the Pig may get bored with the fact that the cult of the Dragon in the family will be excessive. Financial friction may arise with the Horse, and a struggle for power may begin with the same Dragon. With the Ox, the Dragon is better off just being friends, and with the Snake, the matter may not go further than a stormy love relationship.
Talismans
As already mentioned, amethyst can be a powerful talisman for the Dragon. It sharpens intuition, helps to choose the main thing among the vain and make accurate decisions. The Dragon can make any jewelry his talisman, because this fabulous creature often guarded the treasure chests. Therefore, people of this sign love jewelry and know a lot about fine jewelry.
Any figurine or pendant with a dragon can also become a talisman. The statuette should be kept in the work area. To make the amulet work, activate the eye zone for it - draw tiny dots in the eye area with a black marker.
And do not forget that information is good because you can analyze it, draw conclusions and learn from other people's mistakes. There are no good or bad signs, there is only an inability to accept oneself and learn to work with one's own potential.
