Introducing Me, A Typical "Scorpio Dragon"

I've never been all that interested in horoscopes and such to be honest... but I recently took the time to research information about my zodiac signs (黄道带) - both the Western and Chinese ones, as lot of people would agree with what their own zodiac traits say about them. In Western astrology I'm a Scorpio (天蝎座), which is a water (水) sign and in my Chinese animal sign is the Dragon (龙), and being born in 1988, I am an Earth (土) Dragon.

And after reading through many lists of "typical" traits on different astrology/horoscope websites, most of them were pretty much the same, give or take one or two and with some words being replaced with other synonyms. And I was surprised to see that nearly all the traits mentioned described me down to a tee! Weird but cool... Lol.

Apparently (according to Wikipedia resources), my likes include: activity, mysteries, secrets, winning, being acknowledged and strategy, whilst my dislikes include: being analyzed, being asked personal questions, people who think they know more than I do and having to trust a stranger.

According to Wikipedia's resources, a typical Dragon's positive traits are: noble, ambitious, dignified, charismatic, vibrant, magnanimous, expansive and powerful.

However, "my" negative traits are: ruthless, imperious, judgmental, arrogant, dogmatic, pompous, despotic, intolerant and demanding.

According to astrologers, Scorpio's are most compatible with Pisces, Cancer and Taurus (apparently, relationships with Taurus people are considered passionate, but can be complicated), whilst the Rat, Monkey, Snake and Rooster are supposed to be most compatible with Dragons.

So there you go... I'm still not sure if I fully believe everything about horoscopes - I won't become someone who reads the paper everyday or weekly magazines to help determine and guide my love and work lives, etc! Or become someone who'll pick only people born under my "compatible signs" either... Lol. But it was very interesting to see how my zodiac signs, by coincidence or whatever, described we very well!
