These values are computed from the Earthly Branch and tropical sign, not looked up in a table. The year element follows the sexagenary cycle; the sign facts follow the tropical zodiac.
Libra is Cardinal Air ruled by Venus, the diplomat who wants balance, beauty, everyone at the table comfortable. The Dragon is yang Earth, which doesn't really want balance; it wants to win and look good winning. These two don't align, so the Libra Dragon burns real energy keeping the charm and the appetite in the same outfit. The result is a velvet operator who disarms a room while quietly steering it toward an outcome they'd already chosen. Venus makes the Dragon's ambition elegant rather than naked, soft lighting laid over hard will. They love attentively, demand a certain aesthetic, lean hard toward partnership, yet the Dragon underneath still wants to be the more impressive half and resents being managed. At work they negotiate beautifully and rarely concede anything that matters. The trouble sits in the gap between the harmonious face and the territorial drive. They'll agree to keep the peace, then maneuver around the agreement and call it tact. The honest version of this person, when they let it surface, is the one who admits they wanted to win the whole time.
Personality
At core, this is someone whose Dragon year makes the impossible plan sound inevitable, filtered through a Libra sun that brings graceful even-handedness. As a cardinal sign, the Libra side starts things. It is happiest at the beginning of a venture, less so in the long maintenance that follows. The blend reads as a study in two minds, the kind of person who thinks in scale and pulls others into its orbit while wanting, underneath, what every Libra wants: balance and a fellow aesthete.
In love
In love, the Dragon is generous and theatrical, and quietly wants to be admired, while the Libra side gives harmony and partnership. What this person ultimately wants from a partner is balance and a fellow aesthete, and they give devotion the Dragon's way. The 辰 branch is a spring sign, and that cool-then-committed cadence is precisely how this person warms to someone.
Career
At work, the Dragon thinks in scale and pulls others into its orbit. The Libra layer adds harmony and partnership, and the cardinal cast means this person starts things. With Venus as its ruler, the Libra Dragon thrives when it is allowed to alternate between instinct and method.
The shadow side
The shadow side is specific. The Dragon in this person can confuse its own confidence for the actual facts; the Libra in them can over-rely on graceful even-handedness. Under stress the two failure modes can feed each other, can confuse its own confidence for the actual facts reinforcing a Libra that charges ahead. Naming it is most of the cure: this combination grows the day it stops defending the weakness as a virtue.
The Libra Dragon combines the Dragon year (Earth, yang) with a Libra sun (Air, Cardinal, ruled by Venus). The Libra Dragon sets Dragon's magnetic self-belief against Libra's graceful even-handedness. The two systems describe different textures here (the settling weight of Earth underneath an airy, idea-led temperament), and the interesting part of this combination is how those two currents negotiate.
Do the Eastern and Western sides of a Libra Dragon agree?
Not directly. The Earth of the Dragon year and the Air of the Libra sun describe different temperaments, and the interesting part of this combination is how those two currents take turns.
Who is the Dragon most compatible with?
In the branch relations, the Dragon's natural ally (六合) is the Rooster, its trine partners (三合) are the Monkey and Rat, and its classic clash (六沖) is the Dog.
