Born July 17, 1952 his primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Water Dragon. The flamboyant Dragon is an integral part of every Chinese New Year celebration, and why not! He often comes across as strikingly or mysteriously different or unusual. Maybe it is his fashionable dress or his high energy. It is no wonder he has a lot of pride and self confidence. He generally commands respect wherever he is. He boldly confronts the mightiest obstacles and accepts challenges that seem beyond the reach of others. He is not only decisive but, having made a decision, tenaciously hold onto the idea, moving heaven and earth if necessary, to fulfill his dreams. Water won't put out the Dragon's fire, but this is definitely a more tolerant, more easy going Dragon. He may, however, be less likely to complete all those big projects he starts. For a Dragon he is introspective and thoughtful and can excel at the arts, writing and, or, philosophy.
