Dragon Symbolism and Meaning in Feng Shui In the Chinese Zodiac, the revered dragon is the only mythical animal and is the fourth in line, after the rabbit and before the snake. The story goes that the dragon could have easily come in first place, but it stopped along the way to blow a helpful wind to carry the rabbit across the river on a floating branch. Then the dragon took a detour to rescue a village in drought by calling in rain to nourish the land. Therefore, the dragon is the rainmaker and brings in winds of change, with great success and prosperity. The dragon is well-loved in Asian culture, where it’s seen as a brave and beneficent energy, in contrast to the more savage European version. In feng shui, the dragon is connected to the earth element and also the east direction, where the sun rises. The dragon is depicted as a bearded snake with four legs. The dragon is the yang (masculine) counterpart to the phoenix, which is yin (feminine) energy. The pair are also a symbol of the imperial family: The dragon represents the emperor, while the phoenix is connected to the empress energy. Together with the tortoise and the tiger, they make up the four celestial animals of feng shui. Working with the dragon can help you to cultivate the yang aspects of your home’s feng shui.
