POSITIVE

This Dragon is probably the most flamboyant and vibrant of all the Chinese astrological signs.  Highly confident and bold, Dragon people are born leaders, and usually do well in careers that give them a position of leadership.  They have a keen sense of imagination, and often dream up wild schemes and ideas, most of which are not feasible. Dragon people are eccentric and their lives are complex.  They have a very passionate nature and abundant health. Dragon people are usually the one who makes it on top, but in exchange of that success leads them tired and unfulfilled

NEGATIVE

Fortunately for them however, Dragons seem to be endowed with good fortune, which saves them from making major mistakes and helps them to excel when they apply themselves correctly.  The intrinsic element of this sign is earth, and its direction is east-southeast.

Kabuhayan noong panahon ng Kastila

Pinakilala ng mga kastila ang sistemang pamilihan. Ang sistemang pamilihan ay ang pagtatakda ng presyo sa isang bagay o pagkain. Ang sistema ay nagmula sa simpleng sistema ng pagpapalitan ng kalakalan hangang sa napalitan ito ng bagong sistemang ipinakilala ng mga Kastila sa ating mga ninuno noong 1521. At ito ay tinawag na sistemang barter. Dahil sa hindi husto ang kaalaman at hindi nakapag-aral ang mga Filipino noong panahon ng Kastila, nakaranas ng pag-aaubuso at diskriminasyon. Binigyang pabor ng mga Kastila ang mga tao na nagbibigay sa kanila ng benepisyo tulad na lamang ng mga Tsino sapagka't mas malaki ang buwis na kanilang binayaran. Nagkaroon din ng klasipikasyon sa estado ng tao noong panahon ng Kastila. Ang mga Pilipino ay tinawag na indio samantalang mestizo ang mga Pilipinong ang ama ay Tsino at ang ina ay Pilipino. Kung may kabutihan na naidulot ang mga Kastila sa ekonomiya ng Pilipinas, mayroon ding mga suliraning dulot ang sistemang ipinakilala ng mga Kastila.
