Dragon Time

It is hard to sharpen your Dragon (Masculine) Energy if you are spending a lot of time around Tiger (Feminine) Energy, because unconsciously we emulate those around us. If you spend excessive time with Tigers, you will likely find your Dragon Energy moving further toward the Tiger pole. Likewise, your Tiger partner will become more Dragon-like simply by spending long periods of time in your presence or in the presence of other Dragons. It might seem hard to take time apart—you’ve likely chosen your partner because you truly love their company—but if you spend too much time together you will demagnetize just like two magnets that rub up against each other. Instead, spend some time with fellow Dragons, and encourage your partner to spend more time with Tiger friends. This will recharge your polarity by creating some space between you.

Peter’s (my husband) Entrepreneur Organization (EO) forum meets for a half day once a month, and each year they go on two weekend retreats and one longer international trip. It’s not a huge amount of time, but when they are together, they make the most of it. On their international trips, they study and learn about the country and the culture they are visiting, they tour other successful international businesses, and they find time to learn more about themselves and each other. They expose their blind spots, both good and bad, and learn to hear hard truths by developing a thick skin for feedback and constructive criticism. Peter returns from his trips energized, deeply motivated, and squarely on purpose.

Spending time with fellow Dragons will help to charge your Dragon Energy and remind you of your Dragon depth through their natural inclination toward challenge and competition. If you have somehow lost your way, Dragon time will help put you back on track with your purpose and will inspire you to push yourself a little harder and a little further.
