Your gifts with the Red Dragon solar seal
You notice at once when someone around you is struggling, and you act before others even register anything — you cook, organise, catch people as they fall. In projects you are often the person who makes the start and pulls everyone else along while they are still hesitating. People entrust things to you because they sense that you won't let them down.
Red Dragon: shadow & growth
Your protectiveness easily tips into holding on: you decide for others because you believe you know better, and then you call control care. Ask yourself honestly — are you caring for someone right now, or binding them to you so that they need you? For you, growth means letting go and bearing the fact that others walk their own paths and are allowed to make their own mistakes.
Red Dragon at work
Healing professions, education, midwifery, family therapy, leadership.
Red Dragon in relationships
You love in a motherly, protective way. Partners value your warmth.
How to live your Red Dragon solar seal
Before you step in for someone, pause briefly and ask: was I asked for this, or do I want to help because I can't stand being idle? Each week, deliberately set aside time in which you only care for yourself and look after no one. And practise handing off one task a day without checking how it was done.
