Why does a sign have two elements?
Depending on the source, the Dragon is Earth or Wood. Both answers are right; they measure different things.
The branch element
Each earthly branch belongs to an element. This is the one BaZi, the four pillars of destiny, uses: the four branches that close the seasons (Ox, Dragon, Goat, Dog) are Earth there.
The fixed element
Popular horoscopes give each animal the element of its season: Wood in spring, Fire in summer, Metal in autumn, Water in winter. The Dragon, a spring animal, becomes Wood there.
