PHOENIX HOUSE:

Phoenix (in classical mythology) was an unique bird, resembling an eagle but with rich red and gold plumage, that lived for five or six centuries in the Arabian desert (it is also known as the Arabian bird). It burnt itself on a funeral pyre ignited by the sun and fanned by its own wings, and rose from the ashes with renewed youth to live through another cycle. As a phoenix, rise from the ashes with renewed Vigor and Vitality!

DRAGON HOUSE:

Red Dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck for people who are worthy of it in East Asian culture. A dragon is a large, serpent- like legendary creature that appears in the folklore of many cultures around the world. Dragons are Smart and Intelligent!

FALCON HOUSE: Falcon symbolizes vigilance. In other words, an opportunity for big positive changes in your life is close at hand. Moreover, this opportunity will require proper planning and strategy as well as action on your part. In this case, similar to the stingray, the falcon asks you to trust that you have all the tools and knowledge to take advantage of this opportunity. However, your success depends on your quick reactions. Alternatively, the falcon symbolism reminds you to stay focused and grateful for all that is coming your way. Furthermore, believe that you can soar high and see things with greater vision! Force and Courage are its true embodiment.

EAGLE HOUSE:

Eagles are large, powerfully built birds of prey, with heavy heads and beaks. Eagles do not mix with other birds but only enjoy flying at their high altitude. It is this characteristic that makes eagles unique birds. An eagle will never surrender to the size or strength of its prey. Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large, hooked beaks for ripping flesh from their prey, strong, muscular legs, and powerful. Eagles symbolize Power and Strength!
