Samantabhadra Bodhisattva: Guardian of the Dragon & Snake Zodiac

The Eight Zodiac Guardians – Divine Protectors of Destiny

In the tapestry of Buddhist cosmology, the Eight Zodiac Guardians stand as celestial protectors, each governing one of the twelve zodiac signs. These divine deities embody compassion, wisdom, and boundless strength guiding sentient beings toward enlightenment while offering blessings of protection, prosperity, and fulfilment.t

For those seeking balance in both spiritual and material pursuits, the Eight Zodiac Guardians serve as lifelong benefactors harmonising Heaven, Earth, and Human energies through their sacred resonance. Each guardian reflects the innate virtues and destiny pathways of the zodiac they watch over, forming an unbreakable bond between the individual and the divine.

The Zodiac Guardian for Those Born in the Year of the Dragon and Snake

Blog 12.05 Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Guardian of the Dragon Snake Zodiac Samantabhadra Bodhisattva

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (普贤菩萨), whose name translates to universal worthiness, is the designated Zodiac Guardian for those born in the Year of the Dragon and the Year of the Snake. Devotees born in the Year of the Dragon 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000 and 2012 and those born in the Year of the Snake 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013 are blessed under his all encompassing virtues and protection.

As one of the principal bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism, Samantabhadra is revered for embodying right action, virtuous conduct and the power to transform vows into reality. In some traditions, he is depicted alongside Gautama Buddha and Manjusri Bodhisattva, forming a sacred triad in which Manjusri symbolises wisdom, Gautama Buddha embodies enlightenment and Samantabhadra represents enlightened action, the ability to turn insight into tangible, beneficial results.

For those born under the Dragon sign, Samantabhadra refines their natural authority, presence and ambition, guiding them to advance with composed strength, integrity and skilful execution. For those born under the Snake sign, he amplifies their innate wisdom, intuition and adaptability, empowering them to navigate complex cycles with quiet confidence and strategic clarity. Under his guidance, Dragon and Snake born devotees are empowered to align intention with action, transforming aspirations into lived success.

Divine Alignment and the 2026 Dragon & Snake Zodiac Forecast

As we enter the consecutive years of the Crimson Horse in 2026 and the Red Goat in 2027, corresponding to Bing Wu (丙午) and Ding Wei (丁未), Chinese metaphysical tradition views this period as a rare cycle of intensified Fire energy. With both the heavenly stems and earthly branches rooted in Fire, these years are historically associated with rapid transition, heightened emotions and accelerated transformation. Past Bing Wu and Ding Wei cycles have aligned with major turning points such as the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty in 1127 and the onset of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, reinforcing their reputation as moments of significant change. Rather than signalling calamity, this period is better understood as a gateway for deep recalibration, where old structures give way and new opportunities emerge swiftly. Success during these years favours those who remain adaptable, clear minded and aligned with strategic preparation and the guidance of their Zodiac Guardian.

Dragon (龙): A Year of Composed Momentum and Skillful Navigation

In 2026, the Dragon steps into a landscape of meaningful progress shaped by discipline, composure and precision. The Eight Seats Star (八座) elevates your capacity to execute with excellence, while the Sky Relief Star (天解) and Relief God Star (解神) dissolve roadblocks at pivotal moments. This is not a year of careless leaps; it is a year of considered moves and steady ascent. As responsibilities widen, your circle of like minded allies grows, revealing collaborations that reward integrity and preparation.

Yet vigilance remains paramount. With Leopard Tail Star (豹尾), Moon Sha Star (月煞) and Blood Knife Star (血刃) in the periphery, success depends on tempering confidence with care. Mind your words, prioritise safety and preserve emotional equilibrium. When ambition is guided by restraint, the Dragon’s presence becomes both formidable and reassuring.

Overall, fortune trends upward, favouring those who pair capability with humility. You will encounter moments that ask for patience over pride and diligence over display, the precise choices that convert opportunity into lasting gain. Expect recognition in career or studies, smoother resolutions to complex problems and timely support from benefactors. Maintain situational awareness, review commitments carefully, keep timelines realistic and protect personal well being. It is a year to demonstrate mature power, measured, principled and quietly unstoppable.

Snake (蛇): A Year of Resilient Growth and Strategic Renewal

In 2026, the Snake is invited to harness wisdom and adaptability, the defining traits of this sign, to rise above uncertainty. Under the guidance of the Surpassing Path Star (陌越) and the Annual Prosperity Star (岁禄), progress and recognition await those who remain composed under pressure. Your ability to assess situations with calm precision enables you to turn transitions into triumphs and make strategic moves that align with long term goals.

At the same time, the presence of the Sickness Star (病符), Broken Star (破碎) and Death God Star (亡神) warns that well being, emotional balance and relationships require special care. This is a year that calls for balance, knowing when to advance boldly and when to retreat gracefully. Overextension, whether in work, finances or personal commitments, can erode clarity and vitality.

The year unfolds as a test of inner resilience and thoughtful pacing. While the path forward features promising breakthroughs in career and learning, progress will require discipline, rest and strong boundaries. With the support of benefactors and the guidance of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, the Snake can restore equilibrium and chart a renewed course marked by purpose, poise and prosperity.

Crafted from Imperial Harvest grade sandalwood sourced from trees no less than 80 years old and aged for decades to deepen their aroma and tonal richness, the Sandalwood Samantabhadra Bodhisattva radiates warmth, grounding and spiritual refinement. Its natural grain and fragrance reflect the quiet strength cultivated through time, patience and devotion.

Since the illustrious reigns of Emperors Kang Xi and Qian Long, sandalwood has been treasured for its ability to harmonise Minor Yin (少阴), the aspect that governs intuition, emotional resilience and the accumulation of indirect wealth. For those born under the Dragon and Snake signs, this treasure stabilises the mind, enhances inner composure and supports clear, strategic judgement in moments of change.

Together, the Fine Jadeite and Sandalwood Samantabhadra Bodhisattva treasures align Heaven and Earth Luck, empowering devotees with disciplined action, enlightened clarity and steadfast prosperity as they navigate the transformative energies of 2026.

Design and Symbolism

Every Imperial Harvest Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is a masterwork of sacred design, where each emblem reflects his all-encompassing virtues of right action, perseverance and fulfilled aspiration. For those born in the Years of the Dragon and Snake, these symbols serve as powerful metaphysical anchors, guiding them to overcome obstacles, seize timely opportunities and progress with composed strength.

1. Six Tusked White Elephant: Triumph Over Obstacles and Mastery of the Senses

Blog 12.05 Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Guardian of the Dragon Snake Zodiac Six Tusked White Elephant

Drawing inspiration from traditional depictions, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is portrayed riding a white six tusked elephant, a revered symbol of inner power, stability and the capacity to conquer challenges. In Buddhist teachings, the six tusks represent the overcoming of attachment to the six senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, touch and thought.

For Dragon and Snake born individuals, this emblem empowers them with the focus, insight and determination to remain aligned with their higher goals, even when distractions arise. In Imperial Feng Shui, the number six is also considered especially auspicious, symbolising six key sources of income: career, business, investments, windfall, trading and inheritance. The six tusked white elephant therefore embodies both spiritual mastery and material abundance, helping devotees convert effort into sustainable success.

2. Ruyi Scepter with Wish Fulfilling Jewel: Fulfilment, Authority and Smooth Progress

Blog 12.05 Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Guardian of the Dragon Snake Zodiac Ruyi Scepter with Wish Fulfilling Jewel

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva wields the revered Ruyi Scepter, a ceremonial artefact whose name derives from the Chinese characters 如 (ru, “as” or “in accordance with”) and 意 (yi, “intention” or “wish”). Together, they signify “as you wish”, the realisation of one’s sincere aspirations.

In the Imperial Harvest design, the Ruyi Scepter is further adorned with a powerful wish fulfilling jewel. This combination symbolises the removal of obstacles, allowing smoother progress in personal and professional endeavours. For Dragon and Snake born devotees, this emblem represents the alignment of intention, opportunity and action, granting them the clarity, confidence and celestial support needed to achieve their goals with grace and precision.

3. Sun and Moon: Continuous Prosperity and Harmonious Balance

Set against the backdrop of the ever revolving Sun and Moon, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva blesses his devotees with enduring prosperity, balance and cyclical abundance. The Sun symbolises vitality, success and outward achievement, while the Moon represents intuition, emotional harmony and inner reflection.

For those born under the Dragon and Snake signs, the Sun and Moon motif signifies the importance of balancing drive with rest, ambition with mindfulness and action with contemplation. It reflects the promise of continuous prosperity and opportunities that arise throughout the year, not in fleeting bursts but as a steady, cyclical flow aligned with Heaven’s timing. Under this celestial alignment, devotees are empowered to thrive in both favourable and challenging seasons, supported by Samantabhadra’s unwavering guidance.

The Consecrated Legacy — Grand Master David Goh’s Spiritual Activation

Before each Imperial Harvest treasure reaches its destined custodian, it undergoes the sacred Five Pillars of Imperial Consecration, personally overseen by Grand Master David Goh. This meticulous process awakens the divine potential within every creation, transforming it into a metaphysical vessel of Heaven’s authority.

1. Auspicious Date & Time Selection

2. Handwritten Prayer Petitions

Every consecration begins with a personally crafted prayer petition, meticulously written by hand by Grand Master David Goh himself. This sacred invocation calls upon the heavenly forces to descend and bless the client’s treasure, aligning it with their specific aspirations, be it for prosperity, authority, harmony, or breakthrough.

3. Hand-Drawn Talismans

The sacred artefact is then anointed with Imperial Vermillion, a consecrated red pigment steeped in ritual purity and symbolism. Used by emperors and high priests, this vermillion marks the completion of the metaphysical activation, symbolising vitality, destiny transformation, and Heaven’s mandate.

5. Imperial Harvest Crystal Artefacts

The final pillar involves the use of sacred Imperial Harvest Ceremonial Artefacts, including the famed Imperial Harvest Big Dipper Constellation Candle Set and talismanic instruments.
