The guardian deity for those born in the Year of the Dragon (Tatsu) and the Year of the Snake (Hebi) is the Bodhisattva Fugen. Fugen is a symbol of an enlightened mind and is considered the wisest among all bodhisattvas. His wisdom bestows upon you the intelligence to bring prosperity and longevity, serving as assistance in realizing the self you desire. This enables a lifetime of good health and the ability to enjoy enduring happiness both materially and spiritually.
From the moment we are born into this world, it is said that we are influenced by the Earth's revolution. The Chinese zodiac consists of ten celestial stems (Jikkan: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui) and twelve earthly branches (Juunishi: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai), combining to form a 60-year cycle. Since ancient times, these numerical representations, especially the twelve earthly branches, have been used in calendars, timekeeping, and directional purposes. Each of these twelve branches corresponds to a guardian deity, and the idea that the guardian deity for one's birth year can influence one's fortune is rooted in this belief.
Famous examples include Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Three-Faced Daikokuten and Uesugi Kenshin's Mudfoot Bishamonten, but many Sengoku warlords are known to have prayed to their guardian deities and dedicated statues as symbols of faith, seeking victory in battles and military achievements. From such examples, it is well known that placing a Buddha statue as a symbol of protection and fortune in one's life is an effective means of fulfilling wishes. While it is good to choose the main deity of your family's sect, it is even more appropriate to select the guardian deity corresponding to your born fate, ensuring the most suitable protection.
