This animal has a dragonhead on a tortoise's body and is used to dissolve the negative effect of the Grand Duke also known as the Tai Sui. The Grand Duke moves according to the position of the planet Jupiter. For 2009, the TaiSui is situated at North East. Keep the North East area quiet. Do not dig, construct, renovate, redecorate or repair in North East this year. It is recommended that you place the dragon tortoise facing North East to appease the Grand Duke. Also remember to sit with your back facing North East (do not confront the Tai Sui by facing it) when you read, eat, watch TV, operate computer, etc.
