Thirteenth Dragon?
According to some traditions, there is a thirteenth Dragon King, or, perhaps, Dragon Queen. Called Joka, this dragon does not rule over any month; instead, when she shows up in someone's fortune, it's to bring bad luck into their life. There's not much someone can do if they've ended up with a Joka influence. They'll just have to tough it out until it passes.
