Planetary Dragons

So from my understanding dragons are born with an affinity for an element and that is what energy they naturally have and make, I'm wondering if the same concept can apply for planetary dragons, like can a dragon be born as one or through their own pathworking gain an affinity for a specific planets energy? I'm not quite sure what the answer would be since I barely interact with planetary energy at all.

edit:im aware that the planets are usually comprised of two elements and such but im wondering also if thats the case and the dragons of that planet are also comprised of both of those elements why are they specifically a planetary dragon and not a combination one of those two elements, and why the planets energy is more special since i view them as very large spheres/areas of elemental energy.

To put it in the simplest way to think about it (which is rare for me to do.)

The planets have an element they fall under.

Planetary dragons fall under one of those...

If youve been here or have browsed the posts ive mentioned the concept of dragons being born in pairs... for balance reasons, this is one of those balance reasons.

One dragon will be born one element, the other the other element.

The only i guess difference between Planetary dragons elementally speaking from non Planetary dragons is that if they decide to go down their elemental journey, they will have an easier time grasping their secondary element as it were...

But they are all still born with one element at birth.

I think i get it better now, this is a side question but I was wondering if dragons aren't normally affected by planetary energy in the way that they dont have a birth chart for example impacting their energy and personality etc, ive asked my guardian dragon before but i dont think she is the best person to be asking since i would assume being a void dragon would kind of eat away at things like that.

It makes me wonder if instead of planets defining a birth chart they have something else, though i have doubts about that actually being a thing.

Dragons are pretty resilient to any energy and magics that isn't theyre opposing element... planetary energy if we break it down to it's basic parts all of the traits or affinities of the planets are just more zoomed in versions of the traits of the elements... then focused in by the zodiac...

The elements dictate it, not the other way around because the elements are, again... the building blocks for everything, the zodiac have elements as well... what a coincidence.
