The Dragon is the only mythical creature among the twelve animals and is known as the symbol of imperial power; emperors sat on the Dragon Throne. Birth rates in China are known to rise noticeably in Dragon years, because the sign is associated with luck and success. People born in the Year of the Dragon are self-confident, lively and eye-catching; they dream big and have the energy to make those dreams real.
The shadow side is arrogance and impatience. The Dragon may expect others to move as fast as it does, dislikes criticism and is quick to enter power struggles. Its generosity and protective nature, however, win the affection of those close to it. When it learns to share success and to listen, it builds a strong community around itself.
Love and relationships
In love the Dragon is generous, passionate and protective, bringing great energy and showy enthusiasm to a relationship. It expects admiration and loyalty from its partner and finds it hard to take criticism. While it is warm with everyone around it, setting its ego aside in a close relationship can be difficult. It is highly compatible with the Rat, Monkey and Rooster and may experience a clash of values with the Dog.
Career
The Dragon succeeds in visible, large-scale fields such as leadership, entrepreneurship, media, management, engineering and the arts. With its broad vision and determination, it can launch big projects. It dislikes dealing with details, so it needs a reliable team. When it steers clear of arrogance and stays open to collaboration, it achieves a lasting rise in its career.
