Chinese Zodiac Dragon — personality, years & compatibility

Dragon (龙)

What Chinese astrology says about this sign — character, love, career, and its years.

The Dragon is the only mythical beast among the twelve: shrinking or swelling at will, rising or hiding, summoning wind and rain. Classical texts grant it "the nobility of yang earth" with the mutability of water and wood — a grand frame of mind that ordinary trifles cannot cage.

Its strengths are lofty ambition, infectious energy, and daring to think what others will not; its weaknesses, self-regard and impatience with detail — when the ideal burns, it can burn through reality. The Dragon’s rival is never another person; it is landing.

In love the Dragon is an idealist — all in or not interested, needing a partner who can both look up and hold ground. In work it suits strategy, creative vision, and center stage: founder, brand, performing arts, driving change. The Chinese world’s fondness for Dragon years is not without reason.
