Personality

The Dragon is a beautiful creature, colorful and flamboyant. People born in a Dragon year are natural movers and shakers, enthusiastic and inspire confidence in others with their honesty and quick wit, no one could fine a more devoted, openhearted friend. On the other side they can have a reputation for being conceited, a hothead and possessing a sharp tongue. While Dragons frequently help others, rarely will they ask for help. While others are attracted to Dragons, deep down Dragons prefer to be alone. Perhaps that is because they’re most successful when working alone.

Career

Dragons prefer to live by their own rules, they know how to gain respect, and being in charge or giving orders comes naturally, and if left on their own, are usually successful. They’re driven, unafraid of challenges, and willing to take risks. They’re passionate in all they do and they do things in grand fashion and are most happy in jobs that allow them to express their creativity. They are high skilled specialists and have strong opinions, although their innate aggression and competitiveness can sometimes lead them into dangerous water.

Love

Dragons will give into love, but won’t give up their independence. Their great popularity stems from a soft, sensitive and passionate heart; although they are apt to have quick, sometimes vengeful tempers. Dragons enjoy others who are intriguing, and when they find the right partners, they’ll usually commit to that person for life.
