Dragon

The Dragon’s Traits

The dragon represents the fifth year in the Chinese Zodiac Cycle. Those born under the sign of the dragon tend to be proud and authoritative in nature. With personalities akin to the Aires, dragons prefer to be in control of a given situation and as such they can often come across as tactless and arrogant. Dragons also draw others in with their self assuredness, which leads to an abundance of friends and acquaintances.

Always willing to help others, dragons are generous with their time, but do not feel comfortable asking others to return the favor. Dragons tend to have good health overall, but can suffer from illnesses that stem from their vigorous energy expenditure, such as migraine headaches. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing are therefore beneficial.

Career

Given their gravitational personalities, dragons excel in careers that allow them to take control, and sway others by sheer force of will. Ideal careers for dragons include lawyer, public orator, police officer, computer programmer, coach, news reporter, and journalist.

Finance

Dragons feel a strong urge to help others with their money. Therefore, making a donation to a charity and benefitting from the tax write offs would be a good idea. Furthermore, dragons enjoy taking risks with their money, so save a bit of fun money from your next paycheck and hit the casino, you might get lucky! Also, given the dragon’s ability to impress people, now might be the time to make that career change you have been thinking about.

Love

In regard to matters of the heart, dragons tend to put off settling down, because they fear having to compromise. Therefore, dragons should make a special effort to meet their partners halfway to avoid nurturing a toxic relationship. Dragons require a creative partner that is able to keep up in a conversation, and be intellectually stimulating.

Compatible Signs

Dragons do best with partners born in the year of the monkey or the rat, and should avoid those born in the year of the ox or dog.
