The Dragon
1904 * 1916 * 1928 * 1940 * 1952 * 1964 * 1976 * 1988 * 2000
Personality
Occupying the 5th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon is the
mightiest of the signs. Dragons symbolize such character traits as
dominance and ambition. Dragons prefer to live by their own rules 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. Unfortunately, this
passion and enthusiasm can leave Dragons feeling exhausted and
interestingly, unfulfilled.
While Dragons frequently help others, rarely will they ask for help.
Others are attracted to Dragons, especially their colorful
personalities, but deep down, Dragons prefer to be alone. Perhaps that
is because they’re most successful when working alone. Their preference
to be alone can come across as arrogance or conceitedness, but these
qualities aren’t applicable. Dragons have tempers that can flare fast!
Health
Considering their hard-working nature, Dragons are healthy overall.
They do get stressed and suffer from periodic tension/headaches, likely
because they take so many risks. Dragons could benefit from
incorporating mild activity into their lives. Yoga or walking would be
good as these activities can work both their minds and their bodies.
Career
Dragons prefer leading to being led. Jobs that allow them to express
their creativity are good choices. Some good careers include:
inventor, manager, computer analyst, lawyer, engineer, architect,
broker, and sales person.
Relationships
Dragons will give into love, but won’t give up their independence.
Because they have quick, sometimes vengeful tempers, their partners
need to be tough-skinned. Dragons enjoy others who are intriguing, and
when they find the right partners, they’ll usually commit to that
person for life.

determined and they’ll fight for what they believe in. They enjoy the
company of those who feel mighty enough to challenge their beliefs.

follow.

from other points of view. They don’t have the need to always be right.

allow other’s to become involved.

and innovative. They get along with others, but will always be the
dominating force.
Fire Dragons – 1916 and 1976
A Fire Dragon’s emotions can flare instantly. Fire Dragons put
themselves on pedestals, and because they react quickly and recklessly,
they sometimes make wrong decisions. Fire Dragons need to slow down
and keep their tempers in check as that’s when they’re best.
Earth Dragons – Years 1928 and 1988
More rooted in the ground, Earth Dragons make better decisions
because they act more rationally. Earth Dragons are level-headed and
