THE DRAGON PERSONALITY:
Folklore and mythical tales about the powerful and magnificent Dragon have always enchanted us. Some of the Dragon's magical qualities, albeit illusory, also characterize those born under this sign. Those born in this sign are magnanimous and full of vitality and strength. For them, life is a blaze of colors and constant action. Selfish, eccentric, dogmatic, capricious or terribly demanding and unreasonable, they nevertheless always have a crowd of admirers.

Proud, aristocratic and extremely frank, they form their ideals at a very young age and expect the same perfection and high standards from others. In China, the Dragon symbolizes the Emperor or Male. It represents power and those born in the Year of the Dragon have inherited this. If the youngest child of the family is a Dragon, he or she tends to take on more importance and responsibility than the others and older children born under this sign have made more authority over their siblings than their parents. The Dragon has an inexhaustible reserve of energy. His or her impetuosity, determination and almost religious zeal can blaze like the mythical flames from the Dragon's mouth.

They can do great things and this is lucky as Dragons like to be the center of attention. However if they don't keep a rein on premature enthusiasm, they can burn themselves out and end up in a puff of smoke. Good at all they do, they always create a sensation. This is a lucky and prosperous sign although of all the signs, it is the most prone to megalomania. It's difficult, nay almost impossible, to cross the powerful Dragon as he or she tends to intimidate those who dare to challenge him or her. An angry, irritable Dragon is just like the Big Bad Wolf at your door - he'll huff and puff until the house falls down.

The Chinese sign Dragon according to its Element


Metal Dragon
This is definitely the Dragon with the strongest will. This sign considers honesty and integrity as supreme virtues and he or she is flexible and critical. This sign has little patience with lazy or foolish people. The most magnificent of the warriors, he or she tries to exorcise all evil in life. This strong Dragon of metal will hurriedly hurl himself or herself where angels fear to tread.


Water Dragon
This is a gentle Dragon who favours growth and expansion: this sign can put others before himself or herself. However this Dragon cannot be described as conciliatory. The Dragon of water lives under the philosophy " be faithful to yourself". Water has a beneficial and calming effect on this lunar sign and the Dragon acts wisely to do whatever is essential for his or her progress. The sign must be careful since by wanting too much, one can lose everything.


Wood Dragon
Magnanimous and creative, the Dragon is able to develop new, clever and revolutionary concepts. Wood, combined with this sign, makes him or her good at formulating, bring ideas to life and working in collaboration with others. The sign tries not to disturb others and rules in a subtle manner. He or she is frank, proud and intrepid.


Fire Dragon
The Dragon of Fire is very demanding towards everybody, however he or she emanates great energy. This is an open and very humane individual, impartial and determined to discover the truth at any cost. He or she is a born builder of empires and aspires to the supreme order of things...at the helm of course.


Earth Dragon
The Dragon tends to dominate his or her environment and the people around. Fair and impartial, he or she appreciates the opinions of others. Earth makes him or her realistic and stable and this sign works tirelessly to develop his or her skills and optimise resources. A straight as a die, this Dragon is a calm aristocrat, devoted to reflection and organisation.
