Personality
People born in the Dragon year possess exceptional qualities like what is told in mythical folklore. They are refined, respectable, and have a sacred air about them. The Dragon is easy-going, willing to take risks, but tends to be more stubborn than most, in his thinking and behaviour. Full of imagination and possessing an indomitable spirit, the Dragon is decisive when it comes to dealing with anything. Though the Dragon has potential for accomplishing great things, he is not easily accepted by others. Warm, curious, and helpful by nature, the Dragon is often mistaken for being meddlesome.
Career
Good fortune comes early in life for those born in the Dragon year. Many enjoy success when young. Their life will go downhill when they reach middle age because of their carelessness and complacency. However, late in life, things will look up. They are suited for jobs, which give full play to their skills and talents, for example, professional athlete, singer, actor, or businessman.
Romance
People born in the Dragon year are self-centred when it comes to relationships. They yearn to be loved, but pay little attention to what the other party feels. Because of their self-centredness, and obsession with being better than others, they make their prospective partners flinch at the thought of a commitment. As a result, most tend to marry late. The Dragon’s ideal life partner should be someone born in the year of the Rat, Rooster, Monkey, or Tiger.
