Dragon's 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.
Compatibility
Dragons are compatible with the Monkey or Rat and incompatible with the Ox and Goat.
Best Match with Dragon: Rat, Tiger, Snake, or Rooster
Rat and Snake are more intelligent and shrewder than Dragon. Couples that are formed from Dragon and Rat, or Dragon and Snake, complement and help the other in both work and life.
Tiger and Rooster will fit Dragon nicely if they hold the same goals with Dragon in life.
Worst Match with Dragon: Ox, Rabbit, Goat, or Dog
Aggressive Dragon won’t get along well with the stubborn Ox, quiet Rabbit, or sensitive Goat. Dragon and Dog are clashing and neither trusts nor understands the other.
