Personality of the Dragon
Charismatic, ambitious, lucky. Draws attention and aims high without apology. Core traits: ambitious, energetic, visionary, proud.
People born in the Year of the Dragon (龍) tend to show these qualities in work, relationships, and how they meet challenges. Your ruling element — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, or Water, set by your birth year — adds another layer, so a Wood Dragon and a Metal Dragon express the same core nature differently.
Dragon compatibility
The Dragon's strongest matches are the Rat and the Monkey, who share the Dragon's rhythm and values. The most challenging match is the Dog, the Dragon's zodiac opposite. Real compatibility also depends on each person's full chart — month and hour animals and elements matter as much as the year sign.
Your three animals
Most people only know their year animal. But your birth month and hour each carry their own animal too — your inner (work and family) self and your private inner self. Together with your ruling element and yin/yang polarity, they form a layered portrait. The free calculator finds all three in seconds.
