The Dragon’s Personality: Confident,

Intelligent...
Among the Chinese zodiac animals, the dragon is the sole imaginary animal.
The Chinese dragon is the most vital and powerful beast in the Chinese zodiac,
although Dragons have an infamous reputation for being a hothead and
possessing a sharp tongue. 
In ancient times, people thought that Dragons were best suited to be leaders
of the world with their character traits of dominance and ambition.
Gifted with innate courage, tenacity, and intelligence, Dragons are enthusiastic
and confident. They are not afraid of challenges, and willing to take risks.
However, Dragons are sometimes regarded as aggressive, and angry Dragons
are not open to criticism. They don't consider themselves irritating and
arrogant. Instead of following tradition, they strive for a smooth future.
Which Type of 'Dragon' Are You?
In Chinese element theory, each zodiac sign is associated with one of five
elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth, which means that a Wood
Dragon, for example, comes once in a 60-year cycle.
It is theorized that a person's characteristics are decided by their birth year's
zodiac animal sign and element. So there are five types of Dragons, each with
different characteristics:

Type of Dragon Characteristics

Wood Dragon (1964,

Introverted, less enthusiastic, and lacking in good relationships
2024)

Fire Dragon (1916,

Smart, unreliable, and easygoing
1976)
 Earth Dragon (1928,
Smart, ambitious, and hardworking
1988)

Gold Dragon (1940, Natural and straightforward, unpredictable with continually changing
2000) emotions

Water Dragon (1952,

Persevering, farsighted, and vigorous
2012)

Monthly Predictions for Dragon in 2022
Is a Dragon Year a Lucky Year?
Generally, Dragon years are the most popular for giving birth: in Chinese
culture Dragon children are most sought after.
However, according to Chinese tradition, when the year of your birth sign
comes around it is believed to be bad luck. One's birth year is called one’s
‘origin (of) life year’(本命年 běnmìngnián /bnn-ming-nyen/) and is supposed to
be a whole year of bad luck. Generally, all aspects of your life, including love,
health, career and finance, will not go well.
Therefore Dragons should be more careful in years of the Dragon. The next
Dragon Year is 2024. It starts on Chinese New Year (February 10, 2024). Read
