- big-hearted
Dragons expect the room to come around eventually and are usually right, which is either magnetic or exhausting depending on whether you're pulling in the same direction that day.
The generosity is genuine and comes with a quiet expectation of credit, less out of vanity than a sense that the effort was real and shouldn't go unnoticed. Partners who openly admire a Dragon get an outsized amount back; partners who compete with one for the spotlight have a harder time than they expected.
At best / what to watch for
At their best: Makes the impossible plan sound already decided.
Watch for: Assuming the room agrees just because no one argued.
Who the Dragon matches
Best natural match: Rooster. Natural allies: Monkey and Rat. Hardest match: Dog.

Born in January or February? You may belong to the year before, because the animal changes at Lunar New Year, not January 1.
Not sure if youβre actually the Dragon?
The Chinese zodiac year turns over on the lunar new year, not January 1. If you were born in late January or February, the year printed on most sites can be wrong.

Why two Dragons can be so different
The zodiac animal uses one fact about your birth: the year. Saju, the Korean birth chart, uses the year, month, day and hour, weighed as five elements. That is why two Dragons born twelve years apart can come out very differently.
