• About the Dragon

  Those born under the Dragon are considered the luckiest and when it is the year of the Dragon, business ventures and money-making are considered strong. The Chinese believe that the Dragon is surrounded by prosperity and brings in the Four Benedictions of the East - harmony, wealth, virtue, and long life. Unfortunately, the Dragon's love life is one of two extremes, either one desiring commitment at an early age or one who never marries. The sign is one of dominance, and those born under it are usually the stronger in a relationship.Chinese Zodiac: Dragon
