Year of the Dragon: Personality, Element and Stones
Dragon is the only zodiac animal that does not exist. It is the sign of scale — ambitious, visible, and periodically exhausted by its own size.
How this sign is usually described
- Thinks in projects, not tasks; small errands feel like insults.
- Needs an audience to be accurate, not just flattering.
- Recovers by disappearing, then returns as if nothing happened.
- Overpromises in the room and pays for it for a month.

Common questions
Is Dragon lucky?
It is treated as the most auspicious sign in popular culture, which mostly means people expect more of you. Expectation is not luck — it is pressure with better branding.
Which stone goes with Dragon?
Golden obsidian and citrine are the common pairings for the wealth-and-visibility side; clear quartz for the part that needs to start again.
