Chinese Zodiac · Sign 5 of 12
龙 · lóng
Charismatic, ambitious, and lucky — the only mythical sign, born to stand out.
龙
No sign carries the prestige of the Dragon — the only mythical animal of the twelve, and the old emblem of the emperor himself. Dragons are charismatic and driven, drawing people in and holding everyone (themselves first) to high standards. That intensity comes with a short fuse for incompetence and a reluctance to admit fault, but few signs are more energizing to be around or more generous once they are on your side.
Lucky numbers and colors follow popular Chinese almanac tradition and vary by source — treat them as folklore, not fact.
The Dog sits opposite the Dragon on the zodiac wheel — the classic “six clash” (六冲). A pairing that takes extra patience.
