The dragon is the 5th sign of the Chinese zodiac and is the mightiest of all the signs.
Dragons symbolize such character traits as dominance and ambition. They prefer to live by their own rules and if left on their own, are usually successful. They are driven, unafraid of challenges and willing to take risks. Dragons are passionate in all they do and they do things in grand fashion. Unfortunately, this passion and enthusiasm can leave them feeling exhausted and interestingly, unfulfilled.
Dragons frequently help others but they rarely will ask for help. Others are attracted to Dragons, especially their colorful personalities, but deep down, Dragons prefer to be alone. Perhaps that is because they're most successful when working alone. Their preference to be alone can come across as being arrogant or conceited, but these qualities aren't applicable. They also have tempers that can flare fast!
