Year of the Dragon · The Born Showstopper

Portrait of the Dragon

The Dragon is the zodiac's only legendary animal, a symbol of power and good fortune, and parents in many Chinese communities still hope for a Dragon baby. You carry that confidence like a cape: ambitious, charismatic and built for big stages.

You think in visions, not to-do lists. When you believe in an idea, your energy can pull a whole team into orbit. The flip side is a dramatic streak: Dragons do not get mildly annoyed, they get cinematically disappointed.
