Dragons are the most flamboyant sign of the zodiac, radiating confidence and a sense that they were born for something big. You aim high, inspire the people around you, and rarely doubt that things will work out in your favor. That same fire can tip into arrogance and impatience, and you can struggle to accept that the world will not always bend to your timeline.

Dragon in love
In love you are passionate, generous, and a touch idealistic, sweeping a partner up in your energy and ambition.
