Dragon is the only mythical creature in the zodiac and is often an icon for prosperity and longevity. As a decorative motif, dragons are traditionally reserved only for Chinese emperors. With genuine confidence and lofty goals, dragons are steadfast in their beliefs therefore may seem stubborn and out of reach. They are firm, powerful, and temperamental and can struggle when communicating affection. Despite their strength and independence, they do seek love and support. While initially aloof, once committed, Dragons fiercely cherish their partners like treasured possessions.
