Dragon of Fire

The only mythological animal in the cycle, and it shows: the Dragon thinks big and doesn't settle for the predictable. It has a presence that fills the room and an ambition that rarely fades. In this combination, the Dragon is also governed by the Fire element, which adds passion, drive, and leadership. That blend defines a distinct character within the 60-year cycle: a Dragon of Fire isn't the same as the same animal under a different element.

The Fire element tends to sharpen traits like big-picture vision and natural confidence, with a tone tied to passion, drive, and leadership. A challenge specific to the Dragon — can come across as overpowering — also feels different under this energy: Fire invites working on it from a place of passion.

Those who identify with the Dragon of Fire tend to recognize themselves in that particular combination of magnetic and confident, expressed with the imprint of fire.
