In the Chinese zodiac, each year is associated with one of the 12 animal signs, and each animal is linked to one of the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), creating a 60-year cycle. The Dragon is one of the 12 animal signs, and it is considered a powerful and auspicious symbol in Chinese culture.

The Dragon is the only mythical creature in the Chinese zodiac, and it is associated with traits such as power, strength, and good fortune. People born in the Year of the Dragon are believed to inherit these characteristics, making them natural leaders with ambitious and energetic personalities.

Each animal year is also associated with one of the five elements, and there are different variations of the Dragon year based on the element. The five types of Dragons are: Wood Dragon, Fire Dragon, Earth Dragon, Metal Dragon, Water Dragon

It’s important to note that the Chinese New Year doesn’t follow the calendar year; instead, it is based on the lunar calendar. The Year of the Dragon comes around every 12 years, and the last Year of the Dragon was in 2012. The next Year of the Dragon is now – 2024, and its starting on the 10th of February. People born in the Year of the Dragon are believed to be destined for success and good fortune, but the specific characteristics can vary based on the individual’s zodiac sign and element.
