Are you a Dragon?

The Chinese zodiac consists of 12 animals, including the rabbit, dog, pig, rat and the dragon. Monday the Asian world celebrates the Lunar New Year. In the Chinese zodiac, it will be the Year of the Dragon. It has been 12 years since the last Year of the Dragon and it will be another 12 years before the next Year of the Dragon.That's because the animals rotate annually.

People who were born in a Year of the Dragon will have good luck this year. It doesn't mean they won't have good luck, in say the Year of Pig, but legend says their luck will be even better in years of their birth animal.

Certain personality traits are associated with people born under an animal's sign. Characteristics of a Dragon personality include non-conformity, flexibility, lacking tact, conceited and being quick-tempered. Dragons also like their solitude. They make good lawyers, engineers and politicians. Does this describe you? You can read more about the Year of the Dragon personality on Chinese horoscopes.
