The dragon is the fifth in the series of twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac and the the mightiest. It symbolizes dominance and ambition. People who are dragons prefer to live by their own rules and are mostly successful. They are willing to take risks and are unafraid of challenges. They are helpful but rarely ask others for assistance. While they prefer to be alone they are attracted to other dragons.
