The Dragon Personality:

In Eastern philosophy, the Dragon is held to be a bringer of good fortune and a holder of authority and those people born in Dragon Years are therefore to be honored and respected.

Basic Character
The key to the Dragon personality is that these folk are the free spirit of the Zodiac and a law unto themselves. Having to conform is anathema to the Dragon. To him or her, rules and regulations are made only for other people. Restrictions squeeze stone dead the creative spark that at every turn is ready to flame into life. Dragons need to be as free as the wind and clouds that are their domain.
The Dragon is a gorgeous creature, as colorful and flamboyant as a gilded dragon in a Chinese pageant. Everything Dragon folk do is on the grand scale - big ideas, extravagant features, massive and ambitions. But they don't behave this way for show, it is simply their nature. And because they have confidence and enthusiasm and are fearless in the face of challenge, they most invariably meet with success.
Dragons, one way or another, usually make it to the top. However, Dragon people need to beware of their own natures. Too much enthusiasm and too much beating of Dragon wings can leave them exhausted and their ambitions unfulfilled and their Dragon pride can prevent them from accepting help from other people. Dragons are always able to attract friends through their generous natures, their style and sheer magnetism but they can be rather solitary people at heart.

The Fire Dragon is a force to be reckoned with. This is a Dragon multiplied by two and a powerful dynamo this can be!

These Dragons cannot help having the conviction that they are super-important and right about combination of enthusiasm and energy is a great asset to the cause; but although they value objectivity, they do not always apply the best judgment and sometimes jumps to the wrong conclusion.

The Dragon Lover:
Dragon is a consummate egotist and show-off who loves the limelight; modesty in not one of the Dragon's assets. Then there is the Dragon temper, which is worst of all the Chinese Animals. Dragon can be dogmatic, domineering and bombastic. They hate taking advice from anyone, are quick to rebuke their nearest and dearest and can be hopelessly tactless and insensitive to their partners.
Dragons are warm and generous, charismatic and irresistibly attractive and so strong and courageous that standing beside them drives away fear. Their irrepressible exuberance makes the sun shine on the bleakest day and they generate excitement wherever they go. They are wild and impulsive and can make others realize their dreams. People love them because they're simply better when Dragons are around.

The Dragon at Health
Dragons are blessed with good health, despite the fact that they run on high -octane energy, burn the candle at both ends and take breathtaking risks. They are among the most robust of the Animal signs but they can suffer ill-health as a result of stress. They commonly suffer from tension headaches and depression or hypertension can be prevalent in Dragons - caused by emotional storms. They can help themselves by keeping their fiery natures under control, getting some routine into their lives and taking forms of exercise that calm the mind and spirit as well as tone the body.
The Dragon at Home
Dragons are not the most domestic of creatures and may be happier out in the world than in a state of domesticity. Nevertheless, with their creativity and aesthetic sense, they can enjoy making an impressive home. It has to be somewhere that can express their flamboyant characters. A Dragon's home need to be as big and imposing as the Dragon personality, providing space for the fiery Dragon breath.
The Dragon at Work
Of the Dragon's many talents, it's originality that stands out the most. The Dragon is distinctly creative and a genius at lateral thingking, always able to see new avenues where others can see only brick walls. Dragons are highly adaptable and are suited to many occupations, especially if they can be in the limelight. In any of the many fields that the enterprising Dragon may decide to work in, he or she will always take a fresh and radical approach.
