1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024

The Chinese year of the Dragon is the fifth year of the 12-year-cycle of Chinese Zodiac animals. The old Chinese story behind this was that the Jade emperor ordered a race to select the 12 animals to be his personal guards. The animals arrived in the order of the cycle. People born in the Year of the Dragon were born in 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, and 2024. Though be careful, our Gregorian calendar does not line up perfectly with the Chinese lunisolar calendar. If you were born in January or February (generally, the Chinese New Year begins in late January or early February), check the Chinese New Year dates from your birth year to determine your correct zodiac sign.

If you’re a Dragon, read on for a few more details!

Dragon Personality

Bill was born in the year of the dragon, so read on and get to know what he is like from the eyes of the Chinese Zodiac! This sign is an auspicious one, as dragons are seen as intelligent and bold self-starters with big ambitions. They’re passionate about their goals and have the self-reliance, smarts, and charm to win over people, succeed at business dealings, and in general enjoy life! Unsurprisingly, they can sometimes get hamstrung by their own egos, and will do what’s necessary to remain on top. Dragon leaders make for tough bosses, as they’re good at giving orders, and will hold people accountable to big results!

Compatible with: Monkey or Rooster, but Rat, Tiger, or Snake are best

Be careful around: Ox, Goat, Dog

Chinese Zodiac Elements

Chinese astrology assigns each year with one of the five elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Earth, and Fire). When you combine these five elements with the 12-year cycle of animal signs, you get a 60-year cycle. Each of those elements have associated meanings. Here they are on a rather simplistic level:

Wood: creativity, imagination

creativity, imagination Fire: passion, adventure

passion, adventure Metal: persistence, ambition

persistence, ambition Water: agility, eloquence

agility, eloquence Earth: patience, stability

To find your Chinese element, look at the last number of your birth year:

For birth years ending in 0 or 1, your element is metal.

For birth years ending 2 or 3, your element is water.

For birth years ending in 4 or 5, your element is wood.

For birth years ending in 6 or 7, your element is fire.

For birth years ending in 8 or 9, your element is earth.

Again, though, remember that the Chinese calendar and the regular Gregorian calendar do not line up perfectly. If you were born in January or February, check to see which Chinese year you were actually born in!
