Chinese zodiac

Dragon 龙

The Dragon is scale and charisma: the animal of big arcs, public ambition and a will that expects the room to follow.

The Dragon is the cycle's sovereign: ambitious, magnetic and comfortable with scale. It reads as charisma, vision and an appetite for the large gesture rather than the safe one.

The shadow is ego and impatience: the Dragon can mistake an audience for agreement. The useful reading is vision — the chart shows whether it becomes leadership or noise.
