Confident and ambitious. The Dragon is the most celebrated sign, a symbol of energy and good fortune in Chinese culture.
Chinese zodiac years change at the Lunar New Year, not on 1 January. If your birthday is before 23 January 2012, your sign is the one from the year before, the Metal Rabbit. If it is after, you are a Water Dragon.
