Characteristics and personalities of the Fire Dragon
Rock-solid charmer, with some ego, the Fire Dragon can be terribly impulsive and their self-belief knows no bounds.
There is no doubting the charm of these characters, it has to be said - the world revolves around them.
You either tag along for the ride or fall off the wagon somewhere along the line.
But they don’t care - there'll be plenty of other suitors waiting to board the Fire Dragon Express.
The Dragon exudes playfulness and decadence, and an inherent leaning toward life's pleasures.
So much so that they can, very easily, supersede ambition, direction, and focus and, tragically enough, very often do.
So it sometimes takes a while for these boys to locate their vocation, for them to think to themselves, "Oh yeah, career?"
But they are so charming, so charismatic and so endearing - despite their ego - that they eventually manage to crack it.

Compatibility
Dragons are most compatible with the Rat, Tiger, or Monkeys.

Mentally, both the Dragon and the Ox are headstrong and stubborn, making them unable to compromise.
