Above all else the Dragon is a visionary with grandiose goals. You tend to boldly confront the mightiest obstacles and accept challenges that seem beyond the reach of others. You are not only decisive but, having made a decision, tenaciously hold onto the idea, moving heaven and earth if necessary, to fulfill your dreams. You are often flamboyant and even occasionally come across as strikingly or mysteriously different or unusual. This can be caused in part by your stylish dress and, or, your high energy level. You may also have natural leadership ability along with this talent for attracting attention. You take pride in yourself and your confidence. It is unlikely people will say you lack self-confidence.

Unfortunately, there are times the Dragon never gets beyond being a dreamer. Perhaps your big dreams are too impractical and you're just being fanciful. At times you might appear to people as a strange eccentric or just someone who is all talk and no action. You sure can be unpredictable, and we can never know whether yours is the next great idea or just some crackpot scheme.

What you see is what you get. You tend to be very direct and to let people know how you feel and what you expect of them. In your search for the ideal partner, you might find yourself often hesitating to move forward in a relationship and, or, unwilling to make a permanent commitment. When you do, however, it is your intention for it to last.

There are times when it is hard to live with you. It is not unusual for you to have an excessively high opinion of yourself. This can grate on the rest of us in those moments when it is obvious to us you are superficial and your behavior tactless. And, occasionally, you can be insensitive and offensive in your speech and mannerisms. This is normally not intended but probably a consequence of your being wrapped up in your own thoughts rather than paying attention to our needs. In spite of these tendencies, you are likely to also have a warm, giving personality overall. You can be very generous to your loved ones. Also, that wonderful Dragon dynamism and infectious optimism is likely to keep you in good stead even when your behavior is not the best.
