One of the most powerful signs in the Zodiac, in China the sign of the Dragon also represents the Emperor. It was believed that anyone viewing the entire Dragon's body would die, and for that reason in both Chinese and Japanese Art, the Dragon is always only partially portrayed; usually the head and claw, with the rest of the body hidden by clouds.
The only magical and mythical sign of the Zodiac, people born in the powerful year of the Dragon are strong willed, and said to be led by destiny. Dynamic and energetic, they can also be overzealous and demanding. A dragon's egotistical nature will cause him to be at the center of everything.
