Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate! And an extra-special New Year greeting to all of those born in the Year of the Dragon. Dragons are regarded as the most auspicious animal in the Chinese zodiac, as the dragon itself is associated with ambition, confidence, intelligence and power. Many born of this zodiac are incredibly accomplished, often being leaders in their field.
But beyond just being a dragon, each year also corresponds with one of the five elements in Chinese cosmology — wood, fire, earth, gold (metal) or water — with its own designated characteristics determined by a person’s destiny. So, in addition to the traits associated with the dragon, those born to each different element also carry different traits to each other.
If you are one of these lucky people (or are just interested in Chinese astrology), take a look at some of the Asian and Pacific Islander artists who fall under the many Years of the Dragon.
Gold (Metal) Dragons
Gold dragons are said to be straightforward and desire to be seen. They are naturally gifted but often change their minds based on swayed emotions, making them unpredictable to others — even if they mean no harm.

Water Dragons
Water dragons are often seen as goal-oriented, with a great deal of perseverance and optimism that gets them where they want to go. They’re also bold and like to build strong relationships; however, they can be rather stubborn and pay too much attention to the details.
