The Fire Dragon
๐ Fire element ยท Yang polarity
Dragons think big, inspire others, and carry natural authority. They are confident, lucky in opportunity, and unafraid of a hard goal. The Fire Dragon takes that base and runs it through the Fire element, which is dynamic, warm and a little restless.
Fire is the element of summer, energy and passion. A Fire year turns the volume up โ more drive, more warmth, more willingness to take a risk โ but also a shorter fuse and less patience for slow, routine work. In the Dragon, Fire intensifies and adds urgency to the sign's ambitious and energetic nature, producing the most driven and impatient kind of Dragon. Where a typical Dragon might be arrogant, the Fire version leans further into action.
