💞 Love, work and money
Love
In love, the Dragon is seen as bold and passionate. It enjoys surprising a partner with a spontaneous trip or a special event. If its own plans come before the other person's wishes, though, it can feel like pressure. In traditional matchmaking, the Dragon forms a samhap trio with the Rat and Monkey and a yukhap pair with the Rooster.
Work and study
At work, the Dragon is said to shine when leading a big project or setting up something new. Fields that need vision and drive — presenting, planning, starting a business — suit it well. Keeping a colleague nearby who looks after the practical details makes its plans far more solid.
Money habits
The Dragon is thought to be generous with spending as well. Set a big target, but check it weekly in small chunks, and it becomes easier to balance big dreams with reality.
Something to try
Finish the smallest, most annoying item on today's to-do list first. A dragon's spirit flies farther once small completions start to add up.
