Wood Dragon

Boldness is the main quality of this zodiac sign, while eccentricity is the main defect.

The natives push things beyond their limits, always seeking to experiment with everything new, whether it’s the last type of cell phone, innovative ideas, or people in ascension. This is exactly why they can sense a successful person even before they succeed in life.

The Wood Dragons are creative people, they have artistic talents and, at the same time, they know how to appreciate quality art. And in this field, they like innovative, even revolutionary artistic trends.

In the couple, they feel at ease as long as their partners allow them to freely manifest their profoundly original personalities. If any partner tries to criticize or even worse to change the native, the Wood Dragon will quickly leave.

Creative, magnetic, interesting – these are the words that describe this zodiac sign and the Wood element that defines it.

They are genuine, natural people, able to easily integrate into any social environment they interact with. They like to travel, research, to stay informed, but sometimes they are too intrusive and curious, and this could bother some people who are too sensitive.

They are quite unstable in love because they like to explore this sphere of life, so they will never limit to one partner.

The Wood Dragon is the type of individual who combines quite efficiently the fire and the leadership power of what the Dragon typology offers with the idea of life, generosity, and wisdom.

The main influence of the Wood element on the Dragon native is manifesting in a great capacity to adapt to environmental factors. They will always know what position to adopt in all spheres of life for continuous and renewing development of their own activities (or others in the environment they want to access).
