Dragon Chinese Horoscope

This is a week of firsts. The first full week of the lucrative Year of the Snake and the first full week of the social and serendipitous month of the Tiger. It was last week's New Moon that brought the Year of the Dragon and the foundation year of a new personal 12 year lunar cycle to a close, though with a Dragon Moon on Monday and Tuesday and a chance to tie up loose ends. It is on Wednesday and Thursday that a Snake Moon will give you a read on this new influence. While for the Dragon this can be a lucrative year, the Snake works by boosting your confidence and your self belief, allowing you to attract more across all the currencies in your life.
Year of the Snake
Jan 29, 2025 - Feb 17, 2026
In Chinese mythology, the Snake and Dragon are kin, with the Dragon having fallen from the sky where it became a Snake. For a Dragon, a Snake Year is considered your ‘happy star’, and this is when a lot of things start to come together, but also where you get to rein things in a little. In the Year of the Dragon, which has just ended, you needed to be seen, noticed and to have planted as many seeds as possible, approaching everything you did in a bold and flamboyant way. The Snake asks that you tone that down and start looking at what’s actually in it for you.

This is when you can start looking more objectively at what you’re putting your time and energy into and with fame and glory no longer bringing the thrill that it once did, this could mean a redefining of your priorities. The Dragon Year was full of bravado and bluster, where you had to convince yourself and those around you, either in your personal or professional life that anything was possible. The Snake asks that you ‘put up or shut up’ and as you’re called to start walking the talk and find out firsthand that not all things are as possible as you thought they were, there’s a need to return to the drawing board and maybe revise downwards some of your plans, goals and objectives.

To start with this may be seen as settling for less, but it is more that the Dragon’s bold claims were always on the exaggerated side and what you have this year is a chance to come back to reality and put in the behind-the-scenes work needed to make things happen. There is a definite ‘show me the money’ theme this year, as you look more carefully at the paybacks you’re getting. Where pride and attention were an important currency last year, they are no longer priorities, wanting to see something more concrete. You will need to take a more cautious and frugal approach to money this year, for the Snake doesn’t like financial recklessness. In all aspects of your life work to keep the communication lines open.

About the Dragon
Seen as the symbol of the Emperor in Ancient China, the Dragon is charismatic, enthusiastic and imaginative. They are often dramatic and love to be the center of attention. Dragons have the ability to inspire others.

They are powerful and dominating and like to take the lead. On one hand they make helpful and considerate friends, on the other, they are idealistic and are prone to impose high standards on others. Dragons are dangerous in enmity.

As a dragon, you will have quite a complicated life and you may be considered an eccentric. Blessed with good health, you will have a passionate nature. You can also be dominant and short-tempered as well as ambitious and hard-working. You'll be best off if you avoid marriage until your later years

They are usually successful in careers. They have a tendency to be over-confident and arrogant. The Dragon is a prosperous sign but they often spend money as fast as they make it.

There is an element of the loner in every dragon. Paradoxically, young Dragons have a strong yearning for partnership and tend to marry young.
