About the Dragon year
Dragon is the only mythical animal in the Chinese zodiac and the cultural favorite — historically, parents have timed births to land in a Dragon year. Famous Dragons include Rihanna, Adele, Bruce Lee, John Lennon, and Salvador Dalí. The Dragon signature is the person who treats outsized ambition as the default setting — the founder who skipped the obvious next step, the artist who refused the safe lane, the leader people follow because not following feels like a missed era.
How Dragon years are determined
Dragon years are the most demographically lopsided in the Chinese zodiac — birth rates measurably spike in Dragon years across East Asia. When filtering by 'famous Dragons', expect a slightly larger candidate pool than the other 11 animals.
