The Metal Dragon personality

Metal Dragon turns Dragon confidence into disciplined force and clear intent.

Metal Dragon is distinct from other Dragon years because Metal sharpens the sign’s natural scale and ambition. Dragon energy is bold, visible, and hard to ignore; add Yang Metal, and it becomes more exacting, strategic, and tough-minded. This is often a Dragon with stronger standards, firmer boundaries, and a clearer sense of what is worth pursuing.
