Wood Dragon year

1964 Chinese Zodiac: Year of the Wood Dragon

Quick answer

People born from February 5, 1964 through February 3, 1965 are Wood Dragons. (Born on February 5, 1964 itself? The exact boundary falls at a specific hour that day — a birth time settles it.) Born in 1964 before that date? You belong to the previous year — the Water Rabbit.

The only mythical animal in the cycle, and Dragons live like they know it. Confident, vital, and born with a sense of destiny, they set standards others quietly adopt and lift the energy of any project they believe in. Dragons do not follow paths; they assume one will form underfoot. The shadow is scale: grand visions that skip the boring middle, and a pride that hears feedback as static. At their best, Dragons are weather systems — people plan around them, grow under their rain, and remember for years the season a Dragon believed in them.

The Wood year makes it grow outward: more idealism, more building, a stubborn faith that things can be better made than found.

♥ In love

Generous, dazzling, occasionally exhausting. Dragons need admiration less than they need a partner unafraid to be their equal — that is the rare thing that holds them.

◆ At work

Natural founders, directors, and rainmakers. Dragons need a mission with real stakes and a lieutenant who loves the details they skip.

Why this element: The heavenly stem 甲 (Jia) carries Wood; the Dragon's fixed element is Earth. That combination is what makes 1964 a Wood Dragon year.

The Dragon temperament in full — love, career, trine allies and clashes — lives on the animal page.
