This is the type of person who is born in the Year of the Dragon. He is confident, charismatic and has high ideals. It's a temperament that shines on the big stage.
However, there is one thing to note. In Myungri, the standard for the Chinese Zodiac sign is not January 1st but Ipchun (立春, around February 4th every year) . So, people born in January 1940 and early February may actually have been born in the previous year, 1939, under the Year of the Rabbit. It is safe to check your exact zodiac sign by your date of birth.
