Metal Dragon year

2000 Chinese Zodiac: Year of the Metal Dragon

Quick answer

People born from February 4, 2000 through February 3, 2001 are Metal Dragons. (Born on February 4, 2000 itself? The exact boundary falls at a specific hour that day — a birth time settles it.) Born in 2000 before that date? You belong to the previous year — the Earth 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 Metal year sharpens this temperament: more resolve, cleaner edges, a taste for standards and finish. These are the ones who cut through.

♥ 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 庚 (Geng) carries Metal; the Dragon's fixed element is Earth. That combination is what makes 2000 a Metal Dragon year.

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