Chinese Horoscope: The Dog

Chinese Horoscope: The Dog
Generous and loyal you have the ability to work well with others. Compatible with the Horse and Tiger; your opposite is the Dragon.

This maybe the most likable sign of all in the Chinese cycle. A person born in the year of the Dog is honest, intelligent and straightforward. He has a deep sense of loyalty and a passion for justice and fair play. A dog native is usually animated and attractive and will exude sex appeal. Generally amiable and unpretentious, he will know how to get along with others as he is not too demanding. The egalitarian dog likes to meet others halfway, is always willing to listen to reason and can be counted on to do his share.

For a friend, you must know that whenever you are in trouble, all you have to do is dial D-O-G. For no matter how much he or she complains, scolds, feign indifference, the Dog person cannot ignore a real call for help. At times, the dog protects the interests of others more avidly than his own. The Dog often sticks to his object of affection no matter how unworthy the person is. You don't find a dog leaving home just because he discovers that his master has the proverbial feet of clay. He makes allowances for such frailties and will probably stick it out thick or thin.

Honest, faithful and sincere. Respect tradition and value honor, and enjoy helping people. The Dog is very righteous, and always is the first to speak out against injustice. He is not good at socializing with friends, and rarely shines in company, but he is intelligent, caring and a good listener.

Loyal, faithful and honest, he has the most profound sense of duty. You can count on him and he'll never let you down. And as a good listener, the Dog is also very reliable in keeping secrets for others. He simply doesn't like to gossip. The Dog is an agreeable companion - when he is in a good mood. But when panic strikes, he can turn nasty, and bark till he is tired. He can be judgmental, defensive and picky if you rub him the wrong way, but as long as you know how to pet and massage him, the Dog makes absolutely the best and most honorable companion on earth.

Dogs are born old and get younger as they age. They take everything very serious. You may hear the Dog complains a lot about street lamps, about traffic, or about weather, but as he gets older, the less he takes his own criticisms seriously.

The loyal Dog makes a splendid captain of industry, a priest, an educator, a critic, or a doctor. But whatever his career, it'll have in him a spokesman whose ideals will be profound and often original.

When the fear becomes reality, Dogs go a little crazy. The Dog enters a relationship where he is the giver and the partner is the taker. Usually very generous and loyal, and in love, honest and straightforward. But he will have romantic problems all his life - it's his own fault, really: he leads himself by his emotional in stability and his eternal anxiety. He is a worrier. He/she exudes confidence whever he/she goes and is admired for his dignity and carriage. He/she is a good judge of character and can asses people better than any other sign of the Chinese zodiac. His/her assessments are quick and sure. He/she is a very direct person who will not skirt around the issues and prefers others to do the same. Never vague, you will always know where you stand with the Dog. Although he/she speaks frankly, the Dog will wisely listen to others and try to garner every bit of information before coming to a decision of his/her own. The Dog will be happy to give advice and will be happy to take some , too. He/she is a very helpful person and dislikes to turn down a friend in need. Hates injustice and if he/she feels someone has been treated unjustly, he/she will do everything in his power to help right the wrong. He/she is honorable and expects others to be the same. Always ready to aid a good cause and he is well liked and admired for this characteristic. Not a social being although he/she is very friendly. He/she is a one-on-one person who would rather have a small quiet dinner with friends rather than attend a large, noisey party. Dislikes large social functions such as weddings and dances. The Dog can shine at small affairs with his/her excellent conversational skills and sense of humor, but he/she tends to become invisible in a large crowd, and he/she knows it.

Have a temper but is always cool in a crises. Loyal and trustworthy and expects those traits from his/her friends. He/she will be badly hurt if a friend betrays those traits. Capable of holding a grudge all of his life and is given to bouts of worrying and fretting.. Sometimes his/her view of the world is quite pessimistic. Many times his/her biggest worries are of his/her own making and in reality are trivial problems that other signs of the zodiac would not give a thought to.

Very intuitive person and uses this talent to help make his/her decisions. For a career, the Dog prefers to specialize and become an expert in his/her chosen field. He/she usually does well in jobs in which he/she feels he/she is dealing with the welfare of others in a positive capacity. Sometimes has trouble setting goals . He/she may go through his/her entire life without setting that special goal for himself/herself. The Dog cannot get motivated without a goal and since he/she is not good at setting goals for himself/herself , he/she will not be quite as successful financially as some of the other signs. This is alright with the Dog, however, because he/she is not materialistic and does not measure success with financial gain. He/she will be unhappy if he/she does not have enough money to support his/her family, though.

The Dragon will be too flamboyant for the Dog. The Goat will be too imaginative and the Rooster too irritating for the Dog but the Rat, Ox , Rabbit and Snake will be a good match.

Great with kids and can be an affectionate and playful parent. Children will love the Dog parent. Caring and giving and will have a tendency to worry over his/her offspring.. The Dog will lead an active life full of good works and the world will be a better place for his/her having been born.
