Forecast for Year 4703 : The Fire Dog

The Dog is an ethical and idealistic sign, the year that bears its name will bring increased social awareness and interest in society's less powerful members. Any tendencies to take, will be replaced by a widespread sentiment of generosity and selflessness. In general, we will all be imbued with the Dog's keen sense of right and wrong.

In the West, the Dog is man's best friend, but in Chinese Astrology this sign is a little more unpredictable than that. Dogs are loyal, faithful and honest and always stick to their firm codes of ethics. However, this sign has trouble trusting others but is generally quite trustworthy itself. The Dog's mantra seems to be: live right, look out for the little people and fight injustice whenever possible.

Dogs tend to be rather dogmatic. They don't go in for light social banter; instead, they go straight for home, expostulating on the topics that are most important to them. Part of the problem is the result of this sign's load of irrational fears that turn into anxieties which lead to hurt feelings.

This sign is happiest when physically active; at home or at work, the Dog will always be constructing something new or cleaning something up in order to make things better. Dogs need to work on controlling their irrational worries and would also be well-served to relax their mile-high standards, which can sometimes wind up alienating the ones they love.

*Being a Metal Dog, I can only assume that I'll be melted in this year of the Fire Dog...woof.
