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. It's generally quite trustworthy itself -- except for the occasional "little white lies" the Dog tells in order to make things go more smoothly. The Dog makes a wonderful, discreet and loyal friend (despite any white lies) and is an excellent listener. This Sign tends to root for the underdog and its keen sense of right and wrong makes it duty-bound to the core. The Dog's mantra seems to be, Live right, look out for the little people and fight injustice whenever possible.

Dogs can also be rather dogmatic, too. 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. At these times the Dog's narrow-minded or stubborn side can become apparent; this Sign has trouble staying light and calm when an important issue is at stake. This Sign can also be very temperamental; mood swings characterize its emotional life and often the Dog needs to run off to be alone in order to recuperate. Part of the problem is the result of this Sign's load of irrational fears that turn into niggling anxieties that turn into hurt feelings and occasional grouchiness. This sensitive Sign needs to warm up to others over time and gradually learn to trust them. Without that trust as a foundation, Dogs can be judgmental and coarse.

The Dog's discerning nature does make it an excellent business person, one who can turn that picky, guarded nature into a keen sense of the truth of another's motives. Where love is concerned, Dogs often have a tough time finding the right match. They can be so anxious and overwrought in the romance dance that they'll stress their partner to the max! In any forum, this Sign is happiest when able to be quite 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.

The most compatible match for a Dog is the Tiger or the Horse.

Famous Dogs: Madonna, Uma Thurman, Steven Spielberg.

Outlook for 2006

Career
The Dog this will be inundated with lots of surprises this Dog year for the work front! There are plenty of ups and downs for you this year, but you will enjoy yourself every step of the way. Try to learn from your mistakes during those down moments, and capitalize the moments when you are on top form. Embrace new opportunities, and do not be afraid to experiment and venture in uncharted territories! But, do not be rash in making judgments and double-check on all documentation.

Love
The Dog may even feel a little lonely at times this 2006, and feel very secretive about this situation. The best thing the Dog can do is to speak out his or her feelings and emotions! Though you may feel like bottling up, do tell a friend or your partner about how you feel. Keep optimistic, and have a positive outlook in love and relationship matters!

Health
Work and daily stress will cause insufficient sleep for the Dog, causing weakness to the immune system. Rather than fall to sicknesses, the Dog needs to balance work and personal time to ensure proper rest. Keep your spirits (and metabolism rate!) up by joining the gym, or participating on other physical activities. These will be very good for you.

22 June 2006
Very stormy friendship climate -- there will be a clear tendency toward quarrels, squabbles for trifles, and comical misunderstandings. There'll be no lack of amorous adventures, but these will give you only a few satisfactions. If you're single, you'll want to get married as soon as possible. Increased risks of an infection; a very strict hygiene must be followed in order to maintain your health.

Wanda SG

23 June 2006
Be on your guard at your work, as some colleagues might very well reserve you a very bad surprise and strive to harm your reputation. Look, listen and observe, but don't let people know you are doing so: This tactic will prove to be very efficacious. If you happen to be in disagreement with some of your nearest ones, don't shy away from explanations, but try to get to the heart of the problem in order to find out its causes.

Wanda SG

24 June 2006
It's recommended that you practice a somewhat aggressive sport regularly so as to channel your overabundance of energy in a positive way. You'll be able to sweat blood so as to obtain what you want; however, beware not to be ruthless toward others. Sentimental life is likely to be mediocre; instability will reign in couples, each spouse wanting to live their own life. Your health will be good on the whole despite some nervousness.

Wanda SG

25 June 2006
You who are ordinarily rather outgoing will this time become more inclined to caution and discretion in your demeanor as well as in your utterings. You'll know how to take up necessary precautions so as to achieve your dearest project. You'll be very busy with your work and filled with the need to prove to your superiors what you're capable of. You should relax more and go to bed earlier than usual. As you'll be very sensitive to weather changes, you'll have the impression of being tired.

26 June 2006
Your love life will be threatened by monotony and routine; appeal to your imagination. Think of profiting by all possible tax reductions; if necessary, ask specialists for advice. Resist your present desire to acquire a costly object. This climate will be favorable to disputes and quarrels: speak only if you're obliged to. You'll have stormy relationships with your entourage, at your workplace as well as in your home; however, you'll be well disposed to make concessions and to recognize your errors.

Wanda SG

27 June 2006
You'll be well supported in your love affairs; you'll live exquisite hours with the chosen of your heart. Perfect understanding with your children. Risk of mild stomach upset; eat mild foods such as cooked carrots, bananas, rice and drink cola. Continue to cultivate useful relationships, you'll soon need them. In the work field, you'll have the possibility to make good performances and take excellent initiatives; don't hesitate to do your job in double-quick time. Avoid defeatists, who will try to discourage you.

Wanda SG

28 June 2006
If you go on a trip, a happy surprise may intervene during your travels. You might be vulnerable to some skin problems; drink plenty of water and eat an organic diet in order to eliminate toxins from your body. In love, you'll be less centered on sensuous pleasures and more inclined toward a communion of hearts and souls. If you have a brain, it's for you to use; therefore don't let yourself be guided only by your heart.

Wanda SG

29 June 2006
A well-conducted financial operation will allow you to improve your material situation considerably. You'll begin to do away with some of your reasoning and reasonable side, and you'll give more free rein to your sensitiveness and your inspirations. Beware! Risk of a great jealousy crisis springing from exacerbated self-pride. If you do do-it-yourself or precision work, expect some annoyances.

Wanda SG

30 June 2006
You may feel some lack of appetite, and if nausea and muscular cramps accompany this phenomenon, visit a doctor to have an examination. This astral climate is apt to bring you a decisive amorous friendship, a happy, serene and relaxed emotional atmosphere; thus there'll be smiles on your lips and joys in your heart. But long-standing lovers should beware of making impetuous and negative relationship decisions!

Wanda SG

1 Jul 06
This astral climate will offer you a profound and refreshing sleep. Your natural tendency toward compassion will be strengthened; don't concern yourself with others too much, though. You won't lack possibilities; explore them fully and you'll make miracles. Your sentimental life will regain some strength; but in order that your relationships be lasting and give you real joys, an authentic love will be indispensable. You'll have the opportunity to make a fantastic financial deal that could make you forget your future month ends

Dog people are loyal and honest and obedient, guardians of the house at night. They can be counted on to keep secrets and for always doing the right thing. They can be emotionally distant and do not mix well in social gatherings where they are often seen as wallflowers. They do better with one-on-one relationships and find happiness in the happiness they bring to others, such as finding the most perfect gifts for their friends. While it is true that they have sharp tongues and are a bit stubborn and eccentric, in a work situation they tend to work very well with other people. What is more, they always seem to have money and make excellent leaders. Because of their high moral stance, they are inspiring beyond measure.

Famous Dog People: Chiang Chin-Kuo, Zhou En-Lai, Lee Teng-Hui, Benjamin Franklin, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley,Jacques Cousteau, King Carl XVI Gustaf, Yitzhak Rabin, Golda Meir, Mother Teresa, Jane Goodall, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien

METAL DOG
Feb 10, 1910 to Jan 29, 1911
Feb 6, 1970 to Jan 26, 1971

This one takes a very conservative approach to every aspect of life, somewhat coasting along looking at the scenery with dreams and goals unrealized but the spirit always fulfilled. Ferdinand the Bull is their Poster Boy; they always stop to smell the flowers. Nothing wrong with this, but it's important to find a balance so there aren't so many unfinished tasks. Ironically, they tend to be materialistic, but don't have the patience necessary to acquire big ticket items and major success is illusory. But like gypsies, they move with the wind, taking what comes, with noble chin held high, always finding in life a kind of beauty which does indeed sustain them very much. They make very good friends, loyal to the bone, always finding delightful ways to help others. Friends always know where they stand because of their directness and frank manner. The Love & Romance Department usually finds a very handsome male and a beautiful female, each incredibly attractive to the other and sincerity reigns in their communication. The Metal Dog doesn't like to take too many chances, preferring conservative and traditional ways of romance. Sometimes, they become virtual love slaves, a little too passive for their own good. Time to stand up and reclaim your individuality! Learn to be more pro-active!

WATER DOG
Jan 28, 1922 to Feb 15, 1923
Jan 25, 1982 to Feb 12, 1983

Water Dogs are real charmers, easily attracting friends and colleagues into their inner circle. Handling the ins and outs of human relations is so easy for them! They know how to smooth over any personal situation with their kind, honest, easy-going nature. Always empathetic, always rational, their ability to play Devil's Advocate helps open up whole new ways of approaching problems and finding solutions. Their views on life are expansive because of an ingrained wanderlust which has taken and will continue to take them to exotic locales about the globe. They adapt like chameleons to new environments and new people and their lives are all-encompassing, full of rich adventure. Financial and career success comes to the Water Dogs later in life -- just watch these late bloomers burst open! Regarding their love life, when it comes to dating and romance, their temperature ranges from hot to cold, from one extreme to another. Sometimes they want a commitment, other times they run Geronimo. But, when true love finally comes, and it will, they have it made. Their relationships are filled with good honest communication and genuine kindness and total caring for their partner. Marriage will be as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar.

WOOD DOG
Feb 14, 1934 to Feb 3, 1935
Feb 10, 1994 to Jan 30, 1995

Whatever Wood Dog wants, Wood Dog gets. When they set a goal, they doggedly pursue the right course of action, no matter what obstacles are in the way, and always finish as winners. They accomplish great things and enjoy most fulfilling careers and educational quests. Pursuing the right course of action is a constant theme in their lives, be it dealings with other people, the expression of their strong sense of justice and sense of ethics and morality. They protest wrong! They cry out at injustice! They want to always correct the wrongs of life. They are very strict on themselves and although expecting the best from others, they never alienate or come across as "holier than thou" because of their very generous personalities. Their lives are heroic and they are very deserving of others' trust and respect. Wood Dogs deal with Romance the same way as they do their career, nothing less than an all-out effort to win the object of their affection. Do they win? You better believe it!

FIRE DOG
Feb 2, 1946 to Jan 21, 1947
Jan 29, 2006 to Feb 17, 2007

Right off the bat, let's say that Fire Dogs are very attractive! Not only themselves but all the people surrounding them are life's beautiful people. Their natural inclination is to conveniently turn an eye away from perversity. They view all of life through rose-colored glasses. Grays and beiges lead to momentary confusion. They don't know how to deal with adversity and when confronting a mountain, will walk all around the foothills for hours before even getting started. This person's life is filled with dichotomy. On the one hand, they know that hard work and effort will make things happen, but they sometimes accept the status quo. They dream of a bright future but wind up chasing windmills. And despite an overabundance of energy, their careers sometimes stand still. They see-saw from timidity to having grand adventures. They are on a sure course when it comes to friendship and love, though. Very well liked, their social circle is broad and their love life is full of energy and fire. You see, the firedog is a lovebird!

EARTH DOG
Feb 18, 1958 to Feb 7, 1959

The Earth Dog is well grounded, both feet solidly on the ground. Perfectionists at heart, they see that projects have a beginning and an end, and all they have to do is see things all the way through. A driving force propels their lives and they know they must never waver in reaching their goals, whether it's dealing with people, daily projects, or sailing around the world. Earth Dogs are brimming with confidence and are always finding four-leaf clovers. Luck happens! In the Love Arena, they take a somewhat lackadaisical approach; i.e., love is no big deal, it's just a natural part of life. If it happens, fine, but no great enthusiasm is lost here. The best person for the Earth Dog is a strongly independent someone who relishes freedom and has an identity apart from the relationship. When the Earth Dog and their mate do come together, it will be beautiful.

2 Jul 06
This astral environment won't be propitious to good physical form; have patience, don't force yourself, don't make important decisions and, above all, don't let gloomy ideas invade you. Carefully read over your mail and contracts before signing them; verify your accounts and sort out your papers. In your professional environment, some people are jealous of you and will try to do you harm, but you'll triumph with the support of the stars. Your love life will come under the sign of harmony and complicity.

3 Jul 06
The projects that are dearest to your heart are well on the way to success. You'll have the will to see things through, and you'll move heaven and earth to bring to a successful conclusion what you've undertaken. The stars will grant you luck, dynamism, glory and love. Nevertheless, there'll be jealousies and traps that are nothing other than the ransom of success! It would be in your interest to adopt a strict diet for there seems to be for your risks of stomach disorders.

Wanda SG

4 Jul 06
If you work closely with others, show much patience, otherwise there'll be clashes and your words may exceed your thoughts. Have vigilance today: vigilance on roads so as to avoid minor accidents, vigilance in the street so as to avoid a robbery, vigilance in your home so as to avoid domestic accidents! No great health problems in view, but beware anyway of possible intestinal troubles; in order to digest well, drink tea after each meal. Those whose hearts are tired must be watched over more closely.

Wanda SG

5 Jul 06
Beware of excesses of all kinds; don't eat too much meat today and do some exercise. Why should you impose your ideas and views on others? Be more tolerant! Your relationships with your children will risk being stormy; don't be too severe and lend an attentive ear to the little ones' claims. Amorous prospects are very eventful, even difficult, but you won't complain about the situation because it will be at least lively. You may make a great leap forward in your career today.

Wanda SG

6 Jul 06
Your health will be quite correct and your recuperative power at a peak; however, don't forget to do exercise everyday. At your work, be clever enough to profit by the current set of favorable circumstances in order to solidify your position. This astral climate can be the guarantee of great amorous happiness; old couples will recover the tender passion of their beginnings, and other natives of the sign will be overtaken by intense, passionate sentiments and will form numerous pleasurable projects.

Wanda SG

7 Jul 06
In your amorous quest, conflicts will be numerous despite a sure, violent physical mutual attraction. Don't let yourself be intruded upon by your close ones; you must preserve your intimacy for the sake of your happiness. You'll risk encountering some complications in your work; don't envisage to change career. If you suffer from colds or respiratory troubles, treat yourself vigorously. Patiently answers your children's questions about anything and everything.

Wanda SG

8 Jul 06
Try to solve your administrative or material problems, which will take time, and to get rid of certain domestic tasks. Your critical mind will be lacking, at least to a certain extent; therefore be prudent before giving your confidence or assent to anyone and in any field. You can win many friends this time; you won't satisfy yourself with superficial relationships, but you'll have intense and profound relations with people whom you love or admire, or who interest you in one way or another. Your children will bring you great joys, and you'll feel proud of them.

Wanda SG

9 Jul 06
Don't do anything unusual in the professional domain in this moment, for it might dilute your pleasures and, in any case, won't bring you any advantage. Certain problems of a metaphysical order will haunt your mind; in order to get rid of them, you'll no doubt need to confide in a person of solid common sense. Accept the precious counsels of your family entourage instead of digging in your heels. On the material plane, notably, you'll realize that certain suggestions of your near ones are very judicious; your stubbornness may have led you to commit a grave error.
