Year of the Dog

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.


Kaoru's Sign with Takehiko's

The Dog and the Snake

The Chinese zodiac information is a copy of the form on the site the information originated from.

The Dog and the Snake have a complex but satisfying connection. Both these Signs suffer from inner insecurities and anxieties, but their bond may be able to provide them both with the strength borne of having a safe, loyal and trusting friend or partner to lean on. In general, these Signs are neither very similar nor overly different in nature. The Dog is generally good-natured and pleasant but is also rather moody and tends to withdraw in times of anxiety; the Snake is charming and seductive but is actually rather reserved in nature, preferring quiet and stability to noise and turmoil.

As lovers these two will likely enjoy a certain stability that is comforting to both. Their intimate connection will be strong; certain less positive qualities, such as the Snake's tendency toward jealousy and possessiveness with a lover, will be quelled. The Dog is a very loyal and trustworthy Sign, one that would never dishonor itself or the Snake by giving the Snake reason to be jealous. The Snake can return the favor by helping the Dog to forget its irrational worries and relax into the calm, earthy sensuality the Snake possesses. If these two live together their house will be comfortable and elegant, a place of refuge for both.

These two Signs make a good, solid business team as well. Both are very diplomatic, and the Dog has a keen sense of right and wrong; they can both trust one another -- which is generally rather hard for the Dog to do -- to deal fairly and above-board. Furthermore, the Snake is very intelligent as it relies not only on logic but on intuition as well; this Sign hardly ever makes a wrong move in business or elsewhere. The Snake is also lucky with money; a business shared by these two will likely be quite prosperous. The Snake may be the front person, as it possesses more charm and finesse than does the Dog.

The Dog and the Snake share a compatibility of eight, on a scale of one to ten.
