 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. |
