There is no instinct like that of the heart.
– Lord Byron
Man’s best friend is believed to be an auspicious animal by the Chinese. If a dog has shown up at your doorstep it symbolizes that fortune is not far off. Dog is fearless, they “eat up” the difficulties in daily life. This noble characteristic allows them to create harmonious relationships with others. Just one of their heart-warming (loyal, responsible, clever and courageous) traits that draws people to them.
This month dear Dog will be challenged with obstacles by the year god, Ram. Because you are clever your best maneuver will be to watch and listen. If Dog is your animal protector you will sharpen your instinct and get the most out of every situation by practicing patience. Love, family life and money issues are favored right now so focus there. Career choices may not be simple nor easy but the best move is to heel and opportunities will find their way to you. If you are faced with an obstacle do not use force. Act calmly and put first things first. Best advice for man’s best friend: “In every situation, people born in the year of the Dog will gain from listening to more experienced people. An enlightened intelligence and a sharp intuition will allow them to, not only feel danger from a distance and avoid it, but also discover and obtain what is good.”
