What years are in the Year of the Dog

What Dogs are

Yes, everything is not easy for the Chinese: not only are there 12 signs, but they also differ in the elements. We will tell you more below.

Metal Dog

Reliable protector and true friend. For this person, everything that happens to his loved ones is extremely important. The highest value is the home, Motherland and everything connected with them. He knows how to defend his boundaries. Having set a goal, he will do everything to achieve it. But if something does not grow together, it can become depressed.

Despite the fact that the Metal Dog looks like a strong and self-sufficient person (it is), sometimes it needs support.

Strengths: purposefulness, honesty, loyalty to friends, determination and perseverance in achieving goals Weak sides: can violate personal boundaries, vindictiveness, perseverance

Water Dog

This character could use a little solidity, inherent in her Metal counterpart. The Water Dog is a good friend, a sensitive listener and a good adviser. But she won’t make the decision for you. And when it is necessary, she herself will also try to shift the responsibility to a neighbor.

Developed intuition, creative thinking, but in a couple it would be nice to have someone rational and serious. In the team, the Water Dog shows himself as a clever performer, but only with a strict and fair boss. Otherwise, it will take off – how to give a drink.

Strengths: empathy and understanding for others, charm, sociability, calmness Weak sides: sometimes irresponsible, changes her mind, can become dependent on someone or something

Wood Dog

Balance in everything is about the Wood Dog. She knows how to reason sensibly, puts everything on the shelves and always gets the right answer. To achieve incredible heights, only self-confidence is not enough. But she is the perfect team player. He will do his job, tell a colleague, defuse the situation with a joke and make tea with thyme for everyone. Embrace such a person, and it seems that all the clouds have dissipated.

He knows how to find contact with different people, but he will be truly friends only with the elite. Loves nature, art and solitude.

Strengths: good-natured, sociable, knows how to listen to all opinions and weigh everything, knows how to find compromises Weak sides: unable to take a step forward without prompting and support, make a strong-willed decision

Fire Dog

If this person were a real dog, it would be a Labrador. Cheerful, friendly, the soul of the company. He is open to the world and others, does not lose heart and keeps his nose to the wind – for this he is loved by relatives and colleagues. If some big project has appeared at work, the Fire Dog will definitely be attracted there so that the team can work more fun on sleepless nights. And you definitely need to invite her on a trip – the Dog will be able to turn it into a real adventure.

Independent, honest (sometimes even excessively), straightforward. Because of this, there may be problems. But if the Fire Dog is attacked, it will fight back.

Strengths: honesty, openness, friendliness, good sense of humor, sociability, courage, purposefulness Weak sides: does not know how to stop in time either in words or in deeds, which can sometimes cause quarrels and problems

Earth Dog

Calm, confident personality. In any team, at home or at work, they listen to her. He knows what needs to be done to make everything work out perfectly. But he acts slowly: measure seven times, cut once – this is about the Earth Dog.

Strengths: practical mind, kind soul, pro in his field, has his own opinion, which is true Weak sides: too conservative, not inclined to accept other opinions, new trends. Others may note some limitations

Characteristics of the Dog Man

A reliable shoulder for your beloved, a good friend for others. At work, he is appreciated, but more often he is a competent performer. The leadership role is not always ready to accept. Career is not the most important thing in his life, so he will not work around the clock to achieve success to the envy of his mother’s friends. But it is important for him to be able to provide his family and loved ones with everything they need. Appreciates comfort, stability and good company. Usually this man fits perfectly into family life, he will not run after skirts. Loyalty is a matter of course for him.

Much depends on the element. A man born in the year of the Metal Dog will be more decisive, principled and courageous. Earth and Tree give calmness, balance, but also some phlegm. Fire gives impulsiveness, purposefulness and activity. Earth Dogs are not too romantic, sometimes relatives even reproach them for callousness and indifference. But Vodyanyye are very sensitive and attentive men, romantics and pleasant companions. But they lack firmness of character.

Characteristics of the Dog Woman

Such a person attracts with the independence of her views and statements, knows how to keep up the conversation and joke to the point. Protective and charming. It seems, at times, that she does not need anyone and she is a self-sufficient person. Everything is so, but, nevertheless, this lady needs a partner. Moreover, a strong, strong-willed person who knows how to make decisions and outline prospects.

For a man, a Dog Woman will become a true friend, a loving wife, a caring mother to children and an ideal hostess. However, hiding it in the kitchen forever will not work: the Dog needs to do something, for example, plant cacti or periodically get out into the mountains with a climbing club. If you manage to maintain balance, the Dog Woman will be happy.

Child born in the Year of the Dog

Usually strangers are happy about this baby: what an obedient, smart girl. But at home, this child can turn everything upside down. Therefore, parents should be strict, but not punish the baby in vain.

From the cradle, the Dog must see a certain standard of behavior in the parents. Doing it this way is right and good, but we will not do it this way, because it is harmful to health, nature or others.

Parents must show that they know exactly what they want from life and know how to achieve it. Demonstrating this to the Child-Dog, you do not need to impose your desires on him. It is useful to ask what he wants, how he plans to achieve it. Do you want to dance like they show on TV? Then we’ll go to a trial lesson in a nearby children’s club. Didn’t like Latin American dances? We can try hip-hop.

If you do not provide the child with opportunities and do not talk about the world, it will be more difficult for him to know himself and his interests, to reveal his talents.

Dog in different areas of life

All horoscopes sing of the Dog as a reliable friend. But after all, for some, the Dog is a lover, and for some, a stern boss. Let’s go through different areas to see how a person of this sign behaves in various situations.

Dog in love and marriage

For these people, even the brightest party will never replace the warmth of the hearth. Therefore, the Dog is a wonderful, caring, loving and faithful partner. But if it is important for you that your loved one constantly surprises, is ready for experiments and exploits, the Dog is not the best option. She values ​​stability and tranquility more.

dog in friendship

It is not without reason that there are so many books and films in the world that glorify canine devotion. A person born in the year of the Dog is a really good friend, always ready to help. And it doesn’t matter what needs to be done: to bring a canister of gasoline to the track at night, to pick up a child from a kindergarten, or to help finish eating a birthday cake, the Dog will definitely respond.

Dog in work and career

Responsible approach, diligence and maintaining a team spirit – for this the Dog is appreciated by the leadership and respected in the team. The dog is not ready to gnaw the throats of competitors for a warm place, she has a different approach. Demonstrating good results day after day, ignoring scandals and intrigues and not ignoring the May subbotniks, the Dog is gradually gaining the trust of his superiors. And one day he can lead the department. To the surprise of other employees.

From time to time, the Dog may be visited by ideas to quit everything and start their own business. Everything is possible, but you need strong support from loved ones. Otherwise, all brilliant ideas run the risk of remaining on paper or in your head.

Excellent prospects for the Dog can open up in the field of health and medicine, as well as in the field of law and politics.

Dog and health

Usually the Dog does not complain about health. Firstly, she is sick of whining and complaining, and secondly, she has too many different things to do to suffer from some other sores.

As a rule, Dogs have strong immunity, they tolerate colds well if they suddenly happen. But it may not avoid professional “sores”. Do not be too zealous in the service. If the work is sedentary, it is important to periodically warm up for yourself. If you have to do something with your hands – do not forget about massage and useful procedures. Do not neglect full meals during breaks and vitamin and mineral support for the body during reporting periods.

Shared recommendations for Dogs professional astrologer Katerina Dyatlova:

– First of all, Dogs should take care of their nerves and psyche. Worry and get angry less, visit a psychologist if there are many reasons for concern, drink soothing herbal teas and tinctures. Only without a specialist it is better not to prescribe anything to yourself, since the gastrointestinal tract is a rather vulnerable area and its health can be easily undermined.

Perhaps you should consume less meat, especially not the most natural options like sausage. It is better to switch to dietary – chicken and turkey. And if you are overweight, do not delay contacting a nutritionist. It is important for a dog to protect its sense of smell, sight and hearing, so try not to catch a cold and keep the body warm. Don’t read in the dark or on the go. And move away from neighbors with a puncher, noisy highways and loud relatives, who also seriously undermine the nervous system. Spend more time in peace in nature.

Dog Compatibility with Other Signs

A dog is an ideal friend and partner. And who will play this role in her life? Is it also a Dog or is it better to pay attention to other signs?

– The most comfortable thing for the Dog will be, surprisingly, with the Cat (aka Rabbit). Instead of living like a cat and a dog, these two will understand each other no worse than the characters in the cartoon “A Kitten Named Woof,” notes astrologer Katerina Dyatlova. – In second place is a beautiful independent Horse, which the Dog can become a devoted friend, both in love and in work. And finally, the Tiger. He never remains indifferent to the representatives of this wonderful sign and they have a good chance to build harmonious relationships.

Now let’s look at all the possible options.

Rat Dog

For both signs, a family, a house, a congenial person nearby are important. If during the first communication they manage to find common ground, agree on some fundamental things, attitude to life, the couple can succeed. The Rat will appreciate the devotion of the Dog and open his soul, and the partner will be fascinated by her lively mind and ability to create comfort at home.

The only thing that can stop them is some rivalry. Both signs have powerful energy, which can be aggressive. If both the Dog and the Rat live a full life, disappear for days at work, in the gym, and everyone is passionate about some kind of hobby, they will not have the strength to argue and swear at home. And they do not like to inflate conflicts from scratch. Why, if you can light a fire in a cozy bedroom?

Bull Dog

How does it happen: I fell in love, and then like a veil from my eyes – and what hooked me? The story of these two. Even if the Dog and the Ox charm each other when they meet, further relationships will be built with difficulty. And then – only with a great desire for each other. Despite the fact that the Dog values ​​uXNUMXbuXNUMXbfamily ties, in this she is far from the Ox. Well, really, what kind of beds, if there a friend needs to help bring a new TV to the house?

But if the Ox does not try to keep the Dog on a leash, but directs his attention to more interesting things, an even stable union can turn out.

Tiger Dog

Good compatibility. It is unlikely that it will be love at first sight, but when these guys “taste” each other, appreciate the merits of a partner to the fullest and in all situations, their choice will be more than justified.

By the way, the Tiger is one of the best “half” options for the Dog. He will be the leader in this pair and not necessarily the clear leader. Perhaps the “striped” will implicitly encourage the Dog to exploits, open horizons in front of it and set a positive example.

This union is built on mutual respect and compromise, support and honesty. These are, first of all, good friends, but the strongest love can grow on such soil.

Dog-Rabbit

Glare of a fire, fragrant tea and intimate conversations are the best entourage for this couple. Each of them can make a pleasant company for the other, it can even turn out to be a completely successful friendly union or a creative duet at work. But a stormy romance with broad prospects is not their case. No, passionate feelings between the Dog and the Rabbit may well flare up. But the light, as we know, needs to be maintained, and these two forgot to take care of the firewood and flint.

However, for a Dog that loves calmness and stability, a Rabbit is best suited for family life.

Dragon Dog

Remember this dramatic story from school geometry lessons about two lines that will never, ever intersect? So schematically you can depict the story of the Dog and the Dragon. The first is a practical and even somewhat mundane person, the second is striving to rise, to see what is beyond the horizon and, of course, to show himself in all his glory. The dragon needs success, spotlights, the admiration of others. The dog will get tired of bouncing all the time, rushing after a partner, and sooner or later will understand: it’s not for him that charlotte blushes in the oven.

Snake Dog

In this case, a harmonious tandem can develop. The snake is honest and ready to share worldly wisdom with loved ones. The dog appreciates this and pays with its devotion and sincere interest in the affairs and thoughts of the partner.

The main thing is not to lose balance. The Dog and the Snake know how to support each other, but banal jealousy can ruin everything. If two, especially the Snake, trust each other and learn not to make scenes from scratch, the grandmothers on the benches will fold their hands in tenderness, looking at this couple.

Dog-Horse

It may seem strange, but the Horse is considered a related sign for the Dog. They are different, but at the same time they do not irritate each other with this “otherness”. The horse in this pair is responsible for romance and affection, and even if she lacks warmth from her partner, her own will be enough for two. The Dog appreciates that they are not being pushed around and commanded, while the Horse can somehow unobtrusively push the Dog to development and adds optimism to her life.

Sheep Dog

One of the best options for an alliance. The Dog and the Sheep are similar in temperament, understand each other perfectly, and in order to feel great, they do not need to constantly talk about something.

The only thing that this tandem cannot be called bright. People around love this couple for their ability to create a pleasant, calm and friendly atmosphere, so they can have a large company of “family friends”.

But everything is not so perfect: partners often make petty verbal quarrels and squabbles. But this only adds variety to their measured calm life.

Monkey Dog

They are so different that it would never occur to anyone to put these guys in a pair. And yet, a bright and extraordinary duet can come out. The dog will give the Monkey a couple of kind words, help with advice and cover with a warm blanket. And the Monkey will add bright colors to the balanced life of the Dog. Of course, great love may not happen, but each of them is not averse to having such a friend, neighbor or colleague at work.

Rooster Dog

Relations from the series “taming of the shrew”. In this case, the Dog takes on the role of a tamer (or better, a tutor). However, the Rooster, although it may seem like a malleable material for modeling, is not so simple. And he, too, can be pissed off by the characteristic features of the Dog: excessive practicality, love of moralizing, sometimes pessimism.

However, if both stop finding fault with each other, and accept all the pros and cons of a partner, this relationship can grow to a significant anniversary date.

dog-dog

Two Dogs is already a pack. They value each other, mutual understanding reigns between them, ease in relations. But unless it touches each other’s personal interests. Can you imagine what would happen if two dogs found the same bone? However, they are gentle and quickly forget about their petty feuds. After all, it is still much better to live in peace, and especially if there is such a cozy warm barrel nearby.

Dog-boar

Relations in this pair are built on honesty and disinterestedness. It is easy for the Boar to charm the Dog, entertain it and add positive, and in return it will give him a sense of security and complete trust. This, though unusual, but interesting for each relationship. And even if they do not last long, everyone will have fond memories of each other.
