Chinese Zodiac - Year Of The Dog

The Chinese Zodiac calendar has persisted as a thought-provoking resource for inquiring minds about their personality traits for nearly two centuries. The calendar’s “Stem-Branch” system has 12 ancient animals – ranging from rabbits to roosters – representing specific birth years for individuals. These animals represent all of the things we see in ourselves that we may or may not be keen on pointing out on a daily basis, allowing for a better, more introspective analysis of our own character traits and life paths. Let’s take a look at the traits commonly found in the dog, a notoriously loyal animal that symbolizes those born every 12 years from 1922 to 2054.

Dogs hold great significance in Chinese history, generally thought to bring forth great fortune if brought to a home. The Chinese god Erlang was also said to have used a dog in the capture of dangerous monsters, proving its loyalty and strength as a creature. Those thought to embody the dog’s character traits are straightforward with their personalities and intentions, but are nevertheless kindhearted and adventurous in their drive for activity. Dogs do not give up on situations to the extent of being considered invasive or annoying in some circumstances. Still, these same people are capable of being stubborn and unwilling to budge on certain opinions or morals. In relationships, they are remarkably trustworthy but do not lend their trust to others very easily. Additionally, they are sometimes emotionally distant, filled with anxiety and even judgmental of others’ actions.

Favorable Matches with Dogs:

• Tigers. The personalities of these two “on the prowl” beings match surprisingly well, ensuring a level of trust that is not easily broken.

• Rabbits. These people are romantically wholesome and, as such, do not disappoint dogs or make them uneasy in a relationship (as they tend to be).

• Horses. Dogs best find compatibility with horses later in life, but still thrive on great relationships as free spirits that seek adventure in life.

Unfavorable Matches with Dogs:

• Oxen. The hot-tempered natures of these two personality types rarely make for a healthy relationship, and more often make for a bar-top brawl than a love nest feast of affection.

• Dragons. Dogs are loyal, but find difficulty in attaching loyalty to dragons, who boast their strong suits in a more authoritative and polarizing fashion, making dogs emotionally uninterested.

• Roosters. Leery of a rooster’s cunning tendencies and high level of arrogance, dogs are naturally turned off and unwilling to commit to the inevitable host of conflicts otherwise left in wait.
