It might be frustrating at times trying to get things going your way. Rats might expect the pace of life to slow down in the year of the Dog. If you're making travel plans be sure you have them arranged down to the last detail. You won’t be as relaxed as normal and you may worry too much about trivial matters. You won’t always see eye to eye with loved ones but rather than ending relationships, you will gain respect for other people’s points of view! |
 |
Although at times you will feel you have more than your fair share of problems, many obstacles won’t be as difficult as you expect. Where you anticipate failure, you could succeed through perseverance and determination. This is a year when progress will be slow but you will be pleased with results of your efforts. People will be supportive especially during those times when you expect objections to come your way! |

You might expect to proceed with personal endeavours. You prefer to work behind the scenes and you won’t feel as sociable as usual in the year of the Dog.

Family life is happy. Romance too will have its special moments! |

Be cautious about making changes in the year of the Dog. If you feel uncomfortable in a certain environment or when with some people, it might be better to break ties with these areas. However don’t be in a rush to instigate anything new. This year will be a good year for you, if you are careful. Avoid confrontation. Be sensible and try to see the good in those you don’t get on with at this time. |

You will see the sense in launching new projects and making changes during the year of the Dog. Sometimes, however, you might feel lacking in energy or too negative to do anything about this. If you can find the right kind of motivation, you could make a big difference in your life. If, however, you do nothing, you can expect to start feeling as if you are stuck in a rut. This year, the progress you make is really up to you! |
 |
You begin the year feeling positive, alert and determined to make the most of what you have. This helps you decide what must be done to make life more enjoyable in the future. Rather than making changes or beginning anything new, this is a time when you should simply enjoy what you have achieved so far in life. The year of the Dog is a good year for academic interests. A study or training course will go well. |

Confusion will at times hinder your progress in the Year of the Dog. Sometimes you will feel as if people don’t understand you. It might seem as if your goals aren’t shared by your loved ones and it is difficult to reach a compromise. You need to be in an organised frame of mind to keep everything running smoothly. Accept challenges in a positive manner. Don’t feel you must give in without really trying. |
 |
This isn't a year to jump in without considering the consequences. Be wary, especially if dealing with people you don't know very well. In financial and legal dealings you need to have your wits about you. You must be sure to look after your own interests. If you trust others to make decisions for you, they could make the wrong ones. Be assertive and keep both feet on the ground. |
 |
Be sensible as the year begins and don’t be tempted to sweep unpaid bills under the carpet. Instead, restructure your finances as this will help you clear a backlog of neglected invoices. You tie up the loose ends of the past and make positive progress in the year of the Dog. You will need to be flexible in order to sort out a few private or family problems. |
 |
This is a good year for you. Plans for the future are discussed and agreed on. Progress is reasonably fast. Some home improvement plans deserve consideration even if you can't stand the idea of the mess they will bring. – It will be worth it in the end. Friendship and love affairs will flourish due to you being more sensitive and responsive now. |
 |
Responsibilities are on the increase and that puts some strain on your health. You must, therefore, be sensible and take precautions to protect your general well being in the year of the Dog. You’re likely to bump into someone from the past. They could become an important part of your life again. This is a generally stable and calm year as long as you stay in control of your emotions. |
