Year of the Dog
People born in the Year of the Dog are often described as loyal, honest and devoted to friends; when a friend is in trouble, you are the first to show up. You have a clear sense of right and wrong, keep your word, and are the person others count on most. The sticking point is worry: you carry other people's problems as well as your own. Sorting out what is yours to handle and what you can let go makes things much lighter.
Love
In love you are faithful and protective, and your partner feels secure beside you. Trusting them is part of loving them too: a little less worry, a little more faith.
Work
At work you suit roles that need integrity and responsibility, such as legal work, teaching, customer care, or being the team's gatekeeper. Remember to speak up for yourself too, not only for others.
