The Chinese Year of the Dog - by Tony Luck
If you or your child was born under the Chinese year sign for the Dog your friends will be glad you were! Meeting people for the first time can be difficult for Dogs who tend to be cautious about trusting people. They take care to sum up other people but their instincts are usually correct. Once a Dog has befriended you he will be a friend for ever. Dogs do not expect others to be perfect and will forgive a great deal rather than break a friendship. Honest, sincere and loyal, Dogs have a tendency to underestimate themselves and are notorious worriers. People born under this sign have strong humanitarian instincts and will work tirelessly to champion a cause they believe in. They have a strong instinct to help others and will rush to help any victim. There are twelve Chinese year signs in the Chinese Zodiac. Unlike in our western astrology, in Chinese astrology each sign lasts for a year. Legend has it that as Buddha was about to depart the earth he summoned all the animals to say goodbye. Only twelve turned up so, to show his appreciation of their loyalty, he vowed that from then on each year would bear the name of one of the animals. Chinese astrology is based on the Lunar Calendar. This means the Chinese New Year does not fall on the same day each year and can vary by as much as 3 weeks. So for babies born in late January/early February it is necessary to consult the charts to determine the correct sign. Chinese Years:
