Chinese zodiac
π Dog
Already decided you're one of the good ones.
- loyal
- honest
- protective
- worries easily
Dogs commit early and completely, then spend real energy worrying about whether the commitment is returned. Their loyalty is never in doubt. What they need is reassurance that it's mutual.
That worry comes from taking things seriously. Dogs genuinely cannot relax into a good thing until they have been told, more than once, that the good thing is real. Direct, unprompted reassurance does more for a Dog than any grand gesture.
At best / what to watch for
At their best: The one person in the room who will actually go to bat for you.
Watch for: Assuming the worst is coming even when nothing's wrong yet.
Who the Dog matches
Best natural match: Rabbit. Natural allies: Horse and Tiger. Hardest match: Dragon.
Which years are Dog years?
1946 Β· 1958 Β· 1970 Β· 1982 Β· 1994 Β· 2006 Β· 2018 Β· 2030
Born in January or February? You may belong to the year before, because the animal changes at Lunar New Year, not January 1.
Not sure if youβre actually the Dog?
The Chinese zodiac year turns over on the lunar new year, not January 1. If you were born in late January or February, the year printed on most sites can be wrong.

Why two Dogs can be so different
The zodiac animal uses one fact about your birth: the year. Saju, the Korean birth chart, uses the year, month, day and hour, weighed as five elements. That is why two Dogs born twelve years apart can come out very differently.
