Some estimate it to be more than 3,000 years old but recent study of more esoteric beliefs place it further back into the clouded past of human history. In ancient China, and up until today Astrology has been used to predict what happens to countries, the outcome of wars, economic trends and much more. Chinese Astrology is organized according to 12 Animals Signs. One Chinese legend attributes the creation of the animal signs to the semi-mythical Yellow Emperor in 2637 B.C. According to another legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from Earth. Only 12 animals came to bid him farewell. As a reward he named a year after each other one in the order that they arrived. First came the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. Thus we have 12 signs today. The animal ruling year in which you were born exercises a profound influence on your life. As the Chinese say, "This is the animal that hides in your heart".

Years born : 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 The dog is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. According to Chinese folklore, each animal is associated with certain personality traits. People born in this year are loyal, honest, and trustworthy, but can also be stubborn and selfish. Dogs get along with Horses, Rabbits, and Tigers. The Dog is the eleventh Sign of the Chinese Zodiac, and is a Yang animal associated with the Metal Element. Recent Dog years have been 1958, 1970, 1982 and 1994, with the next Dog year coming around in 2006. Dogs are essentially honest and noble creatures, who have a tendency to see all issues in terms of black and white. They are possessed of a sharp tongue, which they use to defend passionately their cause of choice. Idealists to a fault, with impeccably moral qualities, Dogs are also quickly turned by the slings and arrows of the world into sour cynics, riddled with doubt and anxiety at the state of affairs of a planet that they had no personal hand in creating, yet somehow feel responsible for anyway. The female Dog (no name-calling, please) is possessed of an extraordinarily grim sense of humor that can enthrall as easily as it repels. You are quite ambitious in your chosen profession, and you have the required talent necessary to go far, if only you can stay the course and not be discouraged by a few early defeats. You need to learn patience -- nothing happens all at once. You are a good conversationalist, convivial and attractive -- you are a valued guest at parties. You tend to have impossibly high standards in all things, and others who fail to meet the criteria of your personal value system will seem lessened in your eyes, even if their failings are those possessed in equal measure by all human beings. The male Dog's hallmark is loyalty to those who you deem part of his immediate circle. You are a true family man, and make a loving husband and a protective father. You are slow to make close friends, but those few you do make will be tried-and-true allies for life. You have a very ironic sense of humor, and the only subject matter that you prefer to self-deprecation is criticizing the foibles of others. This may escalate into an incurable tendency to spread gossip, which may result in your being eighty-sixed from all of the best clubs in town, if not kept in careful check. You are prone to depression, but would sooner die rather than reveal this to others. You have such a firm belief in the rightness of your opinions that you have acquired a reputation for hard-headedness. ¡¡ · 1.56" in diameter, 2.5mm in thick. · Encapsulated in clear plastic case for perfect protection |
