With a universal sense of humour, witty, camp and shooting star quality that is a joy to behold, you are like a breath of fresh air. Powerfully creative forces, dogs are endowed with truly great talent. Dog women can be stunning femme fatales with diva-like reputations and the men are renowned for their genius capacity. With firm convictions and a belief in justice, you serve unselfishly for the good of mankind. The Chinese compare dog signs to the ocean: calm on the surface with unimaginable activity inside. You are essentially insecure with a noble heart that you find difficult to entrust to anyone.

Suitable careers: anything in the arts, finance managers, real estate managers, law, police, politics, religion.

Your fortunes in 2010
It’s not easy for you to open yourself to scrutiny or to make yourself vulnerable without there being significant reward at the end of it. Your pal, the Tiger may have promised you a safety net whilst encouraging you to be freer with your emotions and open yourself to love. Security is provided but you will learn life’s lessons through experience just as everybody does. Free yourself of your inhibitions and reveal that secret part of you. You’re as beautiful on the inside as on the outside; isn’t it time you started believing this too? Returning to your defences and stubborn behaviour will stunt your growth so avoid it. Be brave and put your heart on the line, every thing might not go as you please, but you will have a great time nonetheless. Generally a positive year.
