Chinese Astrology Predictions 2008: The Dog
Chinese astrology is an ancient art which guides people all over the world through fulfillment and enlightenment. Let's see the yearly (2008) prediction for the Chinese sign of the Dog.
A new 12-year cycle started at Feb 7,
2008 with the Year of the Rat according to the Chinese calendar. This important cycle (or era) ends at Feb 5, 2019. It is a 12-year period generally ruled by the universal element of Earth. There are also other elements which rule over each of the 12 years. For example Earth rules over the first and the second year of the cycle (2008, 2009) while Metal rules over the third and the fourth year of the cycle (2010, 2011). The year 2008 is also ruled by the sign of the Rat and has a Yang (male) nature. So 2008 is the Yang year of the Earth Rat. What are the predictions for the sign of the Dog for 2008? This is what this article is all about.
The Dog rules over 2018 in the 12-year cycle. Being the eleventh sign makes the Dog very patient. It must wait for 11 years before its favorable year arrives. During 2008 Dog people will continue to prove how loyal and faithful they are. These people will be trusted with important tasks, secrets, classified information etc. Their partners will value them more than ever this year. Dog people will reward them by helping them in every way they can.
2008 is a great year for Dog people to take care of themselves. They will likely pay more attention than usual to their outer appearance. They might make significant changes in their wardrobe and the way they dress. Possible radical changes may occur in their lifestyle in general.
Dog people will be very talkative and persuasive during 2008 due to the Rat's energy. Being a yearly ruler, the Rat will also give them the ability to understand complex situations and problems and provide smart solutions.
The element of Earth which rules over 2008, will make Dog people cold emotionally and a bit distant. These people should try anything to avoid such feelings and behaviors. One way to do that is by using their sharp tongue to seek help from others.
The Yang (male) nature of 2008 gives Dog people increased leading capabilities and makes them intelligent and caring. A peculiar effect of this nature on these people is that it makes them accusing and yelling!
Here are my predictions using the five star system. This has to do with the overall positive energy that the Dog will receive during 2008. One star (*) means less energy than expected, while five stars (*****) mean more energy than expected. Three stars (***) mean equal amount of positive and negative energy which is a balanced situation:
