Chinese Astrology 2018: Earth Dog
Happy New Year. Chinese New Year falls on February 16, 2018. It will
be the Year of the Earth Dog (sometimes called the Yellow Dog).
Dog
years are quiet years where loyalty and prudent action is rewarded.
In 2018 people will be watchful but not quick
to take action unless suddenly it feels necessary and even then there
will be a strong desire to hold back, to wait and plan. People will be
more apt to worry rather than act. When things are done they will be
done in the most efficient manner, with no wasted energy. Success comes
slowly but surely after such careful plans.
2018 will be a purpose filled year. After the
intense energy last year we're more pragmatic and careful with our time
but not necessarily our money (what constitutes an extravagance for one
will be considered a necessity for another). People become innovative
and clever where resources are scarce. Working with others, pulling
together different people with diverse talents will fuel the
breakthroughs we'll see this year.
In 2018 we benefit by following our instincts.
We have nothing to fear in moving forward when our gut confirms it's the
right direction. In Dog years we can be sentimental, thinking of the
past, what worked and what lessons we learned. We can incorporate that
knowledge and our connection to the guidance of the Universe to
confidently move forward on our goals.

What's the forecast for
ambitious Rat? |
This is a more challenging year for Rat natives. Rat energy moves
very quickly and this year you have the slow, prudent Dog energy to deal
with. An Earth Dog, no less, the slowest, most careful, most
conservative of all the Dogs. But for Rat natives, challenges mean
opportunities for creative solutions and this year your storehouse of
skills comes in handy.

What's the forecast for
hard-working Ox? |
AWhat starts a challenges and difficulties melt away with just a little
effort this year. Don't shy away from things you want to do because obstacles
will fall away once you've set your mind to your goal. It's a good year to get
out of the house. Travel and being social brings rewards. Try to do it even if
you would rather sit it out.

What's the forecast for
impulsive Tiger? |

don't join you at the party.

What's the forecast for
diplomatic
Rabbit? |
A happy year ahead for Rabbit natives. Lots of the issues of the previous
year just seem to work themselves out. You find doors opening that have been
closed before. You get "yeses" where you only found "nos" in the past. That
said, don't rock the boat at work. It would be best to be in harmony with your
supervisor. If you can't then it's time to on to something else.
 |
What's the forecast for
powerful Dragon? |
A challenging year for Dragon natives as people around you seem stuck in the
practical and obvious and unaware of the potential that could be achieved. You
need to make peace with enemies or at least find a compromise otherwise you will
find your way forward blocked. Or you can remove yourself entirely by moving or
changing jobs.
 |
What's the forecast for
wise Snake? |
A good year for Snake natives even though you will have to make some
compromises and adjustments throughout the year. You see money and relationship
opportunities when you open your eyes. Others will be in awe of your wisdom and
advice. Take some time for yourself and care for your health in general. Eat
right and exercise and you will gain many benefits.

you in your goals. You have opportunities when you tell others of what you want.

career as well as enter into some very valuable relationships. Invitations to
social events should not be ignored.

What's the forecast for
generous Sheep? |
A somewhat stressful year for Sheep natives as there are many changes
happening in your life or to people you care about. This could mean job changes,
moving or changes in important relationships. But your stress turns to joy as

that lead to real opportunities and ultimately success.

clever Monkey? |
A somewhat challenging year for Monkey natives as you are wanting to have
things move much faster than they seem to be. You must focus on the progress you
are making, which is in the right direction, and allow things to take the time
they take. True friends will emerge and you will find some real loyalty in
unexpected places. Invest cautiously and reap rewards.

What's the forecast for
inquisitive Rooster? |
A much better year for Rooster natives unfolds with you gaining a lot of
ground where it seemed to be lost before. You are now making solid progress on
your goals and while you haven't hit the end zone yet you can see you're on your
way. Relationships with others improve and old wounds begin to heal. It's good
to be social as it brings opportunities.
 |
What's the forecast for
loyal and loving Dog? |
A good but hard year as you start your new 12 year cycle. The things you
wanted in the past have no interest for you now. New opportunities are
everywhere but you see little progress though you're working hard. There are no
obstacles except your own self doubt. Trust yourself and step onto the path by
taking direct action. Small results will grow into large gains.
 |
What's the forecast for
intuitive Pig (or Boar)? |
This is the last year of your 12 year cycle. You have the opportunity
to reap the rewards of the last cycle. Take what you know and parlay
that into a better job, a deeper more loving relationship, stronger
social connections or whatever you want. This is a year to take decisive
action. It's harvest time. Avoid procrastination at all costs.
