Those with the Chinese zodiac sign of the Dog are pessimistic to a fault. They can at first seem cold and distant and it can be difficult when you first meet them to work out what they are thinking. However, these are individuals who are eager for justice and always ready to help those in need.

    Trait of the Dog sign in Chinese astrology

    • Qualities: Cautious, generous, sensitive and courageous
    • Flaws: Anxious, cynical, clear-cut, and stubborn
    • Life goal: Open yourself up to the outside world to bring a touch of whimsy to your daily life.

    This is a generous sign. When you do not know them, they can seem strange and difficult to figure out. The Dog is capable of showing interest in mysterious things, which seem irrational. He loves watching horror films or science fiction, being attracted by the imaginary world, even the surreal. He will love reading sad poetry or listening to sad lyrics.

    This is a sign that looks on the dark side of life. He will tend to see things as worse than they really are. Consequently, the Dog is a cynic, having a predilection for criticising politicians and society. Nothing is right and there are no solutions. The dominant force of this sign is Yang.

    Love of the Dog

    The Dog is faithful with a courteous attitude towards love. Tradition is very important and marriage holds no fears for him. He looks for a lifelong companion, finding this reassuring. He will not be the type to seduce someone, if there is no chance of a future outcome. One-night stands do not suit him. He becomes easily attached to others.

    This is not a person who is going to launch into a relationship without prior reflection. He does not let his heart rule his head and moves cautiously to make sure he is not making a mistake. He is an attentive companion. With him, habit can quickly get the upper hand, but his good qualities are so many that you cannot help but love him.

    On the other hand, he is jealous and likes to feel that his feelings are reciprocated. He often needs reassurance from his partner, which should defuse his pessimistic approach. You know that whatever the Dog says, he will always fight against adversity.

    Strengths of the Dog

    The Dog is reliable and a faithful friend. He is loyal. He will always be there for those he loves, in the face of all problems and however much time passes. He is also discreet and will never be an intrusive friend. He respects others' privacy and hates bothering people.

    Being helpful and devoted, he will never refuse to do anyone a favour, being always ready to help. He is a reassuring friend, who can be counted upon. Throughout life, he will be able to forge firm contacts with those around him.

    Weaknesses of the Dog

    The Dog has a tendency to criticise everything and everybody. There are no half-measures, everything is wrong! There are always comments about the behaviour of such and such a person. The Dog would like everything to be perfect, and yet there is no such thing as perfection. The world is not perfect and this is what the Dog finds difficult to accept.

    Hence his excessive pessimism: if nothing is perfect, then the world is at fault. He does not beat about the bush: life is a sad business and full of flaws, and people behave like animals towards each other. This could be the Dog's motto, yet he is capable of living in harmony with those around him.

    Being very sensitive, the Dog sees people's faults in their entirety and none escape his notice. This hypersensitivity makes him unhappy and he can sometimes upset others, who feel they are being judged.

    Work of the Dog

    The Dog is a natural worker. He loves to make himself useful. For him, working is a way of demonstrating his abilities to others and feeling that his existence is entirely useful. He will be happy in a quiet job with regular hours. Being a salaried employee does not bother him, as he does not particularly set out to be a team leader or star of the show. He is honest and his work will be carried out very conscientiously.

    He has good relations with his colleagues, being someone easy to get on with and whom people are willingly drawn to.

    On the other hand, those born under this sign have a tendency to be stubborn. And when they think they are right, it is difficult to convince them otherwise.
