Year of the Dog

Dog-born have the strongest sense of justice in the zodiac. They notice unfairness, can't stay silent about it, and will champion underdogs even at personal cost. Many lawyers, social workers, judges, journalists, and human-rights advocates are Dog-born.

Their loyalty is total. Once they trust you, you have a friend for life — they'll defend you in your absence, share their last resource with you, and remember small kindnesses for decades. They're protective by instinct, sometimes overprotective with family.

The Dog's shadow is rigidity in moral judgments. Their strong ethical compass can become inflexible — once they've decided someone is in the wrong, changing that view is difficult. They benefit from learning that complexity exists even in clear-cut situations.
