Dog Chinese Horoscope

Knowing that by the end of next week the busy, industrious and work focused month of the Rabbit will be underway, adds to a need to embrace the last full week of the playful and creative month of the Tiger. It is not just that the Tiger puts the focus on the playful and creative side of life's fence that makes this the kind of energy that you want to hold onto. The Dog and the Tiger are the best of friends and when they are in harmony, life is going to flow more smoothly. This will be especially evident during a Dog Moon on Monday and Tuesday, with the Tiger likely to be at his most helpful and with things more likely to go your way.
Year of the Snake
Jan 29, 2025 - Feb 17, 2026
One of the biggest challenges for a Dog is that they are so invested in being a loyal friend, an advocate for the underdog and caring for others that they forget about themselves, and this can lead to feelings of being left out, that everything is all about everyone else and never about them. This year all that changes, for the moment the Dog sees the Snake, like any dog would, he barks and barks and barks, until either the Snake goes away or the Dog has lost interest. You’re that Dog and as life opens up keeping quiet will no longer be an option. You will want to be heard, and you’ll no longer want to keep your light under a bushel.

Finally, you are about to receive the attention, recognition and rewards that you deserve and you’re finally going to be noticed. This is a year for keeping yourself busy and putting yourself out there. The Year of the Snake is typically a fortunate year for the Dog, especially on the professional, money and both romantic and relationship fronts. This doesn’t mean that you’ll get an easy ride and most of the success you’ll enjoy this year will come from yourself and a new willingness to be heard, seen and noticed. A natural sense of curiosity could entice you back into learning, studying or even to travel.

While for you, the Year of the Snake doesn’t usually bring financial fortune this is a Wood Snake Year and for a Dog, this means money. This could bring highs and lows, but with the Snake’s natural caution and wisdom, your financial situation will improve with good management. With a busy professional year make time to relax, rest, get in enough exercise and eat healthy to ward off stress related health problems. Where you’re usually too busy helping others, this is a year for looking after you.

About the Dog
The Dog is loyal, sincere and altruistic. The Dog is one of the most objective and fair-minded signs in the zodiac. They believe in justice for all. They will fight passionately for their principles and champion the underdogs. For this reason, they can be self-righteous at times. Dogs see the world rather simplistically in "black & white" with no grey areas, hence they are incapable of appreciating mixed motives in people.

They have powerful and logical minds. Although friendly and positive, Dogs are often suspicious of strangers. This makes them slow to make friends.

You will always find them loyal, reliable, honest and generous. Good team players, they work well with other people, although you might find them stubborn and a bit narrow-minded.

They also take their time to give affection in romantic relationships and are often alarmed by those who display it openly and promptly. But when a Dog surrenders its affection, it is for life. They make extremely loyal partners.
