Overview In 2017, you people born in 1982 under the zodiac sign of Dog will encounter a trough period in life because the earthly branch 'Xu' (戌) of Dog will harm the earthly branch 'You' (酉) of Tai Sui (the Grand Duke Jupiter), thus your luck will change greatly due to the influence of external factors and most of the changes will be unfavorable.

You will have greatly increased shopping desire and be more likely tempted by the advertising or affected by the friends to spend a large amount of money on unnecessary products. Under the influence of your vanity, you will compare with others to buy the more expensive products, which will further increase the expenditure. Besides, you will be more likely to lose money; you'd better not bring too much cash while go out and you should take care of your valuable articles in case of being stolen.

Love Relationship In this 2017, your marriage and love relationship will be frequently affected by the external factors mainly in the forms like extramarital affair and third party stepping in.

If you can notice the problems in love relationship and solve the problems timely, the situation will be not bad. You single females will have better luck with the opposite sex. Despite the good luck with the opposite sex, you single males will be unlikely to find the right one.

Health The problems in health for the Dogs born in 1982 will mainly lie in the aspect of mental state in 2017. You should learn to relieve the pressure, especially the mental pressure, in daily life and never be anxious. Meanwhile, you should keep an eye on your family's health.

Overview * The prediction is valid for 2018 (year of the Dog) starting from February 16, 2018 and lasting to February 4, 2019.

Since 2018 is the year of Wood Dog 'Wu Xu' (戊戌), you people under the Dog sign in Chinese Zodiac will be in the animal year (Ben Ming Nian) and experience ups and downs in the overall luck. But you don't need to be too nervous because you may change the negative factors in a targeted manner for good luck. As the ancient Chinese saying goes, a happy event can counteract three disasters. Prior to 2018, you Dog people can get prepared in advance and set about to plan the happy events in your life, such as getting married, purchasing house or having a baby. No matter the happy event takes place in 2017 or 2018, it will change the ups and downs in your Ben Ming Nian to joyous matters. * You under the Dog sign will Fan Tai Sui (Clash with Tai Sui) in year 2018. Click the following link to get cures: → Chinese Zodiac 'Fan Tai Sui' with Remedies Wealth Rating: Due to the influence of Taisui who is the Grand Commander of the Year, you people under the Dog sign will experience ups and downs when it comes to the luck for wealth and you should not expect too much. You workers shall stick to your post and never make a job-hopping until you find a new job. You businessmen shall not make excessive expansion unless you are absolutely sure. Also, you Dogs will be prone to money fraud and you should read through the contract and document related to money carefully to prevent from falling into the money trap. In particular, you should not be credulous to the promise of high interest or high return. In addition, you will be prone to accidents and the elders in your family will also be prone to diseases under the influence of two inauspicious stars 'Jian Feng' (剑锋) and 'Fu Shi' (伏尸). Therefore, you will spend a lot in medical treatment. Fortunately, your luck for wealth will be worth looking forward to because of the blessing

of auspicious star 'Sui Jia' (岁驾) and you work on logistics, transportation and other similar industries will have anticipated incomes. Blessed by the auspicious star 'Hua Gai' (华盖), you engaged in art and creation related industries, such as writer, designer and artist, will expect rich creative inspirations and get corresponding returns. Career Rating: You Dog people will be greatly tested in career and encounter all kinds of unexpected difficulties at work, so you should be prudent and play for safety to avoid losses. Blessed by the auspicious stars 'Sui Jia' (岁驾) and 'Hua Gai' (华盖), you working steadily will fully display your personal ability and get the superior's approval and recognition, so the promotion can be expected soon. Under the influence of Taisui, however, you will be envied and framed by others easily, leading to the delay or mistake in project. Besides, 'Hua Gai' is a narcissistic star and you Dogs may become maverick under its influence, making others feel unapproachable and affecting your interpersonal relationship. As a result, you are suggested to smile to others, take the initiative to make friendly contacts with colleagues, and listen to others' advice to benefit your career development a lot. If you have a business plan, you should make it well-planned and think twice before you act, or you will be frustrated. In addition, you will be easily cheated or dragged in the cooperation with others and you should do important things by yourself rather than putting into another's hands. You Dog people in business will have your performance seriously affected and you should be prepared. Instead of following the routine, you should change your thinking and actively seek the new scheme suitable for the market or launch the products meeting the latest demands of customers to win. Love Relationship Rating: Due to the clash with Tai Sui, you Dogs will be quite emotional and have more negative emotions in this year. You married may bring the work troubles back home and quarrel or have cold war with your love because of trivial matters. Also, you may encounter a third party in your marriage; once you have a trouble with your love, the outsider will take advantage of it. For you Dogs in love, the matter most concerned will be whether you can get married in your Ben Ming Nian. The answer is yes. If you have a stable relationship and are complete with everything needed, you might as well choose an auspicious day to hold the wedding in this year for the effect of counteracting three disasters with a happy event. If you have no wedding plan, your relationship will be affected and you may have the risk of breaking up. For you Single Dogs, your luck with the opposite sex will be quite complicated. Although you may have a crash on someone, you don't think this is the ideal one and it will be hard to develop the relationship even if he/she has the intention. So you should develop the relationship patiently rather than act rashly.

Health Rating: In 2018, the family luck and health of you Dogs will be most vulnerable to impact. Since you are under the influence of three inauspicious stars 'Tai Sui' (太岁), 'Jian Feng' (剑锋) and 'Fu Shi' (伏尸), the health of you and your elders will be seriously affected, and you may often have a bee in your head and feel depressed. As a result, you are suggested to chat with friends to release negative emotions. In the year of misfortune, you should beware of hand and foot joint injury and sharp tools because of the inauspicious star 'Jian Feng' (剑锋). You should warm up first in daily exercise and never distract while using the sharp tools to avoid an accident. Also, you'd better stay away from dangerous things. Since you are in clash with Tai Sui, you will always be out of mind and you should not stay up late frequently, or your work efficiency in the day will be affected and you will be prone to traffic accidents. 2018 Horoscope Forecast for Dogs Born in Different Years: → 1970 Dog (born between February 06, 1970 and January 26, 1971) → 1982 Dog (born between January 25, 1982 and February 12, 1983) → 1994 Dog (born between February 10, 1994 and January 30, 1995)

The emergence of new authors and philosophers, as much as the reissue of forgotten texts by great classical writers and poets, should wake up and feed this collective awareness. We can also expect to witness the birth of new ambitious industrial projects, completely remodeling the modes of production and exploitation of energy resources, particularly in the field of solar energy, which now matured enough to become one of the main cheap sources of electricity both in transportation and at home. All initiatives showing their contribution to reducing pollution and improving the quality of life are encouraged and funded by most states, major industrial and financial institutions worldwide. Actions based solely on individual drive and demagogy are unmasked and rejected by the majority, giving way during this period to the more universal values of empathy and social justice. The Earth element in its Yang form, associated with the Chinese zodiac sign of the Dog, just as a mountain watching over humans living on the edge of her dress of stone, vibrates from inside with the tremor of truth and justice, even for those of us who don’t want to hear it.

Chinese astrology differs from western astrology is that it is based on the type of life force (qi) and not on the position and movement of the stars.

2018 Political Predictions: Foretelling the Future Using the Chinese Zodiac The year of the earth dog, which begins on February 16th, 2018, could be a turning point in human history. This is because Donald Trump is born in the year of the dog, and while the dog is generally man’s best friend, it also has a dark side. The dark side of those who are born during this cycle is that they are quick to anger, critical of others, stubborn and won’t take advice, hypersensitive to criticism, and deeply emotional.

Of course, there is the other side. They are deeply loyal to their families, friends, and those who support them. ‘Dogs’ are straightforward (honest in that they say what they think), friendly, and feel deeply responsible for the welfare of others. Think about canines for a moment. When they are badly treated by strangers, they will bite. Regardless of how friendly and loyal they are, man’s best friend do attack others, and these attacks can be the result of their master’s commands or simply a matter of self-preservation or anger. Donald Trump is born in the year of the fire dog. That makes him a leader, but it also makes him an aggressive one. The fire element makes it difficult for him to control his emotions, and his desire to dominate others will be very intense, indeed. The energy of the dog is going to be emphasized. This means that while the characteristics of friendliness, loyalty, and service will be increased, so will the traits of attacking (biting), quarrelling, fighting, and rebelling when the situation is no longer tolerable. As President Trump has already indicated, he does not sit quietly and go into the night. He will use every means at his disposal to retain his position and get what he wants. This, almost certainly, will result in conflict and chaos of some type. The current political ambience, where a great many people are inclined to mock President Trump, could trigger an outpouring of anger so intense that it would result in nuclear warfare and other illfated events. There is a reason that dog years are the start of many a revolution.

2018 Year of the earth dog

Difference Between Chinese and Western Astrology While Western astrology purports to tell the future based on the movement of the stars, Chinese astrology does no such thing. What it does is examine the characteristics of the life force (Qi or Chi) of a particular year and compare that with the characteristics of the Qi of people involved.

So, instance, how would a person born in the year of the fire dog respond to the influence produced by the life force in a year of the dragon? What would the effect of the year of the pig be on someone born in the year of the rabbit? In other words, unlike Western astrology, Chinese astrology does not foretell the future. Instead it determines what the general weather will be like and how each of the animal signs will fare in that weather. Those who are aware of the stumbling blocks can avoid them.

About half the world's population use Chinese astrology to get an idea of how the life-force is going to affect events and personal lives. | Source

The Basics of Chinese Astrology The Chinese believe that there is a life force (Qi) on earth that infiltrates all that are alive. This life force has a 60 year cycle, and each of the years has different characteristics. When a person is born, they take on the particular characteristics which were present in the Qi (or Chi) of that year. So, for instance, in the year of the earth dog, every child that is born between the 16th February, 2018 and the 4th February, 2019 will have the characteristics of the dog. This is called the year sign, and you will determine your horoscope by reading what the energy is like for your year sign. If you do not know your year year sign, you can find it here. Your horoscope can be read towards the bottom of this article.

Everybody also has a rising sign (otherwise known as your secret animal) depending on the hour they were born. The rising sign will reveal who you are at your core (equivalent to the moon in Western astrology). You also have an inner animal (as per the list below). This determines who you will grow into in later years. When you are old, you will have more of the characteristics of your inner animal than your year animal. February 4th - March 5th: Tiger March 6th - April 4th: Rabbit April 5th - May 4th: Dragon May 5th - June 5th: Snake June 6th - July 6th: Horse July 7th - August 6th: Goat August 7th - September 7th: Monkey September 8th - October 7th: Rooster October 8th - November 6th: Dog November 7th - December 6th: Pig December 7th - January 5th: Rat January 6th - February 3rd: Ox So, for instance, I was born in the year of the rabbit with dragon rising and an inner monkey. I was also born in the metal year. When looking at my horoscope, I will look at my year animal which has the strongest influence. I will aIso, however, give a quick read-through of the horoscope for my rising sign and my inner animal. This will not be a huge influence, but it's good to know what all influences are for the coming year. For my own horoscope, thereore, I would look at the rabbit as I was born in the year of the rabbit. I would then glance at the dragon (rising sign) and the monkey (my inner animal). This way, I can get a feel for the year ahead. This brings us to the elements of the Chinese zodiac. There are five elements – wood, metal, earth, fire, and water. The sixty year Qi cycle is composed of five series of twelve (there are twelve animals) years. Each time an animal year is repeated, it has a different element. Elements tell you more about your characteristics. You can determine your element by the number of the year you were born in. If it ends in 0 or 1, for instance, you would be metal. Another example would be that 2018 ends in an 8, so it would be an earth year.

0 or 1, you are a metal element. 2 or 3, you are a water element. 4 or 5, you are a wood element. 6 or 7, you are a fire element. 8 or 9, you are an earth element. All this information has a greater or lesser influence on the current life-force year. So if you are born in the year of the wood monkey, and 2018 is the year of the earth dog, you would figure out how someone with monkey year characteristics would survive in a year where the life energy (Chi) was that of an earth dog. The Chinese zodiac does not foretell the future. It tells you what the energy of that year is going to be like, and whether your animal energy is compatible with it or not. When they are not compatible, it is best to lie low. When they are compatible, it’s time to stretch your wings. If you would like to have more information about Chinese astrology, wikihow is an excellent source.

There are 12 animal signs, and each of these impacts on the energy of the current year.

Interpretation of the Zodiac Is Only an Opinion I spent some six or seven hours reading through the various Chinese masters to get some sort of idea of what could be expected in the coming year. Predictions and horoscopes vary, with some blatantly contradicting the other.

Overall, the general consensus was that technology would move forward rapidly while there would be political turmoil across the world, and that Trump would not be in a happy place. Innovation would impact on the social order, some of it positively and some of it negatively. Virtually all countries would be faced with a decision – either change for the higher good or descend into chaos. New ideologies would make themselves known. In general, for all in this year, those in business will not so well, while those in the sciences and the arts will flourish.

Dog Despite this being your animal sign, you will be lucky one day and not so lucky the next day. However, with your friendly nature and your capacity to wish good for all, you will quickly be able to turn difficult situations your way. The exception to this is if you allow your emotions to get out of control and ‘bite’ the people involved in disputes. In this case, things could go very badly for you. Financial fraud may come back to haunt you, so wherever you are and whatever you do, it’s best to stick to the rules this year. It’s also best not to expand your business or ask your boss for a raise or promotion. Don’t go for broke, and don’t trust the promises of those who would take what you have. Dogs are far too trusting! That said, you could make a lot of money in 2018 and lose it just as quickly. As you have a capacity to be overly emotional, and as this year will emphasize anger and fights, you’re going to have to practice self-control. The least said, the soonest situations will be mended. The best industries for you to focus on this year will be the arts and entertainment. One of your big challenges this year is to look after your health. You may suffer a breakdown or an accident of some sort. This could be expensive. Take care to do everything diligently, slowly, and with care. In terms of love and romance, it will be a rocky road. It’s best to put out the paw of friendship than to insist on your own way. Love will not remain if you insist on dominating your partner or want your own way. There could also be a marriage on the cards for those who are single. Dog From a sentimental perspective, this zodiac sign will go through many changes. The married natives should be more careful, otherwise they will risk the dissolution of their marriage. They can fall in love easily, but their feelings can disappear as fast.

How is your financial life in the Dog Year 2018 Find out what it means and how the stars will influence our financial status, for each chinese zodiac sign. Dog The Dog natives will have a very good year financially speaking. They will evolve professionally and as a result, they will have more money in their pockets. In just few words, they will be able to afford almost everything they want and they will show wisdom when it comes to impulsive spending.
