@Ashley – Being a Snake for this year seems like a good thing . With the mention of promotion and good social activity and all.

I’m not really into Chinese mythology though. Although I’ve heard that year of the rats (like this year) are typically complicated years.

From what I’ve read on my calendar Dogs are hard workers, perfectionists and love the small details. Although dogs can be anti-social, pessimistic and stubborn they the most honest and loyal of signs. Dogs are also great listeners and any advice given is intuitive.

This is what stands before you in 2008 according to moonslipper.com (I’m rubbish at philosophy ): “The focus for 2008 will be on career advancement and positive financial aspects for the Dog. An unexpected job offer or change in direction will most certainly come up during the Year of the Rat and will greatly delight the Dog. With careful planning, their financial situation could greatly improve this year, providing security and a chance to make improvements or investments on the home front. Many Dogs will decide to get married or have a child this year, with love being wonderfully highlighted. As with some other Zodiac animals, fascinating opportunities need to be seized before they are gone – the Dog needs to remain alert and enthusiastic at all times in 2008. Friendship is important for the Dog this year and it may be in their best interest to get out and about to meet new friends – such as joining a club or association that would interest them. Only their efforts will make 2008 the memorable year it can be. June and October will be very happy times romantically.”

Seems all jolly for people whose sign is the Dog.
