The Dog in 2008

Overall Forecast For The Year
-
For Dogs, 2008 will be deined by difficult beginnings that somehow turn into sweet endings. Negative stars abound in the Dog Palace this year, but, luckily, the auspicious Sky Relief Star ensures that all will end acceptably well. Keep in mind, however, that you will have to be patient and persevering to make sure all things resolve properly. This experience will be valuable for Dogs, because through this, you will learn the importance of self-realisation.
-
The first inauspicious star is the Blood Knife Star. This star denotes bodily harm and bleeding. Prevention would be wise, so try to avoid dangerous activities and high risk sports. In addition to this, you should go for a medical check up that includes a full blood test. Under extreme circumstances, you may even require surgery, so do all you can to avoid risky situations!
-
The second inauspicious star is the Suspended Guest Star. With this star in your palace, the traditional belief is that you should not attend funerals, visit people at the hospital, or put yourself in any place of death or sickness, because you yourself may fall ill.
-
The Solitary Star is yet another negative star in your celestial path. This star denotes loneliness and estrangement. You may face difficulties in expressing your feelings or getting others to understand you. Relations with close friends and family will require more work than usual, and may become strained.
-
The Fu Chen or Float and Sink Star makes it inadvisable to play with water. Avoid water related activities, in particular, dangerous pursuits like sailing, diving and white water rafting.
-
Even with the Sky Relief Star in your palace, the negative effects of all these inauspicious stars will still be felt. You should keep a low proile and try to keep things peaceful with others around you. Accept the difficulties of this year, and spend the year in preparation for better times. This is the time for self-cultivation and self realisation, spending more time with family and becoming more spiritual.
