February 16: Celebrate Chinese Year of the Dog

Foreign languages express a dog's bark in different ways. In English, dogs go "Arf "or "Woof." In French, barking sounds like "Ouah, Ouah" and in Chinese, "Wang, Wang." "Wang Cai" is a popular name for Chinese dogs, because it means "prosperous wealth."

In the Chinese zodiac, those born in the Years of the Dog (1946, 58, 70, 82, 94, 2006, 18, etc.) are loyal, honest, just and have strong morals. They are great friends, because they give wonderful advice and help others break bad habits. It seems these loyal friends also could use a friend, since their friendly nature belies inner worry, anxiety, stress, and even pessimism that can cause unhealthy eating. They need to relax, maybe with yoga.

I guess those born in Dog Years should wear green, red, and purple which are said to be their lucky colors, and they should look forward to days on their lucky numbers: 3, 4, and 9. In contrast, they should stay away from blue and brown and beware of 1, 7, and 8.

What is a good profession for those born in Dog Years? Their ability to make correct judgments about people suits them for work as referees, lawyers, and interviewers.

No matter in what zodiac year Chinese children are born, they all like to celebrate the New Year, when they receive coins in red envelopes.
