Chinese Dog 2018 will be a variable one for the Dog. Progress will not always be easy and he could also face some disappointments, but this does not necessarily mean it will be a bad year. There will be some happy times in between some of the vexations and the year will also leave a powerful legacy which the Dog will be able to build on in the future.
In setting about his activities the Dog does, though, need to liaise closely with others as well as be mindful of their views. He does have set ways and often firm ideas and he could sometimes find himself at odds with others as a result. The Rooster year does require him to tread carefully.
This particularly applies to his work. Although the Dog will continue to set about his activities with commitment and verve, he does need to be aware of prevailing attitudes as well as adapt to any changes that may be introduced.
This is not a year for digging his heels in or appearing too inflexible. However, while there is this need for care, the Dog can still do himself a lot of good. Whenever there is an opportunity for him to further his experience, whether through training, taking on other duties or covering for colleagues, he should make the most of it. Not only will it be helpful now but it could also open up possibilities for the future.
For those Dogs who are seeking work or keen to change the type of work they do, this will be a significant year. Although obtaining a new position will not be easy and many will face disappointments in their quest, with persistence, they may well secure what can prove to be an important position. In some cases this will be very different from what they have done before, but it will give them a good chance to extend their skills as well as discover new strengths. Again, what is accomplished this year can be important in the longer term. March, May, August and October could see some interesting work developments.
This will also be a good year for the Dog to further his personal interests, and whether developing existing interests or taking up new ones, he will again find what he does satisfying and beneficial. Activities which allow the Dog to draw on his ideas and express himself in some way could be especially pleasurable, while Dogs with musical interests (and many Dogs do have a good ear for music) will find this an excellent year to further their talents.
