In this connection is the year of the Dog celebrated? What years and why have such a name? It is believed that before completing earthly life, the Buddha called various animals to himself. First, a buffalo and a tiger came to his call, which in eastern symbolism are very strong and worthy beasts, then nine more appeared. At the last moment, a rat came, ran along the backs of animals and informed the Buddha that she was the first. For such "impudence" the twelve-year cycle of the eastern horoscope of animals begins precisely with it.
Each beast in this cycle "rules" twelve months, there is also the year of the Dog. What years from the foreseeable past are under the auspices of this animal? You can start from 1910, then follows 1922, 1934. Some of our parents were born in 1946 or 1958, which were also the years of the Dog. I must say that, according to Eastern beliefs, this creature is very respected. It represents the masculine beginning of Yang and helps get rid of evil spirits in the house.
People born under such a sign are very caring and loyal, they cherish their loved ones, without losing vigilance and not knowing rest. Rejection of injustice, modesty, willingness to give the last to the needy - these are the qualities that distinguish the Dogs born in the year. What years still belong to this sign? If your children were born in 1994 or 2006, then you can count on the presence of the aforementioned character traits.
Many great people were born in the year of the Dog. Which years were especially generous with talent? For example, Elvis Presley's patron was precisely the Dog, although he was born not in 1934, but in early 1935. This is due to the fact that the year according to this horoscope begins on the second full moon after December 22. In 1934, Bridget Bordeaux, Sophia Loren and Yuri Gagarin were born. And the year 1958 pleased the birth of future world stars: Madonna and Michael Jackson.
Perhaps such qualities of the Dog as an exceptional “flair” for people, personal charm, the ability to concentrate on goals and reach the heights in narrow specialization formed the prerequisites for outstanding achievements. Let's also say that Winston Churchill, Sophia Kovalevskaya, Nikolai Gumilev, Voltaire, Berdyaev and other celebrities were Dogs according to the eastern horoscope.
Under the "patronage" of this animal is 1982. What color dog was this period? The fact is that, in addition to twelve animals, five elements are presented in the horoscope, which are repeated for each sign after sixty years (earth, water, wood, metal, fire). In 1982, there is water, so this period of time is called the year of the Water Dog.
But the “metal" element is those whose date of birth fell on 1970. What kind of “dog” would those who live next to such people do not want to see? First of all, very serious and limited, due to the sign of the year. “Metal dogs” should strive to be more calm, sociable, with a broad outlook. It’s better to educate such qualities in spite of all horoscopes, which will bring additional happiness and peace of mind.
