This is the year 4703 in the
Traditional Chinese Calendar.
EXPECTED ASPECTS OF THE YEAR OF THE FIRE DOG
Beginning on the 4th February 2006, the year of the Fire Dog will be strongly
influenced by Fire and Earth elements. These two elements represent the cycle of
birth and destruction, which governs the inter-relationship between the
elements; Fire will give birth to Earth. Fire sitting on Earth is a symbol of
support and harmony, and this may bring a relatively more peaceful year with
less international conflicts than in the past few years. The Yang Fire in the
year of the Fire Dog is similar to the Sun sitting on top of the Earth element.
The Yang Fire is a symbol of big Fire, and the Earth Dog is a symbol of the
storage of Fire. This element will influence more openness, optimism, warmth,
politeness and care. As such, it is anticipated that there will be more open and
honest peace talks and settlements leading to a more harmonious atmosphere,
which the world has been lacking for many years. The Earth element will
represent the Dog, and has the implication of the “Gate of Hell” and “storage of
Fire”. This character often carries spiritual and religious implications. As
such, in the year 2006 the focus will be on seeking spiritual meaning and
answers, and more people will be drawn to religious events and discussions.
Anyone who is born in the years of the Dragon, Ox or Goat/Sheep will clash with
the Dog. Therefore people born in such years have to be particularly careful in
2006. The Dragon, Ox and Goat/Sheep also represent the Earth element. This means
we will be having Earth clashing against Earth. The danger is that it could be
associated with Earth disasters such as landslide and collapse of buildings or
Earthquakes. Beware, those born in the year of Dragon, Ox and Goat/Sheep, of
going too close to massive Earth areas such as mountains or desserts,
particularly during the months of April, July, October and January 2007. I would
recommend that anyone born in the year of Dragon, Ox or Goat/Sheep, wear or
carry a pendant of a Rabbit which will help to minimize the negative influences
of the year of the Dog. Anyhow, people who are born in the year of Dragon will
experience a more turbulent year with moving, traveling, and changes. It is
suitable to engage in such movements, such as moving house or moving offices.
Anyone born in the year of Dragon, traveling is also good but you should avoid
traveling to places the Northwest direction of where you live.
More spiritual activities and strange happenings will occur in the year of the
Dog. There will be hidden danger representing health problems such as serious
cancer problems, for anyone born in the year of Dragon, Ox and Goat/Sheep, and a
necessity to take precautions such as taking anti-oxidants, quitting smoking and
drinking alcohol.
The Five basic elements represent different parts of our body. Fire in general
relates to blood circulation and the heart, and Yang Fire also represents the
shoulder area. Therefore in 2006 more people will complain of shoulder pains.
The Earth element is the symbol of stomach or spleen, muscles and cells.
Therefore strong Earth years will bring cancer problem. The combination of Fire
and Earth will destroy the water element. As such, it will also create health
problems such as kidney failure. It is necessary to take more fresh fruit and
vegetables, vitamin C, omega 3 oil etc, this year to enhance the water aspect.
The configuration of Fire and Earth will bring dry weather, and the lack of
water will cause dryness of hair and many people will experience faster loss of
hair in this year.
In summary, the industries that will perform well in the year of the Dog will be
industries related to Wood and Fire elements – such as energy, electricity,
finance, stock market, textile, fashion, paper and publications. On the other
hand, industries relating to Earth and Metal will not be doing so well. Earth
industries include mining, chemicals, property, hotel, and metal industries are
cars, heavy industries, iron and steel, and hi-tech and internet related
business. The Water industries – such as shipping, drinks, communication, etc.,
are in for a year with some superficial prosperity, but not substantial.
For people born in the Year of Dog, the year 2006 is offending the Grand Duke
and is also considered not favourable. As such, people born in years of Earth
animal signs – the Dragon, the Dog, the Ox, and the Goat/Sheep all have to take
precautions in 2006, and the minimum preventive measure is to carry a pendant of
the Rabbit to attract the Dog away.
The animals combining with the Dog Year are the Rabbit, the Tiger, and the
Horse. These animals are into a year of harmony.
With the Year of the Dog starting on the 4th February 2006, the energies of bad
luck and sickness will be found in the South-East and West direction of your
home. Therefore, it is necessary to put into place the Feng Shui cures to combat
the bad energies before the 20th January 2006. In the Year of the Dog, the bad
energy called “Five Yellow” – symbolizing obstacles and misfortune, arrives at
the West. If your West of the house is an important area such as bedroom or
entrances, it is recommended to hang a 6 rod metal wind chime there to dissolve
this bad energy. The worst months will be in April, July, and September 2006.
Another Bad Star number 2, symbolizing sickness, will arrive in the Southeast in
the Year of the Dog. The cure to combat this bad energy of sickness is to hang a
string of six metal coins or a string of 6 brass bells in the affected area in
the Southeast of the house. The Grand Duke energy of lots of obstacles will be
found in the Northwest direction, this year. If your front door or back door
face the North-West direction, you will need to hang a concave mirror above the
doorway (not on the door), and the mirror will need to moved in 2007. It is not
advisable to do any Earth or construction work in the North-West direction, in
the Year of the Dog. I would not advise for anyone to sit with their back facing
the North; your back will absorb the bad energies of conflict and robbery called
bad star 3. It is necessary to put a piece of red paper in the Earth sector to
minimize such a bad influence.
To prevent scandal and gossip involving family or people sharing the house, you
will need to place 3 or 4 of bamboo plant grown in clear glass vase of water in
the South location.

In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Rat will need to be careful not
to drift away from people, causing loneness. The Rat needs to
turn this into a positive by making the most of the quiet time
to reflect, replenish and relax. The Rat does not connect very
well with the Fire Dog, so the rat can be resourceful in keeping
busy and making the most of what is ahead in 2006. Adjusting

people to listen to your new projects and ideas.

In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Ox will need to be careful when
associating with people born in the year of The Dog, and The
Goat/Sheep, as this can create terminal and great losses in
relationships and business. This is not going to be a very
successful year for any projects or relationships in the
pipeline. There will be times when loneness will appear, so make
the most of the time to relax and reflect. You need to take a
back seat on all situations going on in your life for the year
of 2006. This could be to your advantage as you may see things
of importance you would have missed in the past. Be very careful
about who you open up to and confide in, as they may start
disclosing your private feeling and ideas.

year than in the last two. This year will be progressive, and
more prosperous, and you could be recognized for projects you
have been planning for some time. This may well mean sudden
fame, recognition, or being the centre of attention. In your
moment of success, make sure to not put yourself out on a limb,
and don’t take your progress and success for granted, as they
might not last. This is a very good year for fun, so make sure
to enjoy yourself as you journey through the year of the Dog.

In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Rabbit will essentially have a
good year. This is the year you can meet new people, having lots of activities
on the go, and starting new projects. These new things could lead to new heights
in the future. Look at teaming up with anyone born in the Year of the Dog, as it
would be very lucky for the both of you. By planning wisely this year, next year
will be full of prosperity.

Feb 17, 2000 (metal)
Feb 5.
In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Dragon will be in for a year of
conflicts. Relationships may end, and new projects or
relationships could well be slow to take on. On a positive note
the endings of bad and abusive relationships will be a good
thing. It will be important to de-clutter every part of your
life and home, getting rid of the old this year to let the new
in next year. Don’t expect to have much control over anything
going on in your life this year, just let destiny unfold as
ordained, because you can’t change anything. Don’t stress, and
just go with the flow. Look at your inner-self, and adapt to
reap the benefits of the future. A word of warning; be careful
how you handle endings of different situations in your life, so
you don’t burn your bridges behind you, hurt people, or create
enemies.
The SNAKE (year starts)

Feb 14, 1965 (wood)
Feb 2, 1977 (fire)
Feb 18, 1989 (earth)
Feb 6, 2001 (metal)
Jan 24.
In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Snake will have to think about
everything going on in his or her life, as thing may not work
out as planned. The positive side of this is that you will see
things you may have missed if you rushed into new relationships
or projects which could have cost you dearly in emotions or
money. Go over the details of all changes with a fine tooth
comb, you may fine new opportunities or new direction in your
career which will bring success. Be every cautious about new
projects that seem too good to be true, as they could prove very
costly to you. Be careful about any new relationships this year
and don’t try to push any relationship too fast, as this will
create lots of heartache for you.
The HORSE (year starts)
1918 (earth) Feb 11, 1930 (metal)
Jan 30, 1942 (water)

Feb 3, 1966 (fire)
Jan 21, 1978 (earth)
Feb 7, 1990 (metal)
Jan 27, 2002 (water)
Feb 12.
In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Horse will reap the rewards of
hard work in the last year. You could finally receive the
promotion, acknowledgment and success for all your hard work.
Think deeply about how you handle your successes. Success is
really only worth-while if you share it round, you don’t want to
be left alone with the trappings of success as your only
companions. Don’t forget those who helped in your success, share
it with them. Associating with people born in the Year of the
Tiger or the Dog could prove very lucky for both of you. Beware
of how you handle every situation good or bad in different
partnership. There promises to be a great year ahead for you.
The GOAT (year starts)
1919 (earth) Feb 1, 1931 (metal)
Feb 17, 1943 (water)
Feb 5, 1955 (wood)
Jan 24, 1967 (fire)
Feb 9, 1979 (earth)
Jan 28, 1991 (metal)
Feb 15, 2003 (water)
Feb 1.
In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Goat will come across many
obstacles and false promises. People who you have expected great
things from will not live up to your expectations. Be careful
about sneaky people who are being deceitful behind your back. Be
on your guard and check all information carefully and trust your
instincts and don’t do anything you are not comfortable about.
Make sure you understand the whole story clearly before making
any decisions of importance and don’t let your mind be changed
by anyone else’s opinion, as this will cause serious problems
for you. Keep well clear of any get rich quick schemes as they
will cost you dearly. Don’t enter into any business dealings
with people born in the Year of the Dog, or the Ox. If you are
already working on projects with these people be careful, and if
problems arise, be quick to seek advice. The good news is that
next year will be a very good year. My advice; sit in the
background this year and don’t start anything new.
The MONKEY (year starts)
1920 (metal) Feb 20, 1932 (water)

Jan 30, 1980 (metal)
Feb 16, 1992 (water)
Feb 4, 2004 (wood)
Jan 22.
In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Monkey will have a more subdued
time than he is used to. This may well not be to your liking, as
you love the highs of energy that come with dealing with all the
drama in your life. In this laid-back year, be careful not to
get into situations of trouble and bad outcomes. Where
relationships are concerned, trouble and endings could happen if
you don’t take the time to handle the relationship with tender
loving care. Don’t burn any bridges because of your ego as you
will regret it. Trust your instincts about new or stable
relationships because troubled romance is all around this year.
You may need to up-date your romantic styles and opinions, if
you don’t, heartache may well follow. This is a year for you not
to delude yourself about anything important, especially in your
relationships, as this will spell disaster for you.
The ROOSTER (year starts)
1921 (metal) Feb 8, 1933 (water)
Jan 26, 1945 (wood)
Feb 13, 1957 (fire)
Jan 31, 1969 (earth)
Feb 17, 1981 (metal)
Feb 5, 1993 (water)
Jan 23.
In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Rooster will feel out of sorts
about many situations going on in life. Try practicing
controlling your temper, when things don’t work out your way, as
this may cause people, to gossip about you behind your back. Be
careful when voicing your negative opinions about your
colleagues or friends, as it may get back to them causing you
embarrassment and trouble. Be careful who you confide your
secrets and deepest wishes with, as some people could gossip
about you. Separations of troubled relationships could be on the
cards this year. Generally not a good year for you, think
positive and stay relaxed.
The DOG (year starts)
1922 (water) Jan 28, 1934 (wood)
Feb 14, 1946 (fire)
Feb 2, 1958 (earth)
Feb 18, 1970 (metal)
Feb 6, 1982 (water)
Jan 25, 1994 (wood)
Feb 10.
In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Dog has to be a little cautious
about the handling of life situations. Don’t be surprised if
obstacles appear in projects you have working very hard on, how
you handle these problems will be important to your reputation
and success as the result could stay with you in the future.
When promising time and things to other people make sure you can
deliver. Because you are a very loyal person don’t over-stretch
yourself trying to please other people. When entering business
deals and new projects try not to involve people born in the
Year of the Ox and the Goat/Sheep, as this will unlucky for you,
and be careful who you confide your business ideas with. People
born in the Year of the Tiger and the Snake will be lucky to
associate with in any area of your life. Throughout the year you
may feel all alone. This is a time to treat yourself, or enjoy
the quiet time, as you don’t get it very often. You may be
recognized for your contribution to different projects.
The PIG (year starts)
1923 (water) Feb 16, 1935 (wood)

Feb 13, 1995 (wood)
Jan 31.
In the Year of the Fire Dog, the Pig/Boar will be looking for an
exciting year, but not this year unfortunately. This is the year
where you need to sharpen the sword, and start to balance all
areas of your life. Starting with having more fun socializing
but remember not at the sacrifice your work ethics. You need to
be laying the path to the great year next year. So put your
plans for success into place to succeed in your year of the Pig/
Boar next year. Planning for the future is the key for this year
and having fun.
