Career

There are many obstacles and arguments in the workplace this year. Other than working quietly, Dogs must try to interact well with others. Remember to defend but not attack. Financial luck is also poor this year. It's not a good time to be greedy or ambitious.



Successful months are: Lunar March (April 16-May 14), April (May 15-June 13), September (Oct 9-Nov 7) and December.



The months with most work obstacles are: Lunar February (March 17-April 15), May, August (Sept 30-Oct 8) and October (Nov 8-Dec 6).



Education

It's hard to concentrate on studies. Dogs will be distracted by other things and they're grades will slip. They should also keep a low profile so they don't attract bullies. Dogs should also be careful of safety during activities outside of class.

Health

Nothing too drastic happens to Dogs' health in 2018. They should rest well to prevent fatigue and exhaustion. Other than that, Dogs should be careful of sharp objects, especially in June. They should also take care of their family's safety.



Healthy months are: Lunar March (April 16-May 14), June (July 13-August 10) and September (Oct 9-Nov 7).



Months where Dogs must be careful with their health are: Lunar January (Feb 16-March 16), April (May 15-June 13) and October (Nov 8-Dec 6).



Relationships

The social life this year will be full of headaches. There are arguments both at home and outside. Dogs must communicate and resolve conflicts. Otherwise, they may find themselves alone by the end of the year.



The sweet months are: Lunar March (April 16-May 14), September (Oct 9-Nov 7) and December (Jan 6-Feb 4, 2019).



Months where relationship problems will easily occur are: Lunar February (March 17-April 15), June (July 13-August 10), July (August 11-Sept 9) and August (Sept 30-Oct 8).



Lifestyle

The directions of fortune and wealth for Dogs this year are the southeast, southwest and north. It would be the best to put the bed, worktable and sofa in these positions of the room. To avoid bad luck, do not put important furniture in the south and east.



Lucky numbers that will open the road to wealth are 4 and 6.



The lucky colors in 2018 are yellow, red and orange. Decorating the home or wearing these colors will help greatly with changing luck for the better. Colors to avoid are green and gray.



Overall, this is a year that Dogs must get through.



It's the Chinese tradition to wear red underwear every day during their zodiac year. Dogs can try this to ward off the bad luck.



Once past this year, Dogs can continue on their steady and quiet road to happiness.

Quote from: "iron horse jockey"Last year was my Chinese zodiac.




How do you figure this??, I checkd my birth year animal (Rabbit) is there a different animal each year or do I wait like roulette till my animal resurfaces? I know I could google and hear some legend about its origin and folklore I would find contrived due to my ignorance of Asian culture but I'd rather hear it from the iron horses mouth



edit: or anyone but Odie whose got a grasp.. I mean is there a daily horoscope??

Last year was the year of the rooster. There are twelve animals and they keep rotating. Last year was my year.  You have to wait until 2023.

I heard Canada has accepted a bunch of dogs from South Korea.  They were rescued from a puppy mill there, and the dogs were simply there to feed the Korean people.  Koreans don't eat dogs because they have to.  They want to eat them.



South Korean's think that Dog gives them strength.  They don't eat it because they have to, or need to...  It's purely cultural.

Of course they don't need to, South Korea is a very rich country..



Most people that eat dog  are older males..



Taiwan outlawed dogs for human consumption.

That's what they said...  It was just cultural bullshit with the older people that think they get 'strength' from eating it.



Why are you Asians so keen to keep old practices alive, Fash?  I eat meat, but I don't believe one meat or certain part will give me strength, because I know better.



Why do your people do it?

East Asians love their pets just as much as any Brits do.

We've had a thing going on here in Australia for decades not just with dogs but any male mammal.



Their penises are highly prized but there is a pecking order with our Asian immigrants (or is it a pecker order?)



Dogs are at the bottom and few but some of the Koreans bother with them. At the top are exotic animals like tigers and lions but those have to be smuggled in. In between, deer, roo, and a few others command a price at some of the tobacco and mixed grocery stores.



They boil them until it disintegrates and drink the broth after skimming. Everyone from Mainland Chinese down through Southeast Asia. It's a thing. Only men do it though. They believe it brings them vitality, down there.

What is there to tell Mel..



East Asian culture is changing rapidly due to affluence..



Some old culinary traditions still exist, but then again France still allows the consumption of fois gras and horse meat..



I believe the practice of eating dog in South Korea will not need to be outlawed like Taiwan did because the  people who consume it will have died of old age..

Last year was the year of the rooster. There are twelve animals and they keep rotating. Last year was my year.  You have to wait until 2023.




Found out its year of the Earth Dog this year, last Earth Dog was 1953 .. So I'm just not rabbit I'm Wood Rabbit and my animal only comes around every 60 years so I'll have to wait till 2035
