18-07 2018 YEAR OF THE DOG
Sara Troy with her Sara’s View of Life, on air from February 13th
Long ago and still to this day, the Chinese use the Lunar cycle to follow time. The first cycle was introduced in the year 2637 B.C. A complete lunar cycle is 60 years and is made up of 12 cycles. Where the animal signs come in, is when Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to his kingdom so as to say goodbye to him before he departed from this earth. Only twelve showed up and to show his appreciation he named a year after them in order of its arrival. Every twelve years the sign repeats itself and you start all over again. Look at the signs year dates bearing in mind that Chinese New Year is different every year, mid-Jan-mid Feb and find out which is your sign by going through 12-year increments from your birth year.
CHINESE NEW YEAR FEBRUARY 16TH
The Chinese Horoscope 2018 predicts that this year of the Brown Earth Dog is going to be a good year in all respects, but it will also be an exhausting year. You will be happy, yet frustrated, rested, yet tired, cheerful, yet dull!
Indeed, Chinese Zodiac 2018 energies are dominated by the Earth element in its Yang form. It’s an eventful year, marked by security concerns and the rise of social conservative movements within society.
According to KarmaWeather’s 2018 Chinese horoscope, many voices around the world rise to highlight the importance of the universal values of dialogue and solidarity, which are characteristic values of the Chinese zodiac sign of the Dog. Selfishness, greed and ignorance being a major source of inequalities on Earth, only a social and cultural impulse, at the individual and collective level, can give a new hope to the millions of people in the world who are still suffering from neglect, indifference and the rejection from their community.
LIFESTYLE AND HEALTH
According to the Chinese horoscope 2018, the Year of the Earth Dog 2018 is a good time for lifestyle changes (time to quit smoking or change residence) and for the start of new business ventures.
However, it’s also expected that some of us shall experience short periods of loneliness or transient melancholy, which should, however, nourish the most sensitive and most creative minds amongst us. For others, these moments can result in a flutter in the implementation of their life plans, which will then be delayed until the following year.
Planning, postponing and negligence are words you will need to remove from your vocabulary during this year.
Refreshed and regenerated, the Dog will accelerate the initiation of all things, but this will bring, in the same time, pressure and stress in the everyday life.
According to Chinese astrology, 2018 is a very good year regarding the financial aspects, but a little difficult from a health point of view. Actually, in the year of the dog, all zodiac signs will want to pay special attention to their health. The year 2018 is the ideal time to start eating healthy, doing sports and getting rid of bad habits.

The steadfast Pig (2019) is, of all the signs, one of honesty and of real genuine person. The pig is the ultimate diplomat, balancing both sides and keeping the peace. The pig is those people that make everything happen with ease so as you do not notice it even happening
Having had experiences with all of the signs, I have to say there is a lot in it. We take on the characters of the animals and unknowingly become them. I also believe that the “True Colours”, Zodiac and ‘numerology” plays a big part in it too. The Chinese take this all very seriously. This year, February 16TH is Chinese New Year’s Eve, and it is welcomed with feasting and socialization. There are parades, and the Dragons and the Lions performing for money, reflecting the old times when they used to give protection money to the gods for said protection. Not much has changed there, except that it is done far more aggressively now.
Chinese Zodiac Chart (1900-2103): This chart shows the order of Chinese Zodiac Years. The years in the table are the years which the Chinese year starts. If you were born before the Chinese new year in the year you were born, your animal would be the previous year’s animal. Use the calculator above to determine what Chinese zodiac you are, or use the table below.
