2009 Forecast for The Pig

Snowball — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:57:12 +0000

Very often, you felt like giving up last year as misfortunes struck you one after another. If there is any consolation, your luck cycle will be slightly better in the year of Ox. Although it’s only a slight improvement, do not be dishearten instead continue to strive on and brace yourself for better luck in 2010. There are strong indications of movement which means there is a possibility of relocating (e.g. at best, change of doggie daycare or moving to a new home) or frequent travel either for business or leisure (e.g. weekend sleepover at owner’s boyfriend or girlfriend’s place). Physically, you do okay. Mentally, you are constantly restless and have trouble feeling settled as it could be due to upheavals in your relationship area.

Career: There is neither extremely good nor bad luck in your career this year. As stated, there’s high possibility of traveling and relocating. You are also likely to switch jobs or even career. Do so if you feel there isn’t any prospect in your current job or have multiple skills that allow you to adjust to new work environment easily (e.g. from showdog to dancing dog to working dog). For what it’s worth, you might reap rewards (not necessary in monetary sense) for making that switch. Remember your personalities rule your destiny. So stay true to your Pig personalities such as being modest, humble, and optimistic. Dogs in training programs, you might want to consider taking a break if there’s too much pressure. However, you must work hard after the rest.

Wealth: Fluctuations are huge in profits this year however you have to be mindful with your investment such as not to invest beyond your means. Do not splurge, when in making decision concerning finances, as a mean of relieving stress. For example, you might want to consider digging the correct number of holes to hide your newly acquired possessions instead of digging for the sick of digging. Be vigilance, continue to work hard, and avoid hoarding. If you could establish an easygoing attitude on monetary issues or assets for that matter, everything will turn out all right.

Romance: With the hectic year ahead, you often feel irritable and stressed out in regards to relationship particularly with loved ones. Married pig-canines will face more tension as there are conflicting interests and constant frights over trivial matters such as who gets the first kiss from owner. For single-canines who are seeking, the possibility of falling in love will be slime. If any, avoid long-distance romance as it requires great amount of attention on your part which unfortunately you don’t seem to have much to spare.

Health: When you do not manage your relationship—be it in romance or business—well, you’ll often feel burn out as such that it affects your physical and mental health. Take frequent short trips to tranquil places (e.g. countryside walks) especially for city pooches. A slower pace will help to get your mind off the things (i.e. trivial matters) that bother you and hopefully it will help you feel well adjusted once you resume to your regular lifestyle. As much as possible avoid visiting the sick (e.g. animal and human hospitals) and the dead (e.g. attending funerals).

2009 Forecast for The Dog

Snowball — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 00:55:15 +0000

Bid farewell to the unstable 2008 for the year of Ox is a good year for the faithful and honest Dog as many lucky stars shine in your favor. Career (e.g. exhibit show-dog, stud-service dog), wealth (e.g. toys, treats) and business opportunities (e.g. featured in AFV) will open up which could boost your financial status (e.g. winning the $10,000 in AFV). Although there’s no unlucky star hovering around you this year, you still need to walk your path with caution, mindfulness, and wisdom. Be on constant lookout for suspicious beings and circumstances especially while your human family is asleep. Face any challenges with a positive mindset. Be peace loving in all situations for harmony brings success and prosperity.

Career: Avoid changing job this year. You will perform better if you stay put as you will receive generous assistance from many benefactors—there’s a possibility of multiply promotions and salary increment. Communicate more with others and be impeccable with your bark (e.g. alert owner with two courteous barks when guest arrived). Make prompt and timely decision to gain yourself a head start (e.g. if an overcast is sighted before a walk, remind owner to bring along the trench coats).

Wealth: Your wealth luck is abundant; however, you must employ consistent tactics in your dealings in order to garner more profits. Supposedly you’re affluence in flipping properties (e.g. ransack garbage food) and have made good money in doing so but this year you want to try your paws on remodeling home for profit (e.g. food in fridge). Nevertheless, you will have gains but not as much as to sticking with what works best for you in the past—garbage food may not be appealing but it satisfies your midnight hunger than trying to open the Tupperware in the fridge or cookie jar. Whichever you fancy, don’t be greedy; plenty of opportunities await you.

Romance: Love is in the air whether you are single or married. For poochelors or poochelorettes, you will find your true love this year and maybe tie the knot if your human companion have the time and space for another furball! Married canines will find many opportunities to rekindle old flames. Even though you’re blessed with love potion (i.e. more lovable or attractive), you still have work on your relationship to make it better and not take your partner for granted. You could avoid falling into temptation by opting for a fix—neutering or spraying.

Health: Although many things moving according to plans, you practically have little to no stress in life. Mental health wise this is good, however, in many occasions you tend to feel lonely—crowds or no crowds or emotionally detached (e.g. no interest in repossessing your marked territories). Your antidote is to take time off from your daily routines (e.g. fetching morning papers) and venture to new places to stimulate your senses of smell (this is vital for dogs) and sight. Change of pace and place periodically will help you socialize better.

2009 Forecast for The Rooster

Snowball — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 01:28:28 +0000

The good luck you had last year will continue into the Year of the Ox. However 2009 will still be fraught with uncertainties. Fortunately, you have many benefactors (both four- and two-legged beings) guiding you during trying times. Do remember that their job is to provide you guidance. Success or failure will depend on your decision. Nevertheless, the Rooster should strive for more good fortune themselves instead of following the flock.

Be safety conscious always.

Career: You will notice a significant progress in your career such as salary increment (e.g. more food treats), promotion (i.e. ranking status), and over-of-state assignments. Take this opportunity to further your education (e.g. do advance obedience course once graduated from puppy kindergarten) after all you’ve study luck this year. Diligent student-canines (i.e. pay attention in class, remember and obey commands always) can expect to excel in their training programs.

Wealth: Profits will be abundant as the “wealth vault opens widely” for you this year. That if you have a complete set of money making schemes. In order to succeed in your investment, you must put your knowledge into practice—remember those commands and tricks you learned in training school. Trust your instinct more often; be energetic and ready to seize the opportunities. Do what roosters do well: early bird catches the worms. That’s your motto.

Romance: There will be some minor hiccups in your romance luck this year. Fear not for those canines on a committed relationship because you won’t be ditched if you stay faithful, truthful, and affectionate to your pooch-mate. If you are serious about the relationship and intent to wed, it’s best to go for a few short vacations to rekindle the romance (e.g. places where you two lovedogs first met). For single-canines, keep sniffing and mark your scent wide and high. Don’t give up.

Health: This busy year may wear you out easily but don’t overwork yourself to the point of exhaustion. Take adequate rest and exercise regularly. You are highly accident prone this year so pay particular attention to safety be it at home or traveling. Do not engage in extreme sports which involve in speed (e.g. chasing moving cars) and height (e.g. climbing over a 6ft tall fence). Also limit your water activities, wear life jacket and if possible have your human companion keep a close watch on you while you swim (yes, even in your own swimming pool).

2009 Forecast for The Goat

Snowball — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 03:04:00 +0000

All the stars may have been in your favor last year, but astrologers predict it will be a difficult 2009. That’s because the Goat zodiac is in clash with Tai Sui, this in turn brings misfortune in areas like career (e.g. no new doggy advertisement contacts or being demoted), wealth (e.g. demoted equals no extra privileges—toys and treats), and canine and human relationship (e.g. bickering). On the positive side, there is a helpful star in your career to moderate the ups and downs. Just stay patient and look forward for a better year in 2010.

Career: This year, you will be easily harmed by villains (i.e. four- and two-legged bullies). In order to overcome your obstacles in your career you must learn to adapt to changes and take concession to avoid troubles. Suppose your human companion’s boyfriend comes over every weekend for sleepover causing you to have interrupted rest at night, what you could do is to sleep on the sofa instead of your cushy bed in the master bedroom. Remember, this too shall pass. You will receive help from influential people and turn bad fortunes into good ones.

Wealth: Financially, wealth luck is down. It’s not a good year to do any investment. If possible, avoid all risky financial undertaking such as taking loans (e.g. borrowing toys from neighbor’s dog) or act as guarantors for others (e.g. protecting your buddy’s territories—fire hydrant). Your financial keywords this year are LESS and CONSERVATIVE. Invest and spend less. Mull over issues thrice before coming to a decision. Take all forthcoming gains and losses in your stride. You must continue to learn and accumulate your wealth—the excess gains you made last year.

Romance: Romantically speaking, there’s nothing much happening for you this year be it for singles or married-canines. What you should strive for in your relationship with your partner is to maintain open communication and harmony at all times. Do not let your financial and career woes to cause you to lose temper and make nasty remarks about your spouse which is so in contrast to your usual nature. To get through this year lovingly, calm and temperance is key.

Health: Average health this year. Simply put, you won’t have any major illnesses but you might encounter a few small accidents if you aren’t vigilant. Be careful when using sharp objects (e.g. refrain from playing worn-out toys or chews) and walking on higher grounds or jumping (e.g. on or off sofa). Fellow canines, especially senior dogs, remember to take your medications (if any) and supplement promptly, and don’t postpone your annual checkup with your vet.

2009 Forecast for The Horse

Snowball — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 07:25:33 +0000

After “riding on a choppy terrain” in 2008, this coming year will bring some relief for the independent Horse but not entirely smooth sailing. When comes to decision making, consider all options before taking the plunge. There is “great potential” to do well in your career (i.e. from pooch potato to neighborhood Alpha dog) and even garner more wealth (e.g. given extra bedding for your hard day’s work). As long as you can sustain perseverance on your goals, there’s a better future. Word of caution: do not indulge in illicit activities (i.e. terrorizing new pups or romanticizing your buddy’s mate). There are sneaky canines out to sabotage you so avoid gossip gathering (e.g. relentless butt-sniffing) and stay neutral in unfamiliar settings. Engage more in outdoor activities to manage your stress.

Career: Although the current is smoother now, you still need to continue with your work etiquette (i.e. put your early trainings to good use—stop soiling indoors or going on insect hunting spree). It will be a social year for the already popular Horse so spend more time build up new network and work to improve existing relationship with business associates and canine-colleagues. There will be benefactors, both canine and human, coming in to aid you in your career. For those canines taking training programs (e.g. agility, flyball, guide dog) to advance their career, this is the best year to do so. You will pass with flying colors and advance quickly.

Wealth: Your benefactors will help you to attain success on the career front, bringing in abundant wealth especially in financial and property areas. Considering all options you must, but your decision have to be decisive because repeated changes show you lack of professionalism (e.g. resulting confusion among peers) and might cause failures (e.g. affect the cooperation ties in the pack). Although wealth is abundant but it comes just as easily as it vanishes. Hence you must plan carefully otherwise you have a tendency to overspend due to your need for extravagant lifestyle.

Romance: A social year for the already popular Horse and things will look up romantically. However do not overindulge in your love life and sexual conquest (i.e. on a constant love or mating pursuit and neglect your life mission—show and teach unconditional love to all mankind). Attached and married canines beware of third party interference. Avoid straying either. Be contented with what you’ve got because que sera sera.

Health: It is very important to have more rest despite your busy schedule. Without sufficient hours of sleep, you will be unable to have a clear mind. In turn, you might make wrong business decisions. Avoid indulging in carbonated drinks (quit stealing foods from your human companion’s fridge) and secret rendezvous to manage your work stress. It is better to engage in outdoor exercises to strengthen your physique in order to cope with your busy work and social life.

2009 Forecast for The Dragon

Snowball — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:06:59 +0000

2009 will be smoother and better for the Dragons as compare to last year. You’re blessed with Tai Yin (symbolizes femininity, wealth, nocturnal) star this year. Hence female dragons will experience better luck than the male dragon-canines. Regardless, all dragons will receive the tremendously help from female counterparts in their career and wealth areas. For those dogs taking up training programs (e.g obedience class) will do well and pass with flying colors this year. However, you must watch out for mean canine and human as you are prone to fall into their traps. To prevent unnecessary problems avoid avarice and lust. Do not fight force with force, overcome it with tenderness.

Career: With such a favorable star in authority, you would want to seek help from your benefactors to grow your business or career as they are extremely helpful this year. There is a possibility of switching career (e.g. being rescued from puppymill) and it may be an out of state assignment (e.g. from breeding dog to companion dog). Whatever predicament you are in, treat every canine and human with kindness as this is your ticket to freedom. If you don’t take heed and misbehave, you will fall into your own trap.

Wealth: Dragons are flamboyant creatures by nature. For example, some dragon-canines love to draw attention to themselves wherever they go either doing clever tricks or just being adorable. To retain your already established wealth (assets), you must cautiously guard against living beyond your means and as much as possible avoid borrowing from Fido to pay Rover. If you wish to increase conventional wealth or windfall, be scrupulous with your dealings. You will experience better luck or an increase in wealth (e.g. more treats) during night hours.

Romance: In love, single females will have greater opportunities to meet their soul canine mate than single males. Those who plan to settle down; this year will be a blissful time to do so. As for married canines wanting to set up a family, the possibility is high as there is offspring luck this year. Having said, good family planning (i.e. when your human companion is absolute certain to find good homes for the pups) should come first.

Health: It is important for you to maintain your exercise regime in spite of your new busy lifestyle. Otherwise, you may not have the stamina to oversea everything your work encompasses. Do not allow setbacks to affect your health. Do take care of your internal organs especially your digestive systems. Do not to gobble your food and eat less fatty (e.g jerky treats) snacks. Remember to be extra conscious over safety be it indoor or outdoor activities.

2009 Forecast for The Snake

Snowball — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 00:55:35 +0000

The Year of the Ox will not be fantastic for The Snake, however, it will be a balanced year. Given the fluctuations of an overall turbulent year, this is good news. To harness more good luck, do minor home renovations (e.g. fix the leaky roof on your dog house) or move to new home (of course, you still need to pick an auspicious date and fengshui your new place before the move) may do the trick. What you must avoid is not to be high-strung in all dealings. Stay away from gossip as it might back fire. Respect law and order to avoid litigation.

There might not be many butts or scents to sniff in the parks or streets, you still want to make good impression when doing your rounds. Although family lifestyle is sound and stable, you can’t complain of having too much of harmony by practicing more tolerance, trust, and respect among married canines. Family (including human) support is very important to you at this time.

2009 Forecast for The Rabbit

Snowball — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 08:54:28 +0000

Your luck in 2009 will fluctuates wildly. As to the amount of good luck you will reap will depend on the consequence of your attitude of the previous year. For instance, if you did charity work (i.e. a watchdog for community) or practiced good deeds (i.e. make new pups feel welcomed in dog parks) last year, you might be able to reap the rewards this year. However, this good luck may come with some hidden danger such as villains will try to harm you secretly making your endeavors more challenging than they already are. Instead of lamenting or turn aggressive towards them, conserve that energy and work for a better comeback.

Career: For you to achieve your career goal (i.e. rank hierarchy) this year, you have to rely heavily on your own effort as there isn’t any lucky star shinning upon you. However, you can lighten up the load by continuing your charity work (e.g babysit your neighbor’s kitten) last year. This is to turn your bad luck into good luck and to strengthen it attend more joyous events (e.g. human or canine wedding ceremony or puppy shower).

Wealth: It might be difficult year to increase your conventional wealth (e.g. having more variety of foods or activities) but windfall will render help whenever sign of boredom surfaces (e.g your human companion will occasionally cook some interesting dishes to satisfy your taste buds or venture to new parks). Having said, you have to exercise some control and not misuse it whenever your mood strikes otherwise you’ll suffer bad consequences such as being scammed or robbed or met with accident. Always exercise good judgment and do your due diligence.

Romance: Singles who had enjoyed a flirtatious lifestyle in 2008, take heart for 2009 would be a lonely year for you. If you found that special someone, it’s time to settle down. And for those who had indulged in an occasional fling or two last year, don’t repeat it this year for you might not get away with it this time. Most importantly avoid meddling other people’s affair.

Health: Take extra care of your health. Go for longer slow walk and take more afternoon nap especially senior dogs. You will experience frequent unstable emotion, so watch where you venture. If possible, avoid vigorous activities such as flyball, agility, or hunting game to prevent potential accident or injury from happening. Besides these, do not stick your head out in moving vehicle and do not jump into pond to fetch stick or catch fish (wear life jacket always).

2009 Forecast for The Tiger

Snowball — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 06:02:33 +0000

You are very blessed this year as there are a few lucky stars shinning upon you. A smooth-going Ox year for the Tiger-canines. In terms of increasing wealth, career advancement, romance and procreation, and good health, you have them all. One word of warning, stay very far away from mean and duplicitous people and canines as many will flood to you like bees to honey. They are out to rob you in any imaginable possessions you have such as stealing your food, mate, toys, or your human companion’s love for you. Stay alert always.

Career: A very fruitful career year. Your social status will advance rapidly (i.e. 3rd rank to Alpha status) upon receiving help from male benefactors (i.e. male human companion). You’ll also be given greater responsibilities (e.g. therapy dog: from caring for the aged to cancer patient) but not necessarily an increase in food treat or tummy rub. Fret not, your hard work will be well recognized and probably receive an award for your Samaritan spirit. Take this opportunity to build your PR and networking contacts for they will come in handy during unfavorable times. As said above, don’t trust any canine (especially females if you’re a male) or human too easily.

Wealth: This year, you’ll experience favorable money luck in both conventional wealth and windfall. Do long term investments as profits from these investments will be abundant. Do not flaunt your wealth or loan to others even if you have extras to spare. Save as much as you can but don’t hoard. Due to your good fortune, inevitably, you will easily arouse jealousy and attract robber’s attention. Take care of your belongings (including your human companion’s). Be vigilant and guard your home 24/7. Install home security system if your human companion hasn’t done so already.

Romance: Single canines can expect to find that special someone this year. It’s also a good year to tie the knot for those who have been in a steady canine relationship. And for the married ones, do not get yourself tangled in extramarital affairs especially the males. Stay away from lust and don’t wander off. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. As for stud dogs, do what needs to be done and walk away immediately after.

Health: With so many things going smoothly, you tend to be more optimistic which is good for your mental and physical health. But an overjoyed mood causes you to be unable to control your lifestyle and indulge in treats that are too rich for your health. You might want to watch your waistline, cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Great wealth can buy you premium dog food and treats but can’t buy your health. So eat anything with moderation.
