Those born under the Eastern Zodiac sign of Dog are respectful, helpful, and sincere. Dogs are great listeners who are always there for those they care about. This is a very loyal and faithful sign and one who can be counted on to always have your back or keep your darkest secrets. Dogs are true humanitarians at heart. They long to see the world live up to their ideals and are easily upset by acts of injustice. It is true that Dogs care more about people than they do about money, power, or success.
One of Dog’s greatest strengths is being able to inspire confidence in other people. They are often the “rock” that stands when others can’t or won’t, always there to lend a helping hand.
For all of the responsibility that Dogs put on themselves it’s no surprise that they tend to get stressed out easily. Dogs are often anxious, restless, and worried. They feel the weight of the world on their backs and have trouble relaxing when so much is wrong with society. Dogs can get so obsessed with their idea of justice that they can become dogmatic and take things too seriously all of the time. This defensive, judgmental side of the Dog stems from giving too much of themselves. Dogs need to realize that they must take care of themselves first if they are going to have anything to offer others.
There are 12 Primal Zodiac signs for the Eastern Zodiac sign of Dog, one for each sign of the Western Zodiac. If you don’t know your Western Zodiac sign you can use this chart to find your Primal Zodiac sign, which contains both Eastern and Western signs.
Aquarius born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Aquarius are represented in Primal Astrology
by the Chameleon. The natural free-wheeling curiosity of Aquarius is
tempered here by the Dog’s tendency to worry about the details.
However, this is one of the most humanitarian and philanthropic of all
signs. Even if Chameleons need a lot of time to themselves they can
also make large strides in humanitarian ventures, though they must be
careful of becoming too dogmatic about their beliefs. You can read more

Dogs

Cancer born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Cancer are represented in Primal Astrology by
the Pit Bull. Pit Bulls are among the most loyal and dependable of all
Primal Zodiac signs. They are more likely than other Cancers to honor
tradition and follow the rules, but are less likely to feel self
confident outside of their comfort zone. These individuals are highly
protective of their loved ones and will often sacrifice their own
happiness for the happiness of others. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Pit Bull by clicking here.
Capricorn born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Capricorn are represented in Primal Astrology
by the Boxer. The Dog intensifies Capricorn’s existing loyalty,
helpfulness, and caring nature, but it also brings with it a tendency to
be overly emotional and anxious. Boxers are not the most socially
adept of Primal Zodiac signs but they are one of the most sincere. The
life of a Boxer is more about overcoming internal indecision and
inhibition than about finding external success, though in a perfect
scenario they could go hand in hand. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Boxer by clicking here.
Gemini born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Gemini are represented in Primal Astrology by
the Deer. Deers are friendly, loyal, and most of all, intensely curious.
They have no ill will in their poking around, but they do end up in
other people’s business often. The Dog brings a humanitarianism to the
often flighty Gemini, but it also brings a certain nervousness that when
combined with Gemini’s inherent restlessness can cause some individuals
to feel constantly on edge. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Deer by clicking here.
Leo born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Leo are represented in Primal Astrology by the
Shih Tzu. Shih Tzus are more traditional than other Leos and have a
strong sense of justice. They are, perhaps, the least socially adept of
all Leos but make up for it with unwavering loyalty. These individuals
are often anxious and can be emotionally unstable. They make excellent
friends, though, and the presence of the Dog lessens Leo’s tendency to
be a gossip. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Shih Tzu by clicking here.
Libra born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Libra are represented in Primal Astrology by
the Crane. Nobody cares about justice more than a Crane. While
diplomatic, honest, and caring on the outside, Cranes are often bored or
even irritated by the drudgery of real life and like to spend time
dreaming of a better future. Dog enhances Libra’s humanitarian nature
and sense of loyalty to friends and family, but also brings some
emotionally instability with it. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Crane by clicking here.
Pisces born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Pisces are represented in Primal Astrology by
the Tarsier. Tarsiers are honest, loyal, and intelligent. They are
strong humanitarians who believe in the greater good over the self.
However, the Dog only adds to Pisces’ emotional instability, and
together under stress Tarsiers can easily turn to escapism as a way of
evading the pressures of real life. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Tarsier by clicking here.
Sagittarius born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Sagittarius are represented in Primal
Astrology by the Golden Retriever. More loyal and sincere than other
Sagittariuses, they can also be anxious and defensive. The Dog enhances

brings with it an emotional instability that is largely foreign to
other Sagittariuses. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Golden Retriever by clicking here.
Scorpio born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Scorpio are represented in Primal Astrology by
the Octopus. The Dog eases up Scorpio’s skepticism about the human race

loners and like taking time to figure out how best to approach
challenges, but they are also prone to depression and escapism. You can

Taurus born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Taurus are represented in Primal Astrology by
the Seagull. With this combination, the Dog enhances Taurus’s faithful
sincerity and traditionalism, but also adds to its emotional
instability. Seagulls are social among their friends, but not so much
with strangers. They have a warmth and empathy to them that makes people
like them, though their fears can get them stuck playing a role they
should have shed a long time ago. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Seagull by clicking here.
Virgo born during the Year of the Dog...
Dogs
born during the cycle of Virgo are represented in Primal Astrology by
the Salamander. Salamanders are helpful, giving, faithful, and sincere.

be too sensitive for their own good. The Dog’s sweet but nervous energy
make Salamanders edgy, but the Dog’s warmth and empathy inspires
confidence in the self and in others. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Salamander by clicking here.
