According to traditional Chinese astrology, individuals born under the signs of the Dragon, Rooster, Ox, and Goat may not be the most compatible with dog ownership. It's believed that these zodiac signs clash with the energy of dogs, potentially leading to negative mutual influences and even impacting the owner's luck. Additionally, individuals with an excess of the fire element in their astrological charts are also advised to reconsider owning a dog, as this is thought to negatively affect their overall fortune.
Dogs are often considered man's best friend, offering unwavering loyalty and companionship. It's no surprise that many people are drawn to the joys of pet ownership. While some individuals find seamless harmony with their canine companions, providing them with excellent care and creating a strong bond, others experience a different reality. Some pet owners struggle with maintaining their dogs and may even find their own lives negatively impacted by the addition of a pet.
Specifically, individuals born in the years of the Dragon, Rooster, Ox, and Goat are often considered unsuitable for dog ownership due to zodiac clashes. In Chinese astrology, the Dog is in conflict with the Dragon, harmful to the Rooster, and is in a penal relationship with the Ox and the Goat. While these relationships may not manifest visibly as overt problems, they can create subtle but significant issues of clashing energy, leading to mutual negative influences between the owner and the pet. The connection goes deeper than just the pet and owner relationship, impacting each other's energy on a deeper level.
Furthermore, people with an overabundance of the fire element in their birth chart should exercise caution before bringing a dog home. In traditional Chinese thought, the energy of a dog is linked to the owner's energy, especially considering the northwest sector of the home (called Tianmen or heaven's gate), which is believed to be the dog's intrinsic location and represents the head of household. Maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of this location, which represents the patriarch or matriarch, is crucial for both the dog’s well-being and the owner’s fortune. Therefore, Feng Shui practitioners recommend keeping the northwest area of the home tidy and complete to ensure that the harmonious relationship between the owner and the dog is maintained, and also ensures a more prosperous life.
