The Year of the Sheep will be a demanding one for the Dog native. There are many busy times and you may find that you're not progressing as quickly as you'd like. Patience, my friend - think "long-term" benefits this year. Exercise care in problem areas to ease the difficulties that the year could bring. Add to your experience - don't take risks this year.
At work, show your willingness to work hard and be prepared to further yourself when the opportunity arises. The Sheep year is about "timing". Although it may be difficult, try not to show too much independence and stubbornness with colleagues. Guard your comments and don't gossip. You may come to regret words spoken in haste. To make headway this year, be tenacious and persistent (as if the Dog Native would do it any other way).
Devote this year to furthering yourself. Delve into hobbies. This will bring you pleasure and balance. Being practical and creative will make you happy.
This could be an expensive year, as there could be a move or major home renovations. Plan carefully. Special attention must be paid to all outlays of money. Don't make assumptions - be vigilant and keep your spending under control.
It will be a demanding and busy year with your family. Even though you want to run away and hide, don't cut yourself off from those close to you. Show affection and listen to the advice and opinions of others and all will be agreeable around you. Also, don't cut yourself off socially. Take time to have fun and it will help ease some of the tension of the year. Keep to small affairs, but if you're feeling up to it - go to a big party - just for a few minutes. Awww… go on! Socializing will bring balance, variety and pleasure to your life.
Although this year contains times of pressure and upheaval, his friends and family will still support the Dog.
Whatever you accomplish this year is for the long-term benefit, so make the most of opportunities that come your way.
