2024 Outlook
2023 was a “fiery” year for the Dog. On the positive side, the energies may have ignited passion, but also anger on the negative side. This year offers you a chance for a shift, because the Dog is the opposing animal of the year, much like the Rooster was last year.
Dragon year is here to shine the spot light on what is no longer working. Experiencing some obstacles means that is time to let go of the "stuck & stale" energies and transmute the situation into something positive. The choice is yours to take.
Career 2024
When the Dog is your month animal, this means there is a shift either in your career or work sector. Either a change in boss, nature of work, relationship with colleges…
Your past efforts and contributions will gain awards and recognition. This is very exciting.
Take this experience as a chance for growth. Is this the direction you are after? Does this bring you happiness?
From a general perspective, this pillar can also affect family relationships.
Best Months: February, March, June
Caution Month: April
Note: this is based on solar months that start and end between the 4th or 8th of the month. Exact dates are described on our weekly #WisdomWednesday publications
Health Outlook
This is not the year to seek comfort as there may be some obstacles to overcome.
Clear the anger from 2023, because it can express itself through words and may come out at the worse time, affecting your relationships. This can cause a lot of stress, much like a volcano erupting.
Having the Dog in your chart means that one can be very set in their ways, particularly if there are more than one dog or earth elements in the chart. Take change as a gift that helps growth and expansion.
Be mindful of what is between your ears and what you carry in your heart.
