The Dog

The Yang metal animal.
 

Corresponding Western Sign: Libra

 
 
Dogs are essentially honest and noble creatures. They are well known for being champions of justice and have a tendency to see things in black and white terms. Yet they can be cynics, as well as idealists, which produces high moral standards.
Dog people however, are often beset by doubts and anxieties. This can increase when they are not sure of the way to go, and often need someone to lead them and instruct in the way to go. But when they are sure of the way, they can move mountains to carry out a task.
