Dog children are loyal and loving, and will stick up for their loved ones and friends. They are understanding and tolerant, but if they feel they’ve been treated unfairly they become truculent and pig headed. To get the best from a Dog child, love them, give compliments and encourage. Trust them with responsibility.

The Dragon Moon, 1st-11th, will supply plenty of brain twisting conundrums to test your mind on. These will either relate to family and emotional matters or household repair situations. Otherwise, there’s plenty of fun if you organise an outing or gather like-minded spirits in your home. Romantic dogs should offer their partner or potential partner a scenic journey.

The Lotus Moon, 12th on, will stimulate your worry cells, with vehicle maintenance hassles, love partner tensions and misbehaving relatives. To keep the peace, don’t be too critical or allow your temper to flare. Stay patient! In work and business, strong Earth energies will promote progress if you remain realistic and focussed.

Refuse to invest after the 15th. Before the 25th, spiritual Celestial energies advocate involving in a new or old path, or taking up fresh meditation techniques. Either side of the 26th’s Full Lotus Moon, compromise in love and with children.
