My 8th Dog

Chinese Rooster and Dog can work out but they need to overcome some difficulties. Dog has more energy and isn't much of a perfectionist like Rooster. Rooster will guard their finances carefully only to have Dog give money away. This can be a very big issue. If they can reach a compromise they can both live with, they may be happy. Dog can help Rooster learn to accept and receive affection. Rooster can give Dog someone they can truly trust. Their relationship won't be perfect, but they can have a pleasant life.

In business, these two will be successful. They both work hard to achieve their goals. Their complementary skills work well in a business atmosphere. Rooster is practical and clever. Dog is trustworthy and holds the business to high standards. They will be a terrific team.

When this pairing consists of a Dog man and a Rooster woman, after a brief shining time of newness, they will begin to clash. She will learn she isn't the most important thing in his life, which is a great blow. He expects her to make his life comfortable and reassure him to overcome his innate insecurities. She isn't that kind of person, however. She may become aggressive, which will tend to depress him.

Aha! The line in bold is so true! It is a GREAT, BIG BLOW! I want to stomp my talons, crow and beat my chest. Being a rooster, I like to preen and be pretty.  I expect people to look at me when I enter a place.  I like taking care of my looks and strutting my stuff.  I like being a star.  Why can't my 8th dog give me this?

According to Chinese Astrology, the Rabbit and the Dog are the two signs that are most incompatible with the Rooster.
