The Year 2011 will be an excellent year for those of you born under the sign of the dog. This year’s ruling animal is one you get along well with. Also, your sign’s ruling element is the same as the year’s element. This means you’ll probably find comforts, pleasures, and successes abundant in 2011.   Being a North West sign, you will also benefit from the positive energy from the powerful number 8 Wealth Star which flies to your home location this year. All the attributes of the patriarchal Chien trigram will also benefit you in terms of mentor luck, interpersonal skills and leadership qualities. You also get to enjoy the Star of Small Auspicious on your left. Enhance all these positive energies with a Crystal Globe and some wealth enhancers to absorb the all powerful energy from the number 8 Star.

Though generally good, there are a couple of discordant stars you have to deal with. One is the Star of Yearly Conflict which may make you more quarrelsome than usual, adversely affecting you relationships with others. Curb this argumentative tendency with a Flaming Wheel Dharma which has the power to reduce slander and gossip. The other not so friendly star you have to confront is the side 3 Killings. Wear or display the 3 Celestial Guardians - the Pi Yao, the Chi Lin and the Fu Dog, to overcome this hostile star. Your life force and inner chi also needs a boost this year-use the Sacred Sunburst for this purpose.

You have many reasons to smile as your yearly outlook is positive most of the time. Even when it's not, your secret friend, the Rabbit and the power number 8 energy will help you overcome the conflicts which come your way.

As a final measure, remember to keep your Horoscope Allies and Friends close to you. With their help and support, obstacles will be less overwhelming, good fortune will be multiplied and success will seem so much sweeter.
