What Kind of Dog Are You?

If you were born in 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, or 2006,  then congratulations, you're everyone's favorite canine. Famous "dogs" include political leaders Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and Winston Churchill, and A-list celebrities such as Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez and Michael Jackson.

While the dog is brave, caring and loyal, it's also sensitive and prone to anxiety. For those born in 1958 and 2018, your element is Earth, which means you’re also hard-working and stubborn.

If you're a dog you should be extra careful in 2018. According to Chinese tradition, the year of your zodiac animal is always the most unlucky. You may find yourself running into trouble in your love life, at work or with your finances. To remedy this, keep a low profile and think before you act. And remember to wear red – it'll help ward off bad luck.
