WELCOME TO THE YEAR OF THE EARTH DOG.

In Chinese astrology, not only is every year associated with one of the twelve zodiac signs (rat, buffalo, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, pig) but also with one of five elements: Metal, wood, water, fire and earth. The year 2018 meets the element earth, i. e. since 16th February 2018 we are in the year of the earth dog. According to Chinese understanding, the dog embodies faithfulness and loyalty. He is resolutely committed to justice, equality and peace. In order to achieve his ethical goals, he does not shy away from noisy arguments. The year 2018 is all about the Earth dog. Ethical principles are his top priority. With his keen sense of justice, he also makes minorities be heard and does not shy away from the fight against injustice and oppression. He is filled with a deep belief in equality and fraternity. That’s why values such as willingness to help, humanity, and fair play will get a lot of fresh impetus in 2018, the year of the dog. Practical solutions based on reason are the focus this year.
