Every dog lover has a moment when their dog will do something completely off the radar of the typical breed. Perhaps your Golden Retriever doesn’t like water, or your Border Collie would rather sleep on the couch instead of herding.
We tend to think it’s the genes and the environment of our pets, but many pet owners are now seeking the stars to find their pet's soul.
Astrology is a fun way to analyze the temperament of our canine companions, and it can allow us to have a deeper connection with our pets.
The Celestial Connection: Why Astrology is a Dog Owner’s Secret Weapon
Many people used to only concern themselves with outward actions in obedience training, but now they look into spiritual ideas to better understand the “why” behind their pet’s personality.
Sites such as Asknebula are making it very easy for people to get in touch with ancient ideas. You can utilize spiritual tools and guidance to get through your own personal life and relationships, including your beloved pets.
When we consider our dog’s personality in relation to a larger universe, we go from merely dealing with a pet to connecting with our dog on a level that synchronizes with their soul energy, making sense of the beauty and chaos of our relationship with our canine friends.
It’s all about seeing our dogs as dog parents in the way that we see ourselves as being guided by the universe’s energy cycles.
When we understand the cosmic setup with our dogs, we essentially get a guide to their emotions and communications, and their hidden fears.
Here's more about the characteristics of dogs born under different signs to help you decide if they are the right fit for you.
The Fire Signs
Fire sign dogs are the doers of the zodiac. They have endless energy and need non-stop physical and mental stimulation. For instance:
- Aries: Born leaders of the dog park. An Aries dog is brave, adventurous, and tends to act before they think. They need a challenge and can become destructive if they do not have a job to do.
- Leo: The Leo dog knows they are basically royalty. They want the spotlight. They're fun-loving and loyal, but can be quite stubborn too.
- Sagittarius: The Sagittarius dog will try to jump into any car door they see open. They live for freedom above all else and are great for hikers and travelers because they have such a great outlook on life.
The Earth Signs
Earth signs are the grounding force in the dog zodiac. These dogs are reliable, tactile, and very connected to their surroundings.
- Taurus: These are the gourmands of the canine world, as they love gourmet treats and soft, velvety textures. While they are loyal to their humans, they are also known for their stubbornness. And once they decide the walk is over, good luck convincing them otherwise.
- Virgo: The Virgo dogs are always planning and scheming, even when they are simply relaxing and having it easy. They are very observant and go crazy for mental challenges and training that focuses on getting things accomplished. They are also probably the neatest dogs, avoiding mud puddles whenever possible.
- Capricorn: These dogs are like the old souls in this bunch. Even as puppies, they have a wise and disciplined look to them. They take their job as protector of the home very seriously and feel safest in a hierarchical environment with a strict schedule.
The Air Signs
Air signs are the “talkative” ones. These breeds want social time, are curious, and have a need to sniff out all the activity happening in the area.
- Gemini: They are super curious and talkative. They will bark a lot and talk to people. They get bored quickly, so a toy box is a good idea here.
- Libra: Libra breeds are the ones that do not like to argue. They will be the referee in a house with a lot of pets. They are social and may suffer from separation anxiety more often than not.
- Aquarius: They will do strange things, like sleep in weird positions, and befriend the neighborhood cat. They are independent and behave as if they know something the average dog doesn’t.
The Water Signs
The Water Sign Dogs are most in tune with their owners’ emotional vibes. They will know their owners’ moods immediately and are extremely compassionate.
- Cancer: These dogs are very nurturing and sensitive. They need a little more reassurance in times of major family change, and they consider themselves part of the family, not a family pet.
- Scorpio: These dogs are very intense, very intuitive, and seem to have a sixth sense for people. Once they have a bond with you, it’s like a soul connection that cannot be broken. They’re usually extremely protective of their owner.
- Pisces: Pisces dogs tend to sleep in front of windows, and they sleep very, very deeply. They’re very sensitive to the vibe of the room and are comfort dogs extraordinaire, knowing when you need a little cuddle time after a long day.
