Dog
Loyal and just, guardian of those it loves
The Dog senses a person before they even speak — one look is enough for you to know who deserves trust and who's hiding something behind a smile. Loyalty is your religion: once you take someone into your heart, you stand by them through rain and shine, without bargaining and without conditions. Justice burns in your chest, and you can't stay silent in the face of wrongdoing, even when silence would be easier. You are the guardian — the one who sleeps more soundly knowing everyone dear to them is accounted for.
Behind that loyalty hides a soul that worries a great deal, often more about others' troubles than its own. You're honest to the bone and would rather speak a hard truth than sell a pretty lie. You care in a quiet, unassuming way, never asking for credit for the kindness you give. But once you feel betrayed, that same loyalty can turn into a deep, stubborn wall.
In love
In love you are a trustworthy partner — faithful, warm, and ready to guard the one you love like your greatest treasure. You don't fall easily, since you give your heart only once you're certain, but once given, it's given whole and forever. You need reassurance and warmth, because beneath the brave exterior hides a tender need to know you're not alone.
At work
At work you're honest and reliable, a colleague everyone leans on because you never go back on your word. You don't chase wealth at any cost — what matters more to you is that the work is right and serves something honest. You approach money cautiously, preferring to save rather than risk, and you're calmer knowing you have a cushion for hard times.

Kindred souls
You naturally bond with the Tiger and the Horse — their courage and honest energy ignite your loyalty, and together you form a steady, warm alliance. Things are hardest with the Dragon: its need to shine and your tendency to doubt collide easily, so trust there must be built slowly and patiently. Once you give someone your heart, you don't take it back lightly.
