The Dog and his Ascendants

Born During the Hours of the Mouse - 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Loving but not so giving. Has a monetary angle even when he is moralizing. He is considerate and careful about money - mainly his own.

Born During the Hours of the Ox - 1 a.m. to 3 a.m.

Has brusque but unquestionable veracity. May have a spotless reputation but he is too conservative and dour in many ways. Staunch defender of the faith!

Born During the Hours of the Tiger - 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.

Both signs here are tirelessly active and courageous. However, the Tiger could make the Dog more impatient and critical than he already is. But on the whole this combination could also produce a more stimulated and passionate Dog.

Born During the Hours of the Rabbit - 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.

A Dog who is all for d|tente. Weighs his pros and cons carefully before taking sides. Apt to be lighthearted and will not like baring his fangs.

Born During the Hours of the Dragon - 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

A very idealistic Dog who will be a miracle worker or missionary. He will truly qualify for sainthood if he can only accept other versions of religion aside from his own. Very dogmatic combination.

Born During the Hours of the Snake - 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

A Dog with a silent, brooding nature that rarely surfaces. Competent and mentally superior. The Snake in him will bend his sense of justice a little so that he is not adverse to taking shortcuts in order to achieve his goals.

Born During the Hours of the Horse - 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

A sharp, sunny Dog with electric responses. Never misses a cue and is everyone's best friend - but don't ask him to prove it. He will go merrily on his way if you are too imposing!

Born During the Hours of the Sheep - 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Soft-hearted, cuddly Dog who will be artistic, pessimistic and sympathetic in nature. Still, he won't lose his keen sense of fair play but may keep one eye closed now and then to make allowances for your weaknesses.

Born During the Hours of the Monkey - 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

A Dog with stretchable conscience and unfailing wit. Amusing, diverse and gay. A splendid interlacing here of character and ingenuity.

Born During the Hours of the Rooster - 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

A preaching Dog. And, believe me, he would rather preach than practice. Very analytical, and competent to achieve his goals, but it takes him so long to get to the point.

Born During the Hours of the Dog - 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

A defensive, ever-alert Dog. Constantly looking for causes to fight, rights to wrong and infidels to save. Has an open and honest nature, but is a committed revolutionary.

Born During the Hours of the Pig - 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.

A burly, sensuous and emotionally charged Dog. Will go all out to censor others while still hooked on some pretty rich indulgences of his own.
