2018 is the Year of the Dog according to Chinese zodiac. This is a Year of Earth Dog, starting from the 2018 Chinese New Year on Feb. 16 and lasting to 2019 Lunar New Yearâs Eve on Feb. 4. The Chinese Zodiac, known as Sheng Xiao, is based on a twelve-year cycle, each year in that cycle related to an animal sign.
The Lunar New Year, also known as the Chinese New Year, starts today, ushering in the year of the Dog and kindly showing the year of the Rooster out. According to Chinese astrologer Laura Lau, this year will feel very different from last year â and that might be for the better. Lau says that, within the Chinese Zodiac, the Dog is a true companion, associated with loyalty, honesty, intelligence, and a strong sense of right and wrong, as opposed to the Rooster, which has a tendency to be demanding and a tad persnickety.
