Year of the Dog (1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018)

Lucky colors: White, gold, silver  

Affinity numbers: 5, 4  

In an interview with “Unang Hirit” and GMA News Online, Johnson said that those born in the Year of the Dog are friends with the Horse, so they can benefit from achievements and opportunities.

“But this time, kailangan maging conservative when it comes to investment,” he said. “Think long term, huwag minamadali ang mga decisions.”

Money: Think long-term when investing and avoid being aggressive. Prioritize planning your strategy, as mistakes can lead to financial losses.

Career: Take advantage of your resources to seize career opportunities. Regulate your emotions and avoid getting involved in other people’s problems. Be mindful of tactlessness and of being too straightforward, as they can lead to misunderstandings.

Love: Promising energy for love, but learn to balance your time between work and personal life. Widen your understanding and don’t let small issues grow bigger due to a lack of clarity.

Health: Prioritize rest, especially when experiencing stress. Schedule a thorough medical checkup and be mindful of heart, eye, stomach, and blood circulation health issues particularly for women and the elderly.

Just a friendly reminder: These are only guides. Our true fate will still depend on the actions and decisions we make in our lives. — LA, GMA Integrated News
