Aries (March 21 - April 19) Being agreeable and charming is hard work for you, but it'll pay off if you stick with it. Sit, stay, roll over -- do whatever it takes because the treats are not your average biscuits.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) You don't have your usual intense amount of energy, but you're feeling good just the same. The couch beckons. Enjoy lounging with your humans for a change.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You have an innate understanding of the situation, even if you are clueless about the particulars. Bills, business matters, accounts -- you know nothing of such things, but it's loud and clear that busybodies want to know. Don't let them in the doghouse.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) It's one thing when your owners have friends and family over, but it's another when the doghouse is full of strangers. You'll be expected to be on your best behavior. If it helps you make it through this social gathering, know that guests are receptive to your begging.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Dogs might not show off the same things as humans do, but you still have your status symbols, not to mention your reputation to think of. If you don't want to be considered the underdog, it's time to strut your stuff.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Your humans are sick of all the begging. But are they trying to avoid the issue altogether? Not likely. Don't do too much fretting and soul searching when they prepare to go out. Just sit back and wait for the doggy bag.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Your pack and your humans have two totally separate rules of etiquette. It goes without saying that you have kindness in common. Exert it toward your owners' friends today.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Acting in haste won't get you what you want. An ambush takes lots of watching and waiting. Let your instincts come back to you, even if your prey is a table scrap.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) When you're given an inch, take a mile. You and your owners are on the same wavelength, so be sure to slip in as many requests as possible. When you get what you want from one, move on to another.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You'd have to be disciplined and economical with your time to fit in everything the day offers, but that would take all the fun out of it. Pack in as much pleasure as you can. You can relax another day.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Do you really want to end up an eccentric old dog? If not, you'd better straighten out now. Start by making simple changes and work from there. Try not guarding your territory with quite so much zeal.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Your artistic side is being revealed. The jingle of your leash is like poetry to your ears. A can of chow in your bowl: a thing of beauty. And your humans send you over the moon. Enjoy.
