Aries (March 21 - April 19) Taking advantage of opportunities is vital in the wild, but your instincts may be a bit rusty. Keeping your eyes open and your ears cocked is all it takes to catch your prey, indoors or out. Stay grounded and focused.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) No matter how much whining you do, your owner is going out the door. You might as well adjust your attitude about their plans, because that's the only thing you can adjust. Start by looking at time alone in the doghouse as a way of enjoying a personal day.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) It's hard always being held back by the leash, but it can be just as difficult to be off of it completely. You'll find that out the hard way today. Sometimes you have to try something for yourself to understand the point of it all.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Whether or not you feel like coming out of the doghouse rarely affects whether you do. You're either stuck inside alone when you wish you were out or being rushed outside at an inopportune time. Such is the life of a domesticated dog.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Like any self-respecting dog, you only let the mailman come but so close to your doghouse. Even biscuits can't sway you their way. They can't make a good impression on you no matter how hard they try, but that won't stop them. Hold your ground.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You could meet just the right dog, but it won't be easy. In fact, it will be a lot of hard work. Just getting out and about is a huge effort. Not sure where to begin? Make escaping from the doghouse your biggest ambition.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) When your human feels weird, you feel weird. Watch out for tell tale signs before they creep up your back. The moment you feel that things around the doghouse aren't emotionally balanced, it's time to head for the yard, if not the hills.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) You're too clever by half. You've come to understand that self-control nets you more biscuits than begging ever did. Now that you've found this nugget, start putting it to good use. It works in many situations throughout your day.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Whether your owner's style is conservative or one of a kind, you both stick out like sore thumbs today. You can't walk down the street without getting attention from others humans and dogs. The reason is something highly unusual, even for a dog like you.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You're finally hearing the 'good dog' you've been longing for, but you have no idea why. That doesn't make the recognition any less sweet, though. If anything, its random nature makes it all the more meaningful.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Some days you're fine on the leash, and other days the mere thought of it makes you start flailing away against its image in your mind's eye. It's one of those days. You just can't take anything but complete and total freedom. Make it happen.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Whether you're dealing with the alpha or dogs at your own level, they're falling over each other trying to help you. Accepting their help is not as easy as it sounds, though. For some things, the only suitable savior is your human.
