Zodiac signs are all the craze nowadays. It seems that everybody knows about astrology and even judges people based on their astrological sign. Are you one of them? If so, you might be really curious to know if our pets are still held to the same rules of the stars. Do dogs have horoscopes?

Since the zodiac signs are developed to cover the entire year, your dogs, cats, and other critters would most certainly be on the list. If you know your dog’s birthday, here’s a bit of information about a dog’s zodiac sign personality so you can see if your dog fits their sign.

Aries

Oh yes, the Aries. Headstrong, fiery, and the epitome of what makes a fire sign, a fire sign. No matter what kind of animal you have born in this window, you can bet they are definitely assertive and love to run!

An Aries tends to be a little headstrong, so they might even prove challenging to train. However, they exhibit loyalty and ambition, so you have such a rewarding relationship with them. In terms of protection? They will defend their heart and home 100%.

The Aries is a bit hard to handle for some. They might require a bit of a firm hand. It’s nice to use positive reinforcement training with this star sign—and definitely never use force or negative reinforcement to get your point across—you won’t win!

Taurus

The lazy, relaxed Taurus loves to eat. These are some stereotypes that you hear when talking about this earth sign. The Taurus tends to be a little bit stubborn.

So, even though your animal might be extremely sweet, lackadaisical, and go with the flow, they might also be a little resistant to change and put up a fight when it’s something they don’t want to do.

Tauruses are also creatures of habit. A pet that is a Taurus might have trouble adjusting to change. So, if you move homes or bring a new baby into the equation, they might not adjust so great at first.

But don’t worry, these lovable doggos will warm up before you know it.

Gemini

The Gemini—the twin of the zodiac world. If you have a dog that is a Gemini, their split personality will speak for itself. One minute, they might be relaxed and chilling on the couch. The next, they are bouncing off your walls and ripping down your curtains.

The Gemini is known to have two extreme sides to their personality, making them somewhat unpredictable, which can be entertaining all on its own. Geminis tend to be pretty free-spirited and happy.

Geminis are curious cats, or, well, dogs! They tend to be very social, outgoing, and exploratory! If you love adventure, you will certainly love having the glass-half-full Gemini by your side.

You can always count on them to put a smile on your face and fill your heart with love.

Cancer

If you have a Cancer animal in your home, you might notice that they are a bit more emotionally intuitive than some others.A Cancer will probably make a fantastic emotional support animal, constantly being aware of your mood fluctuations and your stress.

These animals can be a little nervous at times. You might find that a Cancer might duck under their bed when there’s a thunderstorm or even develop issues like separation anxiety.

These animals wear their heart on their sleeve, so they will be extreme Lovebugs, willing to give affection to just about anyone. Even ones that are more selective will thrive on the connection they have with their human counterparts.

Leo

The goofy, spicy Leo is a lion at heart. Brave, sometimes against their own good, is an understatement. Many of these animals might exhibit a larger-than-life personality, where they think that they rule the roost.

Brave, helpful, and courageous, a lion-hearted little Leo dog will be protective, proactive, and perfect for pet parents everywhere. They have a light-heartedness about them but when they mean business, you can see their whole demeanor change.

They are a fire sign for sure, being a little bit bossy, somewhat stubborn, and even a bit overbearing. However, a Leo also has a very loving quality that makes them super fantastic in their own right.

Virgo

The Virgo: a methodical, analytical star sign that bleeds over on our pets as well. If you have a Virgo, you might notice that your dog is very observant, calculated, and well-mannered. These animals tend to look at life through a very practical lens.

They tend to be very obedient animals, making them very easy to train. Virgos tend to be incredibly intelligent, so you shouldn’t have much of an issue teaching them basic concepts like potty training and general commands.

Because of a Virgo’s analytical nature, it also makes some great candidates for advanced training and areas of service or task-related duties. They are very observant of their surroundings and receptive to commands.

Libra

The Scorpio is one of the darkest of all star signs. They might put on a warm face, but when you have your back turned, they’re into the trash! Scorpios are the type of star signs that know what they are and aren’t to do, and then proceed to do whatever they want.

Then, they will make you feel bad for reprimanding them. They might be one of the most cunning of all star signs, so they constantly keep you on your toes. They might just outsmart you no matter what—and then put an innocent face on to lay on the guilt trip thick!

Scorpios run deep. They might lack obvious expressions, so it could be hard to tell what they are thinking. They might come across as somber, poker-faced, or even aloof. However, there is much more depth than what meets the eye.

Sagittarius

The Sagittarius could arguably be the most adventurous of all the doggo star signs. Sagittarius dogs might be escape artists, excellent playmates, and road trip travelers. They are curious about the world around them and aim to sniff out everything that makes life great.

The Sagittarius has their little head in the clouds. You might find that your dog is a bit of an airhead that doesn’t always think things through. They aren’t the most well-timed, but they’re certainly humorous and friendly. They’re energy makes training not so serious, creating a layer of comedic relief during serious moments.

Capricorn

The Capricorn is a highly practical star sign, maybe even more so than a Virgo. These pets will be very straight to the point. A Capricorn animal might be a little disapproving when there are a lot of shenanigans happening around the household.

Slightly aloof and a little moody, they might judge you, look down on you, and wonder why you do some of the things that you do.

Also, they might be the most well-behaved pet you have. They know the rules and they follow them—because they’re by-the-book like that. Capricorns also tend to be protective, so they will make very parental-style companions to kiddos and other pets.

Aquarius

The Aquarius is definitely a critter of many colors. These animals tend to be very intellectual and creative. For this reason, it might make them extremely good at being escape artists, getting away with other bad behaviors and the works!

On the flipside, they might just be very good at navigating life. They might take to learning very well, soaking in all kinds of different concepts, tricks, and commands. This is a very good candidate for advanced training concepts, as they are patient and receptive.

The Aquarius has a bit of an unconventional approach to life. These dogs might march to the beat of their own drum. They can also be quite sensitive to criticism, so always make sure to use positive reinforcement when interacting with them.

Pisces

Ah, the Pisces—deeply emotional, heart-on-their-sleeve, overly sensitive, lovable. If your dog is a Pisces, they are going to be quite an easygoing but sometimes babyish dog that is ultra-receptive of the energy around the room.

The Pisces is known as being one of the most intuitive and sensitive star signs of all. However, this can create a bit of negativity as well, as it can lead to issues like nervousness, separation anxiety, and other behavioral concerns.

A Pisces might also become very dependent on their owners, looking to them for guidance. This is a very desirable trait for some and less desirable trait for others.

Conclusion

Now you understand that the stars can influence our pets as much as they influence us. Now that you’ve learned a little bit more about each star sign, have you found any similarities to the descriptions with your pet?

Of course, these are stereotypical explanations for these star signs. Every animal is an individual with a whole personality of their own. It’s not a one-size-fits-all situation, although these are all very common characteristics of these signs.
