2018 is the Year of the Dog, which is predicted to be a year of social change marked by security concerns and the rise of social conservative movements within society.  It is also predicted to be a year which can bring change to how we live our lives with changes in the way we view our diets, smoking, drinking and junk food, with some astrologers specifically predicting new laws to reflect the dangers associated some foods and drinks. 

It is often said that the Dog is man’s best friend, the year of the yang earth Dog begins on 16th February 2018 and over all is predicted to be a turbulent year in all aspects of life.  Whilst it can be a troubled year it is also a year where less affluent areas of the world will come together and introduce new ways to help the less fortunate and hopefully we will see more fair balance between the rich and poor.

Dog years can bring many changes, good and bad, and economically they are normally growth years although they can also bring collapse of major institutions and large adjustments in the economy like stock markets of values of currency so take care with investments in 2018.
