Pets Have Horoscopes
From LoveToKnow Horoscopes
Did you know that pets have horoscopes too? Find out why it's useful to know your pet's sun sign and how that info can help you.
Yes, Pets Have Horoscopes
Most people tend to think of astrology as strictly a "people thing". Relatively few people think about extending the idea of personal horoscopes to their pets, but there's no reason why you shouldn't. After all, the energies of the universe affect all forms of matter whether they're animal, mineral or vegetable, so it stands to reason that our pets should have their own astrological forecast as well.
Scoffers may be thinking to themselves, "What's the point? Animals can't read and reason like people". For the most, part this is true. However, pet lovers certainly can think and reason, so they can put the info found in pet horoscopes to good use. Let's examine this from several different angles.
Applying Pet Horoscopes
If you know your pet's birth date, you can use that info to determine its sun sign, the sign most pertinent astrological information is based on. An animal's sun sign reveals common characteristics, but the info is also translated into daily and weekly forecasts that can help you determine how daily life will affect your pet.
Health
Is it a good day to take your pet to the veterinarian's for its annual check up and booster shots? Maybe or maybe not, but without consulting your pet's horoscope forecast, you're simply guessing. The fact is, when you use your pet's forecast as a guideline, you can take external forces into consideration when making these decisions. Does the forecast indicate a number of challenges to be faced on a particular date? If so, don't set an appointment for that day. Your pet will already have enough to contend with without the trauma of a vet trip. Is there a day noted when the world seems to look favorably on your animal companion? If so, this would be the ideal time to schedule that veterinary appointment to ensure the least amount of fuss and drama.
Going a little more in depth, you can put your pet's horoscope to even greater use during the treatment of serious illnesses. For example, if your pet is receiving chemotherapy for cancer, scheduling treatments on the most optimal days of your pet's forecast may actually result in those same treatments being more effective than they would have been on a "bad" forecast day.
Training
Just as with health issues, your pet will have good and bad days for training. Have you been wondering why your puppy has been sailing through those Thursday night obedience training sessions with flying colors, but suddenly this Thursday he tanked out? Take a look back at his forecast for that day. The alignment of the cosmos might have revealed that the day would be a difficult one for your dog to concentrate on, hence the difficulties. Had you known of that ahead of time, you could have been a bit more prepared for your dog's distraction and brought along extra treats to keep him focused.
You can apply horoscope forecasts to virtually every training situation to give your pet the greatest chance for success.
Compatibility
Compatibility is a big issue in a successful animal/human relationship. Have you ever gone to pick out a pet at a store or shelter and wondered why you connected with one animal and not another? Animal sun signs operate on the same compatibility factors as human sun signs; some signs get along famously, while others make less than ideal companions according to the way their personalities interact. If you can find out the animal's actual birth date, you can compare it to your own to get a general idea of how well the pairing will get along.
You can apply this same thinking to the way a potential new pet will get along with the other creatures currently living in your household. If that new kitten you think you're in love with has a sign that is strongly incompatible with your established house cat, it might be better to rethink your decision before bringing the kitten home. You could be asking for a lot of trouble acclimating these two animals to live together, and you may never achieve more than an uneasy truce. This would not be an ideal situation.
Like signs tend to get along well enough. Consult the chart below to determine the potential compatibility between all the members of your household.
