Yes, your pets have a zodiac sign just like you! Every single living being on earth that has incarnated on this physical plane has their very own natal chart. However, we’ll get into personal charts another time. I’m always available to give a reading. For now, let’s dive into the celestial behavior of our pets and how it relates to the universe, not only to peek beyond the veil but to see what quirks we may fundamentally share with them and the universe.
Contemporary astrology in the United States is generally associated with the 12 zodiac signs like Virgo and Aries, and their role in personal horoscopes. Centuries ago, early Western astrology often conflicted with astronomy and was considered a scholarly subject. Astrologers made celestial observations to create a system of rules to divine future events on earth; the ancient Egyptians used these to predict their events as well and find where to place their pyramids.
By the late 17th century with the rise of Greek physics/mathematics, it was considered to be pseudoscience in the mainstream. However, this “ancient” ideology had been outsmarting astronomy for centuries and some believe it still does in modern day, if not go hand-in-hand. Keep reading to see your pet’s fortune based on their date of birth.
Capricorn
December 22–January 19
Capricorn is the 3rd earth zodiac sign. These pups represent the pinnacle of all dogs. These puppies are disciplined, dedicated, and hardworking. Pets born under this sign thrive on work such as herding and throw themselves into the outdoors with intelligence and resolve. They are generally easy to train, and they will always want something to do. They also prefer toys that utilize cognitive skills!
Aquarius
January 20–February 19
Aquarius is the 3rd air zodiac sign. Puppies born under this sign are inventive, freedom-oriented, and eccentric; they all need to be different. These pets definitely have a will of their own, like to roam, and may not always listen. They are intelligent but will always have their inner puppy on display, making their personalities quite comical.
Pisces
February 20–March 20
Pisces is the 3rd and final water zodiac sign. These puppies are sympathetic, compassionate, understanding, and gentle. Pups born under this sign are sensitive to their environment and should be trained with a light touch. They also feel more secure if they have their own “spot” (pillow, bed, perch, or rug). They are loyal and very sensitive to their owner’s moods. Once they imprint on someone, it’s for life. Pisces animals are also more curious than most, so keep an eye on them to avoid things breaking.
Aries
March 21–April 20
Aries is the 1st of the fire zodiac signs. These pups represent the springtime of the zodiac— the time for life’s budding renewal. Thus, puppies born during this period are full of life and vitality, yet anxious to be out and about exploring their world. You can count on these pets to be headstrong, pushy, curious, impulsive, and energetic. Aries puppies have leadership traits and will let you know what they want. They may even be in charge! Even if there are training challenges, they are also very loyal to their family.
Taurus
April 21–May 20
Taurus is the 1st of the earth zodiac signs. These pups represent the planting of the seed. Taurus pet personalities are docile, earthy, relaxed, or stubborn. Pets born under this sign are generally strong and fond of comfort (like the most comfortable place to lay down!), love food and snacks, and like things to stay the same. While Taurus pets may be stubborn, they are also very protective and like to keep an eye on the safety of their home and family.
Gemini
May 21–June 20
Gemini is the 1st of the air zodiac signs. It represents the breezes that prepare us for a new season. Pups born under this sign love diversity, and are always racing around the yard or home. The best part is they are intelligent, fun-loving, and curious about everything. They are very friendly and playful and will probably have MANY toys.
Cancer
June 21–July 22
Cancer is the 1st of the water zodiac signs These pups represent the realm of emotions. Cancer pets are sensitive, extremely loyal to home and family, caring, and fond of food. These animals tend to attach themselves firmly to you and will guard and protect you faithfully. Their barks may get out of hand but don’t worry, they’re just saying “Hey I love you”. (I *woof* you.)

Leo
July 23–August 22
Leo is the 2nd fire zodiac sign. The pups are strong, magnanimous, and playful. Leo’s pets want to lead, have lots of energy, and—like their totem, the lion—they have their “pride.” They also possess natural abilities, can not be told what to do, are fiercely protective of their dens, and like to be noticed, so just know you’ve got a fighter and a lover on your hands.
Virgo
August 23–September 22
Virgo is the 2nd earth zodiac sign. The puppies represent the harvest of the planted seed. These pets like to accomplish things. Pets born during this time are easy to train, intelligent, discerning, capable, and quick to housebreak. They like to be groomed, which you will see be a very easy process! Virgo pups will make lasting memories with you.
Libra
September 23–October 22
Libra is the 2nd air sign. Libran pets have a constant need to be related—with their environment, with other animals, and with people. Pets born under this sign will go to great lengths to please you. They also follow you around and most likely prefer to sleep in your bed.
Scorpio
October 23–November 22
Scorpio is the 2nd water zodiac sign. This sign rules over willpower. Scorpios are by far the strongest members of the zodiac. Pets born under this sign are willful, stubborn, and intelligent. They are also mischievous and have an insatiable curiosity, so expect your little one to get into your things!
Sagittarius
November 23–December 21
Sagittarius is the 3rd and final fire zodiac sign. Puppies born under this sign are seekers of freedom and adventure. Sagittarian pets have lots of energy and enjoy challenges. They also like to move around—and not just in the backyard. As they love action, these pets want you to take them with you when you go hiking or for a simple car drive.
If your pet has any of the qualities listed above in their horoscope, this just means that in a small way, your pup is a reflection of your own personality. We all come from the same stardust, we’re just experiencing it all a little differently. Learning your pet’s zodiac sign is a small step to understanding how profound our universe is. Its hard to know the exact location, date, and time our pets were brought onto this planet but we can already predict they will be fortunate after placed in our palms! ■
