firm lovers of dogs and even wrote whole
treatises on how to look after them in the
Zend Avestha. It isn't clear whether these
ancient peoples devoted their lives to the
care and good treatment of canines to the
extent of setting up astrological charts for
them, but I'm sure some Zoroastrian
astrologer must have been tempted to do so
even in those early days.
Astrology can be used to chart the life of
any living thing on this planet, so why not
use it to chart the progress of animals, our
pet dogs especially. Currently many new
websites offering pet horoscopes are
spreading across the net, some exhibiting
with the same reverential treatment the
Zoroastrians displayed in their detailed
observance of how it's best to always give
the last morsel on your plate to your dog,
and what is the best method of dealing
with a pregnant female delivering her
breed. Few astrologers give a detailed
analysis of a dog's chart, so it seems now is
the right time to see if astrology can be
meaningful in helping us understand our
best friend better with the aid of astrology.
The yogas I refer to in telling this dog’s
‘tale’ can all be found in Parasara unless
stated differently.
Tsange was born 22 June 2000 17:15 BST Long 01W37 Lat 53 N 42 TZ 0 DST 1

Tsange has Libra ascendant (19 15 21 PL 7) Swati nakshatra and Moon in Sathabhisha and
here is the navamsa with Mercury ruler of seventh navamsa in third navamsa indicating no
marriage, which so far is true..............and he is still a celibate little dog....................

Once I had set up his chart I gasped to see so many planets in ninth house, certainly ninth
speaks of an area his breed is strongly connected to‐the temple. Tibetan Terriers are know to
have been especially bred by Tibetan monks to guard their temples, and certainly for my
little terrier his home is his temple which he guards every minute of the day, watching
392
passers by, and barking whenever they do. The Tibetan Terrier is a member of the Lhasa
Apso family which apparently is a name that means 'bark sentinel’. Legend has it that these
creatures were selected by monks due to their extra fine hearing which means they can
detect an intruder from miles away and I’ll write more of this ability later. See L2, the house
of childhood family, Mars is in ninth,
also showing the connection of his Tsage was born under Priti Yoga which shows he

T sange was born under Priti Yoga which shows he will be loved by all and be
attracted to women. It also shows a mischievous nature. Certainly from a young age
we would go for walks and have to stop as each passer by bent down to stroke him.
Not only this, people going past in cars would wind down windows and shout, 'nice dog' or
‘love your dog' even at busy times of the day. But most amazingly
would be outings to the country or seaside where, if he had run off
and was out of sight, I only had to listen for cooing women and
see them looking down admiringly to know that yet again the
little rogue was seducing females with his gorgeous round big
black eyes, and I would find him wrapping his body around
their legs in mutual admiration.

He is certainly mischievous. When walking he will often

stay behind me on his lead then take a running jump at the
back of my legs as if trying to trip me over. One look down
at his big toothy grin always makes me laugh. Often he will
approach passers by to nudge them gently with his nose, and
I have to take care not to smile at the genuinely frightened
ones as they jump out of his way. Most who know him now,
know he merely wants to play ‘’tiggy’ where he nudges you,
you chase him and play catch before starting all over again. Another of his favourite tricks is
to round people up as though he were a sheepdog. Many visitors arrive only to try leaving
with Tsange wrapping himself around their legs, as if rounding them up like sheep, so they
can’t walk any further. He’s ultimately saying that they are now in his pack and have to stay
with him in his den. The Mars/Venus yoga apparently makes him a shepherd and a
wrestler, a talent he exploits at all times when in mischievous mode.

From the first few weeks of bringing him home his personality and character impressed all
in the neighbourhood. His lagnesh in ninth shows a well behaved creature, and many
comment upon how well behaved he is, though clearly they don't live with his
mischievousness..................
He loves having lots of people around him, which can be forecast from his lagnesh in
Mithuna, an extrovert sign, combined with Mercury, Mithuna ruler, and L7 Mars which all
conspire to make him a truly friendly, sociable and well mannered being. The fact that the
Sun joins this combination emphasises a nature which is outgoing, sociable and of course
Venus gives a truly charming and affectionate streak which endears him to all he comes into
contact with. I often wonder if he was brought into the wrong household and might have
been better in one where many children were around to keep him entertained.

The Mithuna influence on lagnesh and Sun makes him very active and combined with Mars
he has an abundance of energy which he often comically displays when bored, as he ends up

chasing his tail around or suddenly pouncing on toys littering the floor and tossing them in

when I'm not too energetic he strains and tugs at his leash as if to tug me along to go at his
pace, and I often think if I could

with neighbours or kennels he hates
to see me go, but shows his delight at my return by jumping into my arms, licking every
millimetre of my face and neck with squeals and howls of delight and vibrant squirms and
wriggles of his body, with tail wagging till it looks likely to drop off.

I smile every time he eats his meals, for lagnesh in ninth gives good manners and believe
it or not, each time he goes to his dish to eat he gently takes out two or three morsels
and puts them on one side. I'm convinced he is saying these are for you, to acknowledge
appreciation that I always give him the last morsel on my plate. Not only that, after he has
eaten he always come up to me to nudge my leg as if to say thank you for that nice meal.

Who says dogs can't talk!

The ninth house is always where we see moral sensibility and Tsange taught me that dogs
also have a conscience. When he was quite young and we were play fighting, his teeth
caught my arm accidentally and I cried out ''ouch!'' in agony. Instead of continuing the fight,
which I expected him to do, he stopped in his tracks, nudged me and then lowered his head
and covered his eyes with his paws as though he couldn't bear to see me writhing in pain and
also felt guilty about being the cause of it. He has done this on several occasions since when
I’ve got accidentally hurt in our play fights and wrestling (Mars conjunct Mercury yoga
gives a fondness for wrestling), when he will also come up gently as though to see if there is
anything he can do to make things better.

Given that so far the analysis of his first house yields accurate descriptions of this little
terrier, is it possible that the Parasara yogas also will apply? Quick tours of some of the
yogas in the chart reveal some interesting correlations. Many Raj yogas exist elevating his
status in terms of success and recognition and status.

Will Raj Yogas in this chart be expressed in a dog’s life?

A mutual relationship exists between the lord of the 7th house Mars and 9th Mercury due to
them being conjoined. He also has L9 in ninth in its own sign which is a powerful yoga of
the first order, as is lord of Kendra Moon in fifth trikona.

394
I have already described how popular he is in the neighbourhood and well known, but the
fact he is featured in this online magazine also confirms that he has the ability to rise above
the run of the mill dog on every street corner. Also, he is featured on my own website where
he takes pride of place and is seen by all who visit the site.

He also has Phala Deepika’s Maha‐
Bhagya Yoga which elevates his
status and renown
(M B Y‐‐Daytime birth, Lagna,
Moon and Sun in odd signs Phala
Deepika 6/14).
The person is handsome, liberal,
widely renowned, of blameless
character, lord of lands, a king or
equivalent to king.
Though I have to confess the vixen often gets a
whimsical look from him, but then he does appeal to
females, and she too stops in her tracks if she can
see he is locked behind the fence, and she sits on
the middle of the huge lawns, gazing at him. I rather
believe she is not only admiring his illustrious,
handsome appearance, but is also recognising that
he is quite attracted to her.

Many significations in his chart show that he has kingly status, and it does seem rather
ironic that even before I got his chart set up I had already named him after a regal Chinese
Emperor Tsiange. Everyone always asks where he got his name from and I explain that not
only is he named after an emperor but he behaves like one as well. He has the little quirk of
being able to raise his nose in the air and look down it at anyone as though asserting the fact,
in spite of his small size, that he is superior and deserves to be acknowledged as the 'ruler.'

In addition he is lord of lands due to his residence having quite a generously large (enormous
really) garden which is often frequented by foxes, squirrels, hedgehogs, dormice and cats,
most of which he quickly chases off with gusto. Though I have to confess the vixen often
gets a whimsical look from him, but then he does appeal to females, and she too stops in her
tracks if she can see he is locked behind the fence, and she sits on the middle of the huge
lawns, gazing at him. I rather believe she is not only admiring his illustrious, handsome
appearance, but is also recognising that he is quite attracted to her. He tends to give only a
half hearted growl at her, and reserves his ferocious bark for her mate.

T he Gaja‐Kesari Yoga given by Jupiter in a Kendra

from Moon emphasises his illustriousness but also
makes him 'overpowering, virtuous, wealthy,
intelligent, scholarly, of royal bearing and enjoys lasting
fame.' The ability to learn and excel is truly revealed in the
fact that at only eight weeks old this dog knew the meanings
of and could respond to no less than eighteen words of the
English language. Not even a human baby has been known
to be so adept at early language acquisition. Even I was
stunned that he exhibited such fast capability to respond to my
commands.

Jupiter in Kendra to the Moon , especially inhibited by Saturn L4, gives comforts
but also distress to his biological mother who must have felt so sad at having her baby taken
away at only a few weeks old. Saturn L4 of mother is in eight house, prophesying this would
happen as eighth house is separation. Though perhaps Jupiter L6 (house of stepmother)

395
conjoined to L4, shows me, his stepmother, as hopefully a beneficial one, though of course I
can never truly take the place of his real mum.

The Voshi Yoga manifest in full capacity. This yoga occurs when any planet, except Moon,
is in twelfth from the sun. Both Jupiter and Saturn occupy this position, and aspect second
house of speech. The yoga bestows many qualities but the one which is most exhibited by
Tsange, due to second house aspect of Jupiter and Saturn is the ability to ‘exercise no
restraint of speech.' This dog can talk for the universe, notwithstanding the fact already
mentioned that he can learn words very quickly, he can also learn nuances, intonation and
emotional expression very eloquently.

explained that he was rather like my
daughter who would always argue back, talked till the 'cows came home' and would always
insist on having the last word. Tsange is just the same. It must be the way I bring them up,
or else before incarnation they find out about me and realise I’m an excellent tool for
assisting their vocals and speech in this lifetime.

Of course he can also give some short sharp barks due to Mars being conjoined L2 of voice,
and his most amazing ability of all is his howl whenever the phone rings. He sits next to it,
raises his mouth in the air, forms an ‘O’ shape with his lips and lets rip with a beautiful long
howling noise of melodic and soulful (L2 conjunct Sun for soul) quality obviously enhanced
by his Venus/Mercury connection in ninth.

The Voshi Yoga also gives a sharp memory which he exhibits in his capacity to remember
what time of day his walk should take place, and how many walks he is entitled to of course.
He can count to two, and knows when he either hasn't had the second walk or has missed
out on the first. He knows jolly well that first walk is around eight am and the second
should be at around 4pm but if he can train you to deliver one hour earlier, then he will rest

getting around to taking him out, and you can easily trip over him in this position, usually
across the doorway to whichever room you are in, just in case you try anything else other
than taking him out.

Another interesting yoga is his Vipareet Harsha Raja Yoga: The 6th lord is in the 6th, 8th or
12th house (Phala Deepika) or in Tsange’s case Jupiter L6 is in eighth house which confers
‘Happiness, health and fame.’ The person will conquer his/her enemies and will hesitate in
indulging in sinful deeds. Friends will be illustrious and with class. ‘‘Many of his doggy

him, and Charlie also a TT, who snapped at him and bit him the first time she saw him, and
he now has to spend his time in the corner whenever she visits my neighbours at the same
time as we do.

Big Max, Conquests and will a ‘Vile Murder’ be committed?

T he fact that he can conquer his enemies is revealed when he meets up with
Weimeraner Max who lives at the other end of the street.We call him Big Max.

Big Max is a beautiful chocolate colour with gorgeous blue eyes, and the softest nature you
could ever imagine. The thing is everyone falls in love with Big Max, which of course
arouses the jealousy of Mars conjunct Sun and L1 in Tsange’s chart, as well as the potential
of the Voshi Yoga.

To ensure that 'the enemy' gets

every evening. At this stage because
I don't know, due to only being
human, he manages to get me to let him out in the back garden, where he can prowl to his
hearts content. Within minutes of being allowed out late in the evening, Tsange will start
going berserk and barking in a frenzy, and I realise that once again I have allowed this little
terror to tyrannise Big Max, yet again. Poor Max is now exhibiting signs of clear distress
and hesitates before walking past our property, so afraid is he of Tsange.This little terrierist
can easily indulge in the 'conquering of foes' as he demonstrated one day whilst I was out
gardening, and Tsange was having a sun bathe and Big Max was walking past. Tsange woke
up with a startle and racing out of the garden in a frenzy he attacked Big Max, (who is four
times his size I might add) who responded with a soft wuff, retaliated and ended up gouging
a blood vessel in Tsange’s left eye. Not to be beaten, Tsange carried on barking but realised
he was injured so responded to my calls to stop and return home with me, giving Big Max a
warning growl and woof before doing so of course.

Ever since then, poor Max, in spite of injuring Tsange more than Tsange hurt him, is now
terrified of being attacked again, so walks past meekly hoping to never encounter the little
'terrierist' again.

397
Y
ou can see in the chart for the event that Mars aspects twelfth house of left eye,
warning of dangers to this part of the body. Transit Jupiter L6 of injuries is also in
twelfth house. Malefic transit of Venus L8 of accidents is conjunct Sun karaka for
eye.

Another conquest arrived some weeks later when we were calmly strolling across the golf
course one day. On this occasion it was more the Krurahatya Yoga (Sambu Hora Prakasha)
which came into force than the Voshi Yoga. The Krurahatya Yoga obtains when Mars and
Moon join in one and the same Navamsa (check his Navamsa), and gives the possibility 'the
person might commit a cruel murder.'

Tsange enjoys chasing rabbits but hasn't yet got the knack of understanding that they
cleverly do a swift right or left ninety degree turn off the path he is racing along, so that
once he has run hundreds of yards beyond their clever turn, he is left bewildered and very
puzzled as to how he could possibly

around and immediately gave chase,
except on this occasion there were
no bushes for the rabbit to turn into, so it ended up in Tsange's mouth. Would this terrierist
commit murder and give the final bite? All this happened in a flash but accompanied by my
screams to 'Stop! No! Stop ! Sit!' ..... He always obeys the sit command. Thank goodness!

398
I arrived breathless at the scene of the crime wondering whether the poor tiny furry lump
was alive or indeed murdered. Happily I saw a movement as it trembled with fear, about to
meet its doom, but I bent down to gently stroke it and saw only a few clumps of fur had
been lost, and no blood anywhere. I dragged Tsange away to watch the poor tiny creature
regain its breath and composure and run away as fast as it could, safely, towards the distant
hedgerow from which it had emerged in the first place. Thankfully this yoga only gives the
possibility of committing the murder, and I had managed to step in to prevent him getting a
blemished and less illustrious character.Amusingly I read (unknown source) the Trilochana
Yoga obtained when Sun, Moon, Mars are in trines from each other gives:
‘’Great wealth and high intelligence is bestowed upon the person, along with long life and
terror to his enemies.’’
The fact that this description uses the word ‘’terror,’’ and the yoga obtains in the chart of a
terrier, makes me wonder if the person who established this yoga didn’t also have a Tibetan
Terrier to observe it’s application and manifestation. The Vipareet Harsha Yoga (L6 in 8)
also gives him the ability to defeat his enemies making him a fierce little creature indeed
when the need arises. He will often protect me when out on a walk. If anyone comes within
my ‘space’ he will give a warning growl if he doesn’t know them or feels they might threaten
me in some way. It’s often amusing to see how muscle bound men will soon get off the path
to make way for us, when Tsange gives his warning that he is on guard.

How the Nodes become significator for Dogs

R ahu and Venus features strongly where dogs are

concerned and one girl I know who looks after dogs has
Rahu in seventh house Taurus, with Venus aspecting
from first house. Her business caring for dogs is thriving, and
her Ketu dasa is well underway since her teenage years, when
she started it.

Rahu is in tenth house of occupation in Tsanges’ chart, and L1 Venus is

in ninth of reputation so we can say that he has a reputation as being a dog for his career and
main form of activity/karma! L10 is in fifth so perhaps we can surmise he was also a dog in a
previous life, due to fifth being house of former incarnation. I always find it amusing that
Rahu is in tenth house of Prince Charles’s chart, and he shares his name with the gorgeous
little King Charles Spaniel, so the connection between Rahu and dogs is well evidenced.
Winston Churchill, the British PM during the last world war was also known as the
‘bulldog’ due to his fierce nature in war, and he has L10 Mercury in full aspect with Rahu.
Mercury is parivartana (mutual exchange) Venus (and Mars) also, reinforcing the Venus
Rahu connection for dogs.

Rahu ruling the house of career also gives a warning due to Rahu being significator for
thieves, which reminds me of the time when I put down a lovely evening TV meal on a
small table, when the phone rang in the other room....................................................needless to
say I didn’t have a meal to return to after the phone call...........................

I’m not sure which planets rule telepathy, mind to mind control and mind’s control over
matter, but this dog can lie silently on the floor behind me, as I cook a meal, and using
highly honed doggy powers, he can ‘will’ a tasty morsel off the chopping board and onto the
floor, knowing I’ll never pick it up and use it for human consumption. He usually ends up
399
with many a mouthful of food never intended for him through using this technique of mind
over matter.

A Dog with Nine Lives?

I do wonder if Tsange will be a dog in a future life due to Saturn, L5th and in eighth of
past present and future, showing that he will continue his doggy status past, present and
in a future incarnation.
He nearly lost his life recently due to some very impulsive behaviour. I had left him with a
neighbour for a few days, and whilst crossing the road Tsange decided my neighbour was
going too slowly so he slipped the lead he was on and ran over a busy road to meet his
girlfriend Sophie, a beautiful little Yorkshire Terrier. Of course he didn’t look to see if cars
were around, but no sooner had he crossed he turn back onto the road and was hit by a
passing vehicle. The vehicle hit his face, ran over his right paws front and back and bruised
his rib area.

See transit Mercury is L12 in same critical degree as Lagna, and is conjunct Lagna lord Venus
with which it is conjunct natally and at the time of the accident. L12 is house of loss and
death and I think that he was very lucky not to have been killed at this accident. Jupiter
rules sixth, Pisces, and so it his feet which give him much trouble in life, especially due to
natal Jupiter being in eighth house of distress. At the time of the accident transit Jupiter is in
third house of walking and roads, so he is destined to have an accident whilst walking across
the road. Transit Jupiter is opposite natal lagnesh Venus, bringing harm to the body, and see
that Sun, also representing body is with Venus natally, and at the time of the accident
transit Venus and Sun are in tenth house, conjunct natal Rahu, which also rules roads, but
also dogs, and Tsange is chasing after a lady dog at the time of his accident. Venus rules
eighth of accidents also, but also rules love and sex, so we can only add up the meanings to
tell what was on his mind at this event, when he nearly lost his life for the sake of love!
400
Transit Moon aspects transit Venus‐‐love and Rahu‐‐ dog, so we have his mind on the
doggy love of his life ‐‐Sophie. The fact that transit nodes are in opposite places to natal
position is also indicative of something major upsetting his life.

Fortunately he has survived this accident, but he does seem a little subdued and due to
transit Mars aspecting second house of mouth, he sustained a cut and bruised lip. He still
bears the scar on his lower lip but his other injuries are happily healing, and he seems to
have got off very lightly with no broken bone; thank goodness.

Notice also that Jupiter is in third of neighbours, and Tsange was walking with his
neighbour at the time. Jupiter in transit is retrograde so harms the houses it owns. Retro
Jupiter is harmful to sixth house of health, ruled by Pisces‐feet, and also rules and occupies
house of neighbours, third, and yes, this neighbour wasn’t particularly happy with him after
his naughty behaviour, so the neighbour was harmed very much at the time of the incident.

Sun rules eleventh natally, and at the time of the accident is in tenth from lagna. Eleventh is
eighth from fourth of cars, and so due to Sun L8 from fourth aspecting fourth as well as
lagnesh transit Venus, the emphasis on road accidents due to vehicle is heightened. Transit
Saturn in eighth from fourth also shows a sad event and harm to feet, due to aspect on natal
Jupiter with natal Saturn in house of distress from lagna.

Events and Physiology

There are many other charts for incidents in his life which can be read in the same way we
read a human chart and I leave you with some of them at the end of this article to enjoy
analysing for yourself. These charts are sure to be of use to many astrologers who also own
dogs, or who are given the charts of other animals to read.

A) 1 March 2004 approx 12.00 mid day Tsange is always scavenging and always picks up
debris thrown down by children, especially chocolate and sweets. Sadly I can’t always stop
him picking these up, and my neighbours feed him chocolate biscuits, which are very
harmful for dogs. His teeth got so bad he needed one out, and the dentist took our three
front lower teeth for reasons I shall never understand. Both Tsange and I were in mourning,
all week after the extractions, and I often feel he had his lovely smile surgically removed.

B) 1 July 2004 (no real time available for a specific start time, this was the day he was taken
to vets) I love taking Tsange on holiday, though he hates travel due to L4 in eighth house.
He got an ear infection one year and had to be left in kennels instead of coming to the
seaside. L 6 (ill health) transit Jupiter is in eleventh of ears, with malefic transit Saturn
aspecting eleventh, and conjunct transit and natal Sun L11.

C) When two big thorns got stuck in his paw I couldn’t get them out and knew they had to
be surgically removed by the vet, so Tsange had to be anaesthetised for this minor operation.
See transit Mars in eighth aspecting transit Jupiter, also see transit Moon in twelfth,
aspecting Pisces, showing his mind is very much on the paw itself and the injury to it.

402
D) 18 Sept 2003 mid‐day (actual time not know, but sometime around mid day.)Many dogs
get lumps, and while Tsange suffered with toothache and a bad tooth he developed a cyst,
the residue of toxins from the bad tooth before extraction. I asked the vet to remove the cyst
as it was causing him problems all the time, especially when out walking. See L1 Venus
transitting house 12 of confinement, while transit mars aspects it from fifth house. Notice 12
house is Virgo ruling hips, and the cyst was on the hip area of his body.

E) 25 Jan 11 am 2008: On this occasion Tsange ended up with one of the nails in his paw
being accidentally pulled off. It was very painful for him of course, but soon healed and grew
again. I’m not sure which sign or house to look at for all paws, but in the transits we can see

403
that transit Mars aspects Jupiter, ruler of Pisces, sign of paws, but oddly it is the right paw
which would seem to be the worse?

F) 18 Feb 14 45 2008 This chart of the time
when he ended up with a swollen back paw
shows transit Mars still aspecting transit
Jupiter, ruler of Pisces on sixth of ill
health. The fact that natal Jupiter is in
eighth from lagna and conjoins malefic
natal Saturn gives a warning that he will
always suffer with paws.
making for better bonding and relating to
the dog and a happier relationship.
Hopefully more astrologers will now set
up charts for animals and help owners
understand that these creatures also have a
destiny written in star language which can
help us humans respect and know them
better in future.
