A bunny key chain charm my friend gave me because apparently this year is bad for those born of the Year of the Dog, and need bunny charms to help with... luck or whatever.

Bunnies are always charming. My Cadbury is bouncing around at my feet right now.

I am curious about why it is said that this is supposed to be a bad year. I was born in Year of the Dog as well.

Oh, I’ll preface with I’m not entirely superstitious so I didn’t really read all the details about this year’s zodiac.

Long story short, of the Chinese zodiac, you always have a “bad” year when it’s your host year. Changes, accidents, that sort of thing. To pre-empt accidents, make yourself see blood first: go donate blood, or go to the dentist for teeth cleaning (scaling?). Then there are charms to carry and for the Dogs, Rabbits can help this year. Try to minimize traveling, that sort of thing.

If I recall correctly, other signs that also aren’t going to have a good time this year are Oxes and Rams.

To be really superstitious, then a person can go to a temple and give offerings to a god or the “star” that’s giving you bad luck.

Haha, in truth, to me it’s all hocus pocus, I don’t really believe in all that crap, but I don’t mind carrying a bunny charm, so that’s the extent that I’d go to “rectify” my luck. It’s also sort of a topic of conversation over here. “Oh! You’re this? Be careful! Don’t do that, try going to that temple!” LOL. It’s all silly.

Don’t be too worried about the “bad” year for Dogs. Like other zodiacs and horoscope, just don’t take it seriously.
