Dog Zodiac Signs: What Their Sign Says About Them, 2025 Horoscopes and More

You probably know your own zodiac sign, but do you know your dog’s zodiac sign—and why might you want to? Dog astrology signs can provide insight into what makes your pet tick, and knowing more about your dog’s personality can help you better care for them.

People have long stared at the stars and planets in the sky and tried to figure out their own place in the cosmos. Astrologers, in particular, examine the positions of the planets at a given time and use that information to determine an individual’s personality traits based on their birth date. Based on a person’s or pet’s astrological sign, astrologers can predict a great deal about their character and potential as well as their weaknesses and how to resolve them. Astrology can also give us insight into current issues, the timing of events, and our compatibility with the important people—or pets—in our lives.

Is your dog an attention-loving Leo, a rebel Aquarius, or an energetic Aries? Read on to learn about the dog zodiac signs, what your dog’s astrological sign says about them, and their 2025 horoscope, provided by celebrity astrologer Lisa Stardust.

Aries (March 21–April 19)

Element:
Fire

Ruler:
Mars

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so it’s no surprise that these pets are born leaders. Male or female, these alphas love action and excitement. They tend to be ambitious and courageous, and they thrive on being the boss. Mars-ruled canines are independent, driven, and determined. They might insist on walking you rather than the other way around. They have a mind of their own and don’t necessarily come when they’re called (though recall training can help). On the plus side, they have a big heart and a loving spirit that is irresistible and contagious.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs

Strengths

  • Tons of energy
  • Love to exercise and be outdoors
  • Fun personality

✨ 2025 Horoscope ✨

“Your Aries pup’s confidence is at a high this year, allowing them to rule the dog park and pups in their pack. But there’s danger if they get too cocky. Their sensitive ego may easily be crushed by salty vibes when their bestie plays, canoodles, and wrestles with another. Just reassure them: It is not that serious.” —Lisa Stardust

Taurus (April 20–May 20)

Element:
Earth

Ruler:
Venus

You can sum up a Taurus in one word: cozy! Born in the spring when the ground is lush and warmed by the sun, the Taurus is sensual, earthy, and natural. They are also practical, dependable, and hardworking, with a deep love of nature and beauty. Like their human counterparts, Taurus canines can be strong-willed and don’t like change. (Think twice before moving their water or food bowl.) They might also dislike exercise, but they still need it; make sure they have a regular routine. Taurus pups thrive on creature comforts in a physical environment that is quiet and safe. They have a loving disposition and are extremely loyal.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs

  • Cancer
  • Capricorn
  • Pisces

Strengths

  • Affectionate
  • Dependable
  • Loves to snuggle

✨ 2025 Horoscope ✨

“It is essential that your dog is able to claim their own space at home. Put their toys in the corner or room they love to ensure no one but them squats there. Doing so will make your pup feel like they have a place to de-stress and relax that belongs to them, without any outside noise.” —Lisa Stardust

Gemini (May 21–June 20)

Element:
Air

Ruler:
Mercury

Ruled by Mercury, the Gemini sign is associated with communication, information, speaking, and media. Gemini dogs are usually vocal. They are busy and on the move, so they have a lot to bark about. Like their human counterparts, Gemini canines tend to be super smart and highly curious, which can lead to both fun and mischief. Their personality can change from calm to wild at the drop of a biscuit. But they have a comic quality that is thoroughly charming and will keep you entertained—and on your toes.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs

  • Aries
  • Aquarius
  • Libra

Strengths

  • Curious
  • Smart
  • Loves to play

✨ 2025 Horoscope ✨

“Rather than lazing about inside, this year your pup will experience a surge of motivation that urges them to explore the outside world (with you by their side, of course). By summer and beginning of fall, you will be plotting ways to take your pet off their routine walking route to indulge their wanderlust sentiments.” —Lisa Stardust

Cancer (June 21–July 22)

Element:
Water

Ruler:
Moon

Cancer is a water sign, motivated by emotion rather than logic, which makes them sensitive, compassionate, and intuitive. Born when the sun is highest, they possess a quiet but intrinsic power and move at their own speed. Cancer canines love their naps and snacks. Loud noises can be upsetting to them; they thrive best in safe, cozy surroundings with people they love. Best of all, they’re deeply devoted to and protective of their human parents.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs

  • Taurus
  • Virgo
  • Pisces

Strengths

  • Sweet disposition
  • Intuitive

✨ 2025 Horoscope ✨

“PSA: Do not hold back on TLC in 2025. Snuggling up to your pup will bring you both comfort and joy. Feeling loved 24/7 will give your dog the zest they need to sustain the positive vibes in their life. In return, they’ll offer loyalty and support to those they care about.” —Lisa Stardust

Leo (July 23–August 22)

Element:
Fire

Ruler:
Sun

Leo is the sign of the king, queen, performer, and lion. They are proud beings who are born to rule and to shine, and they love being the center of attention. Naturally charismatic, they exude warmth, vitality, and power. Leo canines don’t like competition; they prefer being the main character in a household that worships them and caters to their every need. They might also adore being groomed and pampered and look forward to a trip to the doggy spa. Whether out on a hike or strolling through downtown, these celebrity pups will make you look like a star.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs

  • Libra
  • Gemini
  • Sagittarius

Strengths

  • Demonstrative
  • Entertaining
  • Self-assured

✨ 2025 Horoscope ✨

“Go ahead: Strut your fluff and flaunt your furry self around the park. You’re gaining popularity and fandom from humans who think you are perfect and beautiful.

Virgo (August 23–September 22)

Element:
Earth

Ruler:
Mercury

Virgos get a bad rap. They are said to be critical, obsessive, and overly analytical. The truth? They care a great deal and just want things to be perfect. They are extremely dedicated and hardworking, with high ideals, great integrity, and a love of service. Like Geminis, they are ruled by mind planet Mercury, so Virgo pups know how to communicate, whether it’s with their bark, their actions, or a serious look. They do best with order and routines: same food, same time of day. They also often love being clean and groomed.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs

  • Taurus
  • Capricorn
  • Scorpio

Strengths

  • Clean
  • Takes direction well
  • Quick learners

✨ 2025 Horoscope ✨

“In 2025, expect your pup to be very demure, very mindful. They’re stepping away from drama and focusing on themselves. With training and extra bonding time, you can help them learn to trust their instincts and lead with their heart, two things that don’t tend to come easily to the pragmatic Virgo brain. As long as you surround your pup with positive vibes, you’ll both be golden.” —Lisa Stardust

Libra (September 23–October 22)

Illustration of a dog with a Libra symbol to indicate their dog zodiac sign

Element:
Air

Ruler:
Venus

Ruled by romantic Venus, Libra is the sign of love and marriage. Their goal is to create harmony, beauty, and tranquility, so it’s no surprise this sign is associated with the artist, the lover, and the diplomat. Libras are known for their charm and have the gift of sensing what others need. Venus-ruled canines have appealing personalities and can become deeply attached to other pets and humans. They often prefer company over being alone and tend to follow their humans around. They can become uncomfortable in a stressful or chaotic environment and value peace and quiet over action and adventure.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs

  • Leo
  • Gemini
  • Aquarius

Strengths

  • Calming presence
  • Social
  • Poised

✨ 2025 Horoscope ✨

“If your pup doesn’t have furry besties already, this is the year to encourage them to buddy up. They won’t feel alone with their fellow critters, who’ll stand by them through thick and thin. If someone barks at your pup rudely, their pals won’t hold back in defending their honor. With friends like these, your dog won’t have enemies.” —Lisa Stardust

Scorpio (October 23–November 21)

Element:
Water

Ruler:
Pluto

Scorpios are known for being mysterious—and that’s often true, but it’s really about intensity with this sign. Scorpios know that life is tenuous and live more passionately as a result. They are the shamans and psychologists of the zodiac, exploring deep subjects and living on the edge. Like Scorpio humans, Scorpio canines are private, tend to make serious eye contact, and seem to be able to read your thoughts. They love being loyal to one person. It takes them a while to build trust, but when they do, you have a friend and an ally for life.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs

  • Cancer
  • Capricorn
  • Pisces

Strengths

  • Independent
  • Devoted
  • Magnetic personality

✨ 2025 Horoscope ✨

“This year, it is extremely important for your Scorpio dog to keep boundaries with others. They might be more prone to losing their temper than usual and may forget their manners. Training and bonding with your pup can help them feel secure, minimize stressful interactions, and keep that trademark intensity in check.” —Lisa Stardust

Sagittarius is the symbol of the traveler, the philosopher, and the student. For them, life is a daring adventure. They are known for their big dreams, big personalities, and love of travel. Sagittarius canines often need room to roam and can feel anxious when they’re forced to stay indoors. They are happiest being outside as much as possible. They have colorful and comical personalities and often make superb travel companions.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs

Strengths

Don’t worry—they just need to take a stand to find out who makes them happy and commit to the friendship.” —Lisa Stardust

Ruler:
Saturn

Capricorns are associated with responsibility, authority, and power. Ruled by serious Saturn, Capricorns are known for their drive, determination, and strong work ethic. Their symbol is the mountain goat; they have ambitious goals and are not afraid to work hard to climb to the top. Capricorn pooches aren’t lazy, either. In fact, they come alive when they have an opportunity to learn a new task or skill. They tend to follow orders and love to complete their duties. They’re often great guard dogs and babysitters, and they might even keep other pets and family members in line.

✨ 2025 Horoscope ✨

“Is your dog’s mood a reflection of their inner projections? In 2025, their outlook will evolve, allowing them to focus on having a more optimistic vibe.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18)

Illustration of a dog with an Aquarius symbol to indicate their dog zodiac sign

Element:
Air

Ruler:
Uranus

Aquarius is the sign of the rebel and the non-conformist. These individuals are smart as a whip, strong-willed, rational, and eccentric. Aquarius people and pets alike march to their own beat and make their own rules. Governed by eccentric Uranus, they can be unpredictable at times. They love change and hate being bored. Aquarian canines are always ready for a new toy, trick, or getaway. They might not be warm and cuddly, but they can be extremely social and outgoing with people and other pets. In fact, no one makes a better or more loyal friend than these zany canines.

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs

  • Highly intelligent
  • Curious about new things and people

✨ 2025 Horoscope ✨

“It is not that your dog needs more toys, but this year, they’ll sure want more toys to keep around their bed. The reason? They feel better having some material objects to enrich their life. Remember, money won’t buy them happiness, so embrace and reciprocate the tenderness you receive from them.” —Lisa Stardust

Neptune

Ruled by inspirational Neptune, Pisces governs the invisible and unseen world of inspiration and imagination. These are the dreamers, mystics, and musicians of the zodiac. Deeply sensitive and highly intuitive, they need space and quiet. Pisces canines are gentle souls—kind and caring to a fault. They love being close to their humans, sometimes even following them around and sleeping under the covers. They also sense your moods, which is why they often make excellent therapy dogs. Dozing in a sunny spot with some chill music is their happy place.
