7 PM – 9 PM (the Dog hour — early night guard, unwavering watch)
The Dog is the eleventh animal — the sign of loyalty, moral instinct, and the friend who shows up. Dogs are the ones you can call at 3 AM. If the Rooster announces truth, the Dog quietly enforces it — by being reliably present when it matters and by refusing to abandon the person they've chosen.
Loyalty
Your people are your people. Betrayal is unthinkable — you'd sooner suffer than abandon them.
Moral instinct
You know what's right, quickly and reliably. Ethics aren't intellectual for you; they're gut-level.
Protective
You'll defend the vulnerable — friends, family, strangers even. The Dog's protection instinct is wide.
Fairness
You treat people equitably and expect the same back. This makes you trustworthy in institutions.
Faithful service
When you commit to a cause, a job, or a person, you're all in. Your work has a signature of devotion.
Anxiety
You worry constantly. The Dog's alertness under stress becomes chronic hypervigilance.
Pessimism
You expect the bad thing. Sometimes you're right; sometimes you helped it happen by expecting it.
Suspicion of new people
You take a long time to trust. New friends have to earn what you'd give an old one automatically.
Moralism
The moral instinct can tip into self-righteousness. You judge harder than you know.
Self-sacrifice as martyrdom
You'll give past your capacity and then resent people for accepting.
