Answer: (confused on how this is AP but kinda fun)
1. Aries
2. independent, adventurous, passionate, competitive, impulsive
3. Yes, because I like to do things by myself and at times am quite spontaneous. I am definitely competitive athletically and academically and I love to travel.
4. Dog
5. loyal, protective, sensitive, honest, reserved, responsible, hardworking, stubborn
6. The myth of the Chinese zodiac tells the story of a race among twelve animals, with the Dog finishing in 11th. But the Dog is praised for its loyalty and honesty in helping the Rooster cross a river, which shows the Dog's protective and trustworthy nature that is also reflected in its zodiac traits. This myth also shows the Dog's reserved nature as it quietly helps the Rooster without seeking recognition or reward for its actions.
7. Somewhat, not all the traits are very accurate. I would agree that I am protective and hardworking the most. And maybe a little stubborn and reserved at times.
8. Fire. It is associated with independence, loyalty, impulsivity, determination, protective nature, confidence
9. I find impulsivity, determination, and independence to be the most accurate.
10. An Aries is usually independent, bold, and impulsive, while a Dog sign person is loyal, honest, and protective. These traits can work well together and with the fire element, which symbolizes passion, can enhance both Aries and Dog traits.
But, there are some contradictions like how an Aries' impulsiveness goes completely against a Dog's cautiousness.
11. Because the Western zodiac is more specific, I find it much more accurate than the Chinese zodiac. I'm not superstitious by any means, but I do think it is a fun way to identify some key characteristics about yourself.
