Who says your pets don't have personalities? Just like you, your pets also have their own personality traits. No two pets have the same personality. Any pet owner can tell you that! So, the question here is whether these personality traits are influenced by the signs that they were born under.

Logically, that is quite an acceptable idea. After all, animals have been around on this planet for much longer than Man has. Besides which, if the planets and signs affect us humans, then why not our pets? They too are influenced by the same forces as we are. And they too have their own significant personality traits.

You can search the Internet and find a variety of sites giving you your pet's horoscope, as they are not a mysterious thing. They are just simple astrological calculations that are made from the point of view of a pet.

So what would most pet horoscopes talk about? And what is the basis of finding out your pet's sign?

The process is simple really. Your pet's sign would be based on his date of birth. That would be the sun sign, of course. If you want to go into lucid details, one would make a Natal chart in very much the same way as one would for a human being - based on the date, time and place of birth - this one would be more detailed.

For now, let's just stick to the sun signs. These pet horoscopes would help you understand your pet better and you would gain a lot of clarity about why they do what they do. This might help you understand your pet so much better, and thus help build a long-lasting, companionable relationship with your pet.
