Can people born in the year of the dog get married?

General Overview

The so-called Benmingnian is the year of one's zodiac sign in the lunar calendar, commonly known as the zodiac year. For those who were born in the Year of the Dog, 2018 is their zodiac year. In traditional customs, the year of one’s birth is often considered an unlucky year. Getting married in one’s birth year is considered “offending Tai Sui”, which often affects the relationship between the couple. Therefore, most people believe that the year of one’s birth is not a suitable year for marriage.

Zhouyi Theory

Among the twelve Earthly Branches, Zhouyi believes that Haihai (pig), Chenchen (dragon), Youyou (rooster), and Wuwu (horse) are self-inflicted, and self-inflicted punishment means that one cannot get along with oneself. The twelve Earthly Branches also happen to correspond to the four Chinese zodiac signs of Pig, Dragon, Rooster and Horse, so getting married in one's birth year is like committing "self-inflicted punishment", which will bring bad luck and misfortune, and of course, bad luck in marriage and after marriage. Therefore, Zhouyi believes that except for these four zodiac signs, the remaining eight zodiac signs can marry freely in their birth year.
