Ancient cultures have always looked to the sky as a timekeeping device. Just as the Sun's motion throughout the zodiac marks changes throughout the year, the Moon's motion throughout the night sky marks the changes throughout the month. The Lunar Mansions are determined by the position of the Moon as she circles the Earth. Taking her average motion of 12° 51' and 26" and dividing that by the 360°s of the zodiac, we arrive at the 28 distinct positions the Moon can occupy in the sky on any given night. As a central time keeping device, the Lunar Mansions were popularly used in astrology and magic with each Mansion having its own properties, characteristics, and effects as well as assigned images/symbols/animals.

According to Chinese astrology and Feng Shui, the Lunar Mansion is ruled by the Four Constellations (Green Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise and Crimson Phoenix) with 7 Sky Animals belonging to one of the Constellations. Hence there are 28 Sky Animals in all, each ruling a day in a 28-day cycle. Each Sky Animals carries its own traits and meanings and rules everything to do with good timing and destiny from the heavens above for specific kinds of good fortune.

The Sky Dog is the 2nd animal of the White Tiger Constellation. Days ruled by this Cosmic Dog are great for promoting harmony among family members, for getting married, for starting on construction of any kind and for creating the kind of energy to make people around you more agreeable.

Superiors and subordinates will give you the respect and support that you need. Display the Auspicious Sky Dog in your home to awaken the power of the Lunar Mansions.
