Aztec, one of the most importants civilizations in the history, have left such a huge legacy about the readings of the Stars in astronomy and astrology. They believed God protects and give us a protection animal, which also determines our character.
They created a whole explanation about how the day of our born determines our character and our destiny. This is what we now know as the Aztec Horoscope or the Aztec Zodiac.

They are ruling individuals who protect and sacrifice their own interests for the good of others.

The natives of the Dog are considered warm, alert and courageous people, and if they find the right mission in life to be faithful, they can achieve great things. They love being part of the teams and, often, they are the leaders. Among the Mayans, the dog is considered a strong sexual sign and, paradoxically, despite its religious loyalty, it's considered to be inclined to sexual getaways.
