A company in China has banned certain applicants from applying for jobs based on astrological concerns. Everyone who was born in the Year of the Dog has been barred from working for the company. The reason? The boss of this company was born in the Year of the Dragon. According to the Chinese zodiac, two signs positioned opposite each other on the cycle do not go along well and can cause problems for the other.&nbsp;

Chinese zodiac calendar is divided into 12 years, with each year being assigned to an animal. This cycle repeats itself every 12 years. Those signs that fall opposite to each other are seen as opposing.

South China Morning Post reported that people responsible for the hiring process believe that applicants born under the canine Chinese zodiac sign will bring bad luck to the boss of the firm who is a dragon. The salary on offer for the job at Sanxing Transportation based in southern China’s Guangdong Province was&nbsp;3,000 to 4,000 yuan (US$420 - US$550) per month, half of the average salary in the province.
