Years of the Pig
Last in the cycle, Pig Years follow the Dog Years and recur every
twelfth year. The Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific
date, so it is essential to check the calendar to find the exact
date on which each Pig Year actually begins.

THE SIGN OF THE PIG
"Its better to give than to receive" would probably be the Pigs
motto. Pigs are more comfortable giving of their own time or
attention than they are to ask others for it. They do not find
asking for help an easy task and would rather carry the burden
themselves. Pigs will do anything they can to maintain a sense of
peace amongst family or friends. This can lead to a tendency to be
taken advantage of, but Pigs basically forgive and forget
everything. They are compassionate souls who simply want to keep
the peace.

5-year cycle of characteristics on the original 12-year
cycle.
THE METAL PIG 1911 AND 1971
Outspoken and confident, Metal Pigs give 110% for everything they
do. They throw themselves into relationships with others
completely, sometimes to a fault. These Pigs are headstrong and
diligent in the workplace, honest and caring in a relationship and
trustworthy with everyone he meets unless given reason not to be.
Metal Pigs usually give people more credit than they deserve but
when challenged can be a hard nut to crack.
THE WATER PIG 1923 AND 1983
Water Pigs go with the flow and usually trust people before they
truly know them. This, of course, can get them into trouble because
they are often to trusting for their own good. Water Pigs are quite
easily influenced; yet, can be very persuasive when it comes to
getting what they want. These people love parties and social
situations and enjoy giving of themselves to help others.
THE WOOD PIG 1935 AND 1995
Wood Pigs are strong-minded individuals who give of themselves
continuously. They have hearts of gold and wont take no for an
answer from a friend in need. These Pigs are practical,
down-to-earth and industrious people, always looking for the next
project to take on. They enjoy working in groups and work well with
other people.
THE FIRE PIG 1947 AND 2007
Active, outgoing and extroverted, Fire Pigs breathe new life into
everything they do. These Pigs are vivid, motivated individuals who
cannot be deterred from a goal once they have set it. They are
emotional and passionate about their loved ones, their occupations
and their objectives. They are bold and vivacious, unafraid to take
risks despite the consequences. They make great bosses because they
do work so hard and because they are so spirited. But dont
doublecross a Fire Pig. They have the ability to be quite abrasive
when things dont turn out as they planned.
THE EARTH PIG 1959 AND 2019
Laid back and reliable, Earth Pigs are at their happiest at home
with their families. They are organized and pragmatic, preparing a
strategy for every project they take on. They are fruitful at work
and are content being one of the employees. Even so, Earth Pigs may
compensate for this by asking for more money at review time. These
Pigs love a good time and so may overindulge at times.
The fire pig is the best of all pigs. Babies born in the year of
the Fiery pig will be intelligent (pigs are intelligent *doh*),
active, bold, spirited and passionate, yet humble.
Time to have sex and give birth to nice piglets.
