The Pig holds 12th and last position in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese horoscope. The Pig is a gentle and long-suffering sign. Those people born into Pig years learn the lesson of ‘resignation,’ they can accept others, and understand that human nature is controlled by fate and that a higher power is at work. The Pig is a clever but passive observer rather than an active participant throughout life. Pigs are profoundly wise and possess a unique sense of dry humor. However, seldom will they apply their intelligence to gain dominance. Kind yet strong of will, those people into the Pig year are sincere, tolerant, and honest. Famous for being thoughtful and well informed, the Pig chooses few friends, remaining loyal for life. Through good times, and especially the bad times, friends can always count on a Pig to be there. Pigs relish long-standing relationships and are openhearted and affectionate.

Peaceful Pigs recoil from hostilities and have trouble saying no. The quickly agreeing Pig forgives easily and takes blame unduly. From 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. is the most favorable time of day for people born into Pig years. These are the hours when the yin force increases in strength and families settle in for a sound night of rest. As the cycle of the day attracts to a close, the Pig plans the day’s happenings and blissfully dozes off, listening to the silent voice of their heart.

The Essential Pig Temperament

The Pig hates phoniness, lying, hypocrisy, and all forms of unkindness. These people love the comforts of life, especially adequate love. If they have an Achilles’ heel, it would have to be a faintness for the sensual pleasures of life. Here we find the charm of an individual, mature, stable, and longsuffering to a fault. Possessing empathy, intelligence, and careful attention to detail, in every way, the Pig is a ‘keeper.’ People born into the Pig year have a strong need to set tough goals and see them through.

Emotional therapy can be found in sitting amidst the forest, reading the poetry of John Muir, or a walk along the beach.

The Dark Side of Pig Nature

In opposite to their many marvelous qualities, unenlightened Pigs can be self-indulgent, passive, and slothful. The Pig’s seeming passivity and capability to take people as they find them is many times used as an excuse to avoid making decisions. The Pig’s hunt for earthly pleasures can also blindside them and lead them down a destructive way to debauchery and licentiousness. The Pigs may intentionally choose hard or neurotic partners. Expressed in its dimmest form, the Pig’s energy becomes defenselessness, extreme naiveté, a lack of competitive spirit, practicality, and over-reliance on material comforts. The choice lies entirely with the individual. Taken to extreme, obsessive-compulsive tendencies and panic disorders may develop.

But if the Pig born date is closer to the lunar New Year, the more likely it is that the Pig will be fooled or betrayed.
