Pig

Unlike what many people might think, Chinese tradition attributes a plethora of positive qualities onto the year of the Pig, almost matching those given to the Dragon. The Pig (or Boar) is the sign of prosperity. On an amusing note, many astrologers substantiate claims that the pig is not half-witted by the very fact that it spends most of its time sleeping and eating...

In truth, there is a certain scent of magic that gears the people born in the year of the Pig to attract good fortune, that is, they benefit from a series of boons that are not a result of effort and work on the Pig’s part.
Unconsciously, they realize this and are aware of the power they wield and because of this too, they often assume an uncaring stance and an apparent narrow-minded philosophy to life and their environment. But this is just a facade. In fact, what actually happens is that they keep their goals close to their chest until the moment comes to lay their cards onto the table for all to be amazed.

They are also much more active than they seem and there are those who say that as soon as they decide to act, the response is swift. The Pig’s major shortcoming is a psychological one and has to do with its pronounced susceptibility to criticism and humiliation.

They are not really seen as fighters because if obstacles and difficulties become too hot to handle, their morale breaks and so too their confidence.
In instances of crises, astrologers recommend that Dog’s should act with forethought and that they should make an effort not to depend on the opinion of others.
If all else fails they can count on their good luck to make an appearance again.
