Year of the Pig猪 (Zhū) · Sign #12 of 12 · yin

Pig-born have the warmest hearts in the zodiac. They give freely, forgive readily, and find joy in simple pleasures — good food, good company, good rest. The Western connotation of 'pig' is unfair here; in Chinese culture, the Pig is associated with prosperity, abundance, and contentment.

They're sincere to a fault. They don't play games, don't manipulate, don't keep tally. This makes them trustworthy and beloved — and occasionally vulnerable to those who do play games. They benefit from learning to recognise (and step away from) people who exploit their generosity.

The Pig's shadow is over-indulgence. Their love of pleasure can drift into excess — food, comfort, spending, avoidance of unpleasant tasks. They benefit from disciplined practices that anchor them: regular exercise, financial planning, and one or two friends who give honest feedback when needed.
