The Pig Personality

Born with a naturally patient and cheerful disposition, The Pig is an outgoing, jovial character who is able to brighten up and encourage anyone he or she meets.  Pig people are by nature kind and caring, with an easygoing manner that belies their resilience and tenacity. Honest as the day is long, they expect others to be just as sincere as they are - which contributes to the Pig's special charm but which also gives people born under this sign a trusting, almost wide-eyed naivety when it comes to dealing with others.

BASIC CHARACTER

The chief characteristics of people born under the sign of the Pig are shown in the panel (above). Always considerate, the Pig is ready to drop whatever he or she may be doing and run to the assistance of anyone in need. Because Pigs are so generous they give willingly of their time and money to help those less fortunate than themselves. Sometimes people take advantage of their exceptionally good natures but they seldom bear a grudge and always give others chance after give others chance after chance to redeem themselves. More than anything, these people like harmony and detest discord and will go to great lengths to overlook or excuse bad manners and crass behavior or to smooth other people's ruffled feathers. However, if put upon too often, even this normally easygoing individual will draw the line and begin to get angry. A Pig in a rage is not a pretty sight!

Pig people can be taken advantage of and certainly taken for granted, as they are so trustworthy and entirely dependable. By nature they are more at east giving than receiving and are always happy to share - although this works both ways, and they do not realise that some people are more possessive than they are and have no wish to share back.

 

Metal Pig

Year: 1911 &  1971

Water Pig

Year: 1923 & 1983

 

 

 The influence of Water makes the generous, kind Pig infinitely malleable and too trusting for his or her own good. Nevertheless, these elemental Pigs are adept at dealing with people and have a gift for divining what is going on in other people's mind. As a result, although they are easily influenced, they can also be highly persuasive with others. By nature helpful and kind , they like to be of service.

Year: 1947 & 2007

Earth Pig

Year: 1959 & 2019

 

 

 Easygoing and sensible, the solid Earth Pig is bound to happy in his or her family and with his or her circumstances - in fact, with life in general. Earth bestows upon this patient and reliable creature a strong practical bent, so that Earth Pigs take a methodical approach to organizing their affairs. This kind of Pig is successful at work without needing to be right at the top of the ladder - although he or she is not without ambition and can also be astute in financial matters. However, the Pig's love of a pleasant social life, with plenty of good food and drink, is still present in the Earth Pig's makeup and some Earth Pigs need to battle with tendency to overindulge.

The Pig Lover

In the Orient, the Pig is regarded as a symbol of contentment and good fortune. And in general Pigs can be describe a happy, good-natured and satisfied with their lot. Of all the Animals in the Chinese horoscope, they are perhaps the ones most suited to married life and they function at their best when attached to a doting partner. Warm and loving, Pig-born people give their affection generously, adoring the physical proximity of another body to snuggle up to.

It is said that Pig-born folk possess health libidos, that they revel in sex and can be physically demanding between the sheets. Many are promiscuous in their younger years and some can develop a rather earthy or bawdy side to their natures, tending, if uncontrolled, towards lasciviousness.

It may not be the grand passion that drives the Pig into marriage but more the promise of companionship and security. When Pigs decide to settle down they make a loyal partner, caring and considerate of the one they love. They seek harmony in a relationship and avoid confrontations like the plague, preferring to go with the flow. As they sink into a hot bath - all Pigs adore the sensual luxury of bathing - they should take a deep breath and count their blessing.

 

The Pig Lover Partner

Most people warm to those born in the year of the Pig, and many suit them as a partner. But a  few cant stand that easy manner and love of luxury.

The Pig at Health

Although people born under the sign of the Pig are generally robust, their tendency toward self-indulgence and a life of sedentary habits can lean to health problems. The stomach and intestines are the Pig's vulnerable spots and Pigs need to watch a tendency to put on weight and should make a point of taking exercise. Like the Rabbit and the Sheep, Pigs love peace and harmony and they are gregarious and love company. Loneliness or an unsettled lifestyle will play havoc with Pig's health

 

The Pig at Home

Being a sensualist, the Pig's home is warm, deeply comfortable and inviting. Impressing others is very important to Pig people and this means getting the decor just so, but Pigs should guard against showiness. At their most creative in their own home, they can turn the smallest shack into a palace. But they can also be a paradox - sometimes working until they drop, sometimes so sedentary that an earthquake couldn't prise them off the sofa. So though Pig people create beautiful things when it comes to housework they may not be quite so assiduous.

 

The Pig at Work

These adaptable and easygoing folk are suited to a wide range of occupations, although they particularly excel in the creative professions. They tackle jobs methodically and enthusiastically, without making a fuss about it and are always willing to take on a good load and to help colleagues who are under pressure or in a  jam. This earns them the liking of the people they work with and makes them good in a team. Pigs also have an attention to detail that earns them the reputation for fine workmanship.
