ITS ELEMENT AND THE CYCLE
Pig carries Water as its fixed element, its baseline temperament. On top of that, every time the Pig comes around again (once every twelve years), the year adds an element that rotates between Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth, completing a sixty-year cycle. That is why no two Pig are alike: a Fire Pig does not vibrate the same as a Water one.
WHO IT MATCHES WITH
Affinity between animals is a guide, not a verdict. Two signs that clash can work beautifully once the full charts are understood.
YEARS OF THE PIG
Remember that the Chinese year begins on Chinese New Year (late January or February). If you were born in those first days of the year, your animal may be the previous one. The calculator sorts it out for you.
The Pig is one layer of you. Your birth chart holds the rest.
The Chinese zodiac speaks of the year you were born. Your Western birth chart adds your Sun, your Moon, your Rising and all your planets for a far finer portrait.
