Year of the Pig 猪

Your nature

You meet life with an openness that makes others feel instantly at ease, your generosity flowing as naturally as your enjoyment of a good meal or a lazy afternoon. There is a sincerity in your affection that people remember long after you’ve left the room, a warmth that doesn’t perform. But this same trust in the world’s goodwill can leave you vulnerable, your belief that everyone shares your decency sometimes mistaken for naivete. You indulge — in comfort, in company, in the pleasures that make life sweet — and that indulgence can blur into excess when you resist the less pleasant edges of reality.

A Yin sign — inward-receptive, reflective, absorbing: your strength is quieter, drawn from within.

Your element

Each animal comes in five elemental sub-types — the same sign, re-coloured. Tap through the five.

Your lucky set

Tradition, not instruction — the colours and signs folklore ties to the Pig.

Compatibility

The full Chinese system — allies, your secret friend, your clash and your harm. Tap any animal on the wheel to see its relationships.
