Chinese Zodiac: The Pig

The Pig is popular and loyal -- once a friend, they'll be with you for life!

The Pig’s personality

Pigs can be stubborn, but they will give in for the sake of peace. A Pig is happy to share what he or she has but needs to be the one taking the initiative in giving and wants to be rewarded for it. Sensual and energetic, she is persuasive and perceptive. The Pig sees and remembers everything.

Pigs love the truth and will try to look at things from both sides in order to find it. They can’t lie, and so it is not always easy to live with them -- they tell it like it is, every time. They are always trying to strike a balance between what is the right thing to do for themselves and for others. But if you have lied to them once, they will not even consider your opinion again. They are full of wisdom and can discuss anything, since they have checked it all out before they speak. You can trust their knowledge -- they approach things scientifically, with everything being checked in detail. But because of their devotion to the truth above all else, they can be overly critical of others and turn away potential friends.

The Pig in love

The Pig woman in love: These women enjoy life, and love is a great game for them. They are more charming than the male Pig. They are good listeners but enjoy talking and cuddling too. Elegant dressers, Pig women are reserved but warmhearted. You can seduce them with affection and a love of family. They make great mothers, but they don’t like their children to cheat.

The Pig man in love: These men are model partners. They will worship their partners, and they pour energy into their children to help them be their best. Although Pig men can be stubborn, they don’t like any fuss or conflict and would rather give in for the sake of peace. They are sometimes a bit boring -- that could be the only reason for divorce because otherwise a Pig makes a near perfect mate.

The Pig and money

Pigs can live and spend as ... well ... pigs. But they can afford it, as they tend to be fortunate with money. They are lucky in gambling and lotteries and find a way to manifest extra cash when they need it. They will help anyone in financial need, but they will not touch their savings for this. Don’t borrow from a Pig and then come with excuses when you can’t pay them back. In a situation like this, it will be much better to tell the truth, as Pigs value honesty above all else.
