Chinese Zodiac: The Pig Posted by on Feb 25, 2009 in Uncategorized

Hello readers!

Today’s topic is the Pig.

People born in the year of the (pig) are known to maintain a 冷静的头脑.  (cool head).  They are also known for being able to take care of business in a 恰当 (appropriate) manner.  They want people to know about their high 品味 (taste).  Unfortunately for the Pigs, they encounter great 挫折 (frustration) in their youth.  Pay that no heed, for Pigs are known to 好财 (love money) and be lucky at getting it.  That said, they have a tendency to judge other people’s 是非 (right and wrong) and they lack 忍耐性 (the ability to endure).  Something to watch out for is that Pigs are quick to 发怒 (get mad) and 上当 (be tricked by others). Famous Pig people include Elton John, Ernest Hemingway, as well as both Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur.

Years of the Pig: 1935, 1948, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, and 2031.
