Chinese Zodiac: The Pig

The pig is sincere, honest, trusting, sociable, hard working and stubborn. Pigs are giving and principled without equal. They have flawless manners and taste. As perfectionists, they are sometimes perceived as snobs. Sensuous and luxuriant, they love life’s finer things.

Pigs care deeply for friends and family and go to extremes to keep them happy. They view helping others as a pleasure, not a duty. Their magnanimity, however, makes them vulnerable to deception.

Pigs make great friends and lovers. They believe in the higher good and won’t see bad in their loved ones. But once wronged, they become formidable opponents. They are curious and intelligent, though sometimes perceived as lazy. With their warm hearts and devotion to family, pigs make wonderful mates.
