In Chinese culture, pigs are the symbol of wealth and their round faces and big ears are signs of fortune.
Pigs are energetic, enthusiastic, and they enjoy life. People born in the year of the pig are often looked at as optimists and motivators. This zodiac sign also has a solid work ethic and gets things done, but pigs can be a little slow. During this year, patience and willpower will be crucial for anyone trying to get ahead and earn slow and steady wealth.
The Chinese lunar calendar runs on a cycle of twelve animals and the pig is the final one. As such, it is believed that any long term projects or work will come to fruition this year. According to Lillian Bridges, there is “a lot of energy around completion and concluding things that can’t make the jump into the next cycle. Pigs are peaceful animals, except when angered, which is rare. To the Chinese, Pigs symbolize the values of family, friends, home and good food. In fact, the pictogram for home is a roof with a pig under it. So plan on being more of a homebody or staying closer to home this year, as that will bring more fortune than traveling around”.
So let’s hold our loved ones close and get lucky this year!
