Contrary to its rather negative
reputation in the West, the Pig of Chinese Astrology may be the most
generous and honorable Sign of the Zodiac. Pigs are nice to a fault and
possess impeccable manners and taste. They have so much of the
perfectionist in them that others may be inclined to perceive them as
snobs, but this is a misconception. Pigs are simply possessed of a truly
luxurious nature, one that delights in finery and riches (in
surroundings, food, lovemaking and otherwise). This Sign believes in the
best qualities of mankind and certainly doesn't consider itself to be
superior. Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work
hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Helping others is a true
pleasure for the Pig, who feels best when everyone else is smiling.A
Pig with no one around to appreciate its giving nature is a sad sight.
Pigs are so magnanimous they can appear almost saintly; this can lead
some less-than-well-intentioned souls to stomp all over this Sign, and
the bad news is, the Pig will take the blows! Pigs make great companions
in part because of their refusal to see the more negative or base
qualities in a partner, but that rose-colored view can lead to this
Sign's allowing itself to be taken advantage of. Contrary to their
seemingly benign dispositions, however, Pigs can be quite venomous in
response to being crossed by a lover, friend or business partner.
Pigs are highly intelligent creatures, forever studying, playing and
probing in their quest for greater knowledge. They can be misinterpreted
as being lazy, however, due to their love of reveling in the good stuff;
this Sign could happily spend hours on end making love, napping, taking
a long bubble bath or dallying over an incredible spread of rich foods.
Pigs tend to make wonderful life partners due to their hearts of gold
and their love of family. Even so, Pigs can be rather exclusive,
choosing to spend time with those who will appreciate them most and
ignore the rest of the populace. Pigs would do well to realize that
there's more to life than being needed. When they open up their world to
a diverse group of people, they will truly bloom.
The most compatible match for a Pig is the
Rabbit or the Goat.
