    [b]About the Year of the Pig[/b]
    According to the Chinese zodiac, it is an Earth Pig year. Years of the Pig have included 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, and the next one will be in 2031.

    According to Chinese astrology, each year belongs to a Chinese zodiac animal and this goes in 12-year cycles.

    The Pig has the twelfth position in the Chinese zodiac after the Dog, and before the Rat. If you were born in a Pig year, you are known as a Pig in China! Zodiac years go by the Chinese calendar.



    Ancient Chinese believe the pig was classified as the chief of the six domestic animals. It is said to have a close relationship with the lives of human beings and is looked upon as a symbol of prosperity.

    Some interesting facts about Pig people are:
    Lucky numbers are 2, 5, 8, and numbers containing them (like 25 and 58)
    Lucky days are the 17th and 24th of every Chinese lunar month
    Lucky colours are yellow, grey, brown, and gold
    Lucky flowers are the hydrangea and daisy
    Lucky direction is east and southwest
    Lucky months are the 2nd, 7th, 10th, and 11th Chinese lunar months



    In Chinese mythology, it is also said that the Pig's personality is diligent, compassionate and generous. They have wonderful powers of concentration and once they set a goal, they will put all their energy into achieving this goal.

    Pigs are the type who rarely seek help from other people, however, they will not refuse to give others help. Pigs are generally fooled easily as they never suspect trickery.

    Pigs are rather calm when facing trouble and can always handle problems which are difficult.
