Chinese Sign Profile: Pig

One thing is certain about Pigs -- they are always in the pink. Generous and honourable, they are nice to a fault and possessed of impeccable manners and taste. Some of them have so much of the perfectionist in them that others may be inclined to perceive them as snobs, which is not the case, Pigs believe in the best of mankind and certainly don't consider themselves superior. They 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, a happy sort that feels best when everyone else is smiling.

A truly sad sight is a Pig with no one around to appreciate their giving nature. Pigs are so magnanimous they can appear almost saintly. This can lead some less than well intentioned people to stomp all over the Pig. The Pig refuses to see others as less than good, an endearing quality which makes them great companions. The happy Pig might actually scowl if someone tries to tell them that their approach is too wet. Suffice it to say Pigs aren't keen on unsolicited advice, preferring to fight their own battles when need be. If you can stay out of their way, Pigs can be the most loyal and devoted friends on Earth.

Beyond their sparkling reputations, Pigs are highly intelligent creatures. They are forever studying, playing and probing in their quest for greater knowledge. They also adore food and drink, easily making them the gluttons of the Chinese Zodiac. Nothing but champagne and caviar for the discerning Pig! These Pigs also make wonderful life partners, since they truly do have a heart of gold. Even so, they can be exceedingly exclusive, spending time with those who will appreciate them most while ignoring the rest of the populace.

Pigs need to realise 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 goat.
