Gun Hay Fat Choy! Year of the Fire Pig

The cycle of Chinese astrology corresponds to the 12-year journey of Jupiter around the sun. Chinese astrology relies on the lunar calendar, and is built around the five traditional Chinese elements: Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire. These elements are assigned to each year. As a result, each animal sign has five variations. The sign repeats ever 12 years, but the specific combination occurs only once every 60 year. Even years are yang, odd years are yin. 2007 is the Year of the Fire Pig.

If you were born in 1947, you are a Fire Pig. You are active, outgoing and extroverted. Fire Pigs breathe new life into everything they do. These Pigs are vivid, motivated individuals who cannot be deterred from a goal once they have set it. They are emotional and passionate about their loved ones, their occupations and their objectives. They are bold and vivacious, unafraid to take risks despite the consequences. They make great bosses because they do work so hard and because they are so spirited. But don’t doublecross a Fire Pig. They have the ability to be quite abrasive when things don’t turn out as they planned.
