The ancient Chinese Astrology is not only fascinating but also quite accurate. Its Zodiac is based on 12 signs, a cycle of 12 years and are named after 12 symbolic animals : Rat (or Mouse), Ox (or Buffalo or Bull or Cow), Tiger, Rabbit (or Hare or Cat), Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat (or Sheep or Ram), Monkey, Rooster (or Hen or Cock or Chicken or Phoenix), Dog and Pig (or Boar or Hog).

Your Chinese Astrological Zodiac Animal Sign is based on your Chinese Lunar Year of Birth. The Chinese New Year is movable and could start anywhere between 21st January and 20th February, depending upon the year.

If your Date of Birth falls into any of these below listed Chinese Lunar Years, then, because you are born in the Year of the Pig (or Boar or Hog), you are symbolically identified as a "Pig" :

An year of changes and plentiful opportunities. Get over your gloom of loneliness and make a fresh start. Explore all possible alternate ways. If you are employed, it is time to seek a transfer or shift your job. If you wish to start your own business, do so.

If you need to shoulder more responsibilites, do so willingly. Do not presume anything. But be open to new ideas. The more hard work you put in, the better results you will get. Your focus should be on your immediate tasks only. Do not go for any long term investments. Avoid communication gaps at any cost. You will get good help from your network of friends or from powerful people if you look for it. Obstacles will be there, but you can get through them. Grab any overseas posting or foreign opportunity that comes your way. Be extra careful when you travel, as there is a chance of losing official luggage with files and documents. If you are in export or artistic business or strategic planning or event management or catering to the special needs of males, like mens fashion, clothing, etc., you will do well. Keep the combined statue of Dragon and Phoenix alongwith Kuan Kung in the North, to manage smoothly.
