February 18, 2007 - Chinese New Year's Day. Lunar Year 4705 - The Year of the Pig

While the rest of the world is in the early years of but the third millennium, Chinese culture is in their fifth millennium!
You can read about The Chinese Calendar at http://webexhibits.org/calendars/calendar-chinese.html
Each of the twelve years on the lunar calendar is designated with an animal. In good astrological fashion, the animal representing the year you were born defines much about your personality and characteristics.

Here we are, 2007, the year of the Pig, but it is not all about the Pig! In fact each year is designated by two Chinese characters. They both are equally important for Chinese astrology. The ruling element for 2007 is Fire, and that makes a ton of difference.

The Pig is normally thought of as a laid-back, easy going type. The Fire Pig, however, is more like a wild boar than its placid, barnyard relative.

The Chinese Zodiac - Pig. Description of Personality


Pure hearted and hedonistic, the Pig is the last but not least of the 12 signs. If for no other reason, Pigs have more fun.

Who can't help but like the easy going, helpful, courteous and kindly Pig? They make great friends and sensual lovers. Yes, Pigs love anything that appeals to the senses, music, jacuzzis, and of course good food and drink. And, no one more optimistically looks forward to the joys of retirement.

On the down side, Pigs are often naive and trusting to a fault. It's no challenge to con a Pig. They're not that great when it comes to managing money either. And, they can be impulsive, often reacting to a situation without thinking. These faults and a gentle nature often mask the Pig's very real inner strength.
