In China, the Boar is associated with fertility and virility. To bear children in  the year of the pig is considered very fortunate, for they will be happy and honest.
People born in the Year of the Pig are chivalrous and gallant. Whatever they do, they do with all their strength.

 

They are a splendid companion, an intellectual with a very strong need to set difficult goals and carry them out. For Boar Year people, there is no left or right and there is no retreat. They have tremendous fortitude and great honesty. They don't make many friends but they make them for life. They are sincere, tolerant, and honest but by expecting the same from others, are incredibly naïve.


They don't talk much but have a great thirst for knowledge. They study a great deal and are generally well informed. Boar people are quick tempered, yet they hate arguments and quarrelling.


They are kind to their loved ones. No matter how bad problems seem to be, Boar people try to work them out, honestly if sometimes impulsively. The Pig would be best in the arts as an entertainer, or possible a lawyer.

They are most compatible with Rabbits and Sheep.
