Metal Pig

Happy belated gong hei fat choi/gong xi fa cai!

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, being born in 1971 means that I'm a Metal Pig (appropriate). 2019 was an Earth Pig year, the next Metal Pig is 2031 (that means 60 years have passed since the last Metal Pig...you know what that means, yikes!)

Personality: Metal Pigs are outgoing, merciful, friendly and broad-minded. With a grateful heart, they would reward people who have aided them. Generous and faithful, they are peace lovers who never stir a trouble actively. As for others’ faults, they seem very forgiving. However, they are kind of lazy, pursuing relaxing and easy life.

Career: In work, they love thinking and analyzing, and their capability will be recognized by leaders and work fellows. Lacking activeness, they need to cultivate their persistence and willpower. If they are more prudent when making decisions, the possibility of success would be huge. Salary increase and promotion will come along as they make breakthroughs.

Wealth: Their luck of wealth is nice, especially in their late life. Nevertheless, they are not good at financing. Spending without budget may bring them financial crisis. They’d better form a habit of making savings considering the future crisis. It is also possible to try some small amount of investment, which could increase their wealth.

Love: Their expression for love is quite direct, neglecting others’ emotion. Once they feel special for someone, they could try their best to pursue them till others are touched by their true heart. For married Metal Pigs, their relationship is quite stable and harmonious.

Health: More care should be paid to the bone and joints’ problems, and proper calcium supplement is good for their fitness.

Thanks James Newland for the fantastic and appropriate parade of pigs depicted above!
