___ Pig (Chinese Zodiac) Pig (Chinese Zodiac, in Chinese: 豬) is the twelfth sign of the Chinese zodiac. |
||
A pig represents luck, overall good fortune, wealth, honesty, general prosperity, symbolizing a hard working, a peace-loving person, a truthful, generous, indulgent, patient, reliable, trusting, sincere, giving, sociable person with a large sense of humour and understanding. Culturally pigs are considered very lucky creatures at birth. They are always well fed and allowed their ways. Pigs are also said to be a sign of virility. Prominently displayed in the bedrooms of couples trying for children. This is said to be a natural offshoot of the fact that Pigs always have a huge litter of children. see also: Animals' Symbolism, Chinese Calendar |
