Chinese Couple Animal Sign - compatibility chart
Your Chinese Animal Sign finds harmony with certain animal signs and clashes with others. Find out which is which by using this simple compatibility chart.

The pig (Chinese: zhu; sometimes mistranslated as boar) is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. These Earthly signs are linked with the Five Elements, or celestial signs, to form a complete horiscope. Using these two sets of signs together creates a 60 year cycle for complete astrological signs in China. It is thought that each Earthly and Celestial sign is associated with certain personality traits.

People of this sign are honest and tolerant and make good friends. Pigs however tend to expect the same from everyone else, they often end up disappointed when they learn otherwise of people. Viewed often as naïve, a pig is very trusting. Pigs are often associated with honour and valour, caring deeply and behaving chivalrous.

They will attempt to make peace over fighting and will make excessive concessions if it means peace. A pig serves companions well and will often do the dirty work for the good of those around them. Pigs thrive in the arts as entertainers. Pigs live best with other pigs, dragons and goats.
