According to the popular Chinese myth the animal ruling the year in which a person is born tremendously influences his or her behavior and traits.
Pig people are said to possess considerable determination and if they set their minds on something will pursue it and attain it. Good careers for people born in the year of the pig are in music, food, writing, and looking after others.
They are often imbued with the energy of wealth and the support of others. The person born in the Year of the Pig accepts the existing richness of life.
