Calling All Rabbits and Goats

Nice. I'm a pig.

Contrary to its rather negative reputation in the West, the Pig of Chinese Astrology may be the most generous and honorable Sign of the Zodiac. Pigs are nice to a fault and possess impeccable manners and taste. They have so much of the perfectionist in them that others may be inclined to perceive them as snobs, but this is a misconception. Pigs are simply possessed of a truly luxurious nature, one that delights in finery and riches (in surroundings, food, lovemaking and otherwise). This Sign believes in the best qualities of mankind and certainly doesn't consider itself to be superior. Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Helping others is a true pleasure for the Pig, who feels best when everyone else is smiling.

A Pig with no one around to appreciate its giving nature is a sad sight. Pigs are so magnanimous they can appear almost saintly; this can lead some less-than-well-intentioned souls to stomp all over this Sign, and the bad news is, the Pig will take the blows! Pigs make great companions in part because of their refusal to see the more negative or base qualities in a partner, but that rose-colored view can lead to this Sign's allowing itself to be taken advantage of. Contrary to their seemingly benign dispositions, however, Pigs can be quite venomous in response to being crossed by a lover, friend or business partner.

Pigs are highly intelligent creatures, forever studying, playing and probing in their quest for greater knowledge. They can be misinterpreted as being lazy, however, due to their love of reveling in the good stuff; this Sign could happily spend hours on end making love, napping, taking a long bubble bath or dallying over an incredible spread of rich foods. Pigs tend to make wonderful life partners due to their hearts of gold and their love of family. Even so, Pigs can be rather exclusive, choosing to spend time with those who will appreciate them most and ignore the rest of the populace. Pigs would do well to realize that there's more to life than being needed. When they open up their world to a diverse group of people, they will truly bloom.

The most compatible match for a Pig is the Rabbit or the Goat.

Don't you know never to cross a fire dragon! Just Kidding. No apologies necessary. I am of the belief that there are few original ideas left out there.

I may have to post a fire dragon profile - it is interesting and perhaps a little too uncanny. There are a few similarities between pigs and dragons it would seem. I myself am looking for a nice rat or monkey. And I thought I was trying to stay clear of those rats! HA!

Being a dragon is sooo much cooler than being a pig. I'm jealous. And I'm not exactly thrilled with my matches either. Rabbits and goats are neurotic little creatures.

I do enjoy being a dragon, although, they do get judged a little, the whole ego thing. But being a dragon I can not help oozing natural charisma, sexiness, intelligence, etc. Arrogant, please, it is our lunar destiny to be powerful and lucky.

(being facietious, of course)

Meanwhile, rabbit and goats are not so bad. Certainly no better than rats and monkeys. I'll keep my ear to the ground for some nice rabbits and goats.
