Pig in 2009 - Time to settle down. Make plans for a steady and practical year. For 1935, become guarded and conservative. Enjoy family happiness.

You don’t need a drastic reaction or a messy heart. For 1971, be happy with your existence. If you fall in love, you’ll benefit from marriage. For 1983, Good fortune lies ahead. Your studies go smoothly. All pigs should be playful. Give in to your own kindhearted natural instincts and win with kindness.

5/5-6/5:  Work drains your mind and energy.  You’ll deal with many convoluted and unavoidable traps, inside and out.  Rely on outside help to change the situation.

7/7– 8/7: You can put your talents to good use now, but be sure to improve your relationships with the people around you so as not to cause misunderstanding or elicit envy.
