Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Aquarius Pig

Aquarians are the septuagenarians of the Western zodiac, the second-oldest souls behind Pisces. By this time, everyday pressures of human society have become less important, and there is an increasing receptiveness to the eternal, the afterlife. Hence Aquarians possess great generosity of spirit. They find it easy to accept both individuals and humanity as a whole, virtues and flaws in balance. All three Air signs are naturally drawn to intellectual concerns, and for the Fixed modality of Aquarius, this involves a deep commitment to wisdom, a persevering desire to seek out universal truths. Science, technology, reason—such cerebral subjects provide Aquarians with endless fascination. Perhaps because of their old souls, Aquarians are famously non-conformist and unpredictable, traits regarded as synonymous with their ruling planet, Uranus. Any role that demands routine drudgery is likely to throw them off-balance. Being so accepting themselves, Aquarians may also struggle with rejection. Their fury, while usually short-lived, can be stunningly fierce, or lead to ghostly absences. Ultimately, however, this is one of the most consistently cheerful, irrepressible signs, their wisdom and endless sympathy among the most precious gifts in the zodiac.

The final animal of the Eastern zodiac is the generous, compassionate Pig. These caring souls are among the most benevolent under the stars. They make trustworthy friends, and will not hesitate to share all they have with their loved ones, as well as with the world at large. It is true that Pig year natives sometimes appear naive. Their faith in others can leave them vulnerable to manipulation or abuse, which may cause them to surrender temporarily to self-sabotage, laziness or anger. But rest assured, this sign is unlikely to brood for long! For one thing, these folk are extraordinarily capable under pressure, the very best of allies in any time of need. What's more, when they find a true calling, they are capable of tireless work, exemplary commitment, and show-stopping feats of skill. Last but not least, perhaps due to their selfless kindness and pure motives, in the long run people born in the year of the Pig are apt to attract the abundant good fortune they so richly deserve.
