Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Libra Pig

In the chronology of the Western zodiac, Libra represents the mid-life of the human life-cycle, equivalent to the 40s. The Libran outlook is thus one of adjustment, balancing what is valuable and what can be discarded, as if in preparation for the second half of life. Importantly, at this time the pressure of mortality is still distant enough for Libras not to feel like they need to rush. Hence people born under this sign are inclined to weigh problems carefully, and to resent being forced to act prematurely. Having the element of Air, people born under this sign are instinctively drawn to intellectual and social matters. The Cardinal modality means this is Air at its most pure, which when Librans are relaxed manifests as great enthusiasm for diverse possibilities, especially social perspectives and constructs. In uncomfortable settings, however, the pure quality of Librans' energy means it can be hard to control, and they may find themselves procrastinating or rendering harsh judgements.

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.
