Combined Western and Chinese Zodiacs
Pisces Pig

The final sign in the Western zodiac is the metaphorical octogenarian, the dreamer Pisces. This is traditionally a time of contemplation, as the psyche prepares to let go of corporeal existence. Pisces have a special appreciation for creativity, beauty, and individual experience, set against the vastness of time and space. Simple shared occasions can, for these generous and empathic souls, convey universal significance as cherished moments of intimacy and belonging. Admittedly, the often extreme sensitivity of Pisces does involve some challenges. The variable element of Water is at its most inconstant in the Mutable modality of this sign. Pisces can be unreliable if tasked with work they consider a waste of their aesthetic ideals. They are easily overawed by crowds or complex emotional cross-currents, and can be dangerously prone to escapism or isolation. However, if Pisces and those close to them are able to navigate this sign's sensitivity and changeability, then their innate wisdom and perspective promises much happiness and aesthetic achievement.

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.
