What Pigs (Boars) are

People born in the year of the Boar are united by diligence, sociability and the desire to live in a big way. But it cannot be said that all people of this sign are so the same. We will tell you what kind of Boars are, how the element, under the symbol of which they were born, affects their character and habits.

Water Pig (Boar)

Good-natured, calm, can be silent and invisible – until it’s time to chat and have fun. People are pleased to be in the company of such a nice person. They do not expect unpleasant surprises from him. The Water Pig really won’t offend, substitute, or somehow upset those around him, but he can behave unpredictably, without harm to others. But here he should be wary of people with bad thoughts. This type of Pig tends to see only the good in others and may not notice how they are being manipulated. Therefore, the Water Pig really needs true friends and a reliable partner. And for this person, the family is extremely important – this is the rear, where you can hide and survive life’s hardships.

Strengths: sociability, goodwill, conflict-free, the ability to feel what other people need

Weak sidesKey words: naivete, high credulity, can be overly self-indulgent, sluggishness

Wood Pig (Boar)

Responsibility, sincerity and developed intellect – thanks only to these features, the Wooden Boar becomes an indispensable specialist in any organization. The only thing that can interfere with teamwork is his extreme unwillingness to accept another opinion that is opposite to him. This person does not need advisers and he will insist on his own – even if then everything has to be redone.

In friendships and love relationships, this character will also not cause problems to partners. You can always rely on him, he is honest and at the same time knows how to empathize. Will not put his interests above the interests of his wife / husband / friend, but there is a problem: he is convinced that he knows what is best for others. And you will have to try to convince him otherwise.

Strengths: commitment, ability to bring everything to the end, friendliness, self-confidence, ability to sympathize with another

Weak sides: it is difficult to convince him, authoritarianism, does not listen to other people’s opinions

Fire Pig (Boar)

The element of fire gives these people brightness, which is how they differ from other brothers, who often remain invisible in a large company. Fire Hogs are also responsible for any business, and sometimes even too much, turning into real fanatics. They are not afraid of difficulties, but if interest in some business has disappeared, write wasted: the Pig will not hesitate to quit everything and start something else.

Inexhaustible optimism and energy are the best helpers for this sign. For the Fire Pig, like his brothers, the material component is important. But this person cares not so much about himself, but about his loved ones. For a family, for a partner, the Fire Pig is ready to move mountains. But it is important for him that it be appreciated.

Strengths: energy, optimism, the ability to be a leader and rally people, courage

Weak sides: arrogance, vanity, sometimes aggression, inability to stop in time

Earth Pig (Boar)

One of the most understandable signs. The Earth Pig knows what he wants and how to achieve it, knows how to give good advice and help another. This person has everything going according to plan, without any significant jumps. He does not strive for incredible heights: therefore, he does not achieve any great achievements or fabulous wealth, but the risk of falling to the bottom is minimal. Stability is what matters to the Earth Pig.

At the same time, they know how to cope with stress, think quickly and find a way out of any situation. And at their core, Earth Boars are leaders. Even if it doesn’t seem like it. And they are caring and good-natured people, true friends and good family men.

StrengthsKeywords: ability to plan everything, flexible mind, practicality, responsiveness

Weak sides: slowness, melancholy, inability to act decisively, take risks

Metal Pig (Boar)

Another extrovert among the brethren, like the Fire Pig. This character will definitely not be left without attention: he is sociable and likes to laugh, acts boldly, talks loudly – sometimes he can be blamed for being rude and uncouth. But the Metal Boar cannot be confused by anything.

This sign is resolute, but cautious and consistent in actions: he calculated everything and thought it over. Therefore, any business with the Metal Pig is arguing.

He is an open soul, while it is difficult to see the minuses in other people. Everything seems to him better and simpler than it actually is – because of this, he can get problems from enemies or not the most reliable “friends”. However, to come into conflict with him is fraught: offended, the kind Pig turns into a furious Boar.

Strengths: decisiveness, practicality, ability to stand up for oneself, sociability

Weak sides: excessive gullibility, straightforwardness sometimes turns into rudeness  

Characteristics of the male Pig (Boar)

A strong and courageous person, he will never play up and participate in intrigues. He does not hide his plans even from enemies and potential competitors. On the one hand, by doing so, he runs the risk of becoming deceived, but on the other hand, enemies may not expect such a position at all. In addition, the Pig has a remarkable mind and knows how to competently draw up not only plan A, but also plan B, plus a couple more in reserve.

This man rarely becomes a star in the company, but he is pleasant in communication, polite, knows how to sympathize and give good advice. Therefore, people themselves are drawn to him – it is comfortable with such a friend. And happiness to that woman whom the Boar chooses as a partner. He will try to do everything so that his beloved is happy and does not know hardships, including material ones. 

Characteristics of the female Pig (Boar)

This lady usually has a wide circle of contacts, which is not surprising: she knows how to keep up the conversation, does not like to gossip behind her back, is conflict-free, cheerful and friendly. The Pig Woman does not need to resort to any tricks to attract attention to herself: she already radiates incredible charm.

A lot of different interests and a good sense of humor – these distinguishing features of her will be useful to the Pig woman not only in personal communication, but also in becoming a professional. The bosses favor, colleagues do not have a soul. And the Pig woman will devote her free time to her family and creating comfort in the house.

Child born in the year of the Pig (Boar)

Curious and kind. He will always give way to the toy and come to comfort the baby on the playground. Little Boars do not know how to recognize evil, so it is important for parents to teach them the basic rules from the very cradle: for example, that you can’t go anywhere with a stranger.

These children are trusting and naive, so others may think that they are stupid. But it will be all the more pleasant for parents to watch how the scoffers’ jaws drop when they learn about the successes of yesterday’s modest Pig schoolboy.   

Pig (Boar) in different areas of life

Pig in love and marriage

It can stay in search of its soul mate for a long time. But this is normal: after all, the Boar is looking for a partner for life. This is a caring and faithful person to his passion, he will cherish and cherish his love, he will try to please every whim.

The pig will be a wonderful husband or wife, this is the case when “everything is in the family.” A person of this sign will try to provide comfort and coziness in the house, a comfortable future for children. The only thing that can somewhat spoil the ideal picture is the Boar’s authoritarianism and periodic outbursts of anger. At such moments, it is better to stay away, you will not have to wait long: the Pig quickly departs.

Pig in friendship

A good friend: reliable, loyal, will always come to the rescue and directly say whether this hairstyle suits you or not. This person will not pass by if someone stood on the highway with emergency gangs or if the grandmother lacks 10 rubles at the checkout.

The pig is good-natured and will not quarrel with you over trifles. In the event of an increase in the degree of conflict, this person is more likely to simply avoid you. And in order for the friendship not to fall apart, you may have to make the first move. Moreover, think over the tactics of the conversation in advance: the peace-loving Pig will not tolerate screams and insults.

Pig in work and career

The boar is an executive and responsible hard worker. He is ready to make a lot of efforts to make a plan or finish a project on time and, of course, earn more. The boar will not experiment: if he has already decided to sell smartphones, then he will study the entire niche, all the features and go from a seller in a mobile phone store to the owner of his own distribution network.

But, of course, if he does not lose interest. And also, if a career or business alienates the Pig from the family, he will be ready to moderate his ambitions.

Pig and health

The boar often does not know the measure – this can seriously affect health, primarily on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. But in some cases, it is not only about the persistent desire to enjoy delicious food. The boar can be subject to other passions, so it is better for him to find a healthy hobby that will satisfy the desire to live in pleasure.

Compatibility of the Pig (Boar) with other signs

Natural sociability allows the Pig to interact with any people in a variety of situations. But with someone it is easier for her, and with someone it will be difficult to find common ground.

Pig Rat

These two can find each other at a party with friends: both have many acquaintances, both shine with charm – how not to “hook”? But is there a future for their flirting? Is not a fact. The rat is too fast and already at the same party someone else can capture her attention. But if the relationship drags on, the couple can get a great union. They both love comfort, live in a big way, are sociable. And the Rat will be able to drive away people with unclean thoughts from his too trusting partner.

Pig Bull

A calm couple, nothing will upset the balance in these relationships: a storm can rage outside the window, and the Pig and the Ox will drink tea. True, such gatherings are rare: both disappear at work, trying to achieve success, including, of course, material ones. After all, they planned a vacation in the Maldives, and it’s time to change the car – otherwise it’s already indecent to drive this one. But sometimes the Boar returns home, hoping to plunge into the arms of a loved one, but only a hungry cat meets him. Yes, Bull is still at work. But they missed the party, because the Ox is reluctant to get out of his pajamas: it’s better at home! How long can such a sensual and sociable Pig last? But both are honest with each other – and this will help to conduct reasonable dialogues and maintain relationships, if both really want it.

Pig-Tiger

It would seem: a toothy predator and a good-natured gullible pig. But it is in nature. And if we are talking about a horoscope, we get a great combination. Both are handsome (in every sense), they know how to enjoy life, both are quite frank.

First of all, they are bosom friends. And if both hooked each other with something else, anyone will envy this amorous story. The striped one will be responsible for passion, organize joint adventures, and the gentle Pig will provide affection and a sense of magic to the beloved predator in a relationship. In addition, the Tiger will be able to protect his partner from enemies and tricksters, as he sees through people. If necessary, and fangs will show.

Pig-Rabbit

From the outside, this alliance seems ideal: both are so cultured, smiling, charming. At home, the voices of the guests constantly sound at the couple’s house – but these are not noisy parties, after which the local district police officer is thinking of leaving for a sanatorium. These are pleasant gatherings with homemade cakes and tabletops.

But the Boar may lack fun. And if the Rabbit will periodically keep the company of his passion, and without a sour mine, and sometimes let the Pig have fun with friends / girlfriends, their relationship will only be stronger.

And for this couple, the intimate component is also important: if their desires and opportunities converge in sex, then … the next Boar party can easily be missed.

Pig Dragon

Too different to survive together not only the difficult ups and downs of life, but even simple shopping. The dragon in this pair will pull the blanket over itself, demand admiration and breakfast in bed. But if the last Pig is easy to deal with (especially since she will gladly join), then otherwise she may be uncomfortable. And over time, it will generally infuriate: the Boar knows his own worth and will not allow to wipe his feet on himself.

But if both learn to put up with each other’s “overshoots”, respect the partner and take into account his interests, they will get to the registry office and the ruby ​​wedding anniversary.

Pig Snake

Even if they manage to charm each other, over time it will become clearer: something is not adding up. They are neither similar nor opposite to complement each other. They are just different.

But, as we know, life does not accept any rules. Therefore, these two have a chance. If the Pig manages to come to terms with the leadership, even somewhat “parental” manner of communication of the Snake, he will be rewarded with a portion of her wisdom. It is very convenient to move forward with such a partner: the Snake will tell you in business, and on a hike, it will find a way out of the thicket without a compass.

Pig-Horse

At the time of the birth of a relationship, this can be a beautiful and passionate connection: they will flirt incendiary, and when it comes to the first sex, they will be able to pleasantly surprise each other.

However, later, when mutual respect, common values ​​and aspirations come to the fore, problems begin. The Pig and the Horse have not only different temperaments, but also outlooks on life, opinions about its important components. Conversations break down into arguments (which the peaceful Pig will diligently avoid and get upset quietly). And there is also a great risk that the Horse will add peppercorns, which are completely unnecessary in this situation, irritating the partner’s soul with excessive jealousy.

Pig-Goat (Sheep)

When they meet, they make a good impression on each other, it is easy for them to find a common language, in the process of conversation, the Pig and the Goat now and then agree with each other. And then they think: there are people in the world who understand me perfectly. This is where it all starts.

The couple loves to spend time in each other’s company, respects the opinion of the partner and his interests. They love to make plans, think about a new interior for their future “nest” and choose on the map the places they will go to. But over time, the Boar begins to understand: nothing changes. The Goat needs to be moved to accomplishments, and the Pig does not always find the necessary leverage, and in general can understand that she doesn’t really need it.

Pig Monkey

These two can create a vibrant, but not without bumps, alliance. But the more interesting – too ideal relationships are sometimes boring.

They are positive, sociable, the Pig knows how to make their life more pleasant, and the Monkey can easily find a way out of difficult situations. How strong this alliance will be will depend on whether the partners are ready to put up with the desire of the other to manipulate and lead. In addition, they have a slightly different “burning temperature”: the Pig appreciates warmth, tenderness, and the Monkey needs ardor and a whirlpool of passions. Can they find a balance?

Pig Rooster

The Rooster can easily capture the attention of the Pig due to its attractiveness, intelligence, ability to serve both. The charming Pig can also be very to the taste of the Rooster, but, more importantly, she will be able to impress him with her frankness. Than the usual social circle of the Rooster indulges infrequently.

Their union can become strong and durable, provided that both strive for the same goals. The Boar is hardworking and diligent, the Rooster knows and knows how to achieve goals – a real team to save the world. But if one, for example, wants to build a three-story house for everyone to envy, and the other wants to travel around the world and visit The Burning Man, this “ship” will probably soon undock.

Pig-Dog

In this pair there is no place for meanness, manipulation or betrayal. Honest open relationships, partners have nothing to hide from each other, and therefore it is easy and pleasant for them to be together. The Boar will dilute the philosophical palette of his passion with bright colors, teach him to enjoy life, and the Dog will help the partner to translate all his grandiose ideas into reality.

This is the case when both great love and strong friendship for life can turn out.

Pig-Pig

Pleasant, in every sense, a couple: they look harmoniously together, like to laugh and there is no place for quarrels in their lives. It is easy for others around them, so two Pigs can have many friends.

But it is important to understand: the weaknesses of character in this union are doubled. Boars can fantasize a lot (it’s especially nice to do it together). But who will help them to realize their plans, to see the gaps in their plans, to check the documents for a loan, in the end.
