This lunar year is the Year of the Fire Pig arriving on 2/18/07 on our solar calendar.

In Chinese tradition, fire is one of the five elements. It is believed to govern the heart. Fire is associated with the qualities of dynamism, strength and persistence, and with restlessness and a sense of adventure.

In China, the Pig is associated with fertility and virility. To bear children in the year of the Pig is considered very fortunate. It is said that a person who was born in this year is usually an honest, straightforward person. He/she is a modest, shy character who prefers to work quietly behind the scenes. When others despair, he/she is often there to offer support. This type of person is reserved with those they do not know too well, but as time passes and they gain confidence, those around them may discover a lively and warm-hearted person behind that mask of aloofness. Despite those born in the year of the boar having a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, they have few close friends who understand them and share their inner thoughts and feelings. It is easy to put trust in a boar type; he/she won't let you down and will never even attempt to do so.
