Year of the Pig
亥 · Water energy
People born in the Year of the Pig (also called the Boar) tend to be openhearted and generous, with a warmth that puts people instantly at ease. They give without much calculation and trust people readily; that warmth is the charm. There's an optimistic, abundant energy about them that spreads warmth around.
In Korean Saju, your zodiac animal is the year branch (亥) — one of the eight characters in your birth chart. It's a real part of the reading, but only one-eighth of it: a lens for reflection, never a verdict.
Pig personality
Pigs tend to be broad-minded and honest, meeting people plainly and without pretense. Affectionate by nature, they give without hesitating and enjoy it all the more the more they share. Optimistic and refreshingly simple, they don't stay tangled in small things for long. And once their mind is set, a sturdy, unhurried tenacity carries it through.

Love & relationships
Their love is unadorned, sincere, and devoted. They give without stint and become a resting place for their partner. Rather than only accommodating, voicing their own heart too keeps the relationship healthy.
Work & path
They shine in work that holds people warmly and pushes steadily on. An unassuming sincerity earns them deep, lasting trust. Service, welfare, food and hospitality, collaborative roles — work that trades in human warmth fits them.
Money
There's an abundant energy to what comes in, but a soft heart can let some slip away. Add shrewd management to the giving, and the storehouse stays full.
“Your generous heart is a great blessing — don't be stingy in sharing that warmth with yourself as well.”
