Pig is the 12th animal of the Chinese Zodiac and the 10th month of the Chinese Year. The Pig heralds the beginning of winter with its watery element.

The Pig is a benevolent and revered animal in Chinese culture and the Metal of this month enhances the Pig’s water element. The Pig is committed to the betterment of humanity and stands for fairness, justice, truth and community building. Pig loathes falsehood, hypocrisy and mistreatment or victimization of others. Pig is also a peacemaker and an excellent mediator of dissonant factions. Of the five Pig types, Metal Pig is the most dynamic and energized and it promotes kindness and understanding between people of different beliefs. With elections this month, what better way to act on the higher principles of the Pig!

Additionally, the Pig month in a “triple Tiger” year forms a Six Combination that’s very powerful. The Pig and Tiger work together to promote positive change and closer bonds. Thanksgiving is a time for gatherings…friends and family…and this year you’ll feel that energy even more in the Metal Pig. The benevolent influence of Metal Pig couldn’t have come at a better time, with so much global and domestic discord.
