Pig in 2010 - Last year’s steadiness gives way to this year’s spotlight. Your lucky star shines brightly this year. Bask in the light of it. You’ll be very popular amongst both your peers and strangers. Don’t let popularity go to your head, but don’t miss the opportunities it brings either. Remain calm and peaceful in your approach. The right attitude will cover your expenses.

1935: Don’t stay up too late or you’ll get sick.  Shoulder pain is perplexing.  Avoid cold winds.  1947: Wealth comes your way.  Male pigs should prepare for an emotional swirl.  1959: Your business may be hindered by an official matter. Abide by the law.  1971: With increasing economic pressures, don’t add to it and bear it again.  Give more to gain more.  1983: This will be an abundant year, favoring matters of the heart and matrimony. 


12/7-1/5: Your emotional life is abundant, but it’s very important to be single-minded.  Otherwise, you’ll worry yourself needlessly. 

1/5-2/4: Prepare many sound strategies.  Play to your own potential abilities to give advice and suggestions to others.  And be sure to take your own advice too.

2/4-3/6: Don’t be complacent and conservative.  Don’t be swayed by gain or loss.  Dare something new.   

3/6-4/5: It’s a good time to start an undertaking or get promoted.  Show your talents.
