Pig personality in tradition
The Pig completes the twelve-animal cycle and is often associated with abundance and generosity.
The phrase “generous & easygoing” describes a traditional association with this animal, rather than a rule about everyone born in 2031. The year element is one part of the calendar; it does not establish a person's complete five-elements or Bāzì chart.
我属猪。
Wǒ shǔ zhū. “I was born in the Year of the Pig.”
Pig compatibility in folklore
Pig, Rabbit and Goat form a traditional harmony group of three. Snake sits opposite Pig, six places away in the twelve-animal cycle. These describe symbolic positions, not evidence of who will make a good partner.
