Each of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs is believed to be unique and share its attributes with those born under its influence. The Pig, according to Chinese myth, was the last of the 12 animals to arrive at a meeting called by the Jade Emperor. Legend has it the Pig fell asleep and had a meal during its race to see the Emperor, which has earned it a reputation of being lazy and laid-back. The Pig is said to be most compatible with the Rabbit and Goat but two Pigs are also said to get along well with one another. According to Chinese astrologer Grand Master Tan Khoon Yong, 2019 promises to be "a year of upheaval" for anyone born under this sign. The astrologer said: "Fortunately, the auspicious stars will ameliorate your situation and help in deterring evil, reducing the negative gossip created by Zhi Bei Slander Star. "Do not allow your lack of motivation at work to cause your wealth and career luck to go downhill. "Be rational when making investment decisions and do not speculate. "Those who are single might be unsuccessful in the pursuit of love." Read more about your daily horoscope with astrologer Russell Grant here. Let's block ads!
