2007 is the Year of the Red Fire Pig
Chinese New Year in 2007 is the Year of the Red Fire
Pig. The year of the pig ends the
12 year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. Like the
houses of the zodiac, the animals of Chinese
astrology are said to influence your luck during the
year. Your horoscopes for 2007, the year of the pig,
depends on which animal signifies the year you were
born.
Pigs are said to be very good matches for tigers and
sheep, but do not get along well with snakes and
monkeys. Other pigs, rabbits, horses, oxen, rats,
roosters, dogs and dragons can make good companions,
but the relationships are not always smooth or long
lasting.
Babies born in the year of the pig are fortunate and
make good partners in life. The pig is modest,
sometimes quick to anger but also quick to learn and
hard working. Their ability to see things through
brings success in business and personal affairs.
