The Year of the Fire Pig is going to be a fantastic year for some,
a year of celebration for many and a few challenges for others.
This year is Fire, the colour is red, and so, a Red Fire Pig is
very powerful indeed considering the gentle Yin energy that usually
encompasses the Pig Year. The Pigs fixed ruling sign is Water,
so we have a Year of Fire over Water. There is a power behind this
association that can get out of control. Even though the gentle
Yin energy of the Pig denotes harmony, the opposition of Fire and
Water can and will transform into volatile situations if you allow
it. Perhaps we will see some unstable conditions on an international
scale during the year. Opposite things will happen, often to people
and businesses that are usually stable. People will move to the
west from the east, others will move from the east to the west.
The same will apply with the northern and southern hemispheres.
Some moves will seem so strange to the observer, but it will simply
be an opposite turn of events.
The Fire Pig year enhances change on a grand scale. In particular
there may be something you have always wanted to do, now is the
time to prepare for that change, plant the seeds, make the plans,
and believe you can. But importantly, stay in the moment with
those plans. This seems contradictory, but it is not. Simply
make the plans, see the outcome, but remain focused on now.
Often we meet someone who constantly lives in the future
chasing their goals. Look closely, they rarely reach them
because they do not keep a focus on the NOW. One can’t
work without the other. The Fire Pig year gives opportunities
in abundance. If you are positive your confidence will be
enhanced, if you are negative you may feel shattered.
Generally speaking this year has many great times ahead, although
there are warnings. Many people in business for themselves will
do well this year. Some professions far better than others. If
you are a small business owner or a single business person expect
some help, often completely unexpected. Take the help it will
improve things significantly. In the corporate sector some high
profile merges will take place world wide with a very positive
outcome. However, there may be a few international hostile takeovers;
some of those takeovers will eventually have a positive outcome
though. Technology again, goes through the roof with improvements
and almost out of this world advancement. For many people life
becomes noticeably easier, abundance, not only financially. Watch
that extra money though; it can just as easily be spent. The
Fire Pig year needs to be celebrated, express gratitude daily
for what you have. Celebrate the gift of life, share your knowledge,
and keep your heart open to all experiences.
On an international level there just may be a great effort to
bring about change. Being the last year in the Chinese 12 animal
cycle and having Fire rule it, there could be some fierce international
struggles. Perhaps the overthrowing of dictators, even civil
uprisings in some third world countries, the people will say “enough
is enough”. The Fire Pig is Female Fire and she can be
ferocious and devastating. Just like any female if you try
to take away her young. This female energy will be powerful
enough to take back what she believes is hers. The intent behind
this process is land, governments, boarders, disputes over
territories.
In the workplace there could be an increase in gossip or even
arguments that someone continually perpetuates and just will
not drop it. Be careful not to buy into gossip and situations
that continue to be fueled by the fire of ignorance. Ignore rumors,
if you did not see it yourself, it does not exist. Keep this
intent strong for 2007. This year symbolises the element of Fire
sitting above Water, hence a rather difficult clash. Herein lies
a problem, opposites will inevitably refuse to co-exist. The
Water will try to put the Fire out while the Fire simply refuses
to be snuffed out. A general warning for the year is do NOT take
to work, or anywhere for that matter, private and confidential
material. It is a time of exposure, and you really do not want
that picture or personal information on the World Wide Web, do
you?
In families, close knit as well as those that can be a little
dysfunctional, there may be a tendency towards disputes regarding
decisions between parents and children. Parents not agreeing
with grown up teenager’s
points of view, will find the usually practical teenagers, as well
as the rebellious ones, decide to move on and out. Parents can
be shocked at how determined they will be, hence continuous disputes.
Although some things may seem a little challenging with family
matters it will still be an auspicious year for marriages and childbirth.
However, in relationships where there are struggles or lack of
communication we will hear people saying, “I tried really
hard last year, but there is no point to continuing on” So
we will see many separations or divorces.
A great deal of patience is required in general to avoid disputes
everywhere. The greater importance here is that it is time for
a global practice of tolerance, coming together to bring about
positive change. Looking at the energy of this year from a spiritual
point of view, what a tremendous opportunity to define tolerance
and be accepting and compassionate of life and all situations.
Areas that will prosper. Many businesses will change the way
they do things, seeing greater opportunities by looking at areas
from a different point of view. Some will change management around;
some will simply change their address. We will see changes in
Government departments too. Professional people will now realise
the change they need is not a new job; it is a whole new career
in a new area. It is a year for traveling for many people, so
take that long awaited overseas holiday. Tourism industries will
do particularly well this year, so will freight and transport
companies, international and national as long as they use air,
rail and road, the seas are not favoured because of the Fire
over Water Year. Avoid travelling to the north/west from where
you live.
Computer business will do very well this year along with IT,
Electrical Products/Manufactures/Companies, and businesses related
to Information or Finance Information. There is a tremendous
increase in the recognition and the importance of spiritual awareness,
areas like Yoga, Tai-Chi, Qi-Gong and Meditation groups. People
everywhere are being drawn to the benefits of pursuing and becoming
involved in the well-ness industry. Even large corporations are
finally recognizing how significant it is to support their staff
in health awareness programs.
Businesses that will grow will be Building Material Manufactures
in particular for Home Renovations, Organic Food Producers, small
Finance Businesses will be expand, Hotels and Resorts everywhere
will flourish, especially in third world countries from the tourism
trade, Health and Beauty businesses, Advanced Science/Medicine
will be pioneered, Modern Medicine and Holistic approaches will
join together with distinguished results, Mobile Technology will
still continue to grow and so will the World Wide Web Media.
Areas that will remain stable, but perhaps not see a lot of growth
will be Fashion and the garment industry in general, Real Estate
does not seem to go up anywhere, and the Motor Car industry does
not seem to expand to where they would like to, Construction
itself is not as auspicious as Renovation, the Antique resale
Industry seems to have a distinct lack of interest this year.
Businesses that may see difficulties in 2007 will be Shipping,
Fishing, Whaling (thank goodness), Marine Products, Boat Building,
and Ocean Liner Cruises. There could even be a few troubles with
Agriculture and Mining, and any digging into the Earth is not
a good thing this year.
Because of the Fire over Water influence in 2007 there may be
some global disasters associated to Water and Fire. Perhaps a
volcanic eruption, forest fires, (which is highly likely considering
drought and weather patterns), flooding. There will definitely
be an international forum and world sharing awareness on the
struggle against pollution. A time for solutions rather than
complaints.
People born the Year of the Pig.
The nature of the Pig native is a caring, kind and considerate
person. Even though at times they can seem a little tough on
the exterior don’t be fooled, underneath there is a warm
heart that is as pure as gold. Some Pig natives prefer that
no one is aware of this inner warmth, so they choose instead
to remain a little on the cool side. It won’t last for
long though if you have touched the Pig’s heart. The
honourable Pig is the person you can turn to for comfort, intelligent
advice and kindness all wrapped up in one bundle. If a bully
picks on a Pig native they will get a tremendous shock. Pig
people can seem easy targets for the tough guy type; however,
there is a surprise in store for the one doing the picking.
Be aware, because what can surface from the depths of this
person can be like a collision course with a tornado.
Particularly
if the Pigs loved ones have been threatened or their survival
is endangered, often this reaction is a surprise to the Pig
as well. The Pig person will extend their hands to their friends
when support is needed but they are typically no nonsense in
their attitude when giving their support. They do not need
or want praise; they do these wonderful deeds from the heart.
Often the Pig is a “Benevolent Society” all in
one. To give and share are a part of the Pig’s nature,
the nature of the beast, so to speak. To trust these gentle
souls is extremely easy. The Pig native has a calm and sincere
personality, and their easy going ways make it a pleasure being
around them. They are devoted friends and they seem to have
this childlike simplicity to their character, which is like
a breath of fresh air. The Pig’s love of pleasure and
passion is famous and they will pursue it no matter what. The
Pig native will woo you and have no consideration what so ever
for the cost until you have noticed them. Then when the time
is right the Pig will declare true love and some Pigs are completely
prepared to settle down to a quieter life style and raise a
family. They need partners who understand their need for emotional
fulfillment and they will create time and space to conceive
these desires. The family is very important to the Pig native;
they will work hard to support their family and are sincere
about commitments they have made. However, after the kids have
gone to bed there is always time for some debauchery with,
of course, good food and fine wine, the Pig will always adore
being able to indulge in the finer things of life. This person
will rarely just wither away to nothing and become celibate.
The Pig is a tolerant and sincere person who has patience mixed
with compassion. They expect other people to have these same
traits, which often bring complications and disappointments
for the Pig. Rarely are people the same, so unfortunately the
Pig can be taken advantage of because of their beliefs in others
or their expectations of people. A wonderful quality of the
Pig person is they do not like to leave things unfinished;
they are the practical types who follow through on responsibilities.
The Pig native works very hard when they are doing what they
like and they will play just as hard too. Pigs are smarter
than most people think, so, as a warning never gets involved
in a lawsuit with a Pig native. They will make sure it takes
forever to wear you down and they always win. Your insults
will mean nothing to a Pig and neither does misfortune, they
work out what needs to be done and they make it right again.
Although there is an area the Pig will avoid and that is dark
and dangerous places or situations. There is one warning the
Pig should heed and that is to become a little more detached
of what other people are or want to become, they need to learn
to let others make their own decisions.
People born in the Fire Pig years of 1887, 1947, 2007
The Fire Pig is the most intense and courageous of all the Pigs.
This little Piggy can really be the hero. They make wonderful
healers and councilors, be it in modern or holistic medicine.
The Fire Pig can be relied upon in all situations; it is an honour
just to be in their presence. Often they need to be motivated
by love to keep up their grand displays of affection. However,
they rarely have hard words to say about anyone. The Fire Pig
is a determined person with incredible amounts of energy, too
much energy in fact to just sit around, that is after their cuppa
in bed. This Pig has a tendency to get to the top or fall to
the bottom, depending on their attitude towards life. There does
not seem to be an in-between with them.
