The Pig is the twelfth animal of the Chinese Zodiac. According to legend, the Jade Emperor decided to assign twelve animals to the Zodiac. The announcement went out to the entire land. The order of the animals would be determined by which one arrived at his palace first. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, and Dog was the first eleven to arrive, and Pig arrived last.
People born in the year of the Pig are honest, happy, and easy-going. They are very educated, brave, and can achieve great things in life, but can also be materialistic and lazy. Pig individuals know how to survive, which can make them over-indulgent when they have excess.
