Are your sign a “Pig”?
After the Dog but before the Rat, the Pig occupies the twelfth position in the Chinese zodiac. Also, for people born during the year of the Pig, they will be considered in China as a Pig (or ‘belonging to the Pig’). The years of the Zodiac are defined according to the Chinese lunar calendar.
If you were born in the years 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 or 2019, you could be a pig, but not necessarily. Indeed, the year of the zodiac normally begins at the time of the Chinese New Year (between the end of January and mid-February). Also, if you were born in January or February of any of the years mentioned above, you could be a pig or a dog.
Let’s take the year 1995 as an example:
In 1995, the year of the pig begins on January 30. People born after this date will belong to the Chinese zodiac sign Pig. On the other hand, if they were born before this date, they will be of the previous sign, namely, a Dog.
