2010 Chinese Horoscope: Pig

Pig 2010 Overview
Enthusiastic and colorful Tiger energy magnifies a Pig's feelings in 2010. You will experience everything with a special intensity. Tiger encourages hard-working and hardy Pig to never give up. Continue to build upon any structure you have already begun. Pig's ability to stick with something until it succeeds could be the most powerful quality among their many talents.

This year, many Pigs will go the extra mile and help others who are facing tough times. Because you find it easy to sacrifice your own comfort and security, it is important to balance your own needs with those of others. Be very conscious about your health. Expenses in this area may cost more than you expect, so research the best deals. Exercise and a healthy diet will do more to improve your health than any other methods. Limit high-sugar and high-carb treats.

Upbeat Pigs like mingling and enjoy being part of a crowd. This makes you at the top of lists of invites to parties, events, community gatherings, or even just coffee dates. The trick is to do things that are both fun and can save you money.

Because of the sensitive energy Tiger brings, it will be extra important to control your emotions. Even if you do not want to listen, take the sincere advice of trusted friends.
Love 
Pigs have tender hearts and fall in love easily. When you care about someone, it is very difficult believe he or she is less than perfect. Be open to any advice or comments from trusted friends, especially concerning a new romantic interest.

Pigs are known to be very lusty and romantic. Metal Tiger only heightens these qualities. It is possible this year to suddenly fall head over heals for someone who simply is not available or right for you. Do your best to avoid temptation and be loyal to your current sweetheart. February, December, and January 2011 are lucky for finding or renewing a deep and true love.
Friends & Family 


In a recession, many Pigs must accept a simpler lifestyle, but this is no reason not to have a very active social calendar. Your neighborly and relaxed nature makes you popular wherever you go.

Make very specific plans this year that bring people together to see the lighter side of life. This should include mini-vacations in the company of your favorite people. You may take a deeper interest in the lives and activities of both children and older people.

The months of September, October, and November can see your social skills at a high point. Memorable parties and community events will benefit from your involvement.
Career
Pigs are happiest working in close contact with others. In stressful times, you should refuse to give up until you get what you want. Expect to excel in any situation where you can take the lead or need to stay focused for long periods of time.

Metal Tiger energy helps Pig break new ground and try new things to improve your job prospects. The middle of March, April, and May are strong times to seek work or request an upgrade of your current position or pay.

Your best job opportunities are likely to come from friends and associates, so network as much as possible all year long. And remember, there is nothing wrong with asking for help.
Money

Pigs like to spend money. It would be a big mistake to put on a false front to impress others if you do not have the resources to support it. This year, you will be challenged to discover simple and inexpensive ways to live well, but you can do it.

Wisdom encourages an honest appraisal of your financial situation. In order to feel more in control, start the New Year by creating a very specific budget. Pigs will do their best to pay down debts and save as much money as possible.

Make it a rule to avoid making purchases on credit. June, July and August will be the strongest months to improve your finances.
