It's Official: 2007 Is MY Year, Baby!

You know, I knew I was on to something this year. And now it all makes sense... It seems that in the Chinese Zodiak, 2007 is the Yeare of the Red Fire Pig. And I, my friends, am a Pig. (No comments from the peanut gallery on that one, mmmmkay?) I thought there was something in the air this year that was making me feel so empowered and liberated, and this proves it.

Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year is Sunday, February 18.

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.
