Career. Your workload may lessen this year, and will be much easier compared to last year. Make sure that you are friendly with your superiors. They will help you to advance later in your career. For entrepreneurs, it’s not a good year for you to develop your business. You will need to deal with law enforcement or fines. Don’t expect good returns from real estate projects. For employees, if a company is offering you a new job, consider carefully because the challenge is great. If your professional experience, working enthusiasm, unlimited energy are there, then accept the opportunity. Otherwise, consider staying in your current position.
Love. Issues related to pregnancy and children will be much discussed. You are likely to find out something about your partner that will change your relationship and whether it is good or bad depends on what you will find out. Female Pigs will meet their mate. You will find him at happy events or activities. Male Pigs will also have good luck but not as good as the female Pigs. You might have to spend more money on developing a relationship. Strengthen links with family and friends you care about and leave the ones who hurt you.
Health. You might run afoul with the law and become injured. You will easily contract diseases but nothing serious. Avoid dangerous hiking, climbing, or adventurous activities. Pay attention also to the health conditions of your elders, especially the males. An unexpected illness or accident might happen. Seek immediate treatment to avoid serious consequences.
