Pig children are robust and need little pampering, but they do require support and appreciation. They unconditionally love their parents, whose role is to supply much needed discipline and guidance. Pigs are not naturally rebels, and if you’re fair, they will be helpful and display a joyful attitude to life.

The Dragon Moon lasts until the 11th. Until then, family matters are highlighted. You’ll be able to solve some long standing problems and get everyone talking to each other again. Expect to hear from an old friend or ex-partner.

The 12th’s New Lotus Moon brings intellectual Celestial energies. These will enable you to study well, research, discover, create, optimise your talents and plan for the future. If you’re offered any new knowledge avenues, take them on – you won’t regret it. Be wary with money, as there’ll be extra expenditure and financial temptations. You probably won’t increase your wealth this month, but you will add some fresh experiences to your portfolio.

After the 18th, single Pigs will meet an exciting newcomer in an unusual way, while pre-partnered Pigs will be able to reach a deeper emotional understanding. At the 26th’s Full Lotus Moon, stay calm when telephones, laptops, printers, shredders or can openers malfunction.
