Pigs love the finer things in life. Pigs love to wallow in pure luxury. Even the poorest Pig, of which there aren’t many, will make sure that his surroundings are no less than sumptuous. If you ever need to re-do your interior get a Pig friend to help you, it is their forte. I had a Pig friend once who was not only absolutely gorgeous but he was nothing more than a student and working in a second hand clothes shop, as most of us were at that time. But when I first walked into his flat I could have fainted. I say flat, it was just a room. There were satin throws on the ceiling above his luxurious bed, shelves full of books, even his dirty washing looked as though it had been placed by an artist, I felt quite ill, then he comes towards me with a glass of the finest red wine and started reciting poetry to me. Needless to say I was bowled over by this and formed quite a crush!

After that description of the Pig you may want to go out and test one out for yourself. The best places to find them are places of culture, so museums are a good place to start. Or perhaps a ballet? Pigs are pure bred class in every way. They are also pure of heart and would hate to think they had upset anybody, ever. Pig people are too nice it has to be said. And can be taken advantage of by lesser beings and it’s not nice to watch. They will always go out of their way to help people and have an inability to say no. They also hate crime and even if you tell them a story about someone who did “something” they will shudder and turn pale, for this Pig is one of the very rare good guys.

All Pigs love food far too much. They love to eat as often as possible, and as well as the finer foods can get quite a taste for junk food, thus resulting in a chubby Piggy! So you may have to keep the keys to the fridge.

So far we could be led to believe that the Pig person is faultless and perfection incarnate. Sadly, no. They have one major fault, which is their red hot fiery hide - in - the - cupboard temper! It comes from nowhere, just all of a sudden your darling Pig will start bouncing off the walls. My advice? Start cooking something tasty, food is the only thing that will tempt your Pig out of his temper tantrum.

Pigs panic. They are the ones who often take days off work, and when you go round to see if they are OK you see that the Pig has merely stubbed his toe. The problem is that Piggy starts to worry thinking that one knock could lead to some killer infection. Keep this Pig away from health books, especially the A to Z of health problems otherwise they will end up having most of the symptoms in the book. Due to his love of food and drink the Pig is prone to tummy upsets, but this won’t stop him from indulging. Not much will. Pigs need to live in the country, but with access to the culture that the big city holds. If you’re lucky enough to own one of these immensely lovely creatures then keep an eye on the contents of the fridge, and make sure Piggy gets enough sleep, he can suffer with insomnia.

The Pig is most compatible with: Dragons, Goats and classy Rabbits. If you work at it the Rooster can be a good match also. Whatever you do don’t let any Snakes slither into your sty.
