The happy pig is razorback, and it will be a year where there is little to truffle your hams. It is not an entirely dream ride in the mud fun park, but whatever orthogonal bumps look to get your bristles up, they are snout going to be too important and should not hamper your progress. Hoof it on over to where you want to be and enjoy the nibbles at the swinery - nothing this year should leave you steaming.

Nothing pathogenic appears in the cosmic background this year, but if you have a spare rib, keep it ready in case. Why? Well, while the Tai Sui is no longer focused on you, early in the year you should keep your trotters firm and clean to outflank anything that may try to stifle you. You will want to be cured but unsmoked - that is the best way to keep you away from a grilling. Later in the year, should you find yourself flipped, only because the universe really just wanted to rub your belly.
Not completely a year for lining up the silk purses on the mantlepiece. Your basic finances should be fine, but the Lesser Squandering Star lurks in the shadows, encouraging you to make foolish decisions. There is no need to be rasher about anything, but on risky money you will not do better than to play the hedgehog. Let them cast all their pearls before you, you only need to take enough to keep the piggybank healthy.
The spigot of love is open. While the stars of love may not be hunting you down this year, the Lunar Virtue Star is there to guide you through and assist where possible. In relationships, it may seem that an invisible hand is turning you into piggy in the middle. Squeal too loud and the dream might vanish, enjoy the attention and having clover fed to you from the rafters.
Leaning into work might help with some of the issues that never appear on the whiteboard yet grunt along in the background. The chances of a braise may not be so high, tusk, tusk, but you will always be making the cut this year. Use your talents for making a comfortable residence into settling yourself in for the whole-hog this year.
