Overall

Pigsy is the helper of Monkey. Though you may be assailed by swine at every turn, remember the monkey has not forgotten you and that you still have something in the piggy-bank, no-one else need be bringing home your bacon. The spring and autumn forecasts are for rain, do you want to be a pig in mud? Summon your inner razorback. You’ll not be hogging the limelight, but you’re no ruminant.

Health

Piglet, while the Flying Stars this year see the No.2 Illness Star at centre stage, which threatens an outbreak of communicable disease, we’re confident it isn’t a new strain of Swine Flu. Your health is looking good, although rest is encouraged from September. Best not bore everyone with details of your rashers. They’re minor and will clear up.

Wealth

For those warthogs roaming the savannah of self-employment and consultancy, this year is a good one to survey the clover laid out before you. For those whose coin comes in regularly, you’ll need to shout that you’ve got the right stuff if you want more of it.

Love

Swine, women and song. You were made for love, oink oink! The Tai Sui will try to send you to the piggery. But remember, the more you’re rejected, the closer you get to the piggyback that will lift your piggy spirits and the one that will allow you to make a pig of yourself. Pearls before swine is just what you want!

Career

Well, once upon a time there was an animal farm, and the pigs did rather well. Wonder where that farm may be today? Patience and perseverance, and it’s the early pig who gets the promotion - just make sure that’s not a sale of fresh pork at the supermarket.
