Pig

Takes its pleasures plainly, and trusts easily because it means it.

Pig is the last branch, the hour before the cycle turns back to Rat and starts again — the day's last plain comfort before rest. In a chart it reads as an honest appetite for good things: food, warmth, company, said and wanted without much disguise. People experience this as generosity, sometimes read as naivety or indulgence when it's really just a lack of interest in pretending otherwise. It shows up loudest wherever it sits in your four pillars — a year Pig carries it into your public reputation, a day Pig makes it your own temperament.
