Were you born a Wood Pig
The correct window for this cohort runs from 31 January 1995 through 18 February 1996. If you were born between 1 and 30 January 1995 you belong to the 1994 Wood Dog year, not Pig. If you were born on or after 19 February 1996 you are assigned to 1996 Fire Rat. The rollover happens on Lunar New Year and not on the first day of the calendar year, so early January birthdays do not follow the wall calendar signs.
Core personality and the Wood effect
The Pig is open handed, steady, and sincere, with a strong bias toward generosity and real comfort for self and team. You enjoy honest food, honest work, and honest people, and you dislike power games, false urgency, and status contests that add heat without value. You are tolerant and patient, yet you have a hard line when someone abuses trust. The Wood layer brings growth, learning, and cooperation, so this version of the Pig builds people and systems that can keep giving for a long time.

Strengths, traps, and how to use them
Your top strengths are warmth, stability, and a practical eye for what keeps humans effective across months and years. You welcome people, defuse drama, and hold a team together with consistent care, clear service standards, and generous credit for good work. You see what actually feeds energy and what quietly drains it, and you fix the basics first so larger plans stick. In a world full of noise, your consistency is not boring, it is a competitive edge.
Your traps are soft spots for takers and a tendency to delay hard calls because you want to give one more chance. That is how small leaks turn into big losses and how burnout creeps in while you keep smiling for the room. The fix is a firm intake process for people and projects, with written standards, clear milestones, and a real stop rule for missed commitments. Tie generosity to measurable progress, cap the number of rescues you will run in a quarter, and keep a simple record so you can point to facts instead of reliving every past promise.
Career and business fit
You thrive in roles that reward care, continuity, and sustainable output. Operations, customer success, service leadership, people development, and community management all pay well for your calm presence and long horizon thinking. You are the person who improves a process without killing the human side of the work and who can scale kindness without letting the budget bleed. Environments that measure outcomes and value retention will see your value fast.
In business you do best with products and services that make life simpler, healthier, safer, or kinder. You excel at growing loyal customers with fair pricing, honest guarantees, and clear support. Your Wood layer loves to document, train, and improve, so you create playbooks and rhythms that turn good quarters into good years. You will never be the loudest voice in the room, but you can be the one who ends the quarter with the cleanest numbers and the fewest fires.

Jobs to avoid
Skip chaotic sales floors that reward pressure over service, orgs that treat burnout as a hero story, and cultures that celebrate shortcuts at the expense of trust. You will waste energy cleaning messes made by people who never planned to care in the first place. Avoid work that lives on constant crisis mode without fixing root causes. Your patience will be exploited in those settings and your best traits will get used up without return.
Money and systems
Your best plan is simple, automatic, and durable across busy seasons. Pay yourself first with a strong savings rate that leaves your account before you see it. Keep an emergency fund that covers months of expenses and do not dip into it for anything that is not an emergency. Favor broad index funds for the core, add steady retirement contributions, and invest a small skills bucket in courses or tools that lift your income.
Run quarterly reviews on a set date so you never skip. Split risk into three buckets that you can describe in one sentence each: cash for emergencies, core assets for the long run, and a small explore bucket for learning. Write sell rules before you buy, such as rebalance bands or thesis breaks, and then honor those rules without emotion. Track cost basis and fees, and keep a one page summary so you always know what you own and why you own it.
Love and relationships
If you are single, you look for kindness, effort, and basic life competence before you care about flair. You have no interest in games or mixed signals that waste time, and you are not impressed by people who chase attention and forget to show up. Date at a calm pace, ask concrete questions, and watch how they behave with service staff and with their own friends. A good match will bring spark without drama and will share your instinct to build a steady life.
If you are in a relationship, your loyalty is strong and your love language is practical care. The risk is quiet resentment when chores, money, intimacy, or plans drift into autopilot. Fix this with weekly check ins on household duties, money reviews once a month, and planned time together that you both protect. You do not need grand gestures as much as you need consistency that proves the bond is alive, not just old.
Best and harder matches
| Sign | Why it works or does not | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Rabbit | Gentle, thoughtful, and values peace that you protect | Avoid overgiving in a way that makes your partner passive |
| Goat | Creative and kind, enjoys the comfort you build | Agree on money rules so treats do not turn into stress |
| Snake | Strategic and private, can drain you with control plays | Set firm boundaries early and keep decisions in the open |
| Monkey | Quick and playful, can clash with your need for stability | Balance fun with commitments that both of you will honor |
Health and routine
You need a routine that survives busy months without drama. Anchor the week with three strength sessions focused on full body basics, two steady cardio blocks, and a daily walk after meals to help mood and blood sugar. Keep a fixed sleep window that you guard, a caffeine cutoff in the early afternoon, and a simple meal plan that repeats on workdays to reduce choices. Add one social block and one solo block every week, both non negotiable, because you need both community and quiet to stay balanced.
Cycle timing you can reuse any year
The Pig cycle relevant to you includes 1983, 1995, 2007, and 2019. In a Pig year, protect your base, raise service standards, and invest in tools that make care easier to deliver at scale. In a Rabbit or Goat year that supports your nature, expand programs, deepen partnerships, and take on larger stewardship with clear guardrails. In a Snake or Monkey year, tighten budgets, cut distractions, and let calm consistency win while others burn energy on noise.
