General Description of All Pigs
"Its better to give than to receive" would probably be the Pig's motto. Pigs are more comfortable giving of their own time or attention than they are to ask others for it. They do not find asking for help an easy task and would rather carry the burden themselves. Pigs will do anything they can to maintain a sense of peace amongst family or friends. This can lead to a tendency to be taken advantage of, but Pigs basically forgive and forget everything. They are compassionate souls who simply want to keep the peace.

Detailed Description of The Water Pig
Water Pigs go with the flow and usually trust people before they truly know them. This, of course, can get them into trouble because they are often too trusting for their own good. Water Pigs are quite easily influenced; yet, can be very persuasive when it comes to getting what they want. These people love parties and social situations and enjoy giving of themselves to help others.

Dual sign - Water pig and Capricorn
You're constantly drawn between two contradictory tendencies on one hand, the desire for perfect autonomy and an adult life with well assumed responsibilities; on the other hand, the temptation of escape into a well protected universe.

In any case, you've an enormous need of affection and warmth, although you've difficulty exteriorizing your feelings. You depend much on your close ones for your happiness. You're profoundly attached to your beloved ones and your home, finding in them the center of stability which reassures you and makes you bloom. You try to highlight your weakness in order not only to keep secret your real moral resistance but also and above all to attract sympathies to yourself. When you're sufficiently self-assured, you readily let appear the merry side to your character; but when you're anxious, which is more often the case, it's your cold, reserved, and ambitious side that surfaces.

You've a good flair in financial matters, which generally assures you of good material ease. Your fear of want makes you accumulate possessions. You're particularly well favored in all that's related to real estate, antiquities, teaching, and handicraft.

Heartwise, you always have difficulty leaving your family. It's why, generally, you engage yourself into marriage or stable union only late. You also like to make your life with someone clearly older than you.
