Pigs are warm, generous and enjoy the good things in life. They work hard for those they love, though they can be naive and indulgent.
As a Yin Metal sign, your element adds its own flavor to the Pig nature. Tradition pairs each animal with one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in a repeating cycle, so the same animal has five different elemental versions over 60 years.
