That which has always been one way has always been another.
“Transformation is not bound to any form”  The Great Commentary.

The Pig is the most versatile of the Chinese Zodiac Animals; people born under this sign (in any Pillar) are often spoiled for choice between talents. And in the Tiger Year they will be among the most favoured. This is partly because of the Pig’s special relationship with the Tiger; technically they combine to make Wood. Both are made stronger by this, the Tiger more fierce, the Pig more creative. And now the first signs of the Tiger year are with us.

As it happens this month for the above and other reasons, brings the first seeds of the New Year. The Qi which has been dipping since shortly before the peak of Fire at the Summer Solstice, turns around on the 12^th. It is a way away yet but Spring is coming. Can you feel it?

The only constant of course is change. Here in Godalming, last night brought the first frost, a hard one, the car needed scraping this morning and the leaves on the budleia were stiff as parchment. The tropical plants are safe inside now and the effect upon vegetables as yet undug will vary. Just as we see the first traces of the distant Spring, the ground becomes concrete.

The Earth Pig of this month however is not the most flexible of the Pigs; that’s yin Earth for you, likes to stick to the point. Not always such a bad idea. And this 5 Month brings some kind of reckoning as the Nine Stars return to their homes. That’s another way in which this month brings a taste of 2022.

In my Tiger Year Forecast Day, on the 4^th and 5^th of December I will be elaborating on the likely shape, trends and portents of 2022, as the underlying Qi changes. What’s coming down the pike with the Water Tiger of 2022? For your home, yourself, your livelihood and the World beyond? I also become available for Zoom Tune-Ups from January 17.

The world changes and that which has always been one way has always been another.

The Month of the Earth Pig, Animal by Animal:
These generic forecasts carry different nuances dependent upon whether this Animal rules your Year, Month, Day, Hour or Life House.

Pig (1947, 59, 71, 83, 95; births in November*, 9-11pm & on certain days#) You may find advice and even assistance insufferable. Reconsider, I should.

Rats (1948, 60, 72, 84, 96; births in December* 11pm-1am & on certain days#). Frustrating and pre-climactic.

Ox (1949, 61, 73, 85, 97; births in January*, 1-3am & on certain days#) The blocks feel so much bigger because they are new to you.

Tiger (1950, 62, 74, 86, 98; births in February*, 3-5am & on certain days#) Ambivalent: simultaneously empowered and impeded. Note the first, accept the second.

Rabbit (1951, 63, 75, 87, 99; births in March*, 5-7am & on certain days#) Protect & include the Sheep. 2^nd consecutive month with romantic possibilities. Value yourself.

Dragon (1952, 64, 76, 88, 2000; births in April* 7-9am & on certain days#) Less resistant, more perverse than last month; play to your strengths.

Snake (1941,53, 65, 77, 89; births in May*, 9-11am & on certain days#) Opposed; tack, steer into the skid. It may take you where you need to go.

Horse (1942, 54, 66, 78, 90; births in June*, around midday & on certain days#) Third party disputes. Stick to your guns and the point.

Sheep (1943, 55, 67, 79, 91; births in July*, 1-3pm & on certain days#) Help at last. Liaise with Rabbits; this may mean networking from home. Accept help.

Monkey (1944, 56, 68, 80, 92; births in August*, 3-5pm & on certain days#) Proxy fights; declare peace pre-emptively.

Rooster (1945, 57, 69, 81, 93; births in September*, 5-7pm & on certain days#) Some kind of sacrifice called for to avoid greater loss..

Dog (1946, 58, 70, 84, 96; births in October*, 7-9pm & on certain days#) Some gain but choose your day(s) – the better ones are later in the month.
* Chinese Months start later than European ones. # You’ll need help or a Chinese Calendar for this.
