Pig at a glance
The Pig character
The Pig closes the cycle, and it closes it well. This is the sign of completion, abundance and good company — Pig people are the ones everyone wants at the table.
Pigs are sincere, warm and genuinely generous with both time and money. They enjoy life without apology, and they are far more industrious than their easy reputation suggests — they simply do not make a performance of it. Their blind spot is trust: a Pig assumes others are as straightforward as they are, and can be taken advantage of more than once by the same person.
- Genuinely kind and generous
- Calm, even-tempered and easy to be around
- Works hard without needing applause
- Forgives and moves on
- Too trusting, sometimes repeatedly
- Indulgent with money, food and comfort
- Avoids conflict until it explodes
Pig at work
Pigs suit hospitality, food and beverage, healthcare, HR, the arts, and client-facing roles. They dislike cut-throat sales cultures.
Pig in love
Devoted and uncomplicated. A Pig wants a warm, comfortable home life and gives enormous affection. They need a partner who will handle the practical and financial details honestly, because they would rather not.
