Consider the Pig as the totem animal overseeing most of 2007. What do we know about pigs? They are highly intelligent, sensual, gregarious, tenacious, and, they know how to relax. They tend to move towards pleasure and away from pain. In the Chinese tradition, the pig is seen not as gluttonous or filthy but as honest, fun loving, patient and compassionate. People born in the year of the pig tend to be more tolerant of others, family oriented and rich with the abundance of life. In the year of the pig, we may all be guided by these traits, bringing into our lives more harmony, joy, sensual delight, generosity and happiness.
The Pig attracts according to his own nature and that means living life with wonder, bliss and fulfillment. By turning our attention away from things that we do not want to experience and focusing our thoughts and feelings on what we find pleasurable and fulfilling, the year of the pig will mark a time of great inner change and fulfillment. It is natural to have everything that we desire. The pig knows this, offering a time to gain a deeper understanding of the law of attraction and what we can do to live our lives more fully and creatively.
THE FIRE PIG 18 Feb 2007 – 6 Feb 2008
Active, outgoing and extroverted, Fire Pigs breathe new life into everything they do. These Pigs are vivid, motivated individuals who cannot be deterred from a goal once they have set it. They are emotional and passionate about their loved ones, their occupations and their objectives. They are bold and vivacious, unafraid to take risks despite the consequences. They make great bosses because they do work so hard and because they are so spirited. But don’t doublecross a Fire Pig. They have the ability to be quite abrasive when things don’t turn out as they planned.

A flying pig is a symbol of an impossible event coming to pass. Possibly the first occurrence of a pig actually "flying" occurred in 1909 when the British aviation pioneer Lord Brabazon made the first live air cargo flight with a pig in a basket tied to a wing-strut of his airplane. Additionally, if enough thrust is applied, any pig is capable of ballistic flight. John Steinbeck’s Pigasus was used as a personal stamp to symbolize Steinbeck as "earthbound but aspiring.... A lumbering soul but trying to fly...(with)...not enough wingspread but plenty of intention." At GB, we revere the idiom “when pigs fly” as “a reminder to live your dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem!”
