Pig - Pig Love Compatibility in Chinese Astrology

Contrary to the unhappy associations of the animal in western culture, the Pig in Chinese astrology is associated with a nature that is mostly loving, sensitive and idealistic but also mysterious and difficult to understand. As such while two individuals of the same sign are ideally placed to respond to each other’s needs, they also stand in danger of suffering from the same faults which in turn may damage their relationship.

High points of a Pig-Pig love match

A defining characteristic of the Pig personality is their rich imagination which lends a many-hued creativity to their lives, including romantic relationships. Thus a Pig-Pig pair can be trusted to have a fantastic courtship, full of old-world romance and deep emotional intimacy. While such attributes can enrich any other relationship, it is all the more special between two Pigs since they are best placed to understand and appreciate their wanderings together through a dream world. While the frequent imaginative flights of a Pig might appear escapist to the more practical sign like the Ox or even passive to their intense and energetic Dragon, it is the perfect way for a fellow Pig to spend time in each other’s company. They will write each other the most touching love letters, go for long moonlit drives and while making love, reach for the highest planes of ecstasy which they can rarely hope to achieve with anyone else.

A far more important consequence of the Pig’s vivid sense of imagination is an ability to reach out emotionally to their partners. The Pig is inherently capable of putting him/herself in a partner’s shoes and view a situation with their perspective. This makes a Pig lover naturally caring and sensitive to his/her partner’s needs and wishes, whether emotional or physical. While this kind of empathetic imagination is a blessing in any relationship, it is particularly crucial for the mutual compatibility of Pig lovers because of their innate shy nature and inability to communicate expressively. The Pig has neither the Rat’s powers of communication nor the Horse’s supreme confidence to put forth their feelings and perspectives. Hence it is extremely important that a Pig be in a relationship with someone who can intuitively understand their deepest thoughts and emotions and who better equipped to do this than a fellow Pig? Thus when a Pig is feeling low or brimming with happiness, his/her Pig lover can be depended on, not only to notice it but respond in an appropriate way.

The most important aspect of the Pig-Pig love match however is a mutual ability to understand and respond to each other’s emotional needs. The Pig is exceedingly emotional in nature and holds the exchange of innermost feelings and thoughts with a partner as one of the primary conditions of being in love. Unfortunately not everyone can understand this compulsion; to a practical sign like the Rooster or Ox, the Pig’s expectations smack of sentimentality while to more independent signs like the Tiger and Horse, the Pig’s need for emotional security appears suffocating. Thus the Pig can hope to be really understood by another emotional sign; even here the moodiness of the Dog and the hyper-sensitivity of the Goat are unlikely to make them ideal partners for the Pig. It is only with a fellow Pig that a Pig can hope to achieve complete understanding of their emotional needs as well as the reassurance that comes with emotional security.

Challenges of a Pig-Pig love match

However the emotionality of this sign also poses the biggest challenge to the Pig-Pig pair. In a relationship where both partners seek to view experiences through the prism of feelings, reality can get distorted and small issues often blown out of proportion. Since the Pig lacks the emotional detachment of the Tiger sign or the common sense of the Ox sign, it might be extremely difficult for them to cater to the practical demands as well as cope with the niggling problems of everyday living. A Pig dislikes being rushed to do things or fulfil responsibilities; while this is an endearing fault in highly creative personalities, it might make day-to-day living for a Pig couple rather chaotic and stressful, perhaps even leading to a breakup.

Then again the Pig tendency to shirk unhappiness and disharmony makes them take things, even unpleasant ones, in their stride rather than talk it out or adopt a proactive stance towards resolving them. Thus a Pig couple might continue with their unhappy lives and eventually succumb to depression or simply drift away from each other to avoid conflict.

Part of the reason why a Pig couple may suffer from a lingering unhappiness is because neither partner of this love match will have the capacity to initiate effective communication. The Pig needs to be with someone who has the ability to make them talk, to express their deepest needs. This can go a long way in helping the Pig to adopt a wider perspective and avoid internalizing situations. Thus two Pigs living with each other may never get around to expressing their true feelings with the result that misunderstandings and even bitterness may continue to build up, resulting in a major conflict sometime down the line.

Another area in their lives where the Pig-Pig pair may face problems is finances. Since this sign is highly sensual in nature, it is quite likely that both partners will freely pamper each other - and themselves - with sensual indulgences; in the process their finances can go haywire and may even cause instability in their lives. Thus the Pig couple should take care to stick to a plan that includes pleasure but in moderation so that their finances are as smooth as their relationship with each other.
