WATER PIG
Personality
Occupying the last position in the Chinese Zodiac, the 12th, the Pig symbolizes such character traits as diligence, compassion, and generosity. Pigs enjoy life and because they are entertaining, others enjoy their company. Pigs are giving souls and reap much enjoyment when they’re helping others, but sometimes they give too much. Honesty is what Pigs give and it’s what they expect to receive in return.

Pigs seek peace and will do what is necessary to maintain it. This trait, while admirable, sometimes makes it easy for others to take advantage of Pigs. Pigs are always doing for others, helping anyway they can, but rarely will they ask others for help. This can overwhelm and stress them, but Pigs don’t mind.

When it comes to money, Pigs enjoy spending more than saving. They gravitate towards name brand items. Thriftiness happens only occasionally, but Pigs do know how to find great deals.
Fuzzy's Take: Okay, fairly right on most points. I do like helping out other people quite a bit, it gives me a warm squishy feeling inside. You wanna honk me off starting unneccessary drama such as starting a fight just for the sake of a fight is one way to do it. And I do really like it when people are upfront with me. However I take offense to the spending more than saving bit, I do save whatever I can for fun things later if they're available, it's saying something that of my 3 siblings I tend to save whatever I get and not buy readily.

Health
Always seeking fun, Pigs often indulge more than they should. Excessive eating, drinking and smoking can cause sickness. Pigs aren’t very active and, combined with their excessive behaviors, cause them to gain weight. Pigs are social and being alone makes them unhappy. Pigs would benefit from adopting a healthier lifestyle.
Fuzzy's Take: I admit I do have a weight problem, from excessive eating and a lack of exercise. I do like being with people, but to me social (the wisconsin definition: bars are social) seems to always be in the vein of 'hanging around with people I don't know' and that just skeezes me out a bit. Small group of friends playing games and snackin or DDRing? BRING IT ON.

Career
Pigs enjoy helping at work and can always be counted on. They enjoy opportunities that allow them to express their creativity. Pigs are detail-oriented, a trait admired by management. Pigs aren’t afraid to take on responsibility. Some good career choices for Pigs include: entertainer, caterer, doctor, veterinarian, or interior decorator. They’d do well in retail or hospitality.
Fuzzy's Take: Haven't gotten a retail job yet but I did love doing the detail work and helping to decorate birthday cakes at the Bistro this past summer. I like doing work, but give me work that's just me going around on a hamster wheel and getting nowhere fast and I'll start wondering why the heck I'm there.

Relationships
Supportive and giving, Pigs make great partners. They’re affectionate and sexual and prefer staying home to going out. They enjoy what they have, especially their home and family. Once they find the right partner, they’re typically committed for the long-term.
Fuzzy's Take: ...jury's still out on the sexual thing. I do prefer a night in with homecooked grub.

Water Pigs are trustworthy almost to a fault. Others can easily influence Water Pigs, but Water Pigs are also good at influencing others to get what they want. They’re extremely social and enjoy having a good time.
