2019 – The year of the Earth Pig

On the 4th of February, exactly at 11:14, we are officially entering the year of the Earth Pig. As many of you know, each animal corresponds to five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. These combinations recur every 60 years; the last time we had Earth Pig was in 1959. A long time ago, indeed. And this is the beauty of BaZi: we all experience only one or two particular combinations in our lifetime, ensuring life is never dull.

The last year, the Earth Dog, was particularly heavy, with its excess of Earth Element. We noticed that many people had relationship issues, primarily due to the Earth Dog’s heavy and somewhat depressing influence.

Earth Pig is quite different, and although there is some Earth, the Water Element is the most dominant energy in 2019. Those with a lot of Earth will be more fortunate this year. Pig is seen in the analysis as moving energy (in contrast to Dog’s static energy), so things will be pretty different this year.

Generally speaking, all Yang Wood and Yin Wood Master Elements, who lack Water, will have quite a good year. Earth represents the Wealth Component to them, while Water supports ME, providing stability to obtain that Wealth. If Yang or Yin Wood ME already has too much Water, outcomes may not be smooth. For Wood, ME, Water represents the Resource Component.

Yang Fire and Yin Fire ME, if strong, will benefit from the cooling effect of the Pig, but if weak, will be more troubling. For Fire ME Pig, Water represents the Power Component.

Yang Earth and Yin Earth ME, if strong, will benefit from Pig’s Water. If weak, it might wash them away, causing trouble. For Earth ME Pig’s Water represents Wealth Component.

Yang Metal and Yin Metal, if strong, Pig’s Water will act as an output, which is beneficial; if weak, Pig will make them even weaker. For Metal ME, Water represents the Creativity Component.

Yang Water and Yin Water are already strong; Water might not be beneficial. If weak, it will be invaluable. For Water, ME Water represents Body Component.

That would be a general overview, but to draw proper conclusions, one has to review the exact Chart and identify combinations, clashes, and harms. To see how strong your Master Element is, please get in touch with us via CHAT, and we will provide a brief overview.
