This combination creates the 60-year cycle due to the least amount of years it would take to get from Yang Wood Rat to its next iteration, which always starts with Yang Wood Rat and ends with Yin Water Pig. Since the zodiac animal cycle of 12 is divisible by two, every zodiac sign can only occur as either Yin or Yang: the Dragon is always yang, the snake is always yin, etc. The current cycle began in 198.
When trying to traverse the lunasolar calendar, an easy rule to follow is that years that end in an even number are yang, those that end with an odd number are yin. The cycle proceeds as follows:
- If the year ends in 0 it is Yang Metal.
- If the year ends in 1 it is Yin Metal.
- If the year ends in 2 it is Yang Water.
- If the year ends in 3 it is Yin Water.
- If the year ends in 4 it is Yang Wood.
- If the year ends in 5 it is Yin Wood.
- If the year ends in 6 it is Yang Fire.
- If the year ends in 7 it is Yin Fire.
- If the year ends in 8 it is Yang Earth.
- If the year ends in 9 it is Yin Earth.
Brice is a Fire Horse. So far last century, Fire Horses have only occured in these two years: 1906 and 1966, the next being 2026. The Chinese believe that anyone born during a year of the Fire Horse will possess greatly enhanced characteristics in both their positive and negative attitudes and traits; they are the extremes of the astrological signs. This seems to sum him up fairly exact.
I am an Earth Pig or Boar and the Earth Pig is in no rush to get to the top of the ladder. He/she would much rather take one step at a time and proceed on the merits of proper planning and preparation rather than being driven by blind impulse and momentary inspiration. This is the result of an abundance of patience in the Earth Pig which would even impress a sign known for steadfastness like the Ox. In the final analysis, the Earth Pig is more assured than others of reaching his/her final goal and experiencing success.
On the flipside though, a dense element like Earth may make the Pig more passive than usual so that in absence of motivation, this sign could be in danger of sinking into lethargy and inertia. However an ingrained sense of self-preservation makes such a likelihood extremely rare and the Earth Pig would in all probability adopt a sensible approach to life and its vicissitudes.
Even though the Earth element brings about a bent for practicality and materialism, it by no means cancels out the kind and compassionate nature which is basic to the Pig sign. On the contrary the Earth Pig has a better idea of how to make things work to the advantage of others and can create opportunities that stand to benefit both him/herself as well people who are close to him/her.
It is this rational perspective in life that makes the Earth Pig such a supportive partner in relationships as well. He/she will do their utmost in ensuring that their partners and family members lack for nothing. On his/her part, the Earth Pig needs a home environment that is comfortable, secure and stress-free. Like other members of the sty, this Pig too functions best when feeling happy and secure in a relationship.
Yes thats me.
