Miss Piggy
Posted by guia at 04:26 PM on February 3, 2005.
I read something about women who were born between Feb. 12, 1983 and Jan. 31, 1984. I don't know how accurate it was, but it sure reminded me of several people I know. 
To lesser "Piggy" Pigs, don't hate me. This just scratches the surface of your otherwise scary sign, and I didn't want to type the entire thing so I just chose the easily recognizable traits over the situation-specific ones.
The Pig
Endearing and gallant, gentle yet strong of will, those who are born under the sign of the Pig are the vanguard of purity and good. Nothing is too much to ask of a Pig. No secret will escape her lips, no disappointment daunt her loyalty nor scar her belief in the basic worth of humankind. Though she may falter and stumble in the face of treachery and ill will, the Pig usually emerges clean as a whistle, brandishing the banner of humanitarianism and charity.
When you first meet a Pig, she would seem too good to be true. She is careful and genuinely caring, worried on how she will strike you, courteously hesitant to call you by your first name and so opulently well-mannered as to make you wonder if she has been lobotomized.
Maybe this gentle, cultivated approach is one reason why she is always so attractive. Marriage-minded men find docile, gracious, cultured lady Pigs irresistibly wifely. Lady Pigs are the easiest to marry off in Chinese culture. Then, too, marriage-craving women snap Piggy men right off their mothers’ apron strings and hog-tie them for life.
A Pig person is among the most likeable, respectable, and upstanding citizens of this planet. She is one of the nicest, most loving people around. She has the warmest, most graciously furnished living room, the most infallible good taste and a magical gift for making guests feel both satisfied and special.
She is attuned to the other, geared towards exteriorizing her goodness. She almost seems born to give, to yield and to serve. She is constantly sacrificing her own happiness and comfort for the sake of somebody else: a child, a mate, a dog or a cat, a neighbor who is sick or a colleague at work. In sickness and in health, she is always there to fetch juices and hot water bottles for those she loves.
A Pig can never utter an untruth without fearing the worst. Her good deportment and will to behave are not based on cunning or a desire to get more than her share of applause or attention. She just doesn’t believe there is any other way.
She is not much in the use of her tongue for thinking purposes. She does not function well in circumstances where negotiation requires quick on-her-feet volley of words. Rather, where language is a factor she is advised to let others do the business talking. Nevertheless, when she is in a comfortable social situation where she does not feel threatened, she can literally take the floor for an entire evening of storytelling, banter and jokes.
Not only is a Pig easy to fool, she likes it that way. She clings to the idea that everybody is beautiful and inherently good. No matter how old she gets, she never ceases to believe in that goodness. Take Snow White, who is an archetypal Pig lady, for example—she turned the miserable hovel of the Seven Dwarfs into a cheery home in the woods and never asked for anything in return. She pleaded to whatever goodness and humanity there was in the woodman, her stepmother’s paid assassin, to spare her life; and she got almost killed thrice by the same old woman who, she thought, could never do her any harm with combs and ribbons and apples. That is a Pig lady in a nutshell, although there is often more to her than mere naiveté.
Although often lacking in caution, a Pig is usually an intellectual. To remove books and cultural events from her life would be both cruel and foolish. Since she is sensitive as well as emotive, what she gathers from reading and attending plays, concerts, art openings, and the like feeds her soul and has a stabilizing effect on her sometimes tormented spirit. Because she is neither flashy in dress or demeanor, this creature of habit and docility often goes unnoticed in crowds. Please don’t think for a minute that because she appears shy or retiring in a group, this position of ignominy does not bother her. On the contrary, it troubles her deeply and causes her to feel insecure and unworthy. She always wishes she were not so vulnerable, but her timid nature is uncooperative in this regard.
Sadness is an emotion with which a Pig feels at home. She is rarely guilty of self-pity, but she will suffer for the woes of others.
A Pig lady either has an obsession for cleanliness or has none. If she has, her home will always be, as they say, “clean as a pig’s whistle”. If not, well, just try imagining a typical pigsty, or better yet, the outcome of an undetected hurricane.
She likes to indulge, often in food, but baths and massages come in close second. Also, she seldom can resist the siren’s call of cute trifles and pretty clothes. Although she is not a spend-thrift, she often makes purchases on impulse, especially when she feels she has long been denied of a treat.
Some Pig ladies refuse to grow up. They feel safe in the role of daughter where the flood of responsibility is not always up to their noses. A lady Pig loves to be mothered and likes to know that someone bigger and stronger will fight the battles for her.
In love affairs, the Pig woman is rarely the aggressor. She wants to be courted, seduced and brought swooning to the marriage bed. As a young woman, she dreams of a Prince Charming who will break her passivity’s shell, sweep her off her feet and carry her to the land of love and lollipops. (“Someday my Prince will come… and away to his castle we’ll go, we’ll be happy forever, I know…”) She practically lives for the ideal of romantic love; she wants to submit, be taken care of and adored and, most of all, to give pleasure.
