Personality
The Dog and Pig sit in the north-west, the direction of the spirit and the unseen. People missing them are said, in reverse, to seek spirituality and ideals strongly and to hold a world view of their own. This type is called off-the-track luck (spiritual). You think beyond convention and ask deeply what things mean.
Love and marriage
In love you value a meeting of hearts above all and long for an ideal partner. You bond deeply with someone who widens your world in conversation and shares your values, more than with someone who ticks boxes.
Work and what suits you
Research, art, religion or philosophy, teaching and making things, work where you can give shape to your world view. You put out great power in work that feels meaningful, more than for money or titles.
When are the years?
Two years in a row come round every twelve years. The year changes at Risshun (around 4 February).
