Year of the Pig

Last year was the Year of the Dog and being a Dog myself based on Chinese astrology, it was very interesting to note if some of the predictions would come true. Looking back at 2006 I can say that it was one of my most fruitful years as far as being creative is concerned. It was also a year of self-discovery for me as I've started to get a clearer picture of where I want to be both personally and career-wise. Those two points were actually mentinoned on what's in store for Dogs in the year 2006. So whether you believe in this or not, you must admit it's quite fascinating.

Now 2007 is the Year of the Pig. (For fellow Dogs out there I've read that this will generally be a good year for us.) Let's learn more about those born on the Year of the Pig and what's in store for all of us.
