Year of the Pig
The Pig is the 12th of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. The next Year of the Pig is 2031, a Metal Pig year starting on 23 January 2031.
The zodiac year starts at Chinese New Year, between 21 January and 20 February — so if you were born in January or early February, your animal is usually the one of the year before. (Some traditions, such as feng shui, start the year at Lichun, around 4 February, instead.)
