Happy New Year - Year of the Pig


It's the year of the pig, which many are claiming means conflict and more natural disasters.

"The Year of the Pig will not be very peaceful," said Hong Kong feng shui master Raymond Lo.
Feng shui is the ancient Chinese practice of trying to achieve health, harmony and prosperity by using specific dates, numbers, building design and the placement of objects.
The pig is one of 12 animals (or mythical animals in the case of the dragon) on the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, which follows the lunar calendar. According to Chinese astrology, people born in pig years are polite, honest, hardworking and loyal. They are also lucky, which is why many Chinese like to have babies in a pig year.
"Any children born in The Year of Pig will receive help from others throughout their lives," Lo said.

Well the hog with big nuts (aka Bill Beavers, self proclaimed)is causing enough havoc in Chicago, so there might be some truth to this

My little angel is the year of the rat. I've got kids that are snakes, sheep, monkey and pig. What a nice group of animals.
