The Pig is also associated with the Earthly Branch (地支—dì zhī) hài (亥), and the hours 9–11 in the night. In terms of yin and yang (阴阳—yīn yáng), the Pig is yin. In Chinese culture, pigs are the symbol of wealth.
Their chubby faces and big ears are signs of fortune as well.
Pigs might not stand out in a crowd. But they are very realistic. Others may be all talk and no action. Pigs are the opposite.
Though not wasteful spenders, they will let themselves enjoy life. They love entertainment and will occasionally treat themselves. They are a bit materialistic, but this is motivation for them to work hard. Being able to hold solid objects in their hands gives them security.
They are energetic and are always enthusiastic, even for boring jobs. If given the chance, they will take positions of power and status. They believe that only those people have the right to speak, and that's what they want.
They are not the best with money. Though cool-headed, they are also gullible. They trust others easily and are often scammed. This can cause them to lose a fortune.
These men are also quiet. They love learning but don't really know how to put their knowledge into words. They're not conversationalists, but treat everyone warmly. This results in a large social circle. Whenever they run into difficulties, there are always people who stand up to help. Though people will lie to them, more will love them.
Women born in the Pig year are full of excitement. They attend social events whenever possible and treat everyone genuinely. Combined with their easygoing personality, they gain everyone's trust.
However, they are sometimes over-friendly. In their excitement, they can forget to give others personal space.
They also have good fortune with wealth. As long as they keep at it, the efforts will not go to waste. Though they don't start with an advantage, their hard work will keep money flowing in.
At home, they are highly organized. If the room is messy, they'd stay up the entire night to clean it up. These women love children too. Playing with children is one of the things that bring them the greatest joy.

The Pig is the twelfth of all zodiac animals. According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his party. Pig was late because he overslept. Another story says that a wolf destroyed his house. He had to rebuild his home before he could set off. When he arrived, he was the last one and could only take twelfth place.
The Pig is also associated with the Earthly Branch (地支—dì zhī) hài (亥), and the hours 9–11 in the night. In terms of yin and yang (阴阳—yīn yáng), the Pig is yin. In Chinese culture, pigs are the symbol of wealth.

OVERVIEWQuote
Rating: 3 stars
Blessed by auspicious stars yet affected by the inauspicious, you Horse people will see unpredictable overall fortunes in 2019, a year of Earth Pig. Throughout the whole year, your luck for career will be the best due to the blessing of three powerful auspicious stars, namely 'Zi Wei', 'Long De', and 'Lu Xun', so you can make breakthroughs easily at work. 'Bao Bai', an inauspicious star in charge of impact and breakup, will be bad for your relationship and you may easily break up with your love. As the career develops, your wealth will be on the rise but under the adverse impact of 'Xiao Hao', however, you may suffer financial losses. When it comes to health, you people under the Horse sign may have accidents and shall be careful if you are engaged in a high-risk industry. Fortunately, your luck for health won't be so bad due to the blessing of the auspicious stars but you still need to watch out to ride out the year.
WEALTH
Rating: 3 stars
'Xiao Hao' means a lot of trivial money losses while 'Bao Bai' means personal injury and dissipation of family fortune, especially for you Horses under age, who may spend with no limit and need to change your values and consumption concepts to better keep money. 'Tian E' may bring you financial losses caused by accidents. Blessed by 'Zi Wei' and 'Long De', you may encounter a benefactor who will solve your economic crisis when you are on a tight budget. Another good news is that you may get promotion and salary raise, and obtain other unexpected incomes in addition to those from work due to the blessing of 'Lu Xun'. To improve your wealth luck in the Pig year, you are suggested to wear a citrine bracelet with Horse sign.
CAREER
Rating: 4 stars
Jointly assisted by 'Zi Wei', 'Long De' and 'Lu Xun', you will find everything go well at work and turn ill luck into good whenever you are in trouble, ushering in an anticipated prospect. 'Lu Xun' in charge of fame and fortune means you will get promotion and salary raise. Under the blessing of auspicious stars, you can take the initiative to improve interpersonal relationship and expand contacts, which will benefit your career, even bring you new opportunities for cooperation. However, 'Xiao Hao' will make you prone to lawsuit and dispute, and you may offend others in workplace due to improper words; though 'Di Jie' can help you turn calamities into blessings, you still need to change your way of communication to avoid unnecessary troubles. To improve your career fortune and work smoothly in 2019, you are suggested to wear a Lapis Lazuli bracelet with Horse sign pendant.
LOVE RELATIONSHIP
Rating: 3 stars
Blessed by auspicious stars, your luck with the opposite sex will be good. You singles will get many chances to start a relationship. Since there is no blessing from an auspicious star in charge of love relationship and the luck for career is quite good, you Horses may focus on career and have no mood to date. If you are in a relationship, the negative energy of 'Bao Bai' will make you quarrel with each other, break up and make up, so you will find it hard to maintain the relationship. For married Horse people, you will spend most of your efforts on work, care and communicate less with your partner, which will make you alienate with each other. Due to the good luck with the opposite sex, some of you may have an affair and betray your marriage. To improve your relationship this year, you may wear a pink crystal bracelet with Horse sign or an Amethyst bracelet with Horse sign. It's also good place it under your pillow for better luck in love relationship.
HEALTH
Rating: 2 stars
Your health will be closely related with the career. The prosperous career means the consumption of energy and the long time struggle will lead to poor mental state and health condition. Affected by 'Tian E', you will encounter one after another accident. Additionally, you shall beware of fire and water risks. 'Si Fu', which means sad news in the year, reminds you to watch out the misfortunes of your relatives and friends. 'Bao Bai' and 'Si Fu' suggest the deterioration of diseases, so follow the doctor's advice, get careful treatment and hide nothing from your physician. Green agate bracelet with Horse sign is a good lucky charm for you Horses to exorcise evil spirits and protect health.

TOKYO — Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso has reluctantly apologized for saying childless people are to blame for the country's rising social security costs and its aging and declining population.
"If it made some people feel uncomfortable, I apologize," Aso said Tuesday after drawing complaints over a comment he made over the weekend at a seminar in Fukuoka, his constituency in southwestern Japan.
The gaffe-prone Aso, a 78-year-old former prime minister, is among conservative lawmakers in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government who've at times blamed the elderly or childless for long-term demographic trends. "There are lots of strange people who say the elderly people are to blame, but that is wrong. The problem is those who don't have children," he told the audience.
The comment was nearly the same as one he made in 2014 that also drew criticism. Others have made similar comments that many found offensive. In 2007, former health minister Hakuo Yamagisawa called women "birth-giving machines." In 2017, another senior ruling party lawmaker, Akiko Santo, said the government should consider awarding women who produced four or more children.
According to the latest government statistics, the number of births in 2018 fell to 921,000, the lowest since Japan began recording such statistics in 1899. Japan's total population fell by 448,000 people, a record decline, to 126 million.

My mom was born in '60 too. She had just turned 16 when she had me.
I had my son at 16 too... he died a few weeks short of his 24 th birthday.
Oh man, car accident?
My mom committed suicide when I was 23/24.
I don't know what to say Blazor.

Its ok, half the clues say suicide, and was ruled as suicide, but the other half of the clues I had point to murder.

I know it's off topic, but since the discussion took a turn, I thought folks might find this interesting.Quote from: "seoulbro"
TOKYO — Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso has reluctantly apologized for saying childless people are to blame for the country's rising social security costs and its aging and declining population.
"If it made some people feel uncomfortable, I apologize," Aso said Tuesday after drawing complaints over a comment he made over the weekend at a seminar in Fukuoka, his constituency in southwestern Japan.
The gaffe-prone Aso, a 78-year-old former prime minister, is among conservative lawmakers in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government who've at times blamed the elderly or childless for long-term demographic trends. "There are lots of strange people who say the elderly people are to blame, but that is wrong. The problem is those who don't have children," he told the audience.
The comment was nearly the same as one he made in 2014 that also drew criticism. Others have made similar comments that many found offensive. In 2007, former health minister Hakuo Yamagisawa called women "birth-giving machines." In 2017, another senior ruling party lawmaker, Akiko Santo, said the government should consider awarding women who produced four or more children.
According to the latest government statistics, the number of births in 2018 fell to 921,000, the lowest since Japan began recording such statistics in 1899. Japan's total population fell by 448,000 people, a record decline, to 126 million.
Japan will be a retirement home in the future.

Back in the 1980s I watched a documentary about Japan. Watermelons and Rock Melons (cantaloupe) were $70 each, apples were $6 each, and to buy an apartment it would set you back $1,000,000.00 so for that dipstick to criticize the population for not breeding is just ridiculous. Most couldn't afford to do anything except work ungodly hours and speak to their wives less than 2 minutes a day.
