Welcome to my web page on the "pig" sign from the Chinese (birth) animal zodiac. The story behind this web site is quite unique. A friend of mine, who is a little, shy, China lady, is crazy about pigs. She was born under the Chinese zodiac sign named the "Pig", and thus her hobby is collecting various ornamental pigs from this Chinese (birth) zodiac. She collected a huge number of such ornamental pigs. She also collected everything that is connected with the Pig Chinese zodiac sign. Her collection is so extraordinary, while the stories she tells about pigs are so amazing, that I tried to convince her to present her extraordinary collection in Interned. But she decisively refused. So I convinced her to allow me to present her collection, and repeat some of her stories, on a web site. She agreed under the condition that she remains anonymous. In this way, through this web page I would like to ask you, to venture with me into a magic world of mysteries, zodiac signs, horoscopes, pigs, destiny, etc. Have a good fun! * * * Western world usually sees pigs as providers of bacon for breakfasts, as symbols of someone being untidy, or as sources of "non halal" food for some religions. But pigs also carry out various mystic qualities, which were acknowledged for centuries by folk wisdom of many nations, and which are being rediscovered only recently. For example they usually have a nice character, which in a sweet manner is reflected in the famous Australian film "Bebe" (where a piglet is a main hero). Doctors know that pigs are the only animals, which can become donors of organs to be transplanted directly into humans. Pigs are also (deserved) symbols of sexual vitality. Actually I have a friend, who is always repeating quite seriously, that in his next life he wants to be reincarnated into a pig, as supposedly in pigs ... lasts 30 minutes, though only a few seconds in humans (I do not know if this is a fact proven scientifically, or just a hopeful wish of this friend). Finally pigs are well known by researchers from various "alternative sciences". For example, it is experimentally confirmed by numerous hypnotic regressions, that the last animal into which our souls reincarnate before we become humans, are pigs. Therefore during hypnotic regressions into past lives, frequently one of our previous lives turns to be a life of pig.

Fig. 1 An antique ceremonial teapot. In old days it was used for tea ceremonies, when a person born under the sign of the pig was paying respect to family elders.	#1. Pigs represent ceremonial objects:        Pigs can be used to all sorts of ceremonies. In China ornamental teapots shaped into pigs, as shown to the left, are used for the so-called "tea ceremonies" of individuals born under a zodiac sign of the pig. Such a tea ceremony is a kind of customary manifestation of respect, usually shown by young people towards their elders. It mainly depended on a rather ceremonial completion of a series of rituals that revolve around giving a cup of tea to elders, and ceremonial drinking this tea. An extremely interesting tea ceremony seems to be practiced by the Chu-Yin tribe from Taiwan. Thier ceremony is carried out in the form of a ritual dance. Of course, pigs are also used for various ceremonies not only in China. For example, in Papua New Guinea pigs are slottered ceremonially to celebrate all type of events. In some old religions pigs were also used as offerings to gods.
#2. Pigs are mysterious:        Although people usually do not realize this, apart from obvious properties, pigs have also numerous mysterious qualities that are not so widely known nor researched by present official sciences. But some of these qualities we know from folk wisdom, as they are treasured for centuries in Eastern cultures. Also Western culture lately started to recognize some of them. A best example of such already recognized mysterious qualities of pigs, is their telepathic ability described below. Let us now discuss some of more widely known out of these mysterious qualities of pigs: 1. Telepathy. Telepathic abilities of pigs are already well known to farmers and butchers. For example it is widely known that pigs cry when they are being send to the abattoir. If you wish to learn more about mechanism of telepathy (thus also about the mechanism which allows pigs to intercept human thoughts), have a look at a web site entirely devoted to telepathy. The address of this web site is as follows (click on this address to shift there): telepathy.50megs.com. Especially you can be interested to learn from there about experiments done on telepathic perception of human thoughts by non-humans (e.g. by plants), that are objectively detectable by a technical device called "encephalograph" (also known as a "lie detector"). These telepathy experiments are described in chapter C of treatise [7/2] entitled "Pyramid of thoughts" available free of charge from the telepathy.50megs.com web site. In turn the mechanism of telepathy is well explained in subsection H7.1 (volume 4) of monograph [1/4]. 2. Telekinesis. Mechanism of telekinesis is such that it can also be implemented by various animals, including pigs. For example, it is stated by folklore, that wild pigs cannot be locked in any fenced enclosure, no matter how strong, because they always manage to break free. It is believed in some folklores (e.g. in the Polish one), that wild pigs utilize their telekinetic powers, to free themselves in case of such imprisoning. More details on mechanism of telekinesis you can find in subsection H6.1 (volume 4) of monograph [8] [1/4] downloadable free of charge from many web sites, e.g. from (click to run it): telekinesis.50megs.com. 3. Healing. Pigs are also known from their healing powers. Although presently people stopped to use these powers, these are still known to folklore of various nations. For example in old days arrowheads were removed naturally from bodies of knights, through eating certain parts of pigs. Also modern medicine slowly rediscovers healing powers of pigs. For example, so-far pigs are the only known animals, which allow transplant of organs directly to humans. A miracolous aspect of healing is discussed on the web site: milicz.fateback.com/malbork_uk.htm. 4. Feelings. It is well known that pigs show feelings, similarly like people do. An example of such a manifestation of the crying of pigs, is when they go to the abattoir. More information about the mechanism and origin of feelings, which explains why feelings can also be experienced by pigs, is contained in subsections I5.5 and JA7 of monograph [1/4] that is downloadable free of charge from many web sites, e.g. from: pigs.20fr.com. 5. Reincarnation. Research on the hypnotic regression carried out by various "alternative sciences" indicates, that the last animal into which people reincarnate just before they become humans, are pigs. This may explain the real reason why some religions forgive to eat pork. More about reincarnation may be found in subsection I4 of monograph [8] Totalizm.	Fig. 2: A family of crystal pigs. They, perhaps, represent their last reincarnation into animals, before they become humans!
Fig.3: Examples of collectable pigs.	#3. Pigs are collectable:        In order to enhance purpose of our lives, and also to make life easier to our friends/relatives, we need to collect something. After all, if someone collects something, there is no problem to choose a gift from such a person - we just get another item for his/her collection. But to buy a gift for someone who does not collect anything, is a nightmare. So people, please collect something - thus make lives of others much easier! Ornamental pigs are very cute collectables. Also very interesting are collections of other Chinese zodiac sign animals, under which we are born. I recommend to start them as soon as possible - your friends and family members are eager to buy them for you!
#4. Pigs are functional:        Notice how many uses the same shape of a pig may have. We have clocks, cutting boards, fridge magnets, piggy banks, albums, and many other items shaped as pigs. Further such objects are awaiting your intiative to design and produce them. Countles people born under the sign of pig are awaiting for them!	Fig. 4: An egg cooking clock made in the shape of a pig.
Fig. 5: Fridge magnets shaped like pigs. How to find out what is your birth animal from the Chinese zodiac: It is really simple. You just need to match your date of birth with a list of Chinese years assigned to subsequent zodiac animals. The only problem is that in the Chinese Moon calendar the date of each New Year is actually moving (similarly as this is with dates of Easter celebrations in Christian cultures). Therefore Chinese years do not correspond exactly to European years. But the Chinese New Year Day always happens sometimes in January or February - as listed below. Therefore, your Chinese birth year matches your European year - if you are born somewhere between March and December. In turn if you are born in January or February, then better check from the list of dates of subsequent Chinese Years provided below, to which exactly Chinese year, and thus also to which Chinese zodiac sign, and to which element, you belong. Note that the first date shown on the list below (in the format dd/m/yyyy) is the date of subsequent Chinese New Year. In turn the next date on this list, is the date of the last day of a given Chinese year. Following these two dates, the Chinese zodiac sign proceeded by the element prevailing in a given Chinese year, are listed: 5/2/1924 - 24/1/1925 = Wood Rat 25/1/1925 - 12/2/1926 = Wood Ox 13/2/1926 - 1/2/1927 = Fire Tiger 2/2/1927 - 22/1/1928 = Fire Rabbit 23/1/1928 - 9/2/1929 = Earth Dragon 10/2/1929 - 29/1/1930 = Earth Snake 30/1/1930 - 16/2/1931 = Metal Horse 17/2/1931 - 5/2/1932 = Metal Sheep 6/2/1932 - 25/1/1933 = Water Monkey 26/1/1933 - 13/2/1934 = Water Rooster 14/2/1934 - 3/2/1935 = Wood Dog 4/2/1935 - 23/1/1936 = Wood Pig 24/1/1936 - 10/2/1937 = Fire Rat 11/2/1937 - 30/1/1938 = Fire Ox 31/1/1938 - 18/2/1939 = Earth Tiger 19/2/1939 - 7/2/1940 = Earth Rabbit 8/2/1940 - 26/1/1941 = Metal Dragon 27/1/1941 - 14/2/1942 = Metal Snake 15/2/1942 - 4/2/1943 = Water Horse 5/2/1943 - 24/1/1944 = Water Sheep 25/1/1944 - 12/2/1945 = Wood Monkey 13/2/1945 - 1/2/1946 = Wood Rooster 2/2/1946 - 21/1/1947 = Fire Dog 22/1/1947 - 9/2/1948 = Fire Pig 10/2/1948 - 28/1/1949 = Earth Rat 29/1/1949 - 16/2/1950 = Earth Ox 17/2/1950 - 5/2/1951 = Metal Tiger 6/2/1951 - 26/1/1952 = Metal Rabbit 27/1/1952 - 13/2/1953 = Water Dragon 14/2/1953 - 2/2/1954 = Water Snake 3/2/1954 - 16/2/1955 = Wood Horse 17/2/1955 - 11/2/1956 = Wood Sheep 12/2/1956 - 30/1/1957 = Fire Monkey 31/1/1957 - 17/2/1958 = Fire Rooster 18/2/1958 - 7/2/1959 = Earth Dog 8/2/1959 - 27/1/1960 = Earth Pig 28/1/1960 - 14/2/1961 = Metal Rat 15/2/1961 - 4/2/1962 = Metal Ox 5/2/1962 - 24/1/1963 = Water Tiger 25/1/1963 - 12/2/1964 = Water Rabbit 13/2/1964 - 1/2/1965 = Wood Dragon 2/2/1965 - 20/1/1966 = Wood Snake 21/1/1966 - 8/2/1967 = Fire Horse 9/2/1967 - 29/1/1968 = Fire Sheep 30/1/1968 - 16/2/1969 = Earth Monkey 17/2/1969 - 5/2/1970 = Earth Rooster 6/2/1970 - 26/1/1971 = Metal Dog 27/1/1971 - 15/1/1972 = Metal Pig 16/1/1972 - 2/2/1973 = Water Rat 3/2/1973 - 22/1/1974 = Water Ox 23/1/1974 - 10/2/1975 = Wood Tiger 11/2/1975 - 30/1/1976 = Wood Rabbit 31/1/1976 - 17/2/1977 = Fire Dragon 18/2/1977 - 6/2/1978 = Fire Snake 7/2/1978 - 27/1/1979 = Earth Horse 28/1/1979 - 15/2/1980 = Earth Sheep 16/2/1980 - 4/2/1981 = Metal Monkey 5/2/1981 - 24/1/1982 = Metal Rooster 25/1/1982 - 12/2/1983 = Water Dog 13/2/1983 - 1/2/1984 = Water Pig 2/2/1984 - 19/2/1985 = Wood Rat 20/2/1985 - 8/2/1986 = Wood Ox 9/2/1986 - 28/1/1987 = Fire Tiger 29/1/1987 - 16/2/1988 = Fire Rabbit 17/2/1988 - 5/2/1989 = Earth Dragon 6/2/1989 - 26/1/1990 = Earth Snake 27/1/1990 - 14/2/1991 = Metal Horse 15/2/1991 - 3/2/1992 = Metal Sheep 4/2/1992 - 22/1/1993 = Water Monkey 23/1/1993 - 9/2/1994 = Water Rooster 10/2/1994 - 30/1/1995 = Wood Dog 31/1/1995 - 18/2/1996 = Wood Pig 19/2/1996 - 7/2/1997 = Fire Rat 8/2/1997 - 27/1/1998 = Fire Ox 28/1/1998 - 15/2/1999 = Earth Tiger 16/2/1999 - 4/2/2000 = Earth Rabbit 5/2/2000 - 23/1/2001 = Metal Dragon 24/1/2001 - 11/2/2002 = Metal Snake 12/2/2002 - 31/1/2003 = Water Horse 1/2/2003 - 21/1/2004 = Water Sheep 22/1/2004 - 8/2/2005 = Wood Monkey 9/2/2005 - 28/1/2006 = Wood Rooster 29/1/2006 - 17/2/2007 = Fire Dog 18/2/2007 - 2/2/2008 = Fire Pig 2008 = Earth Rat 2009 = Earth Ox 2010 = Metal Tiger 2011 = Metal Rabbit 2012 = Water Dragon 2013 = Water Snake 2014 = Wood Horse 2015 = Wood Sheep 2016 = Fire Monkey 2017 = Fire Rooster 2018 = Earth Dog 2019 = Earth Pig	#5. Pigs are the final animal of the Chinese (animal) zodiac sign:        Chinese (birth) zodiac is composed of 12 animal signs. Each one out of these animal signs prevails for one year, after every 12 years. For example 2003 is the year of Sheep, while the next year of Sheep is going to be in 2015. The subsequent signs of Chinese zodiac are: Rat (1996, 2008), Ox (1997, 2009), Tiger (1998, 2010), Rabbit (1999, 2011), Dragon (2000, 2012), Snake (2001, 2013), Horse (2002, 2014), Goat - sometimes also called sheep (2003, 2015), Monkey (2004, 2016), Rooster (2005, 2017), Dog (2006, 2018), and Pig (1995, 2007). You can see that the Pig is the last sign of this zodiac. Subsequent past years of Pig included: 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995. In one of them the friend of mine, a little China lady whose collection of ornamental Pigs inspired this web site, was born. Incoming years of Pig include: 2007, 2019. If you are born in any of these years, you are (like this my friend, little China lady) from year of the Pig. Your own zodiac sign you can determine by adding 12, 24, 36, or 48 years to the year of your birth, and comparing the result with years listed above (this is because after each 12 years the zodiac sign is going to repeat itself, but for a next element - as explained below). For more information on Chinese astrology contact: Chinese.astrology.com * * * People who are born in a year of Pig are characterized by many rare qualities. Here is how Chinese horoscopes usually describe them. They are charming, witty and gallant. They display a great strength and devotion in whatever they do. For them there is no turning sideways or distraction, no left or right, and no retreat. They have enormous fortitude and great honesty. They do not have many friends, but they treasure them and keep them for life. Everyone who has a Pig friend is fortunate, as they are extremely loyal. They do not gossip much. They have a great thrust towards knowledge. They study constantly and are well informed. However, these born in the year of Pig are quick tempered. Fortunately they hate arguments and quarreling. They are kind to their loved ones. No matter how bad problems seem to be, Pig people try to work them out - honestly although sometimes impulsively. They are most compatible with people born in the year of Rabbit or Sheep.
#6. Pigs can symbolise 5 elements of the Chinese zodiac:        Chinese zodiac have 5 elements. These include (listed in the generative cycle): - water, - wood. - fire, - earth, - metal, Each subsequent animal from the Chinese zodiac calendar always belongs to one of these 5 elements. In this way, Chinese do not just have one year of the pig repeated many times, but 5 different years of the pig, each one of which belongs to a different element. For example, here is a list of subsequent years of the pig, with the element that dominated them (note that Chinese years are based on the Moon calendar, thus they do not extend from 1 January to 31 December, but they usually start sometimes in January or February, and extend to another January or February - as listed below): from 22/1/1947 to 10/2/1948 = fire pig, from 8/2/1959 to 28/1/1960 = earth pig, from 27/1/1971 to 16/1/1972 = metal pig, from 13/2/1983 to 2/2/1982 = water pig, from 31/1/1995 to 19/2/1996 = wood pig, from 18/2/2007 to 2/2/2008 = again fire pig, etc. Each one of these elements prevails for two subsequent years. For example years: 1996 and 1997 were fire years (thus people born in 1996 belong to a fire rat, while people born in 1997 belong to a fire ox), 1998 and 1999 were earth years (thus tiger of 1998 was an earth tiger, while rabbit of 1999 was also an earth rabbit), 2000 and 2001 were metal years, 2002 and 2003 were water years (thus the goat of 2003 is a water goat), 2004 and 2005 are wood years, and 2006 and 2007 are again to be fire years (thus pigs born in 2007 are to be fire pigs; previous fire pigs were born 60 years earlier, means in 1947). The animal of the Chinese zodiac assigned to someones year of birth defines a general type of character that one has, while the element that is assigned to the year of birth (and to this animal) defines major behaviours and relationships of this person. For example, if a lady born in 1944 (i.e. a wood monkey) is married to a man born in 1946 (i.e. a fire dog), she sometimes is going to throw wooden coconuts on his head, while he in return sometimes is going to breath fire on her (thus their life together is not going to be boring at all). For more information on Chinese zodiac contact: Chinatoday.com, or Chinese Culture Centre.	Fig. 6: The order of 5 elements used in the Chinese (animal) birth zodiac. These include (counting clockwise starting from the top): water, wood, fire, earth, metal (then again water, etc.). Each element prevails for 2 years, then it is replaced by a next element from the above list. Years 2002 and 2003 were water years. This means that their events were dominated by water. Years 2004 and 2005 were wood years. This means that their events were dominated by the wood element. In turn years 2006 and 2007 are fire years. This means that the majority of events which affect humans in these two years are to be dominated by the fire element.

#8. Pigs may express your wishes:        Pigs may represent various amulets and good wishing objects. For example Chinese have "good luck pigs", one of which is shown in Figure 8. Such a pig brings good luck or wealth if appropriately used, on a similar manner as various other amulets do. More information about principles on which amulets and good wishes objects do work is explained in subsection K5.7 from volume 6 of monograph [8] entitled "Totalizm". Another example of a good luck charm (which actually brings good luck to those who carry it) is a logo of totalizm, that can be seen on every web site of totalizm, and that is described in subsection H1 from volume 5 of monograph [8] entitled "Totalizm".	Fig. 8a: A Chinese "good luck pig" (also called "fortune pig"). It bears insignia of all wishes and attributes important to Chinese people. Notice the symbol of wealth shaped like chinese money (i.e. like small boats made of gold), a symbol of longevity (i.e. a special type of a peach), a symbol of official power (i.e. an official stamp) and also a symbol of vitality and health (i.e. horns of a dear). The pig itself is also a symbol of fertility, as it is a female one and well endowed. Fig. 8b: Chinese "good luck monkeys" (also called "fortune monkeys"). Practically every animal from the Chinese zodiac has its "good luck symbol". Because the year 2004 was the "year of (wooden) monkey", here is shown how "good luck monkeys" are typically depicted in Chinese symbolism. Please notice, that similarly like this was the case with the "fortune pig" shown previously, also "fortune monkeys" have the same insignia of all wishes and attributes important to Chinese people. So you also can notice the symbol of wealth shaped into a pile of chinese coins (i.e. monkeys are sitting on this pile), a symbol of longevity (i.e. a special type of a peach which monkeys carry), a symbol of official power (i.e. an official stamp visible between coins), and also a symbol of vitality and health (i.e. on the other side horns of a dear should be visible). Monkeys themselves are also symbol of fertility, as there is a couple of them (a male and a female).
Fig. 9: An ornamental piggy-bank made of china.	#9. Pigs may accomodate wealth:        E.g. you can cast them out of gold or diamonds. Thus as collectables can accomodate your wealth.
#10. Pigs are perfect as ornamental motives of your flat:        You may made everything in your flat shaped like pigs. In this way your flat would intrigue, as well as surpise your visitors.	Fig. 10: A kitchen cutting board made in the shape of a pig (Rimu tree timber, New Zealand).
Fig. 11: One of these charming ladies is the shy owner of the collection of ornamental pigs partially shown on this web site. I wonder whether the reader manages to guess which one.	#11. Guess which one is the owner:        This web site turned out to be very popular. It is visited every day in average by around 10 interested viewers. Some visitors are rather curious who is this charming China lady that owns the collection partially shown on this web site. Well, she is shy, charming, and very devoted to her hobby. Although she remains anonymous, I feel privileged to be able to provide a tiny hint: together with her best friend she is shown on this photo. I wonder if anyone manages to guess which one of these two charming and cheerful ladies is she.
#12. Pigs are just another manifestation of "chi":        Ancient Chinese used to explain everything with the use of concept, which they called "chi". According to them, everything represents just various manifestations of chi. In turn by this "chi" they used to understand a kind of invisible although intelligent substance, together with the phenomena that takes place in this substance. Because this "chi" is intelligent, it controls the course of events in our world in an intelligent manner. This is why everything that happens to people is governed by appropriate laws, fate, karma, etc. This is also why, according to Chinese, our fate is depended on chi. So in order to lead happy and prosperous lives, in everything that they do Chinese take under consideration laws that govern this chi. For the study and for applications of these laws, various traditional Chinese disciplines are entirely devoted, for example "tai-chi", "feng-shui", "kung-fu", etc.        Although many modern people treat this ancient Chinese knowledge as just a kind of superstition, actually there is a wealth of solid evidence that there is more to it than modern orthodox science can imagine. For example everyone knows that acupuncture works in practice. Well, it works only because it unblocks the natural flow of chi. We know that "kung-fu" masters are able to break iron bars with bare hands or heads (actually I saw with my own eyes such a breaking of a thick iron bar with just one hit of head). Well, it is only possible because they mastered the control and proper channeling of chi. Finally a device was build, which used "chi" to predict quite long in advance when and where earthquakes are going to strike. This device is shown on Figure 12. I invite you to have a look at another web site chi.coms.ph or chi.maroc.to (also prepared by myself - i.e. by Dr Jan Pajak), where the operation and history of this extraordinary device is explained in details.	Fig. 12: A device for remote detection of impending earthquakes. Historic records indicate, that the original device similar to that shown above was able to detect an earthquake at a distance of over 500 km. Modern versions of these devices should be able to detect earthquakes from satellites on Earth's orbit, and even from different planets. In Internet descriptions of this devicet can be found under a misleading name of the "Zhang Heng seismograph". According to old descriptions, it operates on principles of the "chi" (or more strictly "houfeng") interception which is continually broadcasted into space by earthquakes that are brewing up. So-far it is the only device on Earth, which is able to warn us about a devastating earthquake that is just about to hit, a sufficient time in advance to allow for an effective escape. Therefore this device has potentials to save countless lives of these unfortunate humans that so-far used to perish in earthquakes. An extraordinary history and principle of operation of this device are explained e.g. on the following (mirror) web pages: totalizm.pl or chi.maroc.to.        An extraordinary attribute of the above device is, that after appropriate redesigning of the "antenna chamber" that it utilises to sense telepathic waves, it is also able to detect remotely the impending tornados. After all, many phenomena induced during the generation of tornados are identical to phenomena induced during earthquakes - as an example consider the "piezoelectric effect" during tornados generated by smashed grains of sand. Thus the principle of operation that the above device utilises, enables it to be also used as a remote sensing device which detects a tornado that just is brewing up. More information about just such application of this device for remote detection of tornados is provided on several web pages listed in "Menu 4" and in "Menu 2", e.g. on pages members.fortunecity.com/timevehicle/tornado.htm, totalizm.nazwa.pl/tornado.htm, or energia.sl.pl/tornado.htm.
