Chinese horoscopes: how’s your luck in November 2024, Water Pig month? Predictions for health, wealth, love and work as the Pig showers us with fortune and more

Chinese astrology is based on a combination of yin and yang; the five elements of fire, earth, metal, water and wood; and the 12 animals of the zodiac. A lunisolar calendar is followed, dictated by the rhythms of the solar system.

Water Pig Month: November 7 – December 6

The Pig relates to wealth, which is why we have piggy banks! It also relates to intelligence, home life, containment and completion.

The energy of November brings the potential for disorder with unexpected and sudden changes that are difficult to adjust to … but keeping an open mind can present unique opportunities to find a better way forwards through times of upheaval and chaos. It is better that you don’t resist the urge for the new and unusual, or rebel against changing conditions. Otherwise, the spontaneous energy may escape in a destructive way such as through a minor accident. Arguments or separation may result from impatience or unwillingness to adapt. Learning to adapt to change will help you feel less disconnected. Use this month to complete outstanding tasks.

How Pig-like are you?

People born under this sign are kind, sociable and will always welcome you into their home – their sanctuary. Industrious yet careful, they manage their energies intelligently. Their general philosophy on life is what is the point of working hard – they prefer to work well.

Innocent, sweet and lovable are just some of the characteristics of those born in the Chinese Year of the Pig. At times melancholy and oversensitive, Pigs love the company of others, and they adore parties, gossip and chit-chat. Although highly intelligent, they prefer to keep this side of their nature hidden. At times when the Pig is out of balance, they may appear complacent and dismissive.

Born in the Pig year: Many feel uncomfortable about announcing they were born in a Pig year, but you needn’t be as in Chinese culture, the Pig is revered as one of the luckiest and most respected signs of the zodiac. Many couples choose Pig and Dragon years to give birth as this is believed to boost the family’s luck and harmony. Pig individuals are considered kind, generous, and always willing to help those in need with their empathy and tolerance. They forgive and forget, and rarely bear a grudge as they see no point in conflict.

Born during the Pig month of November: You find fun in the most unpromising situations and conditions, with an infectious enthusiasm that many can’t resist. You love quality food and will always have a full and gracious table for all to enjoy. Difficulties in life can be turned around quickly with good food and good wine, and only the best will do. You have a healthy respect for hard work, but prefer to delegate than operate.

Born on a Pig day: Sensuous and popular, you will never be short of admirers and good friends. You enjoy being the go-to person as you have a natural empathy for those in need, always making time to listen and offering a warm shoulder or baking some nourishing food to share. You may take your appearance seriously, erring on the side of vanity. Think of the very lovely Miss Piggy!
