Zodiac
Pig (猪, Hai 亥)
Twelve Earthly Branches carry the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac — and Pig (猪, Hai 亥) is one of them. This page unpacks the branch as a room of your BaZi chart: what it is, what it feels like as the animal of your birth year, and the facts the engine can prove about it.
What this branch is
Hai is the gate of winter — the Pig, 21:00–23:00, when Water gathers and Wood comes on deck. Holding Ren and Jia, it is the easiest Water: deep, unhurried, generous.
What it feels like as your zodiac animal
When Pig (猪, Hai 亥) is the branch of your Year Pillar, the reading leans like this:
Pig charts are the most open of the water branches: easygoing, sincere and absorbing, like a lake that takes the year in.
The personality tint it tends to leave
In everyday life, a Year Pillar built on this branch often reads:
easygoing, generous, sincere, unhurried, indulgent
The Pig in daily life
Pig energy in daily life is easygoing, sincere and indulgent — the warmth that forgives quickly and the generosity that gives without arithmetic. At work you are steady and good-natured: you do honest work without drama, enjoy collaboration and excel where sincerity is enough. In decisions you are trusting and unhurried: you choose what feels right, lean on your instincts and dislike being pressured into haste. In relationships you are loving, devoted and forgiving: you give your heart freely, keep small accounts of wrongs small and want a home that feels safe and full. In health, Water governs your kidneys, bones and deep reserves: you are sturdy but need genuine rest, and pleasure can quietly take the wheel. Across the four pillars, 亥 in your Year shapes your roots; in your Month it seasons your career; in your Day it colors your marriage; in your Hour it frames your later years. Easy, deep and kind wherever it sits. Practical note for a Pig year person: enjoy deeply, then check the tank — pleasure is a fuel, and every fuel needs a gauge.
