Year of the Earth Pig – 2019

2019-06-19T21:00:39-05:00

All manner of deficiencies born of the Rooster & Dog years will be brought back into balance.  So much so, we must not become too complacent.  The Pig is a bit blasé', allowing for a certain carelessness. Inattention, perhaps bordering on the reckless.  So, enjoy, but watch your money The Pig will calm things down, [...]

"Good Dog!" "Bad Dog?" 2017 richly rewarded risk-taking, while the Fire Rooster's rude awakenings came home to roost amid the combustible chaos of the Chinese Phoenix Year.
