One cell of 144
Libra + Year of the Pig
Two calendars cross at your birth date. This is the cell where Libra meets the Year of the Pig, and the animal that lives in it.
Answer first
What animal is a Libra born in the Year of the Pig?
A Libra born in the Year of the Pig is the Roseate Spoonbill. The month and day set the Libra half, the birth year sets the Pig half, and the crossing points at one cell in a grid of 144. Read the Roseate Spoonbill for the full reading of that cell.
The two halves
What each calendar brings
The Libra half
Libra runs from September 23 to October 22, cardinal Air under Venus. You weigh both pans before you speak. The balance you hold for other people is labor, and you do it so smoothly they call it charm. Read Libra in the Western wing.
The Pig half
The Pig closes the cycle and shares its trine with the Rabbit and the Goat, the gentle diplomats. You give generously and mean it, which is rarer than it sounds. Recent Pig years are 1995, 2007 and 2019. Read the Year of the Pig.
The crossing
What Libra and the Pig make together
Libra brings the instinct to level the two pans. The Pig year brings a generosity that means it. Put both in one creature and you get the Roseate Spoonbill.
Everything vivid on you was gathered from the shallows, sweep by sweep, and made your own color.
The Pig runs in a trine with the Rabbit and the Goat. Held to the same Libra season, those years give the Crowned Crane and the Luna Moth, the two crossings whose engines run closest to yours.
The boundary
Born near the boundary?
The Chinese year does not turn on January 1. It turns at the lunar New Year, somewhere between late January and mid February, so a birthday in those weeks can belong to the animal before this one. The year finder checks the real date for any year you give it.
Common questions
Questions about this crossing
Is the Roseate Spoonbill the same as being a Libra?
Libra is half of it. The Roseate Spoonbill is the specific crossing of Libra with the Year of the Pig, one cell out of 144. Two people can share a Sun sign and carry different animals, because the birth year changes the second half.
What if I was born in January or February of a Pig year?
The Chinese year turns at the lunar New Year, which lands between late January and mid February. A birthday in those weeks can belong to the previous animal, so the year finder checks the real boundary before the grid names your crossing.
Which crossings share the Roseate Spoonbill's trine?
The Pig runs with the Rabbit and the Goat. Held to the same Libra dates, those years give the Crowned Crane and the Luna Moth, the two animals whose instincts sit closest to the Roseate Spoonbill's.
