One cell of 144
Pisces + Year of the Pig
Two calendars cross at your birth date. This is the cell where Pisces meets the Year of the Pig, and the animal that lives in it.
Answer first
What animal is a Pisces born in the Year of the Pig?
A Pisces born in the Year of the Pig is the Blue Glaucus. The month and day set the Pisces half, the birth year sets the Pig half, and the crossing points at one cell in a grid of 144. Read the Blue Glaucus for the full reading of that cell.
The two halves
What each calendar brings
The Pisces half
Pisces holds February 19 to March 20, mutable Water under Jupiter. You absorb what the room is feeling. The boundary between you and the water around you is thinner than most people's, and it is where your gift comes in. Read Pisces 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 Pisces and the Pig make together
Pisces brings a boundary thin enough to feel everything through. The Pig year brings a generosity that means it. The Blue Glaucus carries both at once.
You drift wherever the current takes you, and you have already turned the sharpest thing that ever touched you into the strength you keep at your own fingertips.
The Pig runs in a trine with the Rabbit and the Goat. Held to the same Pisces season, those years give the Moon Jellyfish and the Ghost Pipefish, 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 Blue Glaucus the same as being a Pisces?
Pisces is half of it. The Blue Glaucus is the specific crossing of Pisces 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 Blue Glaucus's trine?
The Pig runs with the Rabbit and the Goat. Held to the same Pisces dates, those years give the Moon Jellyfish and the Ghost Pipefish, the two animals whose instincts sit closest to the Blue Glaucus's.
