One cell of 144
Sagittarius + Year of the Pig
Two calendars cross at your birth date. This is the cell where Sagittarius meets the Year of the Pig, and the animal that lives in it.
Answer first
What animal is a Sagittarius born in the Year of the Pig?
A Sagittarius born in the Year of the Pig is the Tree Kangaroo. The month and day set the Sagittarius half, the birth year sets the Pig half, and the crossing points at one cell in a grid of 144. Read the Tree Kangaroo for the full reading of that cell.
The two halves
What each calendar brings
The Sagittarius half
Sagittarius runs from November 22 to December 21, mutable Fire under Jupiter. You aim past the visible horizon. The far thing pulls you harder than the near thing, every single time. Read Sagittarius 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 Sagittarius and the Pig make together
Sagittarius brings the pull of the far horizon. The Pig year brings a generosity that means it. One animal holds both, and its name is the Tree Kangaroo.
You leap further than seems possible, then you rest without apology until the next real branch appears.
The Pig runs in a trine with the Rabbit and the Goat. Held to the same Sagittarius season, those years give the Flying Fish and the Bar-headed Goose, 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 Tree Kangaroo the same as being a Sagittarius?
Sagittarius is half of it. The Tree Kangaroo is the specific crossing of Sagittarius 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 Tree Kangaroo's trine?
The Pig runs with the Rabbit and the Goat. Held to the same Sagittarius dates, those years give the Flying Fish and the Bar-headed Goose, the two animals whose instincts sit closest to the Tree Kangaroo's.
