One cell of 144
Scorpio + Year of the Pig
Two calendars cross at your birth date. This is the cell where Scorpio meets the Year of the Pig, and the animal that lives in it.
Answer first
What animal is a Scorpio born in the Year of the Pig?
A Scorpio born in the Year of the Pig is the Deep Sea Anglerfish. The month and day set the Scorpio half, the birth year sets the Pig half, and the crossing points at one cell in a grid of 144. Read the Deep Sea Anglerfish for the full reading of that cell.
The two halves
What each calendar brings
The Scorpio half
Scorpio holds October 23 to November 21, fixed Water under Mars. You read what sits under the surface. Whatever you decide to keep, you keep completely, and the door closes without a sound. Read Scorpio 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 Scorpio and the Pig make together
Scorpio brings a depth that keeps its own counsel. The Pig year brings a generosity that means it. The Deep Sea Anglerfish carries both at once.
You do not bond halfway. Once someone is let in, your whole system rebuilds itself around them, permanently.
The Pig runs in a trine with the Rabbit and the Goat. Held to the same Scorpio season, those years give the Pallas's Cat and the Snow Leopard, 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 Deep Sea Anglerfish the same as being a Scorpio?
Scorpio is half of it. The Deep Sea Anglerfish is the specific crossing of Scorpio 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 Deep Sea Anglerfish's trine?
The Pig runs with the Rabbit and the Goat. Held to the same Scorpio dates, those years give the Pallas's Cat and the Snow Leopard, the two animals whose instincts sit closest to the Deep Sea Anglerfish's.
