Welcome to 2019 - Year of the Pig!

Welcome to 2019 and we would soon be ushering in the zodiac year of the Pig!
​
If you may not be familiar, this would happen on the 4 Feb 2019 at 11:16am onwards. This means the luck of the Pig year will commence from this time. Importantly, if you are born from this time onwards, your zodiac is considered under year of Pig. Those born e.g. 4 Feb 2019 with time of say 11am or 10am is still considered as under the year of Dog zodiac. This is to avoid any confusion and most importantly, this affects your child’s bazi.

Year of Pig, begins at 4 Feb 2019, 11:16am

​Given that this is an earth pig year, this is represented by the 己亥 and this would be our main interest. (as under the year column)

What 己亥means is that earth is over water. In bazi and fengshui of the 5 elements, earth counters and attack water. As such, imagine the water being controlled and becomes resistant with wave and clashes. This applies to the year where change and unrest would be expected.

In the chart, fire is strong which also represents fire related industry would fare well this year. Think telcos, petrol, food related (F&B) or oil related industry. On the other hand, earth element is slightly weak and so do expect property or construction related industry to underperform in the market. Likewise, metal is weak too for the year. Sectors under metal industry such as engineering, banking, insurance or military would face a tougher year.

Those whom are looking for new jobs, may wish to note the above for this year or check your bazi before making decision.

The Pig year is the beginning of the water/winter season, followed by the Rat year in 2020. Those whose bazi favour water will surely enjoy good luck this period. Naturally, if your bazi favours fire, it would be best to lay low for this period.

On the macro aspect, the arrival of the water years in 2019 and 2020 may coincide with the stock market’s run. Year 2019 may be a turning point where since 2018 we may have already seen the best of the stock market. As such, best to reduce one’s stakes and pay attention to not get caught if the bear market arrives.

Here’s hoping you would have a great year in 2019 and best wishes!
