Compatibility / Dog and Pig

Dog and Pig compatibility

Steady match

The Pig is also called the Boar.

Dog and Pig are a steady pairing, with no special harmony or clash. Both are sincere, warm and loyal; the Dog is more watchful and the Pig more trusting. They share a strong sense of decency and make a kind, comfortable team.

The traditional rules say nothing special about these two signs: no harmony pulls them together and no clash pushes them apart. That leaves more room for the actual people than for the zodiac. Pairs like this often grow by learning each other's rhythm rather than sharing one from the start.

In love

A caring, honest match. The Pig's easy warmth soothes the Dog's worry, and the Dog's loyalty makes the Pig feel safe. The Dog may fret about things the Pig would rather not think about, and the Pig's generosity can alarm the Dog's caution. Talk money and worries openly, because neither of you hides well.

As friends

Two good-hearted people who look out for each other. The Dog protects, the Pig provides, and both forgive easily.

At work

Strong in care, community, service and hospitality. The Dog keeps things fair and the Pig keeps them friendly. Neither enjoys tough negotiation, so bring in a sharper sign for that or practise it together.

One tip for this pair
