Compatibility / Horse and Pig

Horse and Pig compatibility

Steady match

The Pig is also called the Boar.

Horse and Pig are a steady pairing, with no special harmony or clash in the traditional rules. Both are warm, sociable and generous with their time, so they get on easily from the start. The difference is pace: the Horse is always leaving for somewhere, the Pig is happy where it is.

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

An affectionate, easygoing match. The Pig gives the Horse a warm place to come home to, and the Horse keeps the Pig's life from getting too comfortable. The Pig can feel left behind when the Horse's plans do not include it, and the Horse can feel smothered by too much togetherness. Say how much time apart feels right, and mean it.

As friends

The Horse brings the adventure, the Pig brings the snacks. Easy, forgiving company, with a lot of laughter.

At work

Good front-of-house partners: the Horse wins the customers and the Pig keeps them. Neither is the natural accountant, so put the numbers in safer hands or agree a monthly check.
