These values are computed from the Earthly Branch and tropical sign, not looked up in a table. The year element follows the sexagenary cycle; the sign facts follow the tropical zodiac.
Venus and the Pig's sensual Water nature agree on what matters: good food, soft surroundings, loyal company, and being left alone to enjoy them. No other Pig combination sits this contentedly, though contentment shades easily into a refusal to move. A Taurus Pig builds comfort like a craftsman, then guards it with Fixed-sign stubbornness, which makes them dependable to a fault and slow to admit when the comfortable thing has gone stale. They give generously to the people inside their circle and barely register the ones outside it. As partners they're steady, physically affectionate, quietly possessive, more bothered by disruption than by distance. The element mismatch shows up as a tug between earth's wanting-to-keep and water's wanting-to-please: they overspend on someone they love, then resent the dent in their security. Their characteristic failure is inertia dressed up as loyalty, staying in jobs and arrangements past their usefulness because leaving feels like betrayal. Treat your own comfort as something to grow rather than hoard and the warmth becomes hospitality instead of a moat.
Personality
At core, this is someone whose Pig year gives freely and makes people feel genuinely welcome, filtered through a Taurus sun that brings sensual steadiness. As a fixed sign, the Taurus side holds things. It commits hard and changes direction reluctantly, which is both its anchor and its trap. The blend reads as a study in two minds, the kind of person who is diligent, fair, and easy to trust while wanting, underneath, what every Taurus wants: security it can actually feel.
In love
In love, the Pig is affectionate and sincere, sometimes to a fault, while the Taurus side gives comfort and follow-through. What this person ultimately wants from a partner is security it can actually feel, and they give devotion the Pig's way. Read traditionally, the 亥 branch (winter, oriented North-Northwest) describes exactly this pattern of advance and withdrawal in intimacy.
Career
At work, the Pig is diligent, fair, and easy to trust. The Taurus layer adds comfort and follow-through, and the fixed cast means this person holds things. Venus-ruled, the Taurus Pig is at its strongest given a clear aim and the room to pursue it its own way.
The shadow side
The shadow side is specific. The Pig in this person gives past its own limits and resents it quietly afterward; the Taurus in them can over-rely on sensual steadiness. Under stress the two failure modes can feed each other, gives past its own limits and resents it quietly afterward reinforcing a Taurus that digs in. Naming it is most of the cure: this combination grows the day it stops defending the weakness as a virtue.
The Taurus Pig combines the Pig year (Water, yin) with a Taurus sun (Earth, Fixed, ruled by Venus). The Taurus Pig sets Pig's warm, open-handed generosity against Taurus's sensual steadiness. The two systems describe different textures here (the adaptive flow of Water underneath an earthy, grounded temperament), and the interesting part of this combination is how those two currents negotiate.
Do the Eastern and Western sides of a Taurus Pig agree?
Not directly. The Water of the Pig year and the Earth of the Taurus sun describe different temperaments, and the interesting part of this combination is how those two currents take turns.
Who is the Pig most compatible with?
In the branch relations, the Pig's natural ally (六合) is the Tiger, its trine partners (三合) are the Rabbit and Goat, and its classic clash (六沖) is the Snake.
