Wild Fortunes: Pigs
A pig represents luck, overall good fortune, wealth, honesty, and general prosperity, symbolizing a hard-working, a peace-loving person, a truthful, generous, indulgent, patient, reliable, trusting, sincere, giving, sociable person with a large sense of humor and understanding.
Both Chinese and Irish people cherish the pig as a sign of good things. Chinese lore says that pigs can bring good luck to business dealings, while Irishmen respect the pig because of their association with old folktales.
As the old Irish saying goes; “The pig is the gentleman who pays the rent”.
In Germany, they say “Glücksschwein”, which translates to lucky pig.
