Chinese Horoscope - The Boar


THE BOAR

(Cinghiale)

Boars are self-reliant, very sociable, dependable, and extremely determined.

True.

Boars are peace lovers and don't hold grudges (rancori). They hate arguments, tense situations, and try to bring both sides together.

Correct.

In life they make deep and long-lasting friendships.

I miss this part…

Boars enjoy social gatherings of all kinds, and look for parties to attend. In fact, Boars must watch themselves so that their incessant pursuit of pleasure doesn't interfere with other aspects of their lives.

Well, this ain’t me… I am not that social. Or, at least, I wasn’t in the past.

Boars belong to clubs and they make terrific fund raisers. They have a real knack for charity and social work.

Yes: Amnesty -- my passion.

Boars always listen to problems. They won't mind getting involved and try to help. Boars have big hearts. A problem that Boars have is that they are too innocent and naive. Being honest and trustworthy themselves, they have a hard time understanding the motives of those with less scruples.

This is so damnly true. I am almost scared.

Boars do not dazzle or shimmer. They possess the old-fashioned chivalry (galanteria) that grows on you until you totally depend on it. It is so easy to trust Boars. They have a calm expression and a sincere manner.

Me. 100%

They are blessed with endurance and work steadily at tasks with great patience until completion.

I should add they may lose a lot of time along the way. But this point is correct, anyway.

Once Boars arrive at a decision nothing stops them.

Exactly.

Of course, before they reach that decision they weigh all the pros and cons.

Ehm, no. I am the one who does things and then think about it.

They definitely want to avoid complications. Sometimes they ponder so long they miss the opportunity altogether.

It seems I tend to dive into things… But it’s true I’ve missed some opportunity along the way.

But never mind, Boars always believe in miracles, and miracles always happen to them. Fortune favours Boars. They always find someone to help them without having to beg.

My nick wasn’t chosen by chance… But as regards finding some external help, well it’s hard for me because I often don’t dare to ask.

In romance, if not careful, Boars may be taken advantage of. Boars trust everyone and believe everything they hear. They are unselfish and enjoy helping their friends. Although they are gullible, they are actually quite intelligent and know how to take care of their own. If you hurt their feelings, Boars often carry the pain for years. They have a hard time saying no to those of concern. Often they wish they had said no.

Oh, yeah.

Boars will always be looking for ways to work off all their extra energy. They work and play hard. Even if they lose everything, Boars manage to bounce back. Their life path supply them with all they need. The Chinese believe Boars own the Horn of Plenty.


This is what I hope for. Actually.
