We are in the second month of 2019. January is now behind us, and many people are happy that it is gone.
January is commonly associated with empty bank accounts.
This is because it comes after a festive season where many people spend their savings visiting exotic hotels and partying.
January also comes with back to school expenses which may leave one's bank account seriously dented.
Most people love the month of February because it is the shortest month. It is also known as the month of love since most lovers are gearing towards Valentine's day. Anyway, an interesting fact about 2019 most people don't know about is that it is referred to as 'the year of the pig'. One might be wondering why it is called so, and what is supposed to be done in the year of the pig.Well, the term ''year of the pig" originated from China. According to Chinse Zodiac signs, the pig comes twelfth in the cycle of Zodiac signs. Actually, it is the last after the dog in the cycle. The first ten signs are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, and rooster in that order.According to Travel China Guide, the past years of the pig were 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995 and 2007. After 2019, the next year of the pig will be in 2031. Several myths explain why the pig is position 12 in the cycle. According to Chinese Zodiac, the pig came last to Jade Emperor's party because he overslept. Another myth states that the wolf destroyed the pig's house and so he arrived last at the party because he had to stay behind and repair his house first.According to the Chinese people, men born in the year of the pig are gentle and quiet, just like the pig. On the other hand, women born in the year of the pig are full of excitement.
