Personality
The Fire Pig personality
Anyone born from February 18, 2007 through February 6, 2008 is a Fire Pig: the yin fire stem 丁 over the 亥 branch.
The Pig's own Water controls Fire here, so the sign keeps the upper hand over the year's element. Fire brings intensity, visibility and speed — traditionally the most driven version, and the quickest to burn through its own energy.
Stem and branch
2007 is 丁亥 (Dīnghài)
Na yin — the sounding element
Earth on the Roof 屋上土
Earth or tiles forming a roof. The image is shelter and the home: stability that serves a household, and usefulness that depends on being placed where it is needed.
2007 therefore carries fire from its stem and earth from its na yin. What na yin is →
Li Chun inside the year
An ordinary single-spring year
The two Li Chun dates around it are February 4, 2007 and February 4, 2008, Beijing time. The Pig year spans February 18, 2007 to February 6, 2008, so exactly one of them sits inside it. What double spring and blind years mean →
Who clashes with a 2007 Pig
The 亥 branch puts a 2007 Pig opposite the Snake on the wheel, the traditional clash; the nearest Snake year after it was 2013. Its harmony partner is the Tiger, whose year came round 3 years later, in 2010. How the Pig and Snake get on →
Pigs born in 2007 turn 19 in 2026 — 20 by the traditional count, which starts at one.
If you were born in 2007
- Born January 1 – February 17, 2007: a Fire Dog, the animal of 2006.
- Born February 18, 2007 or later in the year: a Fire Pig.
This is one of the late new years: 48 days, from New Year's Day to February 17, still belong to the Dog. That is about one US birth in 8 (12.7%, SSA records 2000–2014). Check your exact date →
The Pig across the cycle
The animal returns every 12 years but the element every 60, so each of these years is a different Pig.
The lunar calendar of 2007
Why 354 days, and not 365
No leap month this time: from February 18, 2007 to February 6, 2008, 2007 ran twelve months, six of 30 days and six of 29 — 354 days.
The 30-day months were the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 12th. Three 30-day months ran back to back, from month 8 to month 10.
Festival dates in the 2007 lunar year
| Festival | Lunar date | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Lantern Festival 元宵节 | first month, day 15 | Sun, Mar 4, 2007 |
| Dragon Boat Festival 端午节 | fifth month, day 5 | Tue, Jun 19, 2007 |
| Qixi, the Double Seventh 七夕 | seventh month, day 7 | Sun, Aug 19, 2007 |
| Ghost Festival 中元节 | seventh month, day 15 | Mon, Aug 27, 2007 |
| Mid-Autumn Festival 中秋节 | eighth month, day 15 | Tue, Sep 25, 2007 |
| Double Ninth Festival 重阳节 | ninth month, day 9 | Fri, Oct 19, 2007 |
| Winter solstice 冬至 | solar term, Sun at 270° | Sat, Dec 22, 2007 |
| Laba Festival 腊八节 | twelfth month, day 8 | Tue, Jan 15, 2008 |
At the Lantern Festival on March 4 the year's first full moon came that same day, at 7:17 AM Beijing time. The true full moon came two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, at 3:45 AM Beijing time on September 27 — lunar day 17.
Dates follow Beijing time (UTC+8), the reference clock of the Chinese calendar. Why lunar years differ in length →
Lunar years around 2007
Lengths differ because a leap month is inserted every two or three years. This is what makes the new year date jump rather than drift.
Only four of the 110 new years in the table fall later in the calendar than February 18. Two other years share the date. Twelve years earlier, 1995 began on January 31; twelve years later, 2019 began on February 5 — both marked in lavender with the other Pig years.
