People born in the Year of the Pig are usually cheerful and optimistic — even when things don’t go smoothly, they can still keep a good attitude. But in 2026, there are three lunar months when you should be extra careful. It’s not that anything terrible will happen — just pay more attention to details so small troubles don’t ruin your good mood.
1. Lunar March
Beware of petty people and hidden traps.
Pig people are sincere and kind, often treating coworkers and partners like family. However, in this month, you may encounter people who seem friendly on the surface but cause trouble behind your back. For example, a smooth project may suddenly get delayed, or you might accidentally leak key information, giving competitors a chance to take advantage — possibly even causing financial loss to your company.
Advice: Don’t be too trusting or open. Keep important documents and key plans under your control. When dealing with unfamiliar partners, don’t reveal everything right away — leave some room and protect yourself. Fortunately, the lucky star “Yue De” (Monthly Virtue) will secretly help you, so even if problems arise, you’ll find someone to help you resolve them. No need to panic.
2. Lunar May
Watch out for money traps, especially scams!
This month brings the risk of financial loss — particularly from online or phone fraud. Scammers may pretend to be customer service agents saying your package was lost and needs compensation, or pose as “investment experts” promising guaranteed returns. Pig people are kind and polite, often finding it hard to say no to pushy salespeople.
Remember this rule: Never trust strangers on the phone. If someone asks for money transfers or verification codes — it’s 100% a scam. Even if a friend recommends an investment, check it out yourself before putting in money. With the “Xiao Hao” (Minor Loss) star in play this year, unexpected expenses are likely — don’t let scams make things worse.
3. Lunar July
Be cautious in social relationships.
Pig people are honest and warm-hearted, and once they trust someone, they easily open up. But in this month, being too open with new acquaintances could lead to trouble. Some people may pretend to “help you make connections,” but actually use your personal or work information for their own gain.
Advice: You don’t need to become suspicious, but learn to take things slowly. Observe new people for a while before sharing private or sensitive details. Keep some boundaries — it’s safer. Because the “Jie Sha” (Robbery Misfortune) star is active this year, sudden issues may arise in relationships, so staying cautious is the best way to protect yourself.
