The Lunar New Year, also known as the Chinese New Year, is a time of celebration and renewal. This year, on February 1st, 2022, we welcome the Year of the Water Tiger. Let's dive into what this auspicious year holds for us.
Understanding the Year of the Tiger
The Year of the Tiger is a significant year in the Chinese zodiac. Occurring every 12 years, it is a symbol of power, bravery, and strength. The Water Tiger, in particular, occurs once every 60 years, making it even more unique and special.
In Chinese astrology, each year is associated with an animal sign and one of the Five Elements: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, or Earth. The Water Tiger brings a balance between the fierce energy of the Tiger and the fluidity of Water. It is said that those born under this sign are strong, capable of overcoming obstacles, and courageous.
