But the next phase is expected to be more optimistic and adventurous. The last three years were marked by winter-related energy of stagnation, fear, thrift and loss. Expectations are generally high in a Tiger year due to its affinity with springtime as nature emerges from the dormancy of winter. There are five types of Tigers (one for each of the five elements) and 2022’s Water Tiger is poetically known as “ the Tiger in the Forest – a vision of a bronze mirror.” This auspicious combination of Water feeding Wood suggests a year of movement, growth and for the most part, harmony. One of earth’s most magnificent creatures, Tiger’s unique natural forehead marking is a stamp bearing the Chinese character for “king.” Tiger symbolizes yang masculinity, bravery and dominion over his kingdom. In Chinese astrology, he is associated with the beginning of springtime and the pre-dawn hours of 3 – 4:59 AM when he gains strength and momentum. He is best known for the traits of leadership, nobility and authority. The Tiger is the third of the astrological animals in the Chinese twelve-year cycle but the first sign to usher in the Solar Chinese New Year in February commencing the four seasons.
