Lunar New Year of the Tiger
Tuesday February 1st, 2022 is the Lunar New Year also known as Chinese New Year. It is the year of the Tiger. We transition from the steadfast and hardworking Ox to the Courageous and Adventurous energy of the Tiger.
Tigers are the third in the Chinese Zodiac. According to legend, Tiger was confident that no one could compete with its speed and vigor for the celestial race that would decide the order of the zodiacs. However, when Tiger climbed out of the river, thinking it was first, it was informed that Rat placed first for its cunning and Ox placed second for its diligence. This left the king of the jungle having to settle for third place. A little humble pie is always good now and again to check one’s ego.
There is a fierce independence to Tiger energy, but also a rebelliousness and stubborn energy. While Tigers are grand, they are also noble. They are loyal and fiercely protect those who are in their care. They tend to be self-confident and successful. We could see meaningful change and expansion with a Tiger year.
The element this year is water. Water symbolizes wealth and vital force, emotional depth and memory. Expansion could be tumultuous and come through conflict due to Tigers fierce quality. But expansion it will be no matter how it comes. Because Tiger is powerful and dynamic. It comes with purpose, strength & fearlessness.
Use its energy and prowess to take care of your health and physical wellbeing. Be mindful to not over do things. Watch extremes with emotions, diet, and money. Apply conscious breathing to your actions and mindful integrity to your motivations. This will be a year full of energy and the perfect to time to take care of one’s health.
It’s time to move our collective consciousness out of any stagnation, complacency, and fears. It is time to carve a new path with the force of this vital, Water Tiger so that we can change where we have been stuck. It takes force to move things and Tiger and Water both have it.
In short- keep your ego in check. Take care of your health and your wealth. It is time to change what needs to be changed and don’t sweat the bumps along the way. Protect what is yours and those you love. Go ahead and expand your possibilities. Do not resist or rebel merely because you can. Your strength will be in the dignified way you will conduct yourself to make the needed changes this year with integrity. It is time to show your stripes via gifts & skills. It is time to act and we all will be gifted the energy to do just that!
