2022 What to Expect in the Year of the Tiger
Year of the Black Water Tiger
February 1, 2022 - January 21, 2023
I find always find that January is the cross over from one year to the next and the new energies don’t really start ramping up until the end of January/beginning of February, hence why I find the Chinese New Year important when looking at the overall energies.
2022 is the year of the Black-Water Tiger. The last Tiger year we had was in 2010.
The Year of the Ox will draw to a close as the Chinese New Year of the Water Tiger will begin on February 1st of 2022 and will last until January 21st of 2023 when the Year of the Black Rabbit begins.
Tiger is the 3rd of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs and corresponds with the Aquarius horoscope.
The Tiger inspires fear and respect as they are the living symbol of strength and power.
The Tiger also represents independence, courage, curiosity, competition, energy, protection, altruism, leadership, purposefulness, revolutionary ideas, but also vulnerability, sensitivity, selfishness, conflict, overestimation, and an “all or nothing” attitude.
The Tiger’s fixed element is wood. However, the host element of 2022 is water; therefore it is also called a black tiger because water is the equivalent of the black colour according to the Chinese Five Elements.
Tiger is associated with the thunder or motion in Chinese I-Ching. Water Tiger is equivalent to the Water-Thunder Hexagram, which means something moving inside the Water. Therefore, Water Tiger of 2022 implies caution, growth, development, challenge, creation, and planning.
The tiger is my favourite big cat and for me also a guide that walks with me on my path. I feel this will be a very special year for those who resonate strongly with the cat energy and/or have a tiger as their spirit animal or guide.
The tiger energy may show itself in those that stand up in the face of injustice. People will voice their truths more, be more courageous, have stronger humanitarian instincts, and stand up for what they believe is right.
Some caution may be needed as this energy can also make people blind to the dangers they face, so before rushing into a situation, perhaps stop and understand everything a little more!
The tiger energy will also help people to be more sociable, friendly, honest and open, which is definitely needed in these challenging times!
Additionally, we should see more kindness and generosity shining through, but on the flip side, we can also expect more anger, violence and some very passionate behaviour too, which could be interesting as this energy can get people very stirred up about what they believe is right!
There will be a stronger need for independence and solitude this year as this is important to the tiger and allows all the experiences to be integrated and understood fully, which is a key part of the tiger’s journey.
“The active and motivated tiger is very different from the slow, soft and passive ox,” says Hong Kong-based Chinese and Western astrologer Jupiter Lai. “The overall energy level of 2022 will therefore be higher than it was in 2021.”
So, 2022 should also have a higher vibe and be a little easier to navigate!
The tiger has long-held positive images of power in East Asia, making it a particularly significant year for some. Tiger tends to be associated with warriors and depicted with stripes on his head forming the Chinese character for king.
Therefore, expect new “warriors” to step forward this year who make a difference in bringing forth justice for the collective! These warriors may be people just like you and me, but have the courage to stand up for truth in the face of adversity.
Family will be a key focus, as it is in the Universal 6 year, as the tiger is considered a faithful and devoted animal, so relationships will be in the spotlight.
2022 may be an explosive and unpredictable year as it will be fast-paced and action will be needed! There will be lots of supportive energy to aid new ventures and assist your courage in trying something new! It is a great time to take that leap of faith!!
Self-confidence, enthusiasm, courage and creativity are key to overcoming any challenges and obstacles faced in 2022!
I feel the year of the tiger will be an exciting one!
Tiger is a powerful reminder that you can overcome obstacles and fears by reclaiming your power. Don’t doubt yourself, make the Year of the Tiger your year to shine!!
