On February 1, 2022, millions of people all over the world celebrate the Lunar New Year. The year 2022 is the Year of the Water Tiger. The water element adds fluidity and flexibility to the tiger's energy and prowess.
Tiger is one of the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac. Chinese Buddhists tell the story of a feast given by the Buddha. They believe that tiger was the third animal to arrive at the feast.
Tiger represent the strength, ferocity, tenacity, and courage. People born under the sign of tiger are self-assured, love adventures and competition, and have great sense of justice. They are well respected by people around them.
Geomancers and astrologers in Asia and in Chinese communities elsewhere are busy to compile horoscopes and predict the future. They expect a very dynamic year full of opportunities, innovation and progress. It will be a great year for learning, new projects, and accomplishments, but also a year of possible chaos and unpredictability, political conflicts, social unrest, and natural disasters.
Everything happens quickly and dramatically in a Year of the Tiger, so be ready or you will miss your opportunity. Be courageous enough to grab your chances to improve and advance professionally, but exercise a little caution to avoid mishaps and financial mishaps.
Chinese
New Year is the most important holiday for the Chinese people and it
gives families the opportunity to gather around sumptuous banquets
and to exchange gifts. An obligatory visit to the local Taoist or
Buddhist temple is made to place offerings to the gods or to the Buddha.
Fruit and incense are offered and countless prayers said.
For those who forgot to make their New Year's resolutions in January, here is another chance.
Wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous Year of the Water Tiger - Dominique
新 年 快 樂 !
