Forecast for the Year of the Water Tiger 2022

Chinese New Year is often a much-awaited occasion for its festive celebrations and sumptuous meals and delicacies like tikoy and hopia. Yet, for many who still embrace ancient Chinese beliefs, this is once again the time to seek guidance from the Chinese zodiac on how they will move forward in the year ahead.

According to the lunar calendar, 2022 is the Year of the Water Tiger. The Tiger is mostly characterized as ferocious, daring, enthusiastic, powerful, independent, and dynamic. Marites Allen, well-known in the country as “The Queen of Feng Shui,” added in a livestreamed forecast: “When life knocks it down, the tiger gets up again. The tiger is aggressive; it’s impatient, it waits for no one.”

While noting its strength, leadership, and purposefulness, however, Ms. Allen said that the Tiger also shows vulnerability, sensitivity, and overestimation. “When the tiger is hot-headed, it’s difficult to control it. The Year of the Water Tiger is coupled with aggression, tension, rebellion… So, we need to make sure that our reactions to everything are controlled,” she was quoted as saying.
