Lunar New Year, which falls on February 1, 2022, we usher in the Year of The Tiger! In Chinese culture, the Tiger is considered the “King of all Beasts” and is a symbol of strength, tenacity, and boldness. Tigers love adventure and are extremely competitive and confident. They are also known to uphold integrity and are protective yet supportive at the same time. These traits combined result in the beast being held in high regard and well-liked by its peers and inner circle.
2022 is the Year of the Water Tiger
The Tiger is the third animal of the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac. Do you know how the animals got their order in the Chinese Zodiac? Legend has it that to determine the order, a race was held. The Tiger—being the King of all Beasts—thought he had it in the bag but did not expect the strong, hardworking Ox to outpace him. In the end, the tiger came in third while the Ox cinched second place.
In addition to the 12-year cycle corresponding to each of the animals in the Chinese Zodiac, there are five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) which are associated with their own “life force” or “chi.”
This energy blends with the corresponding animal to determine each year’s fortune. This year is the year of the Water Tiger, also known as the Black Tiger. The water element is associated with a running current, a river, or a waterfall—not static. And by association, it denotes fluidity and flexibility.
