2022 Year of the Black Water Tiger Chinese Zodiac Forecast by Psychic Arthur

Happy Lunar New Year!  As the Year of the Ox saunters away, here comes the roaring Year of the Tiger which starts on February 1, 2022, and continues through January 21, 2023.

The Tiger, the third sign of the Chinese zodiac, is known for its boldness, daring, power, strength, and encompassing all the traits of a leader. They are logical, determined, and successful in helping others. And according to who you talk to, everything a Tiger does is usually big and bold! So, 2022 means aggressive actions and doing almost everything on a grand scale. Tigers rule the jungle, so look for a year of extremes.

Why Black Water Tiger? 

Easy! The Chinese calendar combines solar, lunar, and 60 Stem-Branch counting systems. The counting system combines the names of the Yin-Yang Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth) and the 12 animal signs. In addition, Five colors correlate with each element - White, Black, Green, Red, and Brown. Since Black is associated with Water, we now have – tada - The 2022 Year of the Black Water Tiger.

Tiger years are all about change, and The Black Water Tiger arrives, bringing fresh new energy, filled with movement and hope - pushing aside the structured Metal element of The Rat and The Ox of the last two years. Instead of hammering down rules and regulations, feel more fluid and relaxed, and better to go with the flow. Allow yourself the freedom to alter any arrangements that have become outmoded or too rigid.

Under the influence of the Water element, there will be many opportunities for those willing to embrace it, from new friendships and partnerships to "over the moon" romances. Water is associated with sensitivity, creativity, and change. At the same time, Water is connected to wealth, bringing an abundant and financially prosperous year with unexpected good news while turning crazy dreams into tangible reality, if you work at it.

Water is also a powerful force of nature, putting out fires, going through or around anything in its path with no mercy. So, if not controlled, tempers can flare, unstable partnerships can go to the wayside, and there can even be global fights over territories. Yes, the roar of the Tiger.

The years of the Tiger in the Chinese Zodiac are: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022, 2034.

Rat

Rat Birth Years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020

The Rat can look for a lot of transformational change physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At the same time, this is not a year to take financial risks or risks of any kind. All aspects of career and business are favorable, but you have to work hard for great rewards to reap any benefits. Planning will also be key to your success. Don't be surprised if you start your own business. However, if you don't pace yourself or watch where you're going (especially while driving), you may find yourself getting into an accident or two, not to mention indigestion due to stress. As far as relationships, it may seem like there is a lack of excitement. If you are single, you'll be more focused on your career instead of trying to meet someone new. If you are married or have a partner, you'll also be focusing more on your career than your relationship.

If faced with any conflicts or confusion, take a moment for things to settle and subside before jumping in headfirst. At the same time, this will be an opportunity to solidify your business relationships through networking with clients. Being a bit more outgoing will also help. You will need to control your anger at work and home. Keeping to yourself and not getting involved with outside gossip will also go a long way for the Ox. To avoid burnout and stress, this will be a year to take some time to recharge with nature with walks and fresh air. For the single Ox, a suitable partner may be showing up at the right time; however, now is not the time to be aggressive and, while honesty is the best policy, too much information too soon is not. Again, go with the flow.
