The Year of the Tiger

Happy Lunar New Year! In 2022, we’re entering the year of the happy-go-lucky Tiger. The Tiger is traditionally associated with Yang, which is the active and masculine energy, and this year is about making big changes, risk-taking and adventures. If you’re born during a Year of the Tiger, don’t get too excited – in Chinese astrology, if it’s the year of your zodiac sign, the next 12 months will be the least fortunate for you. (But if you’re born in the Year of the Horse, this is your year to shine!). This year’s lucky symbols are blue and green, 1, 3 and 7, plum blossom flowers, and the Northerly direction.

In Chinese and other East Asian cultures, red symbolises good luck and prosperity. A tradition on Lunar New Year is for people to gift their family and friends a beautiful bright red envelope filled with money, wishing them good luck for the year ahead.
