What is the Year of the Tiger?

‍

The Tiger is one of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs related to the Chinese calendar. The Chinese calendar follows the lunar calendar (as opposed to the solar calendar we follow in the west) and from 1 February 2022, the new year starts. In the Chinese calendar, there's a 12-year cycle where each year represents a different zodiac sign. And with this new year, it's the start of the Year of the Tiger.

What will the Year of the Tiger bring?

If you don't believe in zodiac signs, then nothing! But if you do believe in horoscopes and astrology, then the Year of the Tiger may mean a great deal to you. According to the 2022 predictions, the Ox (born in 1973, 1985, 1997 etc.) and the Goat (1979, 1991, 2003 etc.) will be most lucky this year, with expected economic and professional growth, prosperity and good health. The Rabbit (1975, 1987, 1999), Dragon (1976, 1988, 2000), Horse (1978, 1990, 2002) and Rooster (1969, 1981, 1993) can expect financial luck this year. And the Rat (1972, 1984, 1996), Snake (1977, 1989, 2001), Monkey (1980, 1992, 2004), Pig (1971, 1983, 1995) and Dog (1970, 1982, 1994), it may prove to be a rather difficult year.

As for the Tiger, this is their birth year and birth years are commonly believed to involve a lot of challenges. For the Tiger, the predictions are good career-wise, but there's going to be a setback in love and monetary prospects.

How do I celebrate the Year of the Tiger (appropriately)?

‍

The lunar new year isn't only celebrated in China, it is celebrated in most Asian countries and each country may have a different tradition of celebrating. And even if you don't have an Asian background, you can celebrate the lunar new year – just keep in mind that there's a thin line between appreciation and appropriation. If you want to celebrate the lunar year with your Asian friends, show them appreciation by asking and learning about the culture and avoid showing up to a lunar party with inappropriate gifts or dressing!

In general, the lunar new year is all about being together with your family. It's typical to have a celebratory feast with your family. Dishes generally include steamed fish (for prosperity), dumplings (for more prosperity), longevity noodles (for long life), glutinous rice balls (for unity) and tangerines (for luck).
