THE YEAR OF THE TIGER
2022 is the year of the Water Tiger and February 1st, 2022 is the first lunar new year day.
It is also known as the Spring Festival when traditionally the arrival of the spring and the rise of new energy was celebrated.
Each year has a distinctive energy. In Taoist wisdom traditions the quality of the year is described through the language of the five elements, the yin- yang and the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching.
Depending how this energetic composition of the year is interacting with the person's Ba Zi and their Yearly Fate, we can determine what the year is going to be like for an individual and how it will impact them.
The yearly prediction is a calculation, based on several methods of Chue Style Feng Shui (Ba Zi, I Ching, Chee Ba Flying Stars, etc) to forecast most likely events and directions that energy of the year will flow towards and predict the consequences.
