The Year of the Water Tiger (2022/4720)

Even though the Water Tiger is the most diplomatic and peaceful, this year will be a fearless warrior to set humanity back on a path of enlightenment.

Even though the Water Tiger is the most diplomatic and peaceful, this year it will be a fearless warrior to set humankind back on the path towards enlightenment.

After over two years of confused suffering created by media outlets and government institutions around the world, like Brother Sir Winston Churchill used to say, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” Unfortunately, the confusion will continue in the early part of the year, making the Tiger draw his claws and fangs and fight tactically and strategically to defend society and bring more clarity to the surface. The Metal Ox was a purifying year on many levels of our being, physical, energetic, and spiritual, recalibrating us for the next level of conscious awareness.

The Water Tiger will be completing what the Metal Ox started, with the role of burning residual karma, especially the kind we would tend to push out for the future or procrastinate looking at. Especially if there are long-standing conflicts, the Water Tiger will not let those things hide.

Something to lean into this year is creativity as a main resource and even as a surviving skill. It can allow us to thrive through the year. We can see this in the changes happening with the Metaverse, NFT’s, and Web 3.0. it is like the renaissance meets the wild west.

The way we saw and experienced death during Rat and Ox helped to transform the consciousness of many individuals that were asleep previous to the pandemic. This brought a new level of consciousness where we are more and more open to the teaching and philosophy of the Buddha and Lao Tzu.

Aside from being one of the most diplomatic and peaceful animals, the Water Tiger will be putting his warrior suit on when it comes time to redefine the course for a large part of humanity.

This will also be a year in which most people will see more emphasis on taking care of the physical, energetic, and spiritual body. People will especially put their focus on mental and spiritual wellbeing. We strongly recognize now that being healthy on the inside is just as important, if not more than how we look on the exterior. This is one of the essential rules of alchemy “as inside so outside.” This will be a great time to address any chronic conditions we can benefit of our own free will and accord, otherwise the Tiger may encourage us to do it in a more forceful way.

The month of August seems to be the month where most conflict will arise in family and business dynamics. There are some chaotic energies at this time and they will provide a perfect storm. It will be important to take care of any loose ends before this month arrives to avoid any disruption in progress. To thrive during those 31 days, the Tiger needs our assistance by feeding him patience, benevolence, love, humility, and most of all, forgiveness. Most of the conflict arising during that time will be unexpected and shake our personal lives deeply.

On the other side of the coin, the Tiger will reward a positive attitude by two folds. It is the perfect year to look at the bigger picture and extend a hand or help someone for the sake of helping; without expecting anything in return. This will pay dividends by cruising this year without significant surprises or setbacks.
