As we move into the Tiger Year of 2022, we head towards a year where all four pillars in the year’s Paht Chee or birth chart are Yang. This suggests it will be an extremely energetic year. The pace will change dramatically as the world continues to open up more and more. While most of Europe is already open, and the USA and UK hot on its heels, countries like China and Australia are re-instating new lockdown measures, while South East Asia are guarded. Nevertheless, everyone is growing tired of COVID-19 so we are definitely well on our way to more movement.
Last year’s Year of the Ox may have been one of unhurried rebuilding; this coming Year of the Tiger looks like it will be the opposite.
Things move quickly, and they may do so simply because individuals and firms are trying to lock in first mover advantage. But another telling aspect of the year’s chart is the lack of Fire and Metal, which in 2022 signify resources and intelligence. Moving too quickly could give way to poor decisions being made in haste, and a waste of resources as a result of lack of strategic thought, or any thought at all.
There are therefore likely to be benefits to actively resist the temptation to react on impulse, and to give space to thinking things through, and studying from all angles, before jumping ahead of ourselves.
The other glaringly obvious point is the presence of THREE Tigers. Yes, you heard right, the year has not one but THREE Tigers. This is rare.
Three of the year’s four Earthly Branches are Tigers. While Tigers bring many positive attributes, they also carry an element of danger. Tigers are wild animals, and while you may succeed in getting them onto your side, you must never let down your guard. Wild animals are difficult to tame, and often revert to their original natures when under stress or duress. And so, this year, it is necessary to watch your back.
The Chinese always believe that the presence of the year’s animal sign displayed around homes and offices ushers in all of the new year’s positive energies; which is why every Chinese New Year, Chinese families and business people often invite in new figurines and artwork of the coming year’s animal sign. These are usually depicted surrounded by golden ingots, coins and other emblems of wealth, to tap into the symbolism further.
It is believed this will allow you to effectively capture the wealth luck of the year.
There is a small difference with the Tiger.
While Tigers are well-known bringers of wealth, you should always invite in the Tiger accompanied by a Wealth Deity. This is because Wealth Gods can control the Tiger, you can’t. Popular deities such as Kwan Kung and Tsai Shen Yeh are often depicted with Tigers to represent bringing wealth luck. To tap into the vein of prosperity that 2022 offers – and yes there is wealth, quite a lot actually, to be made in 2022 – the best way is to activate the animal sign of the year, the Tiger, BUT always ensure these Tigers that you invite into your home are accompanied by Wealth Deities.
FIVE YELLOW BECOMES THE “DOMINANT STAR”
The #5 misfortune star flies to the center of the Lo Shu grid, occupying its most important location. The central star of the year is often thought of as the dominating star, as it impacts on all the other stars. And being in the center, it affects not just one corner of the home or living space, but ALL. This is especially true if you live in an “open plan” style home. Because #5 is Earth, and the central sector is Earth, it gets further activated. It is thus necessary to install strong CURES.
For the #5 in the center, we have designed the Supremacy of Heaven Plate featuring 6 Celestial Guardians and Heavenly symbols. The most effective remedy against a strengthened Five Yellow is with powerful heaven energy; here you are controlling malevolent Earth energy with benevolent Heaven Energy, and we recommend all homes this year to place this Heaven Plate in the center area. You can do the same for offices and any other living space. For on-the-go protection, you can also carry the amulet version, or clip it onto your bag to have it with you at all times.
LUCKY & UNLUCKY HOME ORIENTATIONS
The East-West axis can prove troublesome as the East has the annual Quarrelsome Star #3, while the West has the Loss Star #7, with the misfortune Five Yellow in the center. Homes and buildings built in an East-West orientation will thus need to be remedied. The Northeast, North and NW meanwhile forms a lucky strip, and using this part of the home more brings its lucky energies to life. Homes facing North in 2022 are particularly lucky, as the front part of the home is filled with the three most auspicious White stars, 1,6 and 8. SW-NE homes are also auspicious in 2022, as its star numbers generate a Pearl String.
LUCK OF THE FATHER & MOTHER
The NW and SW are important sectors to consider, as these sectors govern the luck of the Father and Mother. When the head of the family does well and enjoys success, his luck trickles down to the rest of the family, and 2022 looks promising as the NW (the sector that represents the Father) plays host to the #6 Heaven Star. This lucky indication should be activated with objects and symbols that signify heaven energy. This year the best enhancers for this are the Magic Golden Dragon and the Supremacy of Heaven Energy Plate.
