Each Lunar New Year is named after an animal, and the Year of the Tiger is known for its sense of passion, urgency, and boldness. In 1986, Susan Levitt made a life-changing decision during a Tiger year, leaving her job at an architectural firm to pursue a career as an astrologer and tarot card reader. She embraced the Tiger's energy and went for it. Now, as we look forward to the next Year of the Tiger in 2034, let's explore what this powerful year has in store for us.
Year of the Tiger: Embracing Big Dreams
Tigers are regal, impressive, and ferocious creatures. They embody courage and leadership. People born in the Year of the Tiger have a zest for life but can also be impulsive and quick-tempered. Tiger years, like 2022 and the upcoming 2034, can be explosive times. It's a year for going big or going home, for embracing your passions and taking risks.
Chinese Zodiac Signs During the Year of the Tiger
Celebrating the Lunar New Year means embracing Chinese zodiac signs. Tiger years occur every 12 years, and each one has a different element associated with it. In 2022, the Year of the Water Tiger, we experienced strong, wild emotions and unexpected changes. Personal relationships, careers, and even political situations were influenced by the intensity of the Tiger's energy. Some zodiac signs thrived, while others faced challenges. There is no middle ground in a Tiger year.

What the Water Element Represents
In 2022, we experienced the Year of the Water Tiger. The Water element is connected to emotions, sensitivity, and creativity. It is a powerful force that can overcome any obstacle. The Water Tiger year brought strong and sometimes chaotic emotions. It was a year of freedom and risk-taking, but also fear and indecisiveness. Each zodiac sign had to navigate these emotional extremes and find balance.

Zodiac Compatibility during the Year of the Tiger
Some zodiac signs are more compatible with the Tiger's energy and are likely to have a good year during the Year of the Tiger. The Horse, Dog, and Pig signs align well with the Tiger's intensity and can expect creativity, adventure, and good fortune in various aspects of life, including finance, travel, and love.
On the other hand, the Rat, Ox, Snake, and Monkey signs may find it more challenging to navigate the Tiger's energy. These signs may need to adapt to the fast-paced and unpredictable nature of a Tiger year. They should stay diligent, conscientious, and cautious in their actions.
Middle-of-the-Road Zodiac Signs
Dragon and Rooster signs fare well during the Tiger's years. They appreciate and share the Tiger's enthusiasm and boldness. Dragon individuals may face power struggles but will ultimately succeed. Rooster individuals need to find a balance between embracing the Tiger's energy and remaining grounded.
Sheep and Rabbit signs, while enjoying the excitement of the Tiger year, may find themselves overwhelmed at times. They need to prioritize self-care and tie up loose ends before their respective zodiac years.
Lucky Times of the Year for Each Sign
Each zodiac sign has specific months and seasons that bring good fortune during the Year of the Tiger. For example, Rat individuals had the best months in April and August, while Ox individuals thrived in May and September. Autumn was the luckiest season for Tiger individuals, and Rabbit individuals found favor in spring.
