According to the eastern horoscope, the Tiger sign takes third place in the twelve-year cycle of changing patrons of the year. Legend has it that a long time ago the Buddha summoned 12 animals to him. The first to come running was an agile, nimble and cunning rat. The Bull was the second. He managed only a couple of steps ahead of the Tiger, and therefore the Bull got the second year of his reign. The Tiger took third place, but since then he cannot forgive the Bull for the victory. So between the animals forever there was enmity and rivalry.
Consider this when you celebrate the new 202. According to the Eastern calendar, the Tiger comes into its own not on January 1, but a month later. According to Chinese tradition, the new year is celebrated according to the lunar calendar. It occurs on the second new moon after the winter solstice (December 21). In 2022, this will happen on February 1st. And not at 12 at night, as is accepted by European standards, but at 7.45 (Kiev time). But the Year of the Tiger will last until January 21, 2023.

In addition to 12 different animals, the eastern calendar also provides 5 colors and elements, which alternately patronize each year. In 2022, the color will be black, and the element of the year will be water. These are important factors that affect the characteristics of the symbol of the year, and can enhance or, conversely, soften its main features.
In the Chinese calendar, the Tiger is considered one of the most unpredictable animals. He personifies power, beauty and nobility, but at the same time it is fraught with many dangers. The tiger is a predator that does not accept weakness and indecision. Therefore, in the years of the Tiger, luck traditionally protects tough and strong-willed people.
However, the Black Water Tiger will differ slightly from the typical characteristics. The element of water will soften his intransigence and aggressive assertiveness. According to oriental traditions, water is responsible for communication and sociability, creativity, originality and creativity. This means that the Water Tiger will become the patron saint of new beginnings and changes in life.
According to astrologers' forecasts, 2022 will be the best time to implement long-delayed plans. However, do not forget that the Tiger in the east personifies wisdom, so decisions will need to be approached carefully and deliberately. If you decide to rush to extremes, expect serious strength tests from the symbol of the year.
In the year of the Black Water Tiger, it is good to engage in creative self-realization - for example, enroll in courses or try your hand at an unexpected role. If you have dreamed of drawing, dancing or writing stories, it's time to make your dream come true. Also, this year is good for starting a family: despite the fact that the Tiger usually promises the newlyweds of conflicts and struggle for leadership, the element of Water will soften this influence, and the marriage will be lasting.

Black Tiger expects elegance and grace from you. Therefore, when celebrating the New Year, give preference to restrained colors and shades. No colorful and flashy things - the classic "little black dress" will be the best choice for the holiday. Clothes that match the color of the element of Water are also suitable - these are blue, gray, blue, gray-blue things. As jewelry, it is better to choose chains, earrings and rings made of precious metals (optimally silver and white gold).
Remember that January 1, according to the Eastern calendar, is still held under the auspices of the Fugitive Metal Bull. Do not forget about the rivalry between two animals. Add white accents to your clothes: thereby you "respect" the symbol of the outgoing year and at the same time do not anger the Black Tiger, who is on the doorstep.
