Countdown to CNY: New Year prospects for people born in the Year of the Tiger

With less than a month until the Chinese New Year, The Standard’s “Countdown to CNY” series will bring you the Spring Festival traditions and even the Chinese zodiac forecast.

If your Chinese zodiac sign is the Tiger – born in 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, or 2022 – here is what Chinese astrology says about your prospects for the new year:
 

Overall

Those born in the Year of the Horse align with the Tai Sui – the god of the year – this year, which means relatively good fortune. To improve one's fortune, pig- or dog-shaped talismans can be worn. 

Health

The stars warn of injuries from sudden incidents, such as getting struck while playing darts. They also show a heightened risk of injury from animals, heavy machinery, and vehicles. 

Career and wealth

Relevant stars this year indicate that office workers will have good results from pursuing further education and skill enhancement. However, there may be disagreements – especially for women – with superiors, bosses, and elders.

The stars also show that it is unfavorable to invest in real estate or land. For finance, tigers will be susceptible to miscalculations and inaccurate information.

Relationships

This year should have romantic opportunities, but they may feel fleeting and superficial. Stars also warn against being betrayed and backstabbed.
