I hope you have a Happy New Year both (Western) and Eastern! The Chinese Lunar New Year is February 1st this year and the Solar New Year (first day of spring) is February 4th. The months of both January and February are going to be intense this year as both months have exactly the same ruling animal as the year. Since the new year doesn’t begin until February, the Xin Metal Ox is still in charge until February and then the Black Water Tiger aggressively moves in to claim his reign for the rest of 2022. So this all means that the month of January 2022 will have double Xin White Metal Bull energy ruling and the month of February will have double Black Water Tiger energy. The Bull is a yin animal and the tiger is a yang animal. After two years of pandemic rules, confusions, fear etc. under the rat and bull, there is going to be an abrupt awakening, a feeling of reality, wanting to move on with our lives.
The ruling hexagram for the year 2021 which I described last month- #36 “Diminishing Light” or “Clouded Perception” is also ruling the month of January! Then in February, the hexagram for the Black Water Tiger year 2022, and month is #13 “Fellowship.” It is called “Union of Forces.” Other titles: Fellowship with Men, The Symbol of Companionship, Lovers, Beloved Friends, Like-minded persons, Gathering Men, Sameness with People, Universal Brotherhood, Fellowship, Community, United, Human Association, Union of Men, Integration of Forces, Minor Synthesis, Cliques, Concordance, To Be In Accord With, Confirmation.
It looks like the next two months are going to be intense and may be life changing! Also, we need to remember that the Bull is the ruling animal of Wuhan (2021) and the Tiger is the ruling animal of Beijing (2022.)
