Enter the water tiger for 2022

Treasured friends as I sit here typing on the cusp of the lunar new year I am marvelling at how intent Spirit was to bring to my attention the fact that this year is the year of the water tiger.

For the last 18 hours, a burst hose from my evaporative cooler unit situated on my roof has been pouring water into the downpipes of my home! The plumber has just been and the hose has been replaced.

So what does all this water mean? Water for me is the ultimate cleanser, a hydrator and physically makes up 70% of our composition. We are heavily influenced by water and many of us choose to live by the ocean or near water.

For water to be effective it needs a container; in the Chinese model, this year’s container is a tiger. Tiger energy asks us to balance our need to be still versus our need to move quickly and secure our life goals. Tiger knows when to rest and when to use energy to hunt. We are being reminded to focus our energy where it matters to and let the distractions fall away.

Tiger is asking us to take a chance, to become fearless and bold in our pursuits this year. It gives us the confidence to try something new, to step out of our comfort zone but only after we have quietly assessed the risks.

Tigers are also quite passionate creatures, they ask us to be true to our hearts with regards to love, friendship, work and passions. They are leaders and inspire us to also become a leader of our life and your destiny. The keyword this year is BALANCE. Water tiger will bring a focus on balancing our emotions.
