You\u2019re a Rat<\/strong> if you\u2019re born in: 2020, 2008, 1996, 1984, 1972<\/p>\n

You\u2019re an Ox<\/strong> if you\u2019re born in: 2021, 2009, 1997, 1985, 1973<\/p>\n

What to Expect in 2022 if You\u2019re Born in the Year of the Tiger<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re born in the Year of the Tiger, congratulations! It\u2019s your year to make moves, achieve goals and be successful. Some famous Tigers you\u2019re sharing your good fortune with this year include Lada Gaga, Drake, and Leonardo DiCaprio.<\/p>\n

Tigers can expect some potentially huge career and financial opportunities in 2022, with plenty of success.<\/p>\n

Is there anything Tigers should watch out for in 2022? Since Tigers have a fire within them, they can overreact and make mistakes when they\u2019re angry. Tigers should remember to use their anger management tools, take a few deep breaths before reacting, and try to relax. Meditation and yoga would be helpful tools for Tigers in 2022. As a strong-willed Tiger, remember that you should never make a permanent decision during a heated, emotional moment. You might regret it, so try to take pause before acting on your anger. Luckily, since this is the year of the Water Tiger, the water element will make any stubborn Tigers more open-minded and clear-headed.<\/p>\n

Lau says that Tiger years have the potential to be explosive \u2013 for better or for worse. However, because 2022 is the Year of the Water Tiger, there may be less aggression this year.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Tiger, it\u2019s your year. The time is now<\/em> to both seize opportunities and create new opportunities for yourself by being a go-getter. Don\u2019t hold yourself back any longer, because this is your time to shine, and, well \u2013 roar.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
