Like everyone, I’ve learnt so much about myself and others during these crazy Covid times, but as an Astrologer, it’s become very clear to me, our own personal destinies are being over-ruled by a worldwide pandemic.
For instance, if you were in a 5 year or your Travel Star was being activated in 2020, your desire for travel was shut down. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my lifetime. It’s been both fascinating and challenging to predict.
With new variants coming out and lots of changes continually happening with Government policies and procedures, it’s never been more important to remain centered, grounded and flexible.
The trick isn’t always being in perfect balance, it’s being able to find stillness when things are out of balance
Covid aside, the Year of the Water Tiger should be a more harmonious year as the heavenly stem of Yang Water feeds the energy of the Wood Tiger (just like a plant needs water, so does the Tiger).
The Tiger is Wood, which represents creativity, growth and activity. 2022 can support businesses and economies around the world to start growing again, provided covid becomes more manageable.
The Tiger year is the birthplace of Fire. Fire energy stimulates positivity, enthusiasm, confidence and productivity. The birth of the fire element will help re-ignite the entertainment, airlines and hospitality industries. The Fire element has been missing for the past few years.
Symbolically the Tiger is a Travel Star, so the airlines will get a boost as will accommodation and tourism. Fingers crossed no new variants arrive in 2022 to disrupt our desire for travel, change, variety and movement.
How will the Year of the Tiger affect you personally?
Remember, the Chinese Solar New Year begins February 4
- If you have a Monkey in your four pillars, the Tiger year clashes with your chart making you more restless and accident prone. Travel will also be a theme this year – if the pandemic allows. Grandmaster Raymond Lo says ‘it is necessary to carry the pendant of a Pig as protection to attract the Tiger away.’ The idea is the Pig combines with the Tiger creating a new energy and hence problems are avoided. I’m not sure the pendant works, but give it a go. I believe just being aware of this challenging energy can make you more careful and cautious thereby avoiding the clash.
- If you have a Horse or Dog in your Four Pillars, 2022 is considered a good year for you.
- If you have Yin Metal in the Heavenly Stem of your year or day pillar, your Nobleman appears this year. A Nobleman brings strong support and help during 2022.
- If you have a Rat or Dragon in your day or year pillar, in 2022 you will crave change, variety, movement and travel.
- The Tiger forms part of a Fire Penalty. If you have a Snake or Monkey in your four pillars, the Fire Penalty may inflame relationship issues and trigger legal problems. Health-wise, inflammation anywhere in the body is a possible theme, but pay close attention to heart health. Like a raging fire, think sudden, fast, unexpected and major. Grandmaster Raymond Lo says ‘carry pendant of Pig as protection to minimize the negative effect.’ The Pig combines with the Tiger creating a new energy and hence problems are avoided. Does it work, I’m not sure, let me know if it does. I believe just being aware of this challenging energy can make you more careful and cautious thereby avoiding negative outcomes.

Feng Shui for 2022
Each year, it’s important to tap into and enhance the positive annual feng shui energies, and weaken the challenging annual feng shui energies, thereby balancing and harmonising the energy of your home and life. The two numbers which are the most problematic each year are 5 and 2, and must be remedied.
North – 1 – Wisdom Star – Positive
- If the main door to your home or business is facing North, things will run smoothly this year and financial problems will not be an issue unless your Four Pillars of Destiny say otherwise.
- If your bedroom is located in the North section of your home, your relationships will be harmonious and your health will not be a problem unless your Four Pillars of Destiny indicate otherwise.
South West – 2 Sickness Star – Very Challenging
- If the main door to your home or business is facing South West, you may be financially worse off in 2022. Chime a Tibetan tingsha or singing bowl once a week near your front door focusing on prosperity.
- If your bedroom is located in the South West section of your home, your relationships will be less harmonious and your health may suffer. Chime a Tibetan tingsha or singing bowl once a week in your bedroom to weaken this challenging energy focusing on good health and relationships.
East – 3 Conflict Star – Challenging
- If the main door to your home or business is facing East, you may be financially worse off in 2022 with arguments, conflicts and legal issues causing problems. The Fire element weakens this challenging energy. Place red/purple/pink objects (pots, pictures, rugs, throws) near your front door.
- If your bedroom is located in the East section of your home, your relationships will be less harmonious and your health may be affected due to stress. Place red/purple/pink objects (pots, pictures, rugs, throws) in your bedroom to weaken this challenging energy.
South East – 4 Romance Star – Neutral
- If the main door to your business is facing South East, you may find people have more interest in your products/services. If your home front door faces East you may find you and other family members may have more romantic proposals. The 4 Romance Star also supports academic success and creativity. To support the energies, keep the entrance tidy and visually beautiful.
- If your bedroom is located in the South East section of your home, your health and relationships may improve if you keep the bedroom tidy and attractive. As romantic liaisons are stimulated, you could have problems with competition, particularly if the bedroom is messy and cluttered.
Centre – 5 Misfortune Star – Very Challenging
- If your home, flat or business is located in the center of a block, misfortune is stimulated. Metal is the element that diminishes the power of this challenging energy. I recommend you chime a bell, singing bowl or tingsha weekly in this area focusing on prosperity and good luck.
- If your bedroom should happen to fall in the center of your home, your health and relationships may suffer this year. I recommend you chime a bell, singing bowl or tingsha weekly in this area focusing on good health and relationships.
North West – 6 Power Star – Neutral
- If the front door of your home or business is facing North West, power, fame and authority are stimulated. To bring out the positive energies of this star – good relations with authority such as your boss, police, councils etc. you must keep this area tidy and visually beautiful. Remove all clutter. If this area is untidy and looks uninviting, you may stimulate problems with the boss and people in positions of power over you. Council issues and speeding/parking fines can increase.
- If your bedroom is located in the North West of your home, please ensure your bedroom is neat and visually attractive to bring out the positive qualities of the 6 Power Star.
West – 7 Gossip Star – Challenging
- If the front door or your home of business is facing West, your finances may deteriorate this year with an increase in fire, accidents and theft. The 7 Gossip Star is bad for business as it stimulates gossip and negative word of mouth advertising. Place 3 or 4 lucky bamboo in a vase at the entrance to help diminish the negative energy.
- If your bedroom is located in the West section of your home, your health and relationships may be worse in 2022. Ensure you have a fire alarm in the bedroom, check all smoke alarm batteries and turn off all electrical items at night including electric blankets. A wood bedhead and base will help to diminish the negative energies located here.
North East – 8 Fortune Star – Very auspicious
- Congratulations! If the front door of your home or business is facing North East, your finances and/or business will improve this year, unless your Four Pillars of Destiny indicate otherwise. Place a large red picture or rug at the entrance to your home or business. Make sure this entrance is used all the time this year as activity helps stimulate this fortunate energy.
- If your bedroom is located in the North East section of your home, your health and relationships will be good this year, unless your Four Pillars of Destiny indicate otherwise. Buy a lovely red rug, throw or picture and put it in your bedroom this year.
South – 9 – Success Star – Very auspicious
- Congratulations! If the front door of your home or business is facing South, your finances and/or business will improve this year, unless your Four Pillars of Destiny indicate otherwise. Place a large red picture or rug at the entrance to your home or business. Make sure this entrance is used all the time this year as activity helps stimulate this fortunate energy.
- If your bedroom is located in the South section of your home, your health and relationships will improve this year, unless your Four Pillars of Destiny say otherwise. Buy a lovely red rug, throw or picture and put it in your bedroom this year.
Annual time stars are far more accurate when analysed in conjunction with the unique feng shui chart of your home or building, which is based on the year your home, shop or office was built and the exact facing direction.
