Happy Chinese New Year!
Did you know that:
- 2022 is a year of the Water Tiger that comes from Tiger’s five elements (Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth)
- The year of the Tiger occurs only every 12 years! Consequently, previous Tiger’s years were in 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, and 2010!
- This 2022 promises to be a prosperous year since the Tiger in the Chinese zodiac is associated with signs of strength, exorcising evils, and braveness!

How to start affecting LUCK? Well, simply begin with congrats to your friends and family right after the clock rings midnight on Chinese New Year Eve’s (January 31st)! Plus, it is not too late to prepare red packets for your closest ones as a traditional Chinese gift! (FYI: the red packet is a gift of money inserted into an ornate red pocket of paper).
