1 February marks the Lunar New Year, and according to Chinese astrology we will move from the Year of the Metal Ox to that of the Water Tiger. What might that mean for the creative sector?
This ancient system of Chinese astrology is guided by the interactions of its 12 animals, five earth elements and influences of Ying and Yang. It’s complex and nuanced – but then so are the arts. With enough knowledge, we can discern our fortunes based on the time and year of our birth.
