Creative work predictions for Year of Tiger

If 2022 has you spinning already, the upcoming Lunar New Year might have different things in store for your creative year.

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?

Rat people are, like their namesake, born for survival and adaptability. In this Year of the Tiger, if you’re a Rat you’ll most likely see your work life become more consistent than last year (Rats have much better relationships with Tigers than they do with the Ox). It’s therefore a good time to harness that calmer creative energy, and ride its easy flow. If you’re an artist, planning free-flowing studio time will be a nice gateway to these adventures.
