Overview
The water Tiger year is quite different energy for Rooster. You and the Tiger come from different worlds. But it's you who will need to adjust to new circumstances and ways of doing things this year. You might be tempted to complain of worldwide inefficiencies, poor management, or waste in general. But since it will be difficult to get the world to change, it’s better for you to focus on self-improvement instead. You're a natural leader—but this year, be a leader for yourself.

2022 brings you to the last year of your three-year seed-tending period. In your 12-year cycle, this is akin to the last bit of summer, when the farm is alive with tall, strong plants. What you started a few years back is really taking hold. Profits are beginning to roll in. Relationships are becoming stronger. Your presence in the community is felt. It's almost time for harvest. Now, you can lie down and rest for a moment as you wait for opportunities.
In the water Tiger year, it's good to consider how you could make your life incrementally better. You may be automating some tasks, delegating stuff you don't want to do, and eliminating the excess that's in your way. You're streamlining your daily life.
Mindfulness will also be important in 2022. Be aware of what triggers you and what pulls you into an emotional loop. You might consider journaling or meditation. You are learning more about yourself.
Overall, the word for Rooster is “planning.” Success is achieved one step at a time.
Love
Most of your relationships are quite good in 2022. You can have meaningful connections with longtime friends and coworkers. Friends who are going through life changes may be leaning on you for help. Your reassurances and attention will be much appreciated. If you're in a committed relationship, you are valuing each other and moving toward a true partnership. But on the other hand, the single Rooster can find lovers who go from hot to cold to hot again. You may have to be very patient while the other person makes up their mind.
There is a solar eclipse on April 30. Now, after patiently waiting for someone to come around, you are the one being pursued.

Around the new moon on November 23, a friend may bring you a problem to solve. They may have painted themselves into the proverbial corner, and now they need your advice to get themselves out. This could involve a secret affair. Be cautious, Rooster, or else you could get dragged into a love triangle.
Family & Friends
In the year of the water Tiger, you may find yourself getting less sleep than usual. This can be followed by periods of inactivity, where you feel restless but are too busy to fit in your usual favorite exercise. Rooster, you can tend toward extremes in your diet and activities, going from not paying attention to being really focused. This year, look for balance and try to find the middle ground.

There is a lunar eclipse on May 15, and this is the time to consider your long-term goals. You may speak to a former colleague, who gives you ideas that you hadn't considered before.

Money
Rooster, 2022 could be one of your best financial years in some time. The focus is on passive income sources, or money that comes from a side business. While income from your career is steady, the real growth potential comes from things you do outside your career. This could include retail arbitrage, where you are finding items at a low price and selling them for a profit. This could be a fun and social project for you to be involved in.
The lunar eclipse on May 15 could bring gains through real estate or a family connection. An investment-savvy uncle, or your teenager who has mad tech skills, could help you make some extra money.
The new moon on December 23 shows the success. You are a good steward of your money, Rooster. And you're likely adding regularly to both your piggy bank and your brokerage account. Now you're starting to see real growth.
