The first article of 2022 — the long-awaited Fortune of the Year of the Tiger (Ren Yin) — has finally arrived. Published just in time for the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the day we welcome the God of Wealth, and right before the world returns to work. No small feat.
The reason I pushed to get this out on this particular day is simple: this piece is a comprehensive overview that directly analyzes each Chinese zodiac sign’s wealth fortune (cái yùn), career, blessings, relationships, and favorable and unfavorable influences for the year ahead.
The Chinese zodiac isn’t as precise or thorough as a full Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology) reading, but it’s far from useless as a reference — and frankly, I don’t have the time or bandwidth to do a personal destiny reading for every single reader. So the earlier this is published and the earlier you read it, the sooner you’ll have a clear map of your fortune (yùn shì) for the entire year.
Especially in an era like this one, where every step feels like walking on thin ice — avoiding one small misstep and catching one small opportunity can be the difference that reshapes the entire trajectory of your life. You know it’s true.
So, without further ado: Master Chi sincerely hopes that what follows gives you the guidance and insight you need to navigate your Year of the Tiger — may you welcome the new year with both wealth and blessings, carrying the full force and spirit of the Tiger!

Starting the Year of the Tiger by talking about the Tiger — consider it a small act of privilege for all my brothers and sisters born under this sign.
