6 sneakers to step out in for Chinese New Year 2024, the Year of the Dragon

Fire Tiger Month: February 4 to March 5

Elements of the month: Yang Fire / Wood

Energy of the Tiger: Revered, courage, protection, nobility

The Tiger corresponds to the hours between: 3am – 5am

Born within Tiger hours: The Tiger is a crepuscular animal – it hunts in the predawn. Those born within the Tiger hours, therefore, tend to be front-footed, proactive, independent, fierce and business minded.

They will also most likely be early risers, as they like to prepare for the coming day. Always first to take advantage of opportunities, their success may be largely due to alertness rather than luck. Others may regard you as aggressive and over ambitious.

Born in the Tiger year (1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010): Courageous and active, Tigers love a good challenge and adventure in life. They are daring, enthusiastic and generous with a strong sense of justice and a commitment to helping others for the greater good. They are fiercely independent and possess strong self-esteem. However, they do relish their personal space – boundaries and territory are important to them.

Born during the Tiger month (February): Their best suited careers are lawyer, social worker, journalist, political adviser, activist or charity worker.

Born on Tiger days: Fearless, restless and impatient, they have magnetic personalities. They walk their talk and prowl their environment with respect for nature. They are environmentally astute and make good campaigners. Tiger parents can be overly protective as their big cat signs enhance their sense of awareness of danger.

If you have one or more Tiger signs in your birth chart, meaning that you were either born in a Tiger year plus month, day or hours, your Tiger traits will be magnified especially during February, your specific astrological month.

What does February hold for your astrological sign?

These generic forecasts carry different nuances dependent upon whether this animal rules your year, month, day or hour.

√ Ox – your time to shine

Don’t hold back, put your ideas and thoughts into action as you have an excellent month ahead.

One word of warning is to keep personal data secure so as to prevent computer and social media hacking.

√ Tiger – expect positive attention

As this is your astrological month and you share space with the Ox on the Chinese compass holding the direction of northeast, you may expect plenty of positive attention, especially around Valentine’s Day.

If you can be vigilant and disciplined, you will avoid falling down the game of snakes and ladders! Change is in the air for you this year with the potential for a relocation, so every cent counts.

∞ Horse – be bold
