The Year of the Tiger 2022 brings the Wood element. Wood generates Fire, helping tourism and entertainment in many countries recover somewhat after 2 gloomy years. However, 2022 is not a peaceful year, with the Russia-Ukraine conflict, due to the aggressive nature of the Water Tiger. In 2023, the Fire element is still completely absent.

This year, because Metal overcomes Wood, the Wood element will bring prosperity to industries related to Metal, such as banking, high technology, cars, machinery, cosmetics... The next beneficiaries are industries related to Wood, because Wood overcomes Earth. These are media, fashion, environment, herbs...
Fire-related industries, such as restaurants, entertainment, finance, and energy, are still vibrant, but not overly prosperous.
On the contrary, the fields related to Water, such as traffic and transportation, will face difficulties. The Earth industries will also face challenges, such as real estate, mining, and insurance.
According to SCMP , Feng Shui experts say that the Year of the Dragon always attracts attention because it is the only animal that does not exist in the 12 zodiac signs.

Therefore, experts advise people to always be ready for an unpredictable and volatile year.
However, thanks to the Wood element symbolizing intelligence, the Year of the Dragon can promote science and technology. Breakthroughs in AI and robots are predicted to appear more and more this year.

This year will also see major changes globally, as countries hold elections. Allen advises people to be cautious with their personal finances. She says cash always has value and investment decisions should be considered carefully.
