Tuesday marked the start of the new Lunar New Year celebrations for 2022, and so you might be wondering what the year of the Water Tiger has in store for you as we transition away from the year of the Ox.

The Quicky speaks to an expert in Chinese astrology and an expert in cultural exchange to find out not just what lies ahead, but also why some are saying the Tiger could be just what we need to bring about the beginning of the end of the pandemic.

You can find out more about your fortune in the Lunar New Year of the Tiger here.
