Overview

* The prediction is valid for 2022 (year of the Tiger) starting from Feb. 1, 2022 and lasting to Jan. 21, 2023.

Rating: 4 stars
In 2022, people born under the Chinese zodiac animal sign of the Dragon should particularly mind that under the influence of the “Destruction of Tai Sui (the Grand Duke Jupiter or Grand Commander of the Year)” in 2021, the fortune is relatively not good, and at the moment, many Dragon guys are still immersed in the previous failures and have not come out of the failures. They will be easy to be impetuous, and may be out of control in the face of difficulties and obstacles in work and daily life, incurring a lot of pressure and stress on themselves. However, their fortune will make changes and improvement in the second half of the year. The “Guo Yin (literally Stately Seal)” lucky star will bring good luck to the Dragons in the aspects of career, hence the opportunities for promotion.

Career
Rating: 4 stars
In 2022, the overall career luck of the Dragon guys will be subject to test. They may be in a very confused state this year, especially at the beginning of the year, they may feel lost and don’t even know where they should head for. However, Dragons should not be discouraged. In 2022, with the help of the patron of the Guo Yin (stately seal) lucky star, they will get some good opportunities, but it will also test the abilities of the Dragon guys because such rising and promotional opportunities require a certain price in exchange such as such as job/duty transfer, or leaving home.

As such, if the Dragons want to invest in business or loans or deal with other matters, they should think it over carefully as long as it involves money.
Health
Rating: 4 stars
The health fortune of the Dragon guys in 2022 will be good. However, they may have some depression and stress in life and work, which could result in the occasional fatigue of the body. In particular, those with poor gastrointestinal problems may suffer from the recurrence of their illness. However, more attention should be paid to the health of the family.

Therefore, the Dragon guys should mind and pay special attention to the health of their wives and mothers.

  1. Wood Dragon 🐉 Your description of introversion, independence and strength of character is what I notice about you too! Haha I love how you totally agree you’d be a nightmare Chinese wife😄👏🏻

    1. More like, it‘s a nightmare scenario to *me*. 🙂 I probably wouldn‘t care a hoot whether I‘d make the whole thing a nightmare to anybody else … more likely I‘d just consider it their just deserts! 😈😼

        1. I have the highest respect for any parents who manage to combine jobs / careers and bringing up children, particularly if they share the burdens equally. For myself, I knew early on that that was not going to be an option …!

          1. I have high respect for my parents too, and my sister and brother in law who are accomplishing that feat right now. My sister is so overwhelmed though. She has 2 kids and is a school teacher at the same time🤯🤯Working and child caring at the same time just seems like pure misery to me? But sharing the burden equally may be the only way to do it. Still…Madness.
