Born in 2022: the Water Tiger (壬寅) in Korean Saju
2022 is a Water Tiger year — 壬寅 in the 60-year cycle.
Tigers are brave, independent and full of energy. They protect the underdog and hate being told what to do.
Water years shape people who flow — intuitive, adaptable and deep thinkers.
In Korean Saju the year starts at Ipchun (입춘), not on January 1. In 2022 Ipchun fell on February 4, 2022, 05:45 (Korea time, 20:45 UTC). Born before that? Your animal is the the Ox.
