Abstract:
The USA is a monkey and will have a tough year in this Year of the Tiger as it Tiger’s opposite. See, for example, my prediction of nothing less than the collapse of the USA in 2022 - https://astrolos.blogspot.com/2018/10/astrological-energies-around-collapse.html .
Notable Water Tigers include Tom Cruise, Ralph Fiennes,
Michele Yeoh, Jody Foster, Demi Moore, the Village of Sedona AZ, Albert
Namatjira, Mayra Martinez. Sue, MunYee and Chris. All can expect to be
"attacked by Fortune", to use Plato's phrase to describe an
effulgence of 'good luck'.
Horses and Dogs can expect to prosper well in Tiger's embrace of good Fortune; Snakes, Ox, Dragons and Monkeys, as mentioned, NOT SO MUCH!
Note that Tigers may not fare so well in Tiger Years. See in the compatibility table Tiger-Tiger ranks 5, very incompatible. The best way to ascertain what might go down in this Tiger Year is to recall what happened in Tiger Years past: 2010, 1998, 1986, 1974, 1962...
Timing: Chinese New Year – Year of the Black-Water Tiger begins at the New Moon The exact new moon time is at 9:46 p.m. PST, 31 Jan 2020.
The Chinese animal year begins each Western year about 4 February - it does not begin at the Chinese New Year. Those born 3, 4 or 5 February should consult http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/Chineseastrology.htm to correctly ascertain their Chinese animal sign. I use 4 February to determine the Oriental animal years.

Compatibility legend
1 excellent 2
successful 3 – good 4 –
fair 5 – awkward 6 – clash
We can construct a rough ‘affability quotient’ for
the signs by summing the compatibilities of each of the 12 signs with each of
the other. Thus,
Rat – 36
Ox – 39
Tiger – 45
Rabbit – 37
Dragon – 37
Snake – 38
Horse – 40
Goat – 40
Monkey – 35
Rooster – 43
Dog – 38
Pig - 31
Tigers are, by quite a bit, the most fractious—unruly
and independent—followed by Roosters. Pigs are by far the most affable. Using the compatibility table, it is possible to make rough estimates on how
your year will go. When it is your year it is invariably transforming and
expansive - sometimes too much so. When it is the opposite of your year, that
is, 6 years away, it can be restrictive and inharmonious.
The first day of the animal year is different from the Chinese New Year Day.
The animal year starts on the first day of the Tiger month. Tiger month begins
from the day when Sun enters ecliptic 315-degree position, which is around
February 4 Gregorian calendar. That means the animal month is solar month,
not lunar month. For an even more thorough discussion of the animal and
Chinese New Year see http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/clc/LunarCalendar.htm

How Oriental Astrology works: Oriental astrology is
essentially “good luck” astrology in that it tracks the planet Jupiter,
considered to be one’s Greater Fortune. Jupiter takes 12 years to transit the
zodiac of 12 signs. Therefore, in whatever year you were born, every 12 years
when your Oriental zodiac animal year returns, the planet Jupiter will be in
the same sign it was when you were born. Jupiter is called Guru in Hindu
astrology and is considered your spiritual teacher.
Thus, roughly speaking, ALL Rabbits [Cat] have Jupiter in
Aries; Dragons, Jupiter in Taurus; Snakes, Jupiter in Gemini; Horse, Jupiter in
Cancer; Sheep [Goat], Jupiter in Leo; Monkey, Jupiter in Virgo; Rooster,
Jupiter in Libra; Dog, Jupiter in Scorpio; Pig, Jupiter in Sagittarius; Rat,
Jupiter in Capricorn; Cow [Ox], Jupiter in Aquarius; Tiger, Jupiter in Pisces.
AND because when Jupiter returns to the place it was when
you were born that causes an expansion of the “good luck” in your horoscope.
Some signs have more innate “good luck” than others, so the Oriental animal
year is more important to some signs than others. Because Jupiter is exalted in
Cancer, Horses probably experience more increased good luck during Horse
year than other signs do in theirs. And I note in passing that from wealth
studies of university contributions it has been determined that the wealthiest
cohort in America has been the class of 1964, those born in the Horse Year
1942.
Incidentally, I have never seen this derivation of
Oriental astrology anywhere – I arrived at it myself.
