February is Chinese New Year month

The Lunar New Year, better known as Chinese New Year, is celebrated in several eastern countries, in addition to China, of course, including Thailand, Vietnam, Tibet, Korea and Japan. There is no exact date to celebrate the new year , as it happens in the Gregorian calendar, as these countries follow the lunisolar calendar – based on the positions of the sun and moon – and, this year, it was celebrated on February 1st. The date symbolizes more than attracting fortune, it is also the moment when many Chinese return to their hometowns, since since the 1990s, China has enjoyed a week of holidays.

This new year is the year of the Tiger. According to the Chinese zodiac, it is the third of twelve animals and symbolizes boldness, courage, enthusiasm, ambition and brings a sense of justice, as well as empathy that translates into a commitment to helping others for the greater good. In order, the zodiac signs are: rat, bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. There are also five terrestrial elements – metal, water, wood, fire and earth – that accompany the sign, one each year and, in 2022, it will be ruled by water, which symbolizes intelligence, wisdom, softness and flexibility.

For the more mystical, it is time to use amulets, colors and even make use of foods that bring such energies into their lives and into their homes. Thus, the Water Tiger, as the new year is defined from February 1st, can be represented in different ways, including by means of stones and ornaments that refer to the animal's colors. Among a coloration that varies between shades of orange and brown, the tiger's coat meets the energies pronounced for the new year, since orange means, among others, prosperity and success, directly correlating with the feeling of ambition, symbolized by the tiger, just as brown means comfort, security and simplicity, alluding to the mentions proposed by the water element.

To meet the most demanding exoteric needs, Guidoni suggests Black Taurus granite. An exotic coating that has golden and beige veins, with an ebony background, creating a natural 'brindle' look. As a result, dynamic patterns that guarantee personality and boldness, as well as the animal that will be celebrated in the next twelve months, in the East and here too.
