Animal Sign Luck 2018 Chinese Zodiacs Luck 2018 Predictions for the year of the Yang Earth Dog

There are twelve animal signs or 12 Chinese zodiac signs in Chinese Astrology. Each of us was born with an animal sign.

Before going into the animal sign luck 2018 prediction parts, a very important Chinese Astrology concept needs to remember.

1. Animal sign of a person is calculated by the year of birth. However, the animal sign does not calculate from the first day of the Chinese New Year to the next Chinese New Year.
2. The correct animal sign calculation method is that the new animal sign of each year starts at the time of Lichun – the “Start of Spring”. It normally falls on the western calendar on the 3^rd, 4th or 5th February each year.

This year, the Chinese New Year is on the 16^th February. If a baby was born on any time from 0530 on the 4^th February to 15^th February 2018. Even though those days are before the Chinese New Year, the correct animal sign is Dog. 0530 on the 4^th February is the point of Lichun for 2018, the year of the Dog has begun.

Once again, remember the date passes the point of LiChun, the new animal sign starts.

A FULL Chinese Astrology reading examines NOT only the year of birth (the Animla Sign) but also the birth month, the birth day and the birth hour together. By incorporating with the Luck and yearly pillars, A Chinese Astrologer can see a picture of your destiny from your birth data.

By just using the animal signs or Chinese zodiac signs, it is difficult to completely and fully predict just on how each year will affect each individual at a very details level. It is because such animal sign astrology is only examined 25% (1/4 the year of birth) and in some cases 37.5% of the four pillars’ natal chart by adding the birth into calculation.

For more reliable assessment in all aspects of your life in year of the Yang Earth Dog 2018, I recommend that you have your Bazi chart read by a reputable Chinese Astrologer.

Based on the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch 2018 year of the Dog, so the animal signs the Dragon, Dog itself, Ox and Goat affected the most by the Yang Earth Dog.

Feng Shui 2018 - Year of the Yang Earth Dog predictions Earth

Feng Shui 2018 is Earth Luck which is about the yearly Feng Shui Qi of our houses and offices.

Earth Luck Feng Shui 2018 is to deal with the good and the bad yearly Feng Shui energy in where we live, work and play.

We need to activate the good Feng Shui energy and balance or supress the bad Qi if there is any around our houses.

If you have read my Earth Luck articles previously, you may know that each year, there are three big Sha Qi (煞氣 Bad Energy) and three lucky stars flying around regardless of the facing and sitting of your house. There is also a couple of medium Sha Qi rotating each year. These good Qi and bad Qi shift to different locations or sectors of your house each year.  I will give you some tips how to deal with them.

The year of the Dog is bad for the North and west northwest sectors.

Here are the three big Sha Qi and their names for Feng Shui 2018:

1. The Grand Duke or the Tai Sui (太歲),
2. The Three-killings (三煞) and
3. The Five Yellow annual star (五黃).

The two medium Sha Qi are called:

1. The Wu and Ji Sha (戊己煞).
2. The Sui Poh (歲破) (The direction opposite to the Tai Sui).

Please note these three Sha Qi have the power to override any natal flying stars chart combinations regardless how good the flying star chart is. So we need to treat these 3 Sha Qi very carefully.

The three positive energy or lucky stars are annual flying stars number 6, 8 and 9. Here are the directions and positions of the good and bad energy in the year of the Yang Earth Dog around your house and office.

FENG SHUI 2018 Qi DISTRIBUTION IN THE YEAR OF THE YANG EARTH DOG.

1. The Tai Sui (Grand Duke) in the year of the Dog, It is located at the west northwest sector. (戌字位 292.50 – 307.50 degree)
2. San Sha (the 3-killings) arrives at the North (Kan Gua坎卦337.50 – 22.50Degree)
3. The Five Yellow. It is landed at the North too. (Kan Gua. 離卦337.50 – 22.50 Degree )
4. The power and promotion star number 6 is at Southwest. ( Kun Gua 坤卦 202.5-247.50 Degree)
5. The money and prosperity star number 8 is at southeast (Xun Gwa巽卦112.5-157.5 Degree).
6. The Flower of Romance star number 9 is at centre.

In traditional Feng Shui, there is a saying. It states that:

“大煞宜避, 中煞可制, 小煞不理”  Direction translation is:  “Avoid the biggest Sha. Cure the medium Sha. Neglect the tiny Sha.”

The number one rule to deal with the Sha Qi is: “Respect them and DO NOT disturb it or activate it”.

Do not activate the Sha Qi. Therefore, “Move Earth”, which means digging ground or renovating the sectors inside and outside of your house, is prohibited.

Yearly bad energy is like a sleeping tiger. It will be fine if it has not been disturbed. However, if the tiger is wakening up and you are happened to be nearby, it will hurt you.

THE WEST NORTHWEST (292.50 – 307.50) 戌字位 XU POSITION) HAS THE TAI SUI SHA.

The Tai Sui is also known as The Grand Duke. It is the yearly King. The Tai Sui locates at the west northwest or the Xu sector ( 戌字位)  in the year of the Dog. The Xu sector is within the Qian Gua area (乾卦). It is the Father or eldest man sector.

Tai Sui relates to Health and Emotion.

If your main entrance or your bed locates at the west northwest AND if you are the father or eldest man over 48 of age in the house, please pay attention to respiratory system including, lung, throat, nose and large intestines.

If you were born in the Dog, Dragon, Ox and Goat year, the Tai Sui will make you much more stubborn than other years.

Think before you leap. Meditation helps.

In the world scale Feng Shui, the west northwest sector is Europe area, 2018 the year of the Dog is not a very stable year for Europe again. April and October 2018 are the most unstable months. Beware if you have business in Europe.

The best way to minimize any bad Qi and sickness energy is not to stir up the yearly Sha Qi sector which is the west northwest sector of your house inside and outside in the year of the Dog.

Activate and disturb means “Move Earth”, digging, nailing, chisel and renovation.  Do not disturb the Tai Sui sector including the wall, floor, ground and the garden, inside and outside.

Don’t slam the door as sound waves can activate the Sha Qi too. Make sure opening and closing the door slowly and gently at the Sha Qi sector.

To reduce the impact of the Tai Sui of the year, place a black vase fills with 80% full of clear water or salt water. . If the problem persists, you can place two red flowers into the vase and follow by adding 6 ice cubes every Saturday.

THE SAN SHA (3-KILLING) & THE FIVE YELLOW #5 STAR ARRIVES AT THE NORTH SECTOR (KAN GUA坎卦337.50 – 22.50 DEGREE).

In the year of the Dog - Feng Shui 2018, the two super harmful Sha Qi arrives at the NORTH sector hand in hand together.

The Three-killing Sha Qi represents lawsuits, gossips, arguments.

The Five-Yellow represents misfortune and obstacles.

We must minimize these two Sha Qi as much as possible. Otherwise, if the qi is activate, the men age at their 30s may have problems related to the water system or reproductive system.

If the main door of your house faces north or the bed is at this sector, the male at 30s of age must pay extra attention to the water system.

If there is another door way comes into the house at the different direction, even you need to walk a few steps more, just use it. Don’t use the north sector door.

Do not let someone drag you in gambling and risky investments. If so, lawsuits and relationship problems will follow you.

To reduce the effect of the San Sha and Five Yellow bad Qi, you can place a standing yellow ceramic Ox next to the door.

THE ROMANCE STAR 9, MONEY STAR 8 AND POWER STAR 6

Money Star #8

The annual star number #8 which means wealth and prosperity is located at the southeast sector in the year of Dog 2018.

Southeast is the Xun Gua, it is the eldest daughter’s sector, wealth will good for lady in their mid-30s to late 40s if you activate here. It will be even better if you have an entrance here or sleep in this sector.

If there is an entrance at southeast of your house, this is already activated. To increase the strength, you can place a water feature or 4 lucky bamboos here.

The other method is place a 1.3 meter tall indoor plant next to the entrance .

THE ROMANCE STAR 9

The annual star number #9 which means romance and happy events is at the middle of the house.

The annual star number #9 also can increase people luck meaning if it is activated, it bring you to meet more people.

If the number is over activating by candles it may bring Fire and burn the house.

There is a better way.

So at the centre of the house or the centre of a place where family members mostly gather together, place a metal vase, add 60-70% of clean water into the vase and grow 4 lucky bamboos in the vase.

Power star #6

Also known as the promotion star, the annual star #6 comes to the southwest sector of the house. If your house’s main entrance is at this sector, the mother of the house has a lucky year.  She will be having good opportunity getting promoted, change to a better job or re-join the work force in the year of the Dog.

You can activate the area by place a red carpet or place a ceramic goat.

Sui Poh(歲破) and Wu Ji Sha戊己.

The Sui Poh is opposite to the Tai Sui sector. It is located at Chen (辰字位) in the east southeast sector.

The Wu Ji Sha is located at the south 172.5-187.50 Degree202.50-217.50 degree.

In Sui Poh and the Wu Ji Sha areas “Move Earth” or Digging the areas is prohibited.

The above summed up some important areas for your house and office. As each house and office are different. In addition, the occupants have different animal signs.  There are lots can be done to activate the good energy specifically for a particular person.

If you are not sure what you are doing, you can always contact a Feng Shui consultant near you.

All the best and have prosperity Year of the Yang Earth Dog 2018.

Before going into the predictions, a very important Chinese Astrology concept needs to remember first.

Animal sign of a person is calculated by the year of birth. The animal sign does not calculate from Chinese New Year to the next Chinese New Year.
The correct animal sign calculation method is that the animal sign of the year changes at the time of Lichun – the “Start of Spring”. It normally falls on the western calendar on the 3rd, 4th or 5th February each year.
For example, the Chinese New Year falls on the 28th January 2017. If a baby was born on any day from between 28th January 2017 to 3rd February 2017, even though it passed the Chinese New Year, the animal sign still is Monkey. Once, the date passes the point of LiChun, and then the new animal sign starts. In 2017, once the time passes the point of Lichun, the animal sign Rooster is in.

A FULL Chinese Astrology reading examines NOT only the year of birth but also the birth month, the birth day and the birth hour together. By incorporating with the Luck and yearly pillars, A Chinese Astrologer can see a picture of your destiny from those data.

By using the animal signs or Chinese zodiac signs, it is difficult to completely and fully predict just on how each year will affect each individual at a very details level. It is because such animal sign astrology is only examined 12.5% (1/8) and in some cases 25% (1/4) of the four pillars’ natal chart.

Feng Shui 2017 and Earth Luck

Earth Luck or Feng Shui 2017 is about the yearly Feng Shui Qi of our houses and offices. Hence I call it Feng Shui 2017.

Earth Luck Feng Shui 2017 is to deal with the good and the bad yearly Feng Shui energy in where we live, work and play.

We need to activate the good Feng Shui energy and balance or suppress the bad Qi if there is any around our houses.

If you have read my Earth Luck articles previously, you may know that each year, there are three big Sha Qi (煞氣 Bad Energy) and three lucky stars flying around regardless of the facing and sitting of your house. There is also a couple of medium Sha Qi rotating each year. These good Qi and bad Qi shift to different locations or sectors of your house each year.  I will give you some tips how to deal with the Feng Shui 2017.

The year of the Yin Fire Rooster is bad for the east and west directions.

Here are the three big Sha Qi and their names:

1. The Grand Duke or the Tai Sui (太歲),

2. The Three-killings (三煞) and

3. The Five Yellow annual star (五黃).

The two medium Sha Qi are called:

1. The Wu and Ji Sha (戊己煞).

2. The Sui Poh (歲破) (The direction opposite to the Tai Sui).

Please note these three Sha Qi have the power to override any natal flying stars chart combinations regardless how good the flying star chart is. So we need to treat these 3 sectors very carefully.

The three positive energy or lucky stars are annual flying stars number 6, 8 and 9. Here are the directions and positions of the good and bad energy in the year of the Yin Fire Rooster around your house and office.

FENG SHUI 2017 Qi DISTRIBUTION IN THE YEAR OF THE YIN FIRE ROOSTER

1. The Tai Sui (Grand Duke) in the year of the Yin Fire Rooster, It is located at the west sector. (酉字位262.50 – 277.50 degree)

2. San Sha (the three-killings) arrives at the East sector (Zhen Gua震卦67.5-112.5 Degree).

3. The Five Yellow. It is landed at the South. (Li Gua. 離卦 157.5 – 202.5 Degree)

4. The power and promotion star number 6 is at North. ( Kan Gua 坎卦 337.5-22.5 Degree)

5. The money and prosperity star number 8 is at East (Zhen Gwa震卦67.5-112.5 Degree).

6. The Flower of Romance star number 9 is at Southeast.(Xun Gwa巽卦 112.5-157.5 Degree)

In traditional Feng Shui, there is a saying. It states that:

“大煞宜避, 中煞可制, 小煞不理”

Direction translation is:  “Avoid the biggest Sha. Cure the medium Sha. Neglect the tiny Sha.”

The number one rule to deal with the Sha Qi is: “DO NOT disturb it or activate it”.

Do not activate the Sha Qi. Therefore, “Move Earth”, which means digging ground or renovating the sectors inside and outside of your house, is prohibited.

Yearly bad energy is like a sleeping tiger. It will be fine if it has not been disturbed. However, if the tiger is wakening up and you are nearby, it will hurt you.

THE WEST (262.50 – 277.50) 酉字位YOU POSITION) HAS THE TAI SUI SHA.

The Tai Sui is also known as The Grand Duke. It is the yearly King. The Tai Sui locates at the west, the You sector ( 酉字位)  in the year of the Yin Fire Rooster. The You sector is also the Dui Gua (兌卦).

Tai Sui relates to health and emotion.

If your main entrance locates at the West or young g girls sleep at the west sector of the house.  Please pay attention to the followings:

The Dui Gua (兌卦) is metal element. In health, it is related to the respiratory system including, lung, throat, nose and large intestines.

The Dui Gua (兌卦) relates to young girl. This means that if a house is facing west, the young girls of the house would easily have respiratory and larger intestine problems.

Young girls, beware of love swindlers or cheaters in the year of the Yin Fire Rooster.

Parents should spend more time with their teenage daughters. Parents help their daughters to get through some difficulties instead of whinging them too much.

In the world scale Feng Shui, the west sector is Europe area, 2017 the year of the Yin Fire Rooster is not a very stable year for Europe. March and April 2017 are the most unstable months. Beware if you have business in Europe.

The best way to minimize bad Qi and sickness energy is not to stir up the yearly Sha Qi sector Which is the west sector of your house inside and outside in the year of Yin Fire Rooster.

Activate and disturb means “Move Earth”, digging, nailing, chisel and renovation.  Do not disturb the Tai Sui sector including the wall, floor, ground and the garden, inside and outside.

Don’t slam the door as sound waves can activate the Sha Qi too. Make sure opening and closing the door slowly and gently at the Sha Qi sector.

To reduce the impact of the Tai Sui of the year, place a black vase fills with 80% full of clear water or salt water. . If the problem persists, you can place two red flowers into the vase and follow by adding 6 ice cubes every Saturday.

THE SAN SHA (Three-Killing) arrives at the East sector (Zhen Gua震卦67.5-112.5 Degree).

In the year of the Yin Fire Rooster 2017, the Zhen Gua  震卦or the East sector of your house and office has the San Sha or the Three-killing Sha Qi.

The Three-killing Sha Qi represents lawsuits, gossips, arguments.

In health, the Zhen Gua震卦is wood element. It is related to the wood system in our body, they are the livers, the gall bladders, arms and legs, so the health issues related to the San Sha at Zhen Gua震卦could be liver problems (alcoholic problems), gall bladder stone, broken arms and legs.

If the main door of your house faces east, the male at mid-40s of the house, particularly who born in 1975 should pay more attention to the above issues. In addition, do not let someone drag you in gambling and risky investments. If so, lawsuits and relationship problems will follow you.

To reduce the effect of the San Sha or three-killing bad Qi, you can place a metal bucket or round metal object at the east sector outside the door.

 THE FIVE YELLOW #5 STAR LANDS AT THE SOUTG (LI GUA. 離卦157.5 – 202.5 Degree)

The Five Yellow #5 is a bad Feng Shui annual star. It represents misfortune and obstacles. It comes to the South sector, the Li Gua.

The Li Gua is the middle daughter area. So if there is a door way at the Li Gua (South sector) of the house and the area is activated, as the result, the middle daughter of the house will face some challenges.

Need to look after health relates to heart, blood and eye issues. The annual star 5 Yellow will also bring hot temper to the middle daughter.

To reduce the effect of the annual flying star #5, you can place a black vase filled with 80% full of clear water at the sector. Change the water once every 2 – 3 weeks.

You cannot change the main door position but you can move yourself away from the bad energy areas. You can move yourself to other sector if there is a spare room in your house.

THE ROMANCE STAR 9, MONEY STAR 8 AND POWER STAR 6

The annual star number #8 which means wealth and prosperity is located at the East sector in the year of the Yin Fire Monkey 2017. However, it is at the same sector as the San Sha. It helps reduce some San Sha effects or three-killing bad energy. It is best not to activate it. Keep the east sector clean and declutter the area before the Li Chun (start of spring, 4^th February 2017)

The annual star number #9 which means romance and happy events is at the southeast sector of your house. It is the Xun Gua. The Xun Gua is the elder daughter. So if your door way or this sector is activated in 2017. It will bring happy events or romance to the elder daughter.

You can activate this southeast sector with an indoor pot plant about 1.3 metres tall. Or you can also place a pot of water there, or both.

If the southeast sector is a bedroom or spare area, it is a good idea to sleep or have more activities there. (Including such activities for couples want to have baby in 2017)

The promotion annual star number #6 comes to the North sector of the house. If your house’s main entrance at the North sector, it will be a very good year ahead.

You can activate the area by place a black vase of water near the main entrance. To further increase its strength, you can add 6 ice cubes on every Wednesday and Saturday.

Sui Poh(歲破) and Wu Ji Sha戊己.

The Sui Poh is opposite to the Tai Sui sector. So It is  also located at Mao 卯字位in the east sector. (82.5-77.5 degree )

The Wu Ji Sha is at the 323.5 – 247.5 & 262.5 – 277.50 degree. One of them overlaps with the Tai Sui.

In Sui Poh and the Wu Ji Sha areas “Move Earth” or Digging the areas is prohibited.

The above summed up some important areas for your house and office. As each house and office are different. If you are not sure what you are doing, you can always contact a Feng Shui consultant near you.

HEAVEN LUCK IN THE YEAR OF THE YIN FIRE ROOSTER 2017

Heaven Luck is to predict major world events, weather and natural disasters. So people can prepare for it. For example, people can increase their insurance premium in the areas where may affect them.

The Qi or energy of Heaven Luck kicks in when the Earth goes passing the Winter Solstice (From North Hemisphere point of view), normally on the 21st or 22nd in December each year. Sometimes, we can see incidents start showing up two weeks before the Winter Solstice.

Let’s look at the characteristics of the Heavenly Stem (HS) and Earthly Branches (EB) in the Year of the Yin Fire Rooster 2017.

The Heavenly Stem for Yin Fire Rooster 2017 is (丁).
The Earthly Branch is You (酉). It is Metal element and it is represented by the animal sign Rooster.

The Earthly Branch You (酉) has no hidden element. Its element is purely metal.

The traditional way of arranging the HS & EB is from the top down. (Yin Fire sits on Metal or on the Rooster. That is why it is called the Year of the Yin Fire Rooster 2017)

丁: Yin Fire
酉: Yin Metal without hidden element.

The Melodic element is Fire. (Hill Side Fire 山下火)

In Feng Shui, the annual Purple White Flying Star, the Number 1 flies to the centre. It is the Kan Gua. Kan is water. It represents name, fame, intelligence and water.

Yin Fire Ding 丁in general represents Candle fire, Star lights, Stars, Torches, Stoves, Joss sticks and sparks.

Yin Fire Ding 丁, in human body represents the Hearts, Eyes, blood vessels and Blood circulation system.

Yin Fire Ding丁, its colour is red, pink, orange or purple.

Rooster You 酉 is Metal. The animal sign is Rooster. It represents small soft metal objects, such small knife, scissor, shear, needle, jewellery and small farming tools.

Yin Metal Rooster You 酉, in human body, it represents bone, skeleton, small intestine, lung, skin and throat (respiratory system). Its colour is silver, gold and white.

Here are the images showing the year of the Yin Fire Rooster.

With the above information and combinations, we can see these issues in the year of the Yin Fire Rooster 2017:

1. In the year of the Yin Fire Rooster 2017, the top level still bullies the bottom level.  (Fire controls Metal, the Rooster has no hidden elements, so the strength is stronger than 2016), It is still a conflict year.

2. The Rooster is the nobleman to the Ding Fire, so even though there are many conflicts in the year of the yin fire rooster, at the end, there is a powerful person or powerful organisation help resolves the problems.

3. There will be still Fire related incidents in the year of the Yin Fire Rooster causes by sparks. These incidents are such as bush fire, bombing, lightning, power failures, explosion, electrical accidents or burning down of a very prominent place, building or objects. It looks like fire on a metal object, building, tower and mid-air. It is most likely will be in the South direction of a capital city or in the South hemisphere. (Like in the Year of the fire Monkey 2016, the whole South Australia was blackout in September 2016)

4. The Rooster You 酉, is the one of the Peach Blossom animals, in the year of the Yin Fire Rooster, we will see a lot of sex scandals or love affairs. Young girls are easily in the centre of these issues. Young girls will be victimised.

5. Young girls are particularly easier having love agony and relationship issues. Don’t go out alone at late night. When return home, must have someone accompanied.

6. We may see more self-harm among teenage girls.

7. The You 酉, is good for the entertainment, fashion, beauty, porn, movie and music industries.

8. Yin Fire element controls Metal element. Metal is finance, banking, stock market, precious metals.  And this year the You 酉 has no hidden element. There is no buffet for the fire element. So the metal will be hurt very seriously. Beware in the March, June, September and December 2017.

9. In human body, Yin Fire element controls Metal element. We will still see issues with lung and respiratory system, hearts, eyes and blood circulation. (Hopefully, no thunder storm asthma attack again). Anyway, it is good to be well prepared. Please keep an inhaler in your first aid box or with you all time.

10.  The Yin Fire element controls Metal element. It shows that metal objects are burning or explosion. So, sea, land and air transportation may have more accidents.

11. Yin Fire Ding 丁, represents hearts, eyes, sparks. It gives a picture of welding sparks may cause fire, eyes and heart issues in the year of the Yin Fire Rooster.

12. The Metal Rooster You 酉can be seen as a bird. Bird flying in the sky looks like an aeroplane. Yin Fire sits on top of the aeroplane. So therefore, there will be more traffic incidents in the mid-air.  If travelling, you may want to avoid airlines with red logo, a bird or phoenix on their logos.

2016 AND 2017 “HILL SIDE FIRE”

“丙申丁酉山下火” The Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch combination produces a melodic element. The melodic element for 2016 and 2017 is called “Hill side Fire”.

Again, from melodic element point of view, it shows 2016, 2017 will have more fire incidents. And it will be severe bush fire burning around hill side areas.

ANNUAL FLYING STAR NUMBER 1

Year of the Yin Fire Rooster 2017, the annual Feng Shui flying star number 1 will be located in the centre palace. The number 1 is water element (Kan Gua).

Kan Gua annual star number #1 in the centre symbolizes name, fame, and intelligence and water issues.

The annual star number 1 (water Element) flies to the centre in 2017 will weaken the earth element. So property price may have strong impact in the year of the Yin Fire Rooster. The impact area is at the centre of a city.

Year of the Fire Monkey 2016 - Man Luck Animal Luck Predictions

Man luck is the luck outlook for every animal sign in the year of the Fire Monkey. There are twelve animal signs or Chinese zodiac signs in Chinese Astrology. Each of us was born with an animal sign.

So what is the year of the Fire Monkey 2016 hold for you?

A very important concept needs to remember first.

Animal sign of a person is calculated by the year of birth. The animal sign does not calculate from Chinese New Year to the next Chinese New Year. The correct animal sign calculation method is that the animal sign of the year changes at the “Start of Spring”. It normally falls on the western calendar on the 4th or 5th February each year.

A FULL Chinese Astrology reading examines NOT only the year of birth but also the birth month, the day and the birth hour together with the Luck and yearly pillars. Chinese Astrology reading focus on the day we were born. The day is called the Day Master or DM.

So, it is difficult to completely and fully predict just by using the animal signs or Chinese zodiac signs on how each year will affect each person individually at a very details level.

Such animal sign astrology is not totally reliable as the system is only examined 12.5% (1/8) or in some cases 25% (1/4) of the four pillars natal chart.

For more reliable assessment in all aspects of your life in year of the Fire Monkey 2016, it is recommended that you have your Bazi chart read by a reputable Chinese Astrologer near you.

Based on the yearly Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch, these are the sensitive animal signs affecting by the Grand Duke or Tai Sui (太歲) in the year of the Fire Monkey 2016.

4. The year of the Pig (Born in 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007)

The Heavenly Stem for 2016 is Yang Fire (丙).

The Earthly Branch underneath is Shen (申). It is Metal element and it is represented by the animal sign Monkey.

In human body, Yang Fire represents the heart, the eyes, the small intestine and the shoulders. Its colour is red, pink and purple.

Monkey Shen represents large intestine, lung, bones, skin and respiratory system. Its colour is silver, gold and white.

The Shen is also within the Kun Gua area. It is Earth element and Earth element is associated with digestive system, such as stomach, pancreas problem, food poisoning, muscle ache, skin, and cells disorder and so on.

Monkey, Tiger, Snake and Pig are the four birth places. They represent career and work, particularly monkeys and tigers who are working in the banking, finance and stock market sectors. Pay extra attention in February, May, August and November.

The above four sensitive animal signs should pay more attention when approaching major decision making, such as signing contract or be a guarantor.

More exercises, but not too intense, Taiji, Qigong and Yoga are perfect.

The year of the Fire Monkey also represents career and work.

Year of the Monkey 2016 - Earth Luck and Feng Shui Luck — by Edgar Lok Tin Yung Dec 2015

Earth Luck is about the yearly Feng Shui Qi or energy of our houses and offices.

Earth Luck is to deal with the good and the bad yearly Feng Shui energy or Qi in where we live, work and play.

We need to activate the good energy or Qi and balance or suppress the bad energy /Qi if there is any.

If you have read my Earth Luck articles previously, you may know that each year, there are three big Sha (煞氣 Bad Energy / Qi) and three lucky stars flying around regardless of the facing and sitting of your house. There is also a couple of medium Sha Qi rotating each year. These good Qi and bad Qi shift to different locations or sectors of your house each year.

The three Sha Qi are called:

1. The Grand Duke or the Tai Sui (太歲),
2. The Three-killings (三煞) and
3. The Five Yellow (五黃).

The two medium Sha Qi are called:

1. The Wu and Ji Sha (戊己).
2. The Sui Poh (歲破) (The direction opposite to the Tai Sui). It is located within the 5 Yellow sector.

Please note, these three Sha Qi have the power to override any natal flying stars chart combinations regardless how good the flying star chart is. So we need to treat these 3 sectors very carefully.

The three Good Qi or positive energy or lucky stars are number 6, 8 and 9. Here are the directions and positions of the good and bad energy in the year of the Monkey around your house and office.

FENG SHUI Qi ENERGY DISTRIBUTION FOR YEAR OF THE MONKEY 2016

1. The Tai Sui (Grand Duke) in the year of the Monkey, It is located at the southwest west sector. (申字位 232.50 – 247.50 degree)
2. San Sha (the three-killings) arrives at the South (Li Gua 離卦157.5-202.50 degree).
3. The Five Yellow. It is landed at the Northeast. (Gen Gua. 艮卦)
4. The power and promotion star number 6 is at South.( Li Gua 離卦)
5. The money and prosperity star number 8 is at South west (Kun Gwa 坤卦).
6. The Flower of Romance star number 9 is at East.(Zhen Gwa震卦)

In traditional Feng Shui, there is a Feng Shui saying. It states that:

大煞宜避, 中煞可制, 小煞不理
“Avoid the biggest Sha. Cure medium Sha. Neglect tiny Sha.”

The number one rule to deal with the Sha energy / Qi is: “DO NOT disturb it or activate it”.
Do not activate the Sha Qi. Therefore, “Move Earth”, which means digging ground or renovating the sectors inside and outside of your house, is prohibited.

THE SOUTHWEST WEST (232.50 – 247.50) 申字位 Shen POSITION) HAS THE TAI SUI SHA.
The Tai Sui is also known as The Grand Duke. It is the yearly King. The Tai Sui locates at the Southwest west sector in the year of the Monkey. The Shen is within the Kun Gua (坤卦) sector. Kun Gua is Earth element. Kun Gua represents the mother.
Earth Element is related to the Earth system in our body. Earth element is the digestive system, muscle, skin there may be issue related to these areas if the main door is located at this sector and if the area is disturbed.

The main door of your house faces southwest west, the mother or ladies over age of 50 years old should pay more attention to the Earth system of her body.

The best way to minimize bad luck and sickness energy is not to stir up the yearly bad energy sector. Yearly bad energy is like a sleeping tiger. It will be fine if it has not been disturbed. However, if the tiger is wakening up and you are nearby, it will hurt you.

“Move Earth” such as digging, renovation, will disturb the Bad Energy, so DO NOT dig, nailing, chisel and renovate the Tai Sui sector including the floor, ground, garden, and the walls inside and outside.

Don’t slam the door as sound waves can activate the Sha Qi. Make sure opening and closing the door slowly and gently.

To reduce the impact of the Tai Sui, place three lucky bamboos in a tall rectangular vase.

THE SAN SHA (Three-Killing) arrives at the South sector (Li Gua 離卦157.5-202.50 degree)

In the year of the Monkey 2016, the Li Gua or the South sector of your house and office has the San Sha Qi or the Three-killing Sha Qi.

In the large scale Feng Shui, it represents the south hemisphere. It represents south china and the countries at the south side of China.

The Three-killing represents lawsuits, gossips, arguments.

The Li Gua is the middle daughter area. So if there is a door way at the Li Gua (South sector) of the house and the area is activated, as the result, the middle daughter of the house will face some challenges.

Need to look after health related to heart, blood and eye issues. The San Sha will also bring hot temper to the middle daughter.

To reduce the effect of the San Sha, you can place a bucket filled with 80% full of clear water at the sector. Change the water once every 2 – 3 weeks. If the problem persists, you can add 6 ice cubes every Saturday

The Five Yellow #5 star lands at the Northeast. (Gen Gua. 艮卦)

The Five Yellow #5 is a bad Feng Shui annual star. It represents misfortune and obstacles. It comes to the Northeast sector the Gen Gua.

The Gen Gua is Earth element and is the youngest son. The Sha Qi can cause digestive issue for the youngest son. Particularly, the Northeast area has a door way or it is activated.

To minimize the bad effects of the Five Yellow #5 for your house and office, in the north east sector, place a rectangular ceramic vase with 3 luck bamboo in the vase. Use the straight bamboo.

You cannot change the main door position but you can move yourself away from the bad energy areas. You can move yourself to other sector if there is a spare room in your house.

THE ROMANCE STAR 9, MONEY STAR 8 AND POWER STAR 6

The annual star number #8 which means wealth and prosperity is located in the southwest in the year of the Monkey 2016. However, it is at the same sector as the Tai Sui. It is better not to use active object to activate it. If it were activated, you could make money, but you could also lose your health in the year of the monkey. Use a non-moving object such a ceramic sheep and place at the south southwest.

The annual star number #9 which means romance and happy events is at the East sector of your house. It is the Zhen Gua. The Zhen Gua is the elder son. So, if your door way or this sector is activated in 2016. It will bring happy events or romance to the elder son.

You can activate this east sector with an indoor pot plant about 1.3 metres tall. Or you can also place a green wooden rabbit there, or both.
If the east sector is a bedroom or spare area, it is a good idea to sleep or have more activities there. (Including such activities for young couples want to have baby in 2016)

The promotion annual star number #6 comes to the south sector of the house. However, it shares the same sector as the San Sha.
In comparison, the strength of San Sha is great than the #6. So it is good to leave the Li Gua as quiet as possible. A bucket of 80% full of clear water is recommended for reducing the Sha qi of the San Sha.

Sui Poh(歲破) and Wu Ji Sha戊己.

The Sui Poh is opposite to the Tai Sui sector. It is at 52.50-67.5 degree.
The Wu Ji Sha is at the 292.50-337.50 degree. It is in the Qian Gua sector.
In Sui Poh and the Wu Ji Sha areas “Move Earth” or Digging the areas is prohibited. The Sui Poh is also located in the Yearly Five yellow #5 Gen Gua area. The “Move-Earth” and digging in the area is prohibited anyway.

The above summed up some important areas for your house and office. As each house and office are different. If you are not sure what you are doing, you can always contact a Feng Shui consultant near you.

All the best and have prosperity and Lucky Feng Shui Year of the Monkey 2016!

Year of the Fire Monkey Prediction part 1 - Heaven Luck – by Edgar Lok Tin Yung – December, 2015

Yearly prediction should use the Jia zi (甲子) cycle (Sexagenary cycle) and look at three different levels using the elements of the Heavenly Stem and Earthly branch of the year.

These three levels are:

1. The Heaven Luck (predicts major issues of the world and weather).
2. The Earth Luck (Feng Shui for homes, offices, cities and countries.)
3. The Man Luck (predicts individual animal sign luck in the coming year)

No exception for the year of the Fire Monkey, I write an article for each of the above topics.

Hopefully, it can be useful information for you to make reference to for the year of the Fire Monkey 2016.

I wish you all the best and good luck for the year of the Fire Monkey 2016.

YEAR OF THE FIRE MONKEY PREDICTIONS – HEAVEN LUCK

Heaven Luck is to predict major world events, weather and natural disasters. So people can prepare for it. For example, people can increase their insurance premium in the areas where may affect them.

The energy of Heaven Luck kicks in when the Earth is passing the Winter Solstice, normally on the 21st or 22nd in December each year calculating from North hemisphere point of view. Let’s look at the characteristics of the Heavenly Stem (HS) and Earthly Branches (EB) in 2016 – The Year of the Fire Monkey.

The HS for 2016 is Yang Fire (丙).

The EB underneath is Shen (申). It is Metal element and it is represented by the animal sign Monkey.

The EB Shen (申) also has two hidden elements: Yang Water (壬) and Yang Earth (戊).

The way of arranging the HS & EB is top down. (Yang Fire on Metal or the Monkey. That is why it is called the Year of the Fire Monkey)

丙 (Yang Fire)
申 (Yang Metal with hidden Yang Water and Yang Earth)

The Melodic element is Fire.

The HS is the top level. The EB is the bottom level.

In Feng Shui, the annual Purple White flying star, the Number 2 flies to the centre. It is the Kun Gua.

Yang Fire represents: Fire in the Sky, the Sun, the lightening, on earth, it is Smelter, in human body: it is the heart, the eyes, the small intestine and the shoulders. It colour is red, pink and purple.

Monkey Metal Shen is: Metal objects, in human body, it is Large intestine, lung, bones, skin and respiratory system. Its colour is silver, gold and white.

With such combinations, we can see these issues in the year of the Fire Monkey 2016:

1. Overall, in the year of the Fire Monkey, the top level bullies the bottom level. (Fire controls Metal)

2. There will be more Fire related incidents in the year of the Fire Monkey. These incidents are bush fire, bombing, lightning, power failures, explosion, electrical accidents or burning down of a very prominent place or building. It looks like fire on a tall metal object, building or tower.

3. There will be food poisoning issues related to digestive system as the Kun Gua, sickness star flies to the centre. Yang fire represents small intestine and Shen (Monkey) represents large intestine.

4. Kun Gua is Earth and it relates to property. Property price will be shaken. (However, we are in Melbourne. As now it is in good Feng Shui period.) Please read another article Feng Shui of Melbourne.

5. Kun Gua is the mother Gua, so female will have more power or more women will be in power. (Aung San Suu Kyi, Hillary Clinton,)

6. Yang Fire element controls Metal element. Metal is finance, banking, stock market, precious metals. Beware in the Feb, May, August and November 2016.

7. In human body, Yang Fire element controls Metal element. We see issue with lung and respiratory system. It could be an outbreak of a pandemic disease from the south west, India or central Africa.

8. In element, the Yang Fire element controls Metal element. It shows that metal objects are burning or explosion. So, sea, land and air transportation may have more accidents.

9. Yang Fire also represents shoulders. Shoulders and Metal show a picture of weight lifting exercise. So, be careful while you are working out. In general we see more shoulder injuries or complain of frozen shoulders from the mothers (Kun Gua).

10. The monkey is the travelling star to the Tiger, Horse and Dog. Monkey and Tiger area clashes animals. This clash called road clash. So therefore, there will be more traffic incidents related to the air, sea and road.

11. Natural disasters bring thunderstorms, Fire in the Sky in the year of the Fire Monkey.

12. The flying star number 2 flies into the centre of the 9 palace in the year of the Fire Monkey, 2016. The number 2 annual star symbolizes sickness and health issue. Take care your health in year of the Monkey is your priority.

FIRE ELEMENT CONTROLS METAL ELEMENT

Be very careful in these months February, May, August, November in 2016 if you are speculating on the share market.

• February means early February to early March.
• May means early May to early June.
• August means early August to Early September and
• November means early November to December.

THE BENEFIT FROM THE YANG FIRE

The benefit of Yang fire is the entertainment and broadcasting industries. In 1956, several TV stations started boarding. 2016, sixty years later, there will be more Internet streaming services.

2016 AND 2017 “HILL SIDE FIRE”

“丙申丁酉山下火” The Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch combination produces a melodic element. The melodic element for 2016 is called “Hill side Fire”.
Again, from melodic element point of view, it shows 2016 will have more fire incidents. And it will be severe bush fire or around hill side areas.

ANNUAL FLYING STAR NUMBER 2

Year of the Monkey 2016, the annual Feng Shui flying star number 2 will be located in the centre palace. The number 2 is Earth element (Kun Gua). It shows female power up rising. It shows there may be an outbreak of a pandemic. It shows that property price will be shaken. It shows that digestive issue to children as the current Feng Shui period 8 and Gen Gua is youngest son.

Weather Rainfall in 2016 year of the Monkey

The year of the Monkey has 9 dragons producing water. Dragon is the Water storage. Each year the more the dragons produce water, the more rainfall it produces. Year of the Fire Monkey has 9 dragons out of 12 dragons producing water. We can see more rain. There may be major flooding in Melbourne in February 2016.
