Introduction

For yearly predictions, most Feng Shui Masters use Start-of-Spring time to construct a Bazi or Four Pillars Chart to prediction the incoming year’s events. However, different Feng Shui Masters use different methods. 

In our lineage, we are taught to use the JiaZi (甲子) cycle or sexagenary cycle, also known as the Stems-and-Branches system. It is a cycle of sixty terms used for reckoning time.

For a comprehensive analysis of the yearly predictions, a Feng Shui Master should look at three different areas or levels. These are the Heaven Luck, the Earth Luck, and the Man luck separately. For the upcoming Lunar calendar of the Ox 2021 year, we will use the elements of the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch.  Each element has a specific purpose, for example: 

  1. The Heaven Luck predicts major issues of the world and weather. (Act of God)
  2. The Earth Luck is about managing the Feng Shui or yearly energy for homes, offices, cities and countries.
  3. The Man Luck Predicts individual animal sign luck for the coming year.

Yearly predictions can be useful information for someone to make excellent decisions in the year of the Yin Metal Ox 2021.

The year of the Yin Metal Ox officially starts on the 3rd February 2021. However, the Heaven energy surfaces from the winter solstice. This year, it is on the 21st of December 2020. (Normally falls on the 22nd Dec each year)

I wish you all have an excellent year of the Yin Metal Ox 2021.

HEAVEN LUCK IN THE YEAR OF THE YIN METAL OX 2021

Heaven Luck is to predict major world events, weather and natural disasters or Act of God. Many Feng Shui Masters use this element for guidance and to assist to prepare for the year ahead. For example, people can use the Heaven Luck predictions to increase their insurance premium in their affect areas.

To begin, you need to take the Elements of the Heavenly Stem and the Earthly Branches.

The Heavenly Stem for 2021 is Xin (辛). Xin is Yin Metal element.

The Earthly Branch is Chou (丑). Chou is Earth element with Water and Metal Elements below it. 

We also know the Chou as the Metal Storage.

The Chou is represented by the animal sign Ox. That is why it is called the Year of the OX. 

To be exact, the Stem and Branch in 2021 add up together to compose the year of Yin Metal Earth Ox.  Or simply, it is a Yin Metal element and Earth element year.

The classical Feng Shui way of arranging the Heavenly Stem (HS) & Earthly Branch (EB), is placing the HS on top of EB. 

辛 (Xin)  is Yin Metal

丑 (Chou) is Earth with Water and Metal elements below the Earth element.

The Melodic element for 2021 is Earth. (庚子辛丑璧上土). It is property, land and Earth related,

In Feng Shui, the annual Purple White Flying Star, the Number #6 star flies to the Centre. The number 6 is the Qian (乾) Gua. Centre of the palace is showing the most eye-catching issue.

6 is the Qian Gua. It is Metal element. It represents metal, finance, insurance, banking, Father like person (elderly man), Power, Government….

Yin Metal Xin (辛) represents Yin Metal, soft Metal, small knife, jewelleries, small metal objects, bullets, needles, scissors, pad locks, law, Justices. 

In the human body, Xin (辛) represents the lung, nose, respiratory systems, hips, teeth and bone.

Chou丑 its element is Earth, with Water and Metal below it. The animal sign for Chou (丑) is Ox. It is wet Earth, mud, and water with soil, marsh, dam, and bridge over water, tomb, and goldmine.

Body parts are Belly, stomach and Spleen.  And the Ox is the Liver Meridian path in our body in Chinese Medicine.

Using the above information, we can begin to piece together a collage that represents the year of the Yin Metal Earth Ox.
