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:
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 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.
With the above image and combinations, we can see the pertinent issues in the year of the Yin Metal Ox 2021. Let’s go through each point one by one:
The 辛 (Xin) is Yin Metal element. Yin Metal Xin is enhanced by the Earth Ox or Bull. Metal becomes strong. Metal also represents the share market. It looks like a bull market trend in 2021.
If you are in the Share market, please pay extra attention in these four months:
Be very careful in January, April, July and October in 2021. Due to the Solar and Lunar calculation difference, these are particularly cautious months. The specific periods to be aware are:
January means from early January to early February 2021.
April means from early April to early May 2021
July means early July to early August 2021.
October means early October to early January 2022
The Melodic element is “Wall Top Earth” (壁上土) for 2020, 2021. The Melodic element stays the same for every two years. The 2021 year remains a “Wall Top Earth” element year.
From melodic element point of view, “Wall Top Earth” relates to properties and physical buildings and what it controls (Water element). It shows 2020, 2021 will have more incidents of collapse of buildings, landslide and the drop of property price.
“Wall Top Earth” (壁上土), Earth element controls Water element of the year, There will be more accidents relates to the Water industry, logistics, shipping, airlines, pirates….. Such as industries still struggle in 2021 year of the Ox.
The annual Feng Shui flying star #6 will be returned into the centre palace in the year of the Ox 2021. It is the Qian Gua and it is Metal element too. It represents metal, finance, insurance, banking, and hospitals….It also represent powerful person, mature men, governments, leaders, the heads and its Chinese name is 武曲 “Wu Qu”. The centre palace is the centre stage of the world.
In 2021, we can see many matured age leaders of the world will demonstrate their military power.
In short, in 2021 year of the Ox, the yearly elements, the melodic element, the annual flying stars Qi are very different. It is the characteristics of the Storage in Feng Shui. It is a mixed bag year. In addition, with the setbacks of 2020, it will be hard to return to the same levels prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.
What we can do is to prepare ourselves, set up and activate the good yearly Feng Shui Qi for the house we live and office we work in. There are another two articles, the Earth Luck and Man Luck predictions, to address the Feng Shui of a location and personal fortune.
