2009 Feng Shui Handbook

2009 FENG SHUI HANDBOOK
Introduction to Feng Shui: This year, New Years Day is on January 26 (solar new year), while the actual year and the beginning of spring is on February 4 which is when the Chinese calendar starts. You have until before Feb. 4 to place your feng shui remedies and enhancers. The yearly Feng Shui determines which signs will be lucky and which wont be so lucky is based on the Flying Star Formula. This formula uses the 8 directions (North, South, East, West, NE, NW, SE and SW) and determines where each type of Star will fly to in a particular year. There are lucky stars (or that which brings good luck) and affliction stars (or that which brings bad luck) that fly to each of the 8 directions every year. The lucky stars are: the Auspicious Wealth Star, White or Victory Star, Multiplying or Expanding Star, Heaven Star and Romance Star. The affliction stars are: the Deadly 5 Yellow Star, Robbery Star, Argument Star, and Illness Star. Each astrological animal is associated with a particular direction or called its home direction (youll see this below) and each will be affected with the star that flew to that direction. For those with affliction stars in their charts, there are always remedies to be done to counter this. I put the remedies in my office, in each bedroom and in the living and dining room. In assessing your luck, remember that you are affected by the following directions: 1) your astrological signs home direction, 2) where your house is facing, 3) where your room is located in the house, 4) where you face while working, 5) where your head points while youre sleeping, and 6) direction of your position in family if father of a family (Patriarch), the mother (Matriarch), eldest son, etc. Be watchful of the directions that pertain to you and your position in the family. So check your directions so you know exactly whats in store for you. Each direction will need a particular type of energy to either activate the star of that direction or suppress the star there. These energies are earth, wood, metal, fire or water. The details on what is considered each type of energy are found below. 2008 Review: The year of the Earth Rat was ruled by the White Star. There should have been success, wealth, career advancement and recognition for most of us, particularly for the Rabbit, Dragon and Boar. It should have been great for those who got married, and those who started new businesses and ventures. 2009 Feng Shui: 2009 Year of the Earth Ox promises to be a year of peace, harmony and a auspicious wave of success, prosperity and growth luck for everyone as the year is ruled by the number 9 which is the Completion or Future Prosperity Star. There will be a good

start and good ending to the year. As the year connotes luck in future prosperity, if you enhance your luck this year, there is a great chance that your wealth level will increase significantly. The seeds for building future prosperity can be sown this year by creative and courageous people, but it can get you exhausted. To counter this, place Fire energy in the center of the house and office. The luckiest this year is the Rooster and the Horse! The next lucky ones are the Dragon, Snake, Dog and Boar. QUICK INFO AND TIPS FOR THIS YEAR: (If you want to do feng shui to your home or office, this should be done before Feb. 4!!) New Yang energy is needed to bring good fortune to the home in other words, wake up the energy of the house! Move stuff around, bring in some light, etc. Spring cleaning! You really need to do this! Move furniture a few inches from its place, clean the dirt around it and put back. This will awaken the energies of the house and of each room. Dont just clean around the furniture. You need to do your spring cleaning before putting the Feng Shui-ing the place Better yet, create new arrangement of furniture to face your best directions as according to your Pa Kua number which is based on your birth year and gender. (Youll see it under each sign and if its not there, I can compute your pa kua number and give you your directions!) During the month of Feb, open doors and windows daily early in the morning to suck in fresh air You can use cleansing rituals (ex. using bells, singing bowls and incense) to clean the energy. I use Sandalwood incense and go around each room 3 times clockwise. Note that I do this after spring cleaning. The number 8 is a very lucky number from 2004-2024. In 2009, the number 9 adds to luck of the lucky number 8. IMPT: In 2009, the most auspicious direction is South East. It has the Auspicious Wealth Star bringing prosperity, career luck and happiness. Use this direction as much as possible. Activate with a water feature, wood energy and bright lights. Other lucky directions: South, South West and North West DONT face North, North East and East all this year! Place feng shui remedies and accelerators before Feb. 4, particularly, make sure your Five Element Pagoda is in place by then! Its important to have the purpose of Feng Shui in mind while putting the symbol or energy in its place. For this year, enhance Wood energy surround yourself with the color green as well as plants. The lucky color to wear is Purple Make use of the precious stone Jade which provides the bridge that channels heaven luck. Focus on the number 9 display things in nine or multiples of 9 such as a 9-rod windchime or having 9 fish in your aquarium Remember that even if the stars say youre not so lucky this year, there are always remedies to counter the unlucky stars.

For education, use your personal growth direction unless its afflicted this year. If Husband and Wife have different lucky directions, follow the lucky direction of the bread-winner. Be charitable! Donate to Unicef, a seminary or convent, or your local church to get an influx of luck! The secret of getting the most of the year is to tap the South East and avoid the North. BEST DIRECTIONS BASED ON YOUR PA KUA NUMBER: Everyone has their best and worse directions. This is based on the year of birth and gender which gets your Pa Kua number. You can get your Pa Kua number at www.wofs.com. Everyone has the general best directions (1st to 4th best) and each good direction directly affects an aspect whether for wealth, health, love and personal growth. For business, sit facing your wealth direction. For sleeping, point your head while in bed facing your health The Health direction is the best direction to while sleeping, unless that direction is afflicted for that particular year. However, these generally good directions have to be compared to the Flying Star Chart every year to see if that direction is lucky for that specific year. See below for an example: Bad directions follow the same rule. Generally, dont stay or face those directions. BUT, if the flying charts indicate a change of luck there for a particular year, you can tap and face that direction for that year. So, for houses, its best not to live in a room that is inherently bad for you as it will only be a good year IF an auspicious star flies to that bad direction. Under each astrological sign below, I placed the directions to face according to priority. EXAMPLE: Below is a full explanation of how our generally good directions could change in a particular year. Dont worry Ox ladies, a simpler lay-out is provided later. For OX LADIES (Feb. 3, 1973 Jan 22, 1974): Generally - Best Directions: W (Wealth and Success), NE (Health), SW (Love), NW (Growth). Our bad directions (from worst to best) are: S (Total Loss), N (6 types of misfortunes), E (presence of troublemakers. A victim of gossip), SE (mild bad luck. Irritations and delay in projects). Look below how it applies for 2009: West is normally the best direction because it is the direction for Wealth and Success, BUT for 2009, the West is afflicted with the Illness Star. Do not face here this year. Our 2nd best direction is usually North East which is also for Health, therefore the best position to sleep in, BUT for 2009, it is afflicted with the Argument Star. Better to stay away for this direction all together. Our 3rd best direction is usually South West which is also for Love. It is the best direction for this year as it also has the Heaven Star. This is the best direction for the year!
Page 3
Our 4th best direction is usually North West which is also for Personal Growth and which is good for 2009 as it has the White Star. This is the 2nd best direction for the year! For 2009 only, our 3rd best direction is South East because of the Auspicious Wealth Star. It is also the direction of our ally, the Snake, so this will be beneficial to us. For 2009 only, our 4th best direction is South which houses the Romance Star.
ELEMENT SYMBOLS FOR THE ENERGIES: You will see below that I will ask you put a certain type of energy in each direction. Use the info below to know what to put as a symbol of that energy. Youll notice the symbols are common sense. :D Make sure the objects or pictures you use dont symbolize loneliness, death, darkness, hatred, war, etc. or anything negative Water Energy You can use an aquarium, a fish bowl, a pond, a fountain, or a waterfall (that flows towards the house and not out the door). The waters should be kept moving with fish, turtles or pumps. I also use ornaments or objects with a picture of or in the image of a fish; anything blue or black in color; or paintings or pictures with water or remind me of water (like abstract paintings). Earth Energy Use crystals (quartz, amethyst, jade, etc.), earthen or glass vases, paintings of pots or a brick house. You can also use a globe, a map or anything made with glass or brown or orange in color. Wood Energy Use lush and healthy plants or paintings/pictures/images of flowers, trees, and wooden houses. Young broad-leaved plants are ideal and flowering plants represent the blossoming of your projects. I also use paintings of birds since it reminds me of trees and anything wooden or green in color. Fire Energy Use bright lights, candles, or anything red in color. You can also use an image of the sun. Metal Energy Use all-metal wind chimes (better with 6 hallow rods), metal vases, statues, picture frames, bowls, or coins. You can also your computer or stereo equipment, or use anything white, silver or gold in color. DIRECTIONS/ SECTORS OF THE HOUSE OR OFFICE: This part states what each sector affects, what star has flown to that sector and the remedies and accelerators to place. Note that every direction affects an astrological sign which is stated in parenthesis. Know the direction that affects you and make sure that your sector in the house and office is clean, uncluttered and well-lit. Example, dont make it a dumping ground of xmas gifts you wish you didnt receive Place the remedies/accelerators indicated in every sector (even if it doesnt affect your sign). Placing them in a bedroom or office affects only the person staying there, while placing it in the living room or common part of the office will affect everyone

When looking for directions, use a compass to detect the different directions and locations to energize the directions accdg. to the details below. Dont use the sunrise or sunset as basis. CENTER (as in center of the bedroom/living room/office) Completion Star, Multiplying Star or Future Prosperity Star which brings completion luck to any project waiting to be finished and benefits those starting new ventures. Prosperity, happy events, promotion luck, investment luck. Place of the middle son Put fire energy and wood energy NORTH (Rat) Generates Career and Wealth Luck. In 2009 - For Five Yellow Star brings severe illness, distress and misfortune. The Star is very strong this year, so 3 cures are recommended to be used together or singly depending on the size of the house or office: a) five element pagoda placed on a table, b) five element big bell (8-12 inches high) strike the bell at least once a day and more often if residents are going through a hard time, and c) a ritual which can be found in the Lilian Too book Dont face or point your head facing North and dont use the North door of your house Place other metal energy here Keep this area dim and quiet. Do not renovate Northern part of the house NORTHEAST (Ox and Tiger) Creates Education Luck (excellent examination results, scholastic honors, and even scholarships) In 2009 Argument Star which is associated with arguments, fights, misunderstandings and court cases, but with Tai Sui or God of the Year Put fire energy here like all kinds of lights and the color red Remove all water AND wood energy here (like plants) Place a Pi Yao made of earth or jade here Do not renovate this part of the house, keep area dim and quiet Remove metal wind chimes (yang metal) from this part. Only place yin metal energy For oxen, place yin metal energy here also EAST (Rabbit) Brings Good Health, longevity and descendants luck. It also creates luck that is conducive to the accumulation of wealth assets for the family. It is the location of the Eldest son The East is the ideal part of any home for the bedrooms of the sons of the family 2009 Robbery or Violence Star with the Three Killings, but with the Star of Great Strength and Star of Strong Energy.

The best remedy is to place a large water feature in the East. You can also display a double horned rhino or water energy Place 9 elephants (with trunks up) or rhinos for added prosperity Place the 3 celestial protectors the Chi Lin, the Fu Dog and the Pi Yao facing East Keep all doors and windows closed during the afternoon hours
SOUTHEAST (Dragon and Snake) Generates income and prosperity (not family net worth) In 2009 Auspicious Wealth Star with Star of Big Opportunity Place water energy here.

It is the direction associated with the Matriarch In 2009 Heaven Star which brings windfall luck with Heaven Seal (celestial blessings) and Star of Resting (residents in SW part can do well in 2009 without having to put in much effort). It also brings promotion and mentor luck Put water energy. Better, put a large water feature or an urn of water or fish bowl. Place bright lights WEST (Rooster) Protects Family Luck. It is designated as the space where happiness arises as a result of a happy family. When W is energized or protected, the family stays together and remains healthy and strong. All the older members of the family will live a long life. Both patriarch and the matriarch, whose luck resides on both sides of the W (NW and NE) will enjoy increasing happiness and good fortune through the passing years. 2009 Illness Star but it has the luck star called the Golden Diety.

If you were born mid-Jan to mid-Feb, you have to check if you are considered under the animal of that year or the year before. For birth dates, it is based on the lunar calendar, so check if you born before or after Chinese New Year. You can check on www.wofs.com. To enhance or control the stars of your astrological sign, look at the direction/sector of the house pertaining to your sign. Rat (1960, 1972) Dynamic and vivacious. Image conscious. Can be moody. Craves security. Thrives on praise. Wants to be liked/accepted. Social standing is important. Rats astrological compass direction is North. 2008 Heaven Star with the Grand Duke This indirect wealth star brings speculative and windfall luck as well as power and authority luck. 2009 Five Yellow Star The star of misfortune Despite the fact that you have the Five Yellow Star in your chart, your good fortune will continue from last year. There will be however obstacles and underlying problems that will cause irritation, anger and intolerance to arise. You are blessed with truly excellent staying power and a cleverness that helps you work your way around problems. The good news is that despite energy levels being sapped, it does not distract too much from the joy de vivre that makes your sign so lovable and attractive to others. If you use feng shui remedies for the Five Yellow Star, this year should bring some seriously promising signs of good success. Because you are compatible with the Ox, during this Ox year, you are potentially a fireball of activity. You have the ability to rise above adversities and this enhances your confidence, making you nice to have around. In 2009, you are popular with colleagues and friends. There is a forthrightness in the way you tackle problems and a fresh creativity in the way you approach your work. Because of the energy of the Ox year, you are positive and sociable this year. Make the effort to keep going like this and you will have a great year. Lady Rat is an efficient lady and this year her mothering skills are at their best despite inner worries. There is great resilience and fortitude in her character but just as there are challenges ahead of her, there are also many moments of triumph and success. She will be very alert to money-making opportunities this year and despite the affliction of the Five Yellow, there are invisible forces helping her success at what she starts. The 37 year old lady rat will discover that
Page 7
2009 benefits them in terms of succeeding what they set out to do, although financially it may not be the year to make it big. But significant success awaits those who follow through on their instincts. It is advisable to overcome the urge to give up due to initial obstacles because there are indications that whatever you begin this year will stabilize and bring you huge satisfaction in future years. Money-wise, this year favors the lady rat born in 1960 who will enjoy superlative financial and success luck. The only problem facing her is possible hidden conflicts and mental confusions. Stay positive and upbeat and inner doubts will be laid to rest. Gentleman Rat The affliction of 2009 will force him to use his head as well as his trained skills to get round problems but hes lucky in that this is a year when the overall chi energy tends to work in his favor. Older Rat born guys are advised to keep busy and stay active as this will help subdue a tendency towards feeling depressed. Physically you enjoy good health. It is your mental state and inner feelings you should work at. Stay positive and let your natural exuberance and good humor prevail. Rat Gentlemen who are in the prime of their career have good things to look forward to this year. There is good promotion luck. This is a year when you are creative and clever, so luck is on your side. As long as you watch your loose tongue and do not allow any negativity to influence what you say and how you act towards others in the work arena, you should do really well. Your potentially worst enemy this year is your tendency to be too candid in your view of others especially of colleagues. Keep whatever negative opinions you may have to yourself and refrain from criticizing others. For the 73 year old Rat, there is excellent success and health luck. However, it important for the 73 year old to perform some good deed related to saving animals or donating to a good charitable foundation. For the 37 year old Rat, 2009 brings maximum success luck. But s/he needs to watch the financial outgoings and take care to not succumb to the tendency to invest and spend without thinking. There is real danger of making some big mistakes that lead to financial loss. Economically, your luck is very unstable this year. To safeguard yourself from too much loss, you should perform some charity. Make donations to temples and give money to feed the poor. To create better wealth luck, place a water feature in the Northern part of the house but not in the bedroom. You could also place metal energy here but water energy is stronger. (If youre serious about improving wealth luck, get Lilian Toos Rat book and do the ritual on page 60.) The good news is that even though money luck may be lacking in 2009, career and work luck are at their peak. This year you will gain the respect of peers and co-workers and reach an influential position where you are highly respected. To avoid the Five Yellow Star, display a Five Element Pagoda in the Northern part of your bedroom or if its a big one, in the Northern part of house. If you dont want to get the pagoda, then put any metal energy here. You should also hang a mantra protection plaque in the North high above doorways and entrances. Carry a symbol of the Monkey or Dragon in order to benefit from your allies good fortune in 2009. Enhance the SE part of your house with whats written in this handbook. There are lots of lucky months while the only two unlucky months are July and October 1st month (Feb 4-March 5) Youre a Winner this Month 2nd month (Mar 6-Apr 4) Laying Strong Foundation

Wear the colors white, silver and metallic colors. Wearing lots of bling would be excellent. This will protect you from the Five Yellow Star.

Wealth Star 4th best: South only for 2009. Romance Star Ox (1961, 1973) Quiet, conservative and strong. Makes a good leader. Firm convictions. Not easily swayed. Self disciplined. Big Picture people. Can be ruthless and unforgiving. The Oxs astrological compass direction is Northeast 1. 2008 Romance Star with the Golden Deity 2008 brings many romance opportunities as well as good scholastic luck. There is additional wealth luck because of the Golden Deity 2009 Argument Star with the Tai Sui The Ox falls victim to the angry star and tends to be testy and growling. This brings impatience and low thresholds of tolerance. People annoy and irritate you too easily, sometimes for no apparent reason. You lose your cool and this blocks success luck. Do control your temper to enjoy better luck. But the year brings
Page 9
some vital support (that of the Tai Sui) who lends a helping hand. You can look forward to some small successes during the year. The year at best is lukewarm. However, those who buckle down to work and stay cool will benefit from 2009s great promise. What is needed is greater tolerance and patience. The Ox can be quite tireless when pursuing a cherished dream and this determination is very evident in 2009. This is a year when your energy level is strong so those of you with a clear goal and a well thought out agenda will prevail, but not without having to fight strenuously and hard. It is a year when hard work is called for. Unfortunately, there is a tendency to be stubborn, dogmatic and impatient with other peoples viewpoints. The Ox is normally calm, almost always logical and even fair minded, so these are characteristics they should fall back on to take advantage of the years opportunities. Leave room for the alternative viewpoint and do not be too hasty in your judgments. Work consciously at staying cool and fall back on your sense of systematic organization if you have to. Better to be boring than difficult in 2009. Many people admire you for your dedication, your vision and your ideals. So better to let others sing your praises than to do it yourself. You have never been the insecure type so misunderstandings should not affect your confidence. The 36 and 48 year old Oxen are not short on success luck. Just do not expect this to be a spectacular year. You achieve what you set out to do but you do not satisfy your own high standards. Your personality is not an especially endearing persona this year. Make the effort to loosen up. Laugh! There is excellent news for the 48 year Ox as your financial luck is excellent this year and the year gives you good energy. Lady Ox What is quite outstanding about the female Ox is not just her ability to get things done but also the way she tackles her responsibilities. She is neither a whiner nor a complainer. What causes her ire is irresponsibility. She simply cannot and will not tolerate those who promise and do not deliver and people who cannot be relied upon annoy and irritate her. In 2009, it is her misfortune to meet up with more than her fair share of laggards. She thus finds it hard to keep her cool, but she will also have a short fuse allowing even the most petty transgressions on the part of others irritate her. The 36 year old Ox enjoys moderate success but has to worry because of financial instability. The 36 year old however enjoys the benefit from the years intrinsic energy being in sync with the chi of the year. The power of 9 brings unseen strength to their efforts. Success lucks goes from good to better. As for the 48 year old Ox, she will have the best year, enjoying a financial bonanza and having great health but has to watch out for spiritual obstacles. To avoid this, wear a crucifix. Gentleman Ox will be particularly grouchy this year, nursing past grievances, complaining and demanding explanations from colleagues and employees. Ox guys are not easy to deal in 2009. He is insensitive to other peoples feelings and touchy about imagined slights and insults. He will bury his misery in his work and try to dissipate the tensions tearing him apart by pushing himself hard. It benefits him to shrug off past hurts so he does not get too riled up. An Ox in temper is a sight to behold! Good thing he has a long fuse and if feng shui cures are put into place, the affliction of the year will not affect him too excessively. Ox men will find that the year favors those who do not respond to aggravating circumstances. The 36 year old has to face money problems while the 48 year old enjoys some pretty excellent luck at work financially and in terms of getting recognition.
Page 10
The 48 year old Ox experiences an exceptional year with good success and outstanding financial luck and great physical health luck. However, there could be some negative energies and niggling doubts which will keep you up at night. To counter this, try being charitable to some good cause and soften your personality. The year threatens to be a noisy one for the Ox. While generally calm, this year they could occasionally act out of character and fly off the handle. Those not used to this side of the Ox personality could be in for a rude awakening. Calming activities such as yoga and meditation would greatly benefit the Ox this year. Relationships both professional and personal get strained because of your volatile personality. Try not to make enemies in the heat of the moment. Some of your words can be caustic, and some things said cannot be unsaid. Dont act on impulse. In every situation, make it a habit to give yourself thinking time before acting. To improve your luck, place a water feature in the SE and immediately donate to some good cause. Also, place yin metal like auspicious objects in brass (yinnothing noisy or with movement) in the NE to subdue the Argument Star. No windchimes in the NE. Also, remove all plants in NE corner and add fire energy here. For luck, carry or display a symbol of the Snake or Rooster (snake is luckier). In choosing partners, choose those who are Snakes, Roosters or Rats.

Emotional with extreme attitudes. The Tigers astrological compass direction is Northeast 3. 2008 - Romance Star with Small Auspicious Star 2009 Argument Star with Robbery 2009 is an average year for you although your personalized luck depends also on the kind of Tiger you are. The biggest challenge you face will be controlling your temper. Frustrating squabbles that shouldnt happen do, and misunderstandings can get blown out of proportion. There is a possible threat of robbery or being cheated, so double check your doors as well as all contracts to be signed. Use a blue rhino or an elephant with its trunk up to prevent robbery. The Tiger person will have great strength in 2009 which will be a year when things go smoothly if you keep your cool. In 2009, the Tiger person benefits from an inner determination and fortitude which will help you make the most of opportunities that open up for you. The main obstacle during the year is the influence of the nasty number 3 star which can bring litigation, court cases and aggravating encounters. There are sure to be misunderstandings and quarrels which cause problems to your sense of well-being. However, you are blessed with excellent staying power and steely nerves. It is a mixed bag of luck expectations that face the different Tigers, but all of you must make it a point to keep your cool and respond to aggravations with patience and humor. The sign of the Tiger carries some magnificent connotations in Chinese horoscope lore. It is believed that simply being a Tiger offers automatic protection against bad people such as thieves, cheats and evil minded people. Tigers possess intrinsic amulets in their being! Alas in 2009, the Tiger does have a very short fuse, easy to take offense and rather hard to please. Impatience seems to be the order of the day so the ferocious side of the Tiger personality is more on show than the soft side. The affliction of the Argument Star hits the Tiger hard and it is advisable to use strong feng shui remedies to contain the tendency to hostility and temper tantrums. But there is saving grace and this is the Tigers wonderful sense of humor which shows through later in the year when things move smoothly and career advancement open new avenues. This boosts the Tigers confidence bringing forth an optimism that makes up for an underlying hostility of attitude. Career conscious Tigers must refrain from impulsive behaviors and those in the prime of their career must take their ambitions seriously if they want to advance up the ladder of success. They need to keep an
Page 12
eye out for the main chance and rely more on strategic thinking than on intuition if avenues for advancement are to be maximized. In 2009, the Tigers will benefit if he/she acts true to form and rises above temporary disappointments, not allowing setbacks to get him/her down. Dont give up, especially in July a particularly stressful month. Take heart from the fact that the latter half of the year is much better than the first half.

Page 24
does she waste time making things happen. In 2009, the years luck outlook suits her fine as she grabs all thats exciting coming her way with plenty of panache and enthusiasm. The year favors the 29 year old woman who should go bravely forth for whatever is being dangled in front of her. She only needs to watch that she does not do anything to compromise her health. The 65 year old simply can do no wrong in 2009 so she should really go for whatever crops up for her. It is likely that whatever comes her way will be a surprise of sorts because of the heaven luck. The Chinese believe that when heaven luck favors your sign, you must not waste the opportunity, so remember to welcome the year with eagerness and a positive mind set.

As a result, there is smooth sailing through the year with few obstacles to block your success and triumphant moments. There is increase in wealth and experience of success and for mature Roosters, 2009 promises to bring fresh new opportunities. The only blight on the horizon is the presence of the Illness Star in your chart causing annoying health issues to materialize. It also makes you vulnerable to contracting viruses and bugs that show down your energy. Place the remedies in the West part of the home as indicated in this handbook. But because of the high vitality factor, the Rooster will be less critical in 2009 as a result, s/he will be more effective in getting things done. The Rooster will have plenty of travel especially during the early part of the year. As long as you take care of your health, you will be able to attain heights of productivity and good results. Lady Rooster is direct and forthright, self assured and domineering, possessed of a great discipline when responsible for whatever comes under her care. This ladys tendency to be vocal in her opinions can also grate on some nerves and when she is on a high like she is in 2009, it can be a source of resentment to those working alongside her. The 40 year old woman is the one to watch as she is poised for growth and is already well placed to rise into a high profile leadership position.

Gentleman Rooster is a guy who carries himself extremely well and with great dress sense and sartorial elegance. In 2009, the proud and vain Rooster man will preen himself even more, as he will be going through a strong year. He should however be forgiven for his vanity because he is so much of an achiever this year, delivering on whatever promises he makes. All through 2009, he will easily maintain his air of confidence and dignity. The years vitality will see the Rooster take off from the very first month of the New Year. His stamina and staying power will amaze those who work with him, and he will be especially good with the management of money during the year. The only danger for the Rooster is his tendency to be a know-it-all sort of person. It would be wise to have some humility to the excellent advice he gives. This will make what he says a lot more palatable. Rooster Men in the prime of their career have great things to look forward to this year. For the 40 year old, there is sure to be upward mobility, the kind that might require change of location but it is sure to bring extra money as well as extra responsibilities.

You can expect some kind of development which might surprise you as it will come suddenly and without warning. It could cause you to have to change your lifestyle or even relocate but the decision will be yours to make.

Dog (1970, 1982) Playful. Sporty and energetic. Can be extreme. A good worker. Risk averse. Can be pessimistic. Makes a good friend. Fears rejection. The Dogs astrological compass direction is Northwest 1. 2008 Illness Star with Small Luck 2009 - White Star with Prosperity Luck Star Boar (1971, 1983) Compassionate and affectionate. Usually popular among friends. Good at PR. Romantic. Can be petty and competitive. Non-aggressive The Boars astrological compass direction is Northwest 3. 2008 Illness Star with Heaven Seal While you may have physical ailments and illness, you do have the presence of the auspicious Heaven Seal which brings amazing good fortune in the form of something totally unexpected. 2009 White or Victory Star with Small Luck Star but with Yearly Conflict Star The Boar will feel a lack of vitality in 2009 so it is important to strengthen yourself, physically as well as mentally to ensure you are able to enjoy the really excellent cosmic energy of the Ox year. The 38 year old Boar benefits from superb financial luck, but success for you and for all Boards will be an uphill battle. The problem is a serious absence of motivation caused by a strange listlessness. Remedy this listlessness by initiating interesting endeavors into your life. Actively go in search of friends who stimulate you and get you excited. Make a real effort to be upbeat and find ways to get your adrenaline flowing; this will help you jazz up your response to the years opportunities. It will also help you cope with whatever hindrances block your way. The Boars energy levels may be low but the year brings some triumphant moments. For those in business, you could feel rather stressed out, so it benefits you to take time off to block out the stress and the exhaustion. You will find that while the year may not be terribly auspicious for you, still, it is a time when you will succeed in forming long lasting friendships with people who eventually in later years come to mean a great deal to you. Lady Boar will appear to lose steam this year, lacking motivation and energy to socialize or party as she will feel at odds with the energy of the year. This is a year when organized thinking and mental clarity serves up success luck, but the Boar woman prefers to go by her instincts. As a result, she will find it hard to accept that she needs to be a little more disciplined with the way she thinks and works. She cannot afford to go by instincts and hunches alone. In the office, there are unhelpful people and colleagues tend to be uncooperative. There is a news to be extra watchful. The 62 year old feels better than many of her Boar siblings, while the 50 year old has to cope with problems at the work place. The 38 year old goes through an excellent year financially while the 26 year old needs to depend on her own skill and talents to see her through the year. Gentleman Boar needs to tread carefully in 2009 and be alert to the possibility of there being difficulties and obstacles cropping up at work. The problems will come from two dimensions; one is a tendency towards carelessness causing small mistakes to balloon into seemingly big problems and two is the presence of potential troublemakers competitive colleagues or rivals causing unnecessary hindrances. The 62 year old will feel more energized than other Boars and the
Page 29
year will bring him new interests as well as meaning travel. The 50 year old must watch his back especially at the office where there are rivals who create problems for you. The 38 year old enjoys a very good year financially, while the 26 year old is short on luck and will have to create some of his own. The 38 year old Boar has an extreme chart. The year brings a financial bonanza that brings an increase to your net worth, but your energy level is low, your health is not so good and you success luck in achieving what you set out to do is disappointing. You are definitely more into work than family especially in 009 when you will be focusing most of your attention on your working life. But this Boar, clever as you are, you do have a tendency to underestimate your rivals. When you work, you almost always ignore the competition so that when they perform better than you, they always catch you by surprise. You tend to be very subjective in the way you judge people. Sometimes you get your reading so wrong that the outcome can be quite harmful. You must take care not to be too quick to jump to conclusions as you might get them wrong. You will also benefit from living in a greater sense of awareness. You will feel exhausted most of the time so it is advisable to enjoy your financial success and forget about the competition while laughing all the way to the bank. The 26 year old Boar may have some disappointing expectations for the coming year unless feng shui remedies are placed. Apart from having a reasonably strong constitution which benefits your health, you will have to contend with low chi energy levels which have the effect of causing you to feel depressed and low. It is a year when there is danger to your self esteem as well as threats to your work stability. Be careful, observant and alert as people may politic against you at work. You prefer the soft life and have a tendency to shy away from challenges. It is not that you are fearful, only that you prefer to walk away from confrontations. As you lack the energy this year, perhaps this is a good response. The coming year is neither very good nor very bad for the Boar but what you need to watch are you energy levels. You may be feeling physically weak or mentally exhausted so try not to have too much on your plate. Stress is your number one enemy this year so try not to get yourself cornered into a situation or set-up that will cause you unnecessary levels of stress. Watch for high blood pressure and other health indications. If you feel unwell this year, it is better to get it checked out. Career-wise there will be some opportunities but you may find yourself having to work harder than your peers to get to the same place. Stop comparing yourself to others and youll find yourself a lot happier. Note that your energy and confidence levels are not in top form so you will have to compensate for the low level of enthusiasm. In making the best of this years opportunities, you should also realize that you will tend towards pessimism so do not be surprised at your own reluctance to take any new possibilities further. It is however advisable not to miss out. 1st month (Feb 4-March 5) A great start to the year 2nd month (Mar 6-Apr 4) Obstacles may arise out of the blue 3rd month (Apr 5- May 5) Your charm gets you everywhere this month 4th month (May 6-June 5) Misunderstandings & Quarrels get you down 5th month (June 6-July 6) Energy levels are flagging 6th month (July 7-Aug 7) New Beginnings bring a smile to your face 7th month (Aug 8-Sept 7) A busy month with lots to get done
