So, the Water Snake year has just begun… accordingly to the 10K year calendar, it started at 12:31 am on February 4, 2013 (today), hence the above natal chart is established.

What do we see on this chart?  Very superficially, a very strong tall tree flourished in the Month Pillar with support from Heaven and Earth.  The Yang wood represents wealth in this chart.   Excellent news… money is in the air.  But is it for everybody?  You'll have to know your personal Bazi chart to find out. 

  Star 5 Yellow for the new Water Snake year is back to its original home taking the center stage.  As such, all other annual flying stars are also housed in their original palaces.  This simply signifies that the energy in each direction is pure and potent.

  After three weeks of traveling, and subsequent absence in this blog due to the preparation rituals of Christmas and year-end celebration, I cannot but swiftly begin this New Year by wishing you all and your loved ones a very Happy New Year.  May 2013 bring you more success, lots of happiness, peace, good health, and prosperity!

That being said, from a Feng Shui standpoint, please be reminded that the new Water Snake year will begin only on February 4, 2013. 

All the best.

   Geng Xu (庚戌 Metal Dog) Month (October 8 – November 6, 2012)

Do you feel that the energy is stagnated, your project does not evolve, things seem to slow down or come to a standstill?  These are a few examples of the effects of the repeated energy of the Water Dragon year and the Metal Dog month (see image).   The numbers in black are the Dragon year's flying stars while the numbers in red are Geng Xu month' flying stars. 

When the numbers are repeated as in the image, we call this a Fu Yin 伏 吟 chart which suggests possible mishaps, illnesses, and disputes especially when the stars are untimely. 

Do pay special attention to the north, southeast, northwest, and southwest sectors of your home, do not activate these sectors with frequent movements, activities, sound and light. 

Stay safe and may you be blessed.

  The characteristics of Earth is solid and firm like the Mother Earth in the picture.  The shape is square or rectangular.

The color is yellow, brown, or beige.  The compass direction is Southwest and Northeast; the season is between end of summer and beginning of autumn.  Numbers 2, 5, and 8 carry the Earth energy.  Righteousness is the virtue, worry is the sign of emotion.  Saturn is the planet associated to Earth element. 

In the Chinese horoscopes, Dragon, Goat, Dog, and Ox are four animals representing the Earth people.  Earth people are diplomatic, loyal, solid; they like to pay attention to details.   They are honest and trustworthy, but can be rather stubborn. 

Spleen and Stomach represent the yin and yang organs of our body.  The mouth is the sensory organ, and the touch is one of the five senses.

   The characteristic of Fire is warmth, radiating outward, and energetic.  The shape is triangular, and the colors are red, pink, purple, and orange.  The compass direction is South and the season is Summer.   Number 9 carries Fire energy.  Propriety is the virtue, and joy expresses the emotion.  Planet Mars is associated to the Fire element. 

Horse and Snake in the Chinese astrology represent the Fire people.  Fire people are passionate; they like pleasure and excitement, however, they dislike boredom.  They are extroverts, very communicative and intuitive. 

Heart is the yin organ while small intestine is the yang organ of our body.  The tongue is the sense organs and taste is our senses.  All these are related to the Fire element.
