Annual Forecast & Feng Shui Remedies for 2007 : Yin Red Fire Pig Year - Ox Sign (Chinese Zodiac)

The Chinese Zodiac Astrology is ancient, interesting, accurate and loved by millions across the world. The Chinese Zodiac is based on cyclic concept of time : a cycle of 12 years, repeated again and again. The 12 Years are associated with 12 Celestial Animals : Rat (or Mouse on Mongoose), Ox (or Buffalo or Bull or Cow), Tiger, Rabbit (or Hare or Cat), Dragon, Snake (or Serpent), Horse, Goat (or Sheep or Ram), Monkey, Rooster (or Hen or Cock or Chicken or Phoenix), Dog and Pig (or Boar or Hog). The animal names occasionally differ with the Oriental Country they originate. The Chinese Yearly Horoscopes are basically built around these 12 Animal Signs.

Your Chinese Astrological Zodiac Animal Sign is directly based on the Chinese Lunar Year of Birth that you were born. The Chinese New Year is mobile and could start anywhere between 21st January and 20th February, depending upon the year. If your Date of Birth falls into any of the following Chinese Lunar Years, then, because you are born in the Year of the Ox (or Buffalo or Bull or Cow), you are symbolically identified by your Celestial Animal, the "Ox (or Buffalo or Bull or Cow)" :

Enjoy the Annual Forecasts and learn about the suggested Feng Shui & Crystal Remedies that you may need for the coming "New Lunar Year 2007 : Ding Hai, the Year of the Yin Red Fire Pig" :

CAREER An year of fluctuating Career. If you can use your skills well, get used to long and heavy workloads, take the support of others than tread an independent path, refuse to get into arguments and ignore provocative rumours, then you will make progress. When opportunities present themselves - and they will, because of your groundwork of 2006 - shed your negativity and take the initiative, you have to harness the energy to transform the opportunities to success. Ignore provocations but do not hesitate to defend yourself, if need be. Do not take sides in office politics, but preserve neutrality. Avoid getting involved in gossips. If you have a female superior, avoid confrontation at all costs. Foreign trips are possible for some of you. Not right time for switching jobs or seeking internal transfers or for migration. Keep a set of 3 Qing Dynasty Coins (square coins with square hole in the center) with you for general luck - you need it. Creative Artists will excel. Business persons are warned against fruitless expansions. Employ only talented and trustworthy persons. Install the statue of QuiYong riding Pig or carry a set of 3 QuiYong Coins. If you are a shop-keeper, do not get into arguments with female customers, but allow them to have their say. If you are a doctor or surgeon or dealing with medicines and medical instruments, you will do well.

MONEY A reasonably good year as far as finances are concerned. By planning and shifting your money deposits to safer plans and with higher yields, you can easily balance your budget. There is a small amount of windfall luck coming your way, but do not risk high values in speculations. Carry a pocket size photo of Chai Shen Poh with you. Buying or selling properties will not profit you this year. Cut short your spending desires, otherwise you will have a big hole to fill. When you sign on dotted lines, read the fine print of the contract terms with a lens. Refrain from both lending and borrowing. Avoid direct money transactions with the opposite sex. If you are planning for a major personal borrowing to accommodate your lifestyle, you will be forced to notice that consistent rumours have influenced and damaged your credibility. Do not take to part-time jobs for earning some extra money, as it could affect your health. Keep a set of Dragon & Phoenix Coins along with cash, at your home, to initiate money savings.

HEALTH Long hours of work will bring general tiredness and shoulder stiffness. Meditate and relax. There could be some accidents, especially to the very young and to the quite old. Avoid long night travels. Keep away from the drinks. Avoid eating in unhygienic places. Headaches, indigestion, liver and gastrointestinal problems will surface. For the females, menstrual irregularities could become a source of worry. Hang a natural Chinese Wou-Lou by your bedside, to suck in the circulating sick chi. There could be a death in the family. If you are a male born in the year 1937, watch out for digestive disorders and constipation problems. If you are a female born in the year 1937, you might face urinary problems.

LOVE Turbulent times for both the married and the singles. Rumour mills will be grinding overtime. Good communication skills can avert many possible misunderstandings. Get involved with your loved one and spend quality time together, attend social gatherings and participate in family functions and dispel even the smallest doubts. Take short breaks from your tight professional schedule and make enjoyable pleasure trips with your spouse. Resolve even the smallest disagreements instantly and do not allow arguments to escalate. If you fail to compromise and let your ego ride, you could even face separation. Install the combined statue of the ideal couple : Dragon & Phoenix, to gain support. Single Rats should understand that 2007 will not permit them to make any meaningful and constructive relationship.

STUDIES Good academic results and enough opportunities to shine. The efforts that you put in this year will continue to yield results far into the future. If you were born in 1985, your active social networking will bring you into the sphere of cupid's arrows - do not get involved with silly romance - nothing ever will come out of it - it will only distract you from your ambition. Important : Be practical - self-harm in a fit of rage will bring down your entire family. If you were born in 1997, your academic performance will be outstanding.

Birthstone : Lapis Lazouli Good Relationships with : Rat, Rabbit and Monkey, for 2007 Conflicts with : Horse, Dragon and Goat, for 2007 Polarity Force : More Yin Lucky Numbers : 1, 3, 5, 12, 15, 33, 35, 51 & 53 Zodiac Protector : XuKong Zang or Akasa Garbha (Sanskrit)

A NOTE ABOUT REMEDIES : The above analysis has suggested some remedies/cures for reducing the impact of negative energy and has recommended certain enhancers for increasing and improving upon the beneficial energy of the year. For the remedies/enhancers to be effective, they should be cleansed, energised, blessed and programmed not only for the particular individual/family but also for the specific purpose/problem. They should also be placed in the indicated location, to derive the maximum benefit. Any or all of these remedies can be reused for the forthcoming new years, but they may have to be repositioned according to the specific new year.

Bedroom Feng Shui -- Finding TRUE Love with Feng Shui

Spending yet another holiday alone? It can start getting pretty bleak looking and for some reason, New Years Eve can be a killer. I wonder how many of you have taken any Feng Shui steps to attract not only a person into your life, but finding the RIGHT person. Don?t give up, they may be just around the corner. And I have many clients who can attest to the powers of Feng Shui to find that special someone.

I think of Nancy, a recent client who called me to her home. Nancy wasn?t looking for just anyone who came along that was breathing, she wanted someone on the same wavelength who was going to enhance her life, not add on to the stress we all have.

Nancy is a particularly mindful person. She is very much in tune with Intention, The Laws of Attraction, and things that can?t be seen or heard, namely Energy Work. She was (despite all odds and going against the criticism and negativity she was encountering) looking to change careers as well; at the age of 42 she wanted to become an actress.

Among the many other things we discussed during the consultation, these were the things I focused on with her. I showed her career section which was her main entrance and explained that it was almost completely blocked by hedges that had gotten out of control. Since it is her main entrance to her home, it is also the Mouth of Chi and explained why we needed to address that. And I was able to give her some simple and easy methods to get her career moving inside her home as well.

She is my idea of a ?perfect? client. She listens, she understands the reasons and carries out the changes with the best of Intentions which is the main component of Feng Shui. And changes will happen of which she is not doubtful.

We also looked at many areas of her home including her ?romance? areas from an outdoor perspective and special emphasis on her bedroom. It seems that her outside Romance area was the corner of the house thought of as ?The dumping ground.? Meaning where old firewood was stored and things that weren?t used were put there ?temporarily? until she could find a way to get rid of them. In this case, temporarily had become two years.

When I explained this was her romance area and it needed to be cleaned and activated, a light when off in her head. It was no wonder she hadn?t attracted anyone. She took immediate steps to get rid of all the junk that had accumulated and address the area for romance. Both outdoors and indoors we have special options we can use but major principles we always use are the color pink and to ?think in twos.? Outdoors this can be a statue of any two like objects enhanced or containing the color pink. Since the area was stagnant, we could also use a moving object there, our Intention being to move someone special right into our lives.

Remember when using anything moving, once we?ve gotten things moving in the area we have chosen, we want to move the moving object as we now want to stabilize the area and intentionally weigh it down. We don?t want this new, wonderful person moving right back out! Weighing it down can simply include a rock or paperweight with the Intention we now want to keep this area just as it is.

We also looked closely at her bedroom. It was unbalanced, contained pictures of others or herself, alone (a Feng Shui no-no) and I advised her how to balance the room simply and inexpensively (many clients are on a strict budget) and suggested one of my favorite things to attract the Right person. I suggest they use a heart shaped (pink if possible) picture frame with her on one side and a silhouette on the other. On the back of the silhouette I asked her to write down qualities she absolutely had to have in a partner. She understood the very act of taking the time to infuse this area with her Intentions would not just draw anyone into her life, but someone special.

Our consultation was during the summer, but she and I keep up; relationships I make with what were once clients become so much more, they oftentimes become true friends in every sense of the word. Her last email to me was SO positive. She had just gotten an acting job at a nearby playhouse and as I was reading, I was hoping someone had come to see the play and she?d end up on Broadway?. Not yet, but she did say the last day of the play a very nice single man that she had worked with came over to her with a Rose and invited her to dinner.

These are the kind of wonderful emails or calls I am fortunate enough to get more often then not! And that is the love of this work. For you singles out there who want a special person, not just a breathing one, follow the advice and simple steps and then step back while keeping a positive attitude. Nancy?s story is not the exception, it is the Rule of the Laws of Attraction and The Power of Intention and all the wonderful things Feng Shui can help you accomplish in your life.

Feng Shui Is Another Element In Which You Can Have The Advantage Over Your Competition

It is a common practise in the eastern countries that Feng Shui masters are consulted for their homes and offices. This is applicable for corporate executives and more so for Entrepreneurs. Why are Feng Shui so important to these people? Will Feng Shui really improve our life, luck and businesses?

First, let's us understand the concept of Luck.

There are 3 types of luck in the centuries old Chinese belief. This so called Trinity of Luck are equally distributed, that is 33.33% each. We can do something to 2 of them to improve our luck and there is only one we cannot control. Let me explain.

Heaven Luck - this is luck that has already been fixed by the heavens for you the day you are born. We do not and will not have control over it. Called it Fate. This is done by reading your palm, calculate your date of birth and some times reading your face.

Earth Luck - This is the environment we are in which deal with our locations and the things around us. We can use Feng Shui to enhance good forces or to prevent any bad forces that can affect us. This is the reason why you opt-into my page and you want to know more and do something to improve your luck.

Human Luck - This is about yourself and your upbringing. It is about what you can achieve through education and willingness to work hard towards your goals. You can definitely control this luck.

Therefore, having the right mindset and attitude is important. The right mind to believe that there is a science of getting rich while applying Feng Shui, you already control 66.66% of the Luck you need for your life!

It is not uncommon to see many eastern entrepreneurs re-arrange their office to cater for good Feng Shui in order to usher good luck and prosperity. They are also aware that Human Luck is also important to their success. A person's attitude to work, interpersonal relationship and the quest to learn is important. To improve human luck, one needs to have continuous educations and refinements in their skills. This is what the west is good at. They have developed management science that the east are looking for. China is now learning all the skills that have been developed by the west. Many techniques such as goal settings, project managements, software and manufacturing techniques and business franchising just to name a few.

If we combine the knowledge of the East and West together, we can achieve success with more certainty. In a New York Times interview in 1994, billionaire Donald Trump commented: "Feng Shui is another element in which you can have the advantage over your competition...This is something we cannot ignore."

Feng Shui-What It Can Do For You An Intro

The ancient art of Feng Shui can bring you success in a number of forms including better relationships, health, creativity and generally more success in work and your personal life.

It's easy to do so lets look at Feng Shui in more detail.

Pronounced different ways depending on the dialect feng shui (fong shway, foong swee, etc) is the very ancient Chinese proto-science of space management.

It comprises the arranging of buildings, interiors of buildings, and spaces between and in between in order to harmonize the environment with the perfect order of the universe. Feng Shui roughly means ?the way of the water and wind?

How Old is Feng Shui?

Actually, there is no evidence of an origin, or even of a certain place.

Ancient Chinese villages from over 6,000 years ago show graves being laid out in classical feng shui style. However, in ancient Europe, there are many of the same evidence, and it appears that our ancestors were pre-occupied with this harmonization with the universe. The monolithic stones at Stonehenge are a good example.

The pyramids also are arranged in perfect feng shui. The science may not have been Chinese originally, but has since been taken as a native Chinese art and science.

What Is Good and Bad Feng Shui?

Good feng shui is meant to bring one success, good health, successful relationships, manners, creative talent, and aid meditation.

Bad feng shui block all of these and seem to produce their opposites.

How Feng Shui Is Supposed to Work

The ancient seers and sages were observers of the world and the universe.

They knew that as everything that exists contains chi or qi (life force), and this life force is made up of two opposites, ying and yang.

Yin is the feminine or reception form of the qi, and yang is the masculine or creative and active form.

They understood that yin and yang cannot exist without one another. Furthermore, the sages divided the qi into eight qualities, namely the Lake, the Mountain, Fire, Water, Heaven, Wind and Earth.

The sages devised a system of understanding the energy patters from these elements, and with the proper arrangement, a person who resided or moved within a harmonized environment, gained the good feng shui as well.

This arrangement is called ba gua (Sequence of the Later Heaven), and it is superimposed on each house or interior the feng shui master wishes to evaluate and correct.

Certain qualities are found in each of the eight elements, such as health, creativity, even luck. The feng shui master makes the space arrangement not only in harmony with the universe and qi, but also, your personal situation and circumstance.

Some Practical Examples of Employing Feng Shui

1. Mirrors in one?s home should not face your bed or even chairs

2. The front door or any home or apartment must not be too big or too large. Either of these will keep the qi from flowing properly.

3. Your home should not be near the end of a bridge, a church, or even a highway. All of these will have too fast qi or not enough.

4. Understanding that qi enters one home from the doors, you must have doors facing each other, as that lets the qi move too quickly out of the room (apartment, home). Rather have doors on adjoining walls.

5. When decorating your home, never put a sofa or chair with their backs to a door or window.

6. Windows must have a good and pleasant view, if not, window ?dress? it with flowers or some other ornaments.

7. When buying land to build a house on, but sure the lot is rectangular, preferably on a hill and having open spaces between the house and the end of the lot.

Finding True Love With Feng Shui

If true love has been eluding you, you could increase the chances of meeting someone you fancy by activating the Romance sector in your home.

Where can you find your Romance sector?

One way is by using your Chinese horoscope. We all belong to one of twelve Chinese horoscopes - Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.

For those of you born in the year of the Rat, Dragon, or Monkey, your Romance sector is in the West.

For those of you born in the year of the Horse, Dog, or Tiger, your Romance sector is in the East.

For those of you born in the year of the Rooster, Ox, or Snake, your Romance sector is in the South.

For those of us born in the year of the Rabbit, Goat, or Pig, our Romance sector is in the North.

After you've located your Romance sector in your house, it's time to activate the sector.

Flowers are often used to activate the Romance sector. There are a number of things you need to pay attention:

1. The vase must be filled with fresh flowers and clear water. You should not have an empty vase.

2. Only fresh flowers should be used. No synthetic flowers. (That would have made things so much easier, wouldn't it?)

3. Ideally, display 4 stalks of flowers.

3. Choose flowers with vibrant colors and without thorns. Never use black or white flowers.

4. Pay attention to the color of the vase.

If your Romance sector is in the East or Southeast sector (belonging to Wood element), you can use a green vase.

If your Romance sector is in the South (belonging to Fire element), you can use a purple or red vase.

If your Romance sector is in the North (belonging to Water element), you can use a black or blue vase.

If your Romance sector is in the West or Northwest (belonging to Metal element), you can use a white or gold vase.

If your Romance sector is in the Southwest or Northeast (belonging to Earth element), you can use a yellow vase.

Wishing you all the best in finding the love of your life!
