Annual Forecast & Feng Shui Remedies for 2007 : Yin Red Fire Pig Year - Snake 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 Snake (or Serpent), you are symbolically identified by your Celestial Animal, the "Snake (or Serpent)" :

From 04 Feb 1905 to 24 Jan 1906

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 inauspicious year of reversed fortunes. In 2007, your Celestial Animal Snake is conflicting the Year TaiSui (Grand Duke Jupiter). This war-like energy field will involve you in gossips and scandals, discredit your reputation and spoil your career. It will seem as though your hard work will go without results, progress halted and your talents disrespected. Projects at finishing stage might collapse. Maintain old and regular clients while entering and establishing new markets. You should create opportunities yourself and make the most of them by putting in considerable efforts and by becoming flexible in your approach. Your progress will be very modest but the knowledge and experience that you gain now will bear fruit in the coming years. By acting tactfully and managing your affairs discreetly, you can create strategically useful friendships which can get you through a difficult year. Most of you will be spending the year outside of your regular place but refrain from switching careers or jobs right now. Do not cut corners for short term gains or take up false opportunities of enticements - you might end up in a legal trap that could destroy you. Inaugurate the statue or photo of the Protector Kuan Kung in the North West to watch over you in these hard times. If you were born in 1989, you might loose valuables and money in a theft. Employed Snakes will fare much better than the Self-employed Snakes. You will do good this year if you have anything to do with trading, marketing, travels, transportation, imports and exports. Whether you are self-employed or salaried worker, you are in dire need of the blessings of the TaiSui this year. Display the genuine, energised photographs of "Feng Ji, the 2007 TaiSui" and the "TaiSui Protection Talisman for 2007" in the North West and carry their miniature versions in your pocket or purse, for minimising the severe negative impacts that you are likely to suffer this year. Do not attend burial ceremonies or cremation rituals this year.

MONEY Fluctuating cash flow will dishearten you. Do not indulge in frivolous spending but tighten your belt. At least one heavy spending is awaiting you, because of your conflict with the Year TaiSui : could even be the expense of shifting your home or office. Requirements might force you to look for loans. Be prudent when you disburse money. When drawing up new contracts, be wary of fine prints. There could be some mistakes or you might even be cheated. Stay away from speculative investments and gambling - you hardly have any windfall luck this year. Keep a set of "Four Heavenly Kings" coins to minimise money erosions.

HEALTH As you are in conflict with the Year TaiSui, you are prone to frustrations and blood injuries. Frustrations will lead to depressions and depressions will lead to carelessness and recklessness. Such extreme moods will lead to many accidents. Accidents will lead to injuries, sprains and fractures, especially in your legs, hips, face and teeth. Drive very carefully and always follow the rules of the road. Do not participate in any type of risky sports. Be on guard when you take the staircase. You can sincerely attempt to prevent the destined "bloodshed" by donating blood voluntarily. Some of you might get respiratory problems and digestive disorders. Avoid stimulants like alcohol and tobacco. Do yoga and meditate. By hanging a real and original Chinese Wou-Lou (near your bedside), you can drain out quite a lot of sick energy from the negative atmosphere surrounding you. If you were born in 1941, heart, eye and stomach problems may trouble you. If you are a female born in 1953, watch out for gynecological ailments.

LOVE Do not bring the pressures and stress at work into your family life. If you do, you will have to face severe consequences. Your unbalanced emotions will make mountains out of molehills and upset precious equations. You need the support of your family in this taxing year - you will get it too, if you do not spoil it yourself. Install the statue of the Three Generations Dragon Head Turtles in the East. Singles may not find a proper anchoring relationship that they are looking for.

STUDIES Apparent clash with the TaiSui will make you rebellious. You will fall prey to the wrong gang and mix with negative friends. As a result your studies will suffer greatly. Questions will be raised about your motivations. Your integrity will suffer. You will be restless and moody. Seek the help of your family and heed their advice. Display the "Protection Talisman for 2007" in the North West of your study room and always carry a small photo of Feng Ji, the TaiSui of 2007, in your pocket. If you were born in 2001, you should be under constant care and attention.

Birthstone : Opal Good Relationships with : Rooster and Ox, for 2007 Conflicts with : Tiger, Snake and Pig, for 2007 Polarity Force : More Yang Lucky Numbers : 1, 2, 4, 6, 13, 24, 42 and 46 Zodiac Protector : Puxian or Samantabhadra (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.

Feng Shui Elements

Feng Shui is an ancient spiritual discipline based on Yin, Yang and five elements theory. With the proper use of Feng Shui elements in your living spaces you can have Yin, negative energies and Yang, positive energies, perfectly balanced. The harmonious surroundings created by the Feng Shui designs have their positive influences on your life.
A practical advice on how Feng Shui elements should be used in interior design is given only after a through assessment of Feng Shui elements of your living space. A proper adjustment of Feng Shui elements helps us regain control over our lives. With practical Feng Shui interior design changes, your environment has a positive effect on you. All Feng Shui elements have their own unique properties and should be used properly.

The five Feng Shui elements water, wood, fire, metal, and earth help balance the competing energies in your home by negating and supporting each other?s energy. Creatively used Feng Shui elements in home design maintain the yin and yang balance of your environment.
There are five elements of Feng Shui. One element water, as in trickling fountain, can symbolize networking, communication, professional opportunities and wealth, while sink water, toilet water or waste water may symbolize loss of money or poor health.
Wood is another Feng Shui element that promotes development and creative energies in its surroundings. You can use wooden objects to promote motivation, inspiration and passion. Metals are transmitters or conductors of energy. Introduction of a metal generates attention and it is also associated with strength.

Another element of Feng Shui, earth is associated with solidity, stability and permanence. Fire is the most powerful of all five elements. It represents energy and passion and is represented in bright or Yang colors.
Though the Feng Shui elements are important individually, what is more important is the positive or destructive effect that each element can have on one another. For example if you have a room that lacks the wood element, using a wooden Feng Shui decorating would not suffice. You need water element as well because it enables wood to grow.
When you attain ?ideal? Chi (not too fast, and not too slow) the balance and harmony to your life will return and that can be done with the thoughtful use of Feng Shui elements in interior design.

Enhancing Your Career With Feng Shui - Finding A Job You Will LOVE

If you're seeking a new career or would simply like to move up in the one you have, did you know there are simple, inexpensive things you can do to attract it right into your life? According to the Principles of Feng Shui, we work primarily with Intention, Energy and The Laws of Attraction. Knowing this is important as there is a misconception that Feng Shui changes or adjustments need to be costly. Then don't.

A simple method of moving up in your career or changing one altogether is this:

From the inside, the Front Door represents our career area according to the Bagua. One simple thing you can do is place a business card over your front door that states where you are now or what your present title is. If you don't have a business card, simply make one out of construction paper that clearly states your name, the business you currently work for and your title.

Now think about what you'd aspire to do; the sky is the limit so dream on! There may be more then one thing you'd like to do or maybe you can't decide. If you'd like to stay in the same place but move up in position, carefully write out another business card with your name and your new title. Infuse it with your energy as you write. This will go over the first card you have created as this is what you aspire to.

Let's say you'd like to change careers completely. Is there a company or certain place you'd like to work or perhaps be your own boss in a business you've always dreamed of? Then this is what you would write on the second card instead. Make sure it has your name and the name of your new company. And remember to put your energy into everything you do.

Feel free to make as many cards as you like, we don't put restrictions on anything to do with Feng Shui. And think about this for your significant other if they are living with you. It has been shown that when you love what you do, failure is almost unheard of. Did you ever wonder why that is? Have you seen the incredible amounts of energy in certain people when they are speaking of something they are passionate about, be it a partner or their job?

When you truly love what you do, you become engrossed with it; it gives you the energy to create more. It gives you ideas, aspirations to achieve even more and success starts to flow. You've probably seen this with every very prominent person you can think of. And it can happen for you as well.

Finally, career incorporates the color black. Take another piece of construction paper and make a frame around your cards. Tape them inside the front door, on the top over the molding. You will see them every morning before stepping out the door to start your new day and won't forget what you are aspiring to achieve. And allow the thoughts and ideas to come on how to create that. Don't forget to act on those thoughts as you get them to bring back exactly what you are seeking to attain.

When the real business cards have come in due to your promotion or the start of your new business, replace the ones you have made. And know that YOU made it happen!

Feng Shui Problems - Feng Shui Solutions - Feng Shui for Homes and Offices

We often encounter problems and obstacles in life. Using Feng Shui approaches to help overcome them comes with what we call adopting a "Feng Shui Lifestyle." For every obstacle we come across, we are most likely meant to LEARN something. All of life is a learning process but if you get too "stuck" on what the lesson was you won't be able to navigate around the problem. Obstacles can present themselves in a number of way. Health issues, money difficulties, problems with our children or other family members that make us worry, issues with our relationships or careers. In adopting a Feng Shui Lifestyle, take a good, objective look at the problem confronting you. Ask yourself what advice you would give your best friend is they were going through the same thing. Taking a step back from yourself to evaluate the issue is one of the most difficult things to do because it is happening to US.

Is there a way around it? What can you do to relieve the stress associated with it while you are dealing with it? Look at your options; there are always options, the world is not black and white, it is filled with all shades of gray and colors that we sometimes miss. Look for a way to circumvent the issue, even if it is only a temporary solution, until you feel you are more in control and better able to make a good, permanent decision.

Sometimes, for a quick resolution, it is best to confront an obstacle head on. Go right IN to the issue, see what you can do to change the situation immediately. And act on it. This is often difficult for many people and totally normal to not want to confront issues and difficulties head on, but it can offer much relief because they are often more quickly resolved.

A Feng Shui lifestyle asks us to keep a balance in life. Try to remember this as you are going through the "hard" times. Keeping a balance of work and play, in our diet and sleep can help us come to an answer of how best to deal with the obstacle. While it can be extremely difficult to sleep well during these times, do whatever you can to clear your head before bedtime. Besides restoring our bodies for the next day, answers can suddenly come to us when our bodies are most open to thoughts, ideas and solutions.

I believe for every issue there is a way around it whether you have to confront it head on or take a path of least resistance (which is often times while you will see in Feng Shui the words "Go with the Flow." I agree with those words, we are often able to do that but for other obstacles and situations, confronting and dealing with it head on will not keep you "stuck" on it but will allow you to move forward in life. And that's exactly where you want to go, Forward!

Embrace Longevity & Romance with These 10 Feng Shui Secrets

Your bedroom is the most important room in your home. It has the greatest effect on your health and well-being. While you sleep, your energy fields are particularly receptive to the effect of any imbalance in your surroundings.

Feng Shui can help you create an environment where your well-being is enhanced, not compromised. These secrets will enhance the energy in your bedroom, improving your health and impacting romance in your life.

1. Create A Sanctuary
How does your bedroom feel? Does it nurture your soul? Remove anything that isn't related to the purpose of the bedroom. It will be creating a conflict of energy.

2. Remove The Television From Your Bedroom A television will affect your relationships, and also your sleep. The television is a more vibrant, yang energy, than the yin energy of your bedroom, which can make it a less relaxing environment for sleep.

Also, the television, whether off or on, is emitting electro-magnetic fields which affect your health. (Read more about EMFs below)

3. Position Your Bed
The ideal bed position is as far away from the door as possible, and with a clear view of the door from where you lie. If you cannot see the door easily, this will set up an unconscious vulnerability that will affect the quality of your sleep. If it's impossible to see the door, set up a mirror so you can see the door from where you lie.

4. Treat Yourself To The Best Bed For YOU. Considering you spend a third of your life in bed, it's worth investing in the best bed you can buy. Try out several until you find one that works for you.

Your bed holds the energy of whoever has slept in it, so buying a new bed is a good way to support a new beginning in your life. This is especially important after the breakup of a long relationship or after a long illness.

5. Remove Mirrors
If you're having trouble sleeping, check the mirrors. The bigger they are, and the closer to you, the more effect they will have. In Feng Shui, mirrors are used to increase the energy. They are not always suitable for bedrooms, where you want a more peaceful energy. If in doubt - try covering the mirrors at night for a month to see if it makes a difference.

6. Eliminate Sharp Corners Lie on your bed and look around your bedroom. Do you have corners of walls or furniture pointing towards any part of you as you sleep? They will be affecting your health, and specifically the part of your body they cut across.

Remedy this by softening the edges. For the corner of a wall, you can hang a spherical crystal from the ceiling, a few inches out from the corner, to disperse this cutting energy. You could also hang a plant. Soften the edges of a dresser with fabric or by placing a tall plant in front of that corner.

7. Don't Let Clutter Bog You Down! Clutter affects all areas of your life more than anything else, and your bedroom is no exception. Clutter in your bedroom will be affecting your health, your relationships and your prosperity. Clutter prevents the energy from flowing smoothly around your room and in your life.

Clutter is anything unfinished, unused, unresolved, tolerated, disorganized. This can be physical clutter, and can also be unresolved issues with your partner. That's one reason why its recommended to resolve any differences before you sleep.

8. Get A Fresh Perspective On Your Art Art is a powerful enhancement in creating the life you want. Is your art saying what you want it to be saying? If you want to be in a relationship, yet have pictures of single women on your walls, this will not be helping. If you have an image thats disturbing in any way, this will be affecting the peaceful environment you need to create rest for your soul.

9. Remove All Electrical Items Electro Magnetic Fields from electrical appliances are becoming a worldwide health concern, with studies showing they can contribute to various types of cancers and autoimmune diseases. A good way to create a space that nurtures your health rather than harms it, is to remove all plug-in clock radios, TVs, answering machines, electric blankets and any other electrical appliances.

At the very least, move them 12 feet away from you and unplug them. Your long-term health will be affected in direct proportion to the amount of electricity the item uses, how close it is to you, and how long you are exposed to it.

10. Create a nourishing view from your bed What's the view from your bed? Do you look straight into a bathroom, or worse still, into a toilet with it's lid up? Keep your bathroom door closed, or create a barrier with a screen. Make sure what you see when you wake has a sensuous and nurturing feel.

Your health is at the core of your quality of life and your body is your home, while you are here on earth. By applying these Feng Shui tips, you will be protecting your most precious asset.

What do YOU need to do to, to create an environment that works FOR you rather than against you?
