Year of the Fire Monkey-Seizing Opportunities Through Flying Stars

Many market analysts, economists, and feng shui masters forecasted a challenging year for 2016. The low price of crude oil, metals, commodities, and volatility in foreign exchange rates, swings in the stock exchanges are expected to continue in 2016. The impending increase in interest rate by the Federal Reserves of US and the maturity of bonds(issued under QE in the US), the bulk of which are due in 2016 are expected to affect the flow of funds and increase uncertainties in the bond, share, and property markets. Many job cuts and retrenchments are also expected in 2016 in view of economic slowdown and intense competition. Please read my blog on “Assessment of Wealth Capacity”.

However, in every crisis there are always opportunities. To be able to seize opportunities when they come, one must always be ready and prepared. Cash is one of the prerequisites to have in time of crisis. Cash is needed for contingencies, buying properties, shares, assets, and businesses. It is also important to acquire education, wisdom, skills and knowledge. Connection and ability to execute are also important.

In Fengshui, “Qi” is dynamic. “Qi” evolves, permeates and changes through time. Every 20 years, there is a capital transformation and shift in Qi. Every 20 years is equivalent to a period. We are now in Period 8 which is from 2004 to 2023. It is an analysis of the five elements- fire, earth, metal, water and wood and star combinations that occupy your building. Every new year sees the annual flying stars change, bringing good and bad energy to different sectors of the property.  It is like updating to latest version of Apple IOS system from 8 to 9.

Negative Sectors- Northeast, Center, Northwest, and North

a)Northeast-Star 5

In the year of the Monkey, the bad energy called Star 5 or “Five Yellow”– symbolizing misfortune, obstacles, and bad luck arrives at the Northeast.

2016 Feng Shui Afflictions

a)The Grand Duke of Jupiter, Grand General or Commander of the Year or “Tai Sui”

Tai Sui is the name of a body of Qi is in the Southwest in 2016. This sector is not to be disturbed. It is not favorable to carry any construction or renovation work in the area. As long as there are no renovation or construction activities in the sector then the sector is usable as auspicious Star 8 is also located here. Tai Sui also represents the direction of the year. It is located at the sector of the Luo Pan(Chinese compass). For instance, in the Year of the Monkey, Grand Duke is located at SouthWest 3 bearing compass degree of 232.6-247.5. There are two types of Grand Duke by definition. The first is the “spiritual” Grand Duke which is a deity the Chinese pray to during Chinese New Year in the hope of receiving good blessings for a smooth sailing year. The other Grand Duke refers to Feng Shui Grand Duke which is a planetary position of a body of Qi or planet. They are two entirely separate and distinct entities, altogether. We are only interested in the Feng Shui Grand Duke.

b)Three Killings

It is also not recommended for one to sit with back against the South as you will be sitting against the unfavorable energy called “Three Killings” in the South. Do not do renovation or construction activities in the South. As long there are no renovation or construction works in this sector, it is okay to be in this sector.

c)Year Breaker or “Wrath of the Grand Duke”

It is also not advisable to sit in the Northeast called Year Breaker or “Wrath of the Grand Duke” which faced the Grand Duke in the SouthWest. This sector should not be activated lest it invites severe undesirable issues so any renovation works in this sector are totally out of the question. The bad star “Five Yellow” is also in this sector. With two inauspicious Stars- the Five Yellow and Year Breaker-this is one area to be wary of.

In summary, by knowing where are the auspicious stars in your property, you should strategize to spend more time in the good sectors-the Southwest, East and Southeast where the Qi or energy level is stronger for you to seize opportunities in 2016.
