We are to push out bad luck of the previous year to welcome the good fortune of the coming year...

2008 is the Year of the Rat...

And since i was born in the year of the rooster...this is my prediction for the upcoming year...


THE ROOSTER



People born in the Year of the Rooster are deep thinkers, capable, and talented. They like to be busy and are devoted beyond their capabilities and are deeply disappointed if they fail. People born in the Rooster Year are often a bit eccentric, and often have rather difficult relationship with others. They always think they are right and usually are! They frequently are loners and though they give the outward impression of being adventurous, they are timid. Rooster people¡¦s emotions like their fortunes, swing very high to very low. They can be selfish and too outspoken, but are always interesting and can be extremely brave. They are most compatible with Ox, Snake, and Dragon.

12. Your lucky sector: (astrological zone) is the west (262.5º - 277.5º) of the home or office.
13. The west has the inauspicious #3 star you need to make sure you place a statue of Kwan Yin in the west in 2008 especially if this is a bedroom or other important room.
14. Although the west is your astrological zone, this may not be the best direction for you to face when seated at work or doing anything important.
15. If you are relocating your desk this year to face one of your favourable personal directions, please be aware of the directions and locations of the annual afflictions.
16. You are in affinity with the Dragon. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a Dragon.

19. When at work, you may sit facing the south direction if this is one of your personal good directions, but do not sit with your back to the south or you may find unscrupulous people working against you or you may encounter undue gossip and back stabbing during the year.
20. Because the south has the three killings and Sui Po combined with the #5 bad luck star this makes the south very undesirable in 2008.
21. An exceptionally powerful cure in 2008 and can only be used in certain years is by placing a six metal Dragon hanging Pagoda.
22. The reason you can only use this cure in the south is because the Dragon is part of the three combinations (San He) and if placed correctly not only can it cure the negative effects of the south in 2008 it can also enhance a very inauspicious area making it an extremely powerful cure and enhancer.
23. With Tai Sui, you may rely on him for support in that you may sit with him in the north and face the south.
24. Do not confront him by undertaking any renovation or construction works in the north or by sitting in a position that is directly opposite him (south).
25. In 2008, this means do not sit with your back to the south facing north even if this is your best direction.
26. Most traditional Chinese families would place a Pi Yao and a gold coloured three legged toad in the south of the home facing north or if your main door is in the north, place it just inside the door facing north.
27. Sui Po year breaker occupies the division directly opposite Tai Sui Grand Duke, which for 2008 is south.
28. You should treat this area the same as the other annual afflictions with no groundbreaking work, renovations or any noisy activities.
29. If disturbed this area can and normally will cause immediate health problems especially for the elderly, so please be very careful.
30. If you have to carry out work or emergency repairs in the south place a six hollow metal rod wind chime (if you are using the 2008 cures kit you do not have to think about it) between the building and where the work is being carried out and ideally you should contact a professional Feng Shui Practitioner to select an auspicious date to start the work.
31. To soften the effects of the year you should hang six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon and place it in the northwest of your home or office this year to control the #2 star.
32. You should also place a six rod metal wind chime in the south along with a set of six Chinese coins tied together with ribbon in your home this year to weaken the #5.
