2010 – Year of the Tiger Chinese Zodiac Forecast

Chinese Astrology fans out there must be starting to surf around for next year’s forecast as we are less than 2 months away from 2010. Here’s something I received in the email for you to read about.

The Year of The Tiger begins on February 14th 2010. Drama, intensity, change and travel will be the keywords for 2010. Unfortunately, world conflicts and disasters tend to feature during Tiger years also, so it won’t be a dull 12 months for anyone. The Year of the Tiger will bring far reaching changes for everyone. New inventions and incredible technological advances have a good chance of occurring.

For all of the Chinese horoscope signs, this year is one to be active – seizing opportunities and making the most of our personal and very individual talents. Everything happens quickly and dramatically in a Tiger year – blink and you could miss an important chance of a lifetime! Let’s take a look at each animal, their major personality traits and what the prospects are for 2010, the Year of the Tiger. (more…)

The World of Feng Shui

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, one of the activities most Chinese would do leading to the Chinese New Year apart from getting new clothes and preparing the house to usher in the New Year is to check on Feng Shui (風水) and Bazi as well as the Chinese Zodiacs to ensure that their new year would be smoother and better than the previous year.

Even I do that, yes, about this time of year, one of the few activities I do online was to go online and check out the various feng shui sites as well as chinese zodiac sites. I even posted one up for those born in the years of the Dragon. One thing to make clear is that I’m not a person who can read Feng Shui or understand it’s intricate language, for that I rely on a friend who I refers to whenever I’m curious about something or rather when it comes to Feng Shui and Bazi. After all, who wouldn’t want to do something to improve their own life and all. Right?

I know many people are skeptical about it, like can such thing really help with our lives? I can’t speak for others but from personal experience, even if it doesn’t make you an instant millionaire (I don’t think there’s such a sure fire way but if you know of one, please let me know!), it did help me to be more observant, more careful on certain things.

To give you an idea what Feng Shui, BaZi and Chinese Zodiac is about, here’s a rough summary from what I could gather online.

Feng Shui: It’s an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in China. It is a complex body of knowledge that reveals how to balance the energies of any given space to assure the health and good fortune for people inhabiting it. Based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature and it’s energy, Ancient Chinese believed that the land’s energy could either make or break the kingdom, so to speak. The theories of yin and yang, as well as the five feng shui elements, are some of the basic aspects of a feng shui analysis that come from Taoism. (more…)
