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…)


Year of the Earth Ox at a Glance

A Compilation like what you get all over the net and papers for the Chinese New Year for chinese 12 horoscopes. If you’ve not read the ones for 2009 yet, here it is.


Lucky:
Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Ram, Rooster, Dog, Pig
Not so lucky: Horse, Monkey, Rat

THE wheel of fortune changes every year. You could be down one year, on top of the world, the next. So what does the Year of the Earth Ox hold for the 12 Chinese zodiac signs? Feng shui master Wong Keen Ming clues you in:

Ox

This is your lucky year; everything is favourable. You’re probably the luckiest of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. You’ll make significant progress in your career. Big money comes your way and you’ll enjoy good health.

Career: You have two important lucky stars. You could be promoted and can expect a windfall.

Love life: You’re not so lucky in love this year. The female Ox wants to bask in luxury, while the male Ox is in a foul mood. Relationships may turn cold.

Health: The Ox loves sports and healthy food, and rarely gets sick. In fact, the Ox will enjoy better health this year. The young Ox should not have too much of a good time lest he/she gets into trouble.

Take note: Remember the old Chinese saying: Never forget the hard times when you’re lucky.

Tiger

You have no lucky or unlucky stars. Work hard and you’ll be rewarded. It’s a year of changes; whether these are good or bad depends on you.

Career: You have more chances to go abroad this year. You’ll impress your clients and co-workers with your performance. Your boss will appreciate your efforts.

Love life: There’s a lonely star influencing you. Married Tigers may have little time to talk to their spouse, so there may be a communication breakdown. Single Tigers can hardly find any new love interest.

Health: Young Tigers will have a common health problem this year. Old Tigers should take good care of their health because of two unlucky stars.

Take note: It’s an average year – the outcome will depend on your attitude. Work hard and don’t miss good opportunities.

Rabbit

The Rabbit is more comfortable with the Pig (which symbolises endings) rather than the Rat (which is associated with new beginnings). You will enjoy good luck, especially in love. But the luck element is missing in health and wealth-related matters.

Career: You’ll meet a strong lucky star that will help you when you’re in trouble. You may make significant progress in your career, and may even get promoted. Be warned that several unlucky stars around you could create obstacles when you’re close to success. Although you’ll make more money this year, be wise in how you use it. It’s not a good year for speculative investments.

Love life: The Rabbit is gentle, talented in art, cares for his friends and makes people feel at ease. The single Rabbit can look forward to an abundance of opportunities. Married Rabbits will find family life is great fun.

Health: Your health is under the influence of an unlucky star, and you may get hurt in an accident. You’re often in a bad mood due to lack of sleep.

Take note: Have enough sleep. Be careful while driving or crossing the road. Focus on your career and love life. (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…)
