Annual Forecast & Feng Shui Remedies for 2008 : Wu Zi, Year of Yang Brown Earth Rat - Goat 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.

In Chinese Hsia Calender, 2008 is the 4705th year and significantly, is also the fifth year of the New Feng Shui Land Luck Cyclic Period 8. The forthcoming new Chinese Lunar Year is from 7th February 2008 to 25th February 2009. The next Chinese New Year, Ji Chow, the Yin Brown Earth Ox will begin on 26th January 2009.

CAREER

A magnificent year that showers professional luck on you. You will be quite busy, assertive and motivated. Opportunities will be aplenty and so will be help from prominent personalities. Success will follow in whatever you do. You will get hold of more authority and gain more social status. Some obstacles may come in your path, but you will bulldoze your way through it. In order to preserve your achievements and continue to progress, you will have to decide on choices, establish priorities and be combat-ready. Fight to win if you have to, but fight you have to, this year. Realize your desires and pursue what you had lost in the past - this rare culmination of good fortune will last only a year. You will be a victim of office gossips, rumors, disputes and arguments. Place a Rose Quartz Crystal Ball or Egg in the West, to resolve them. The salaried worker will get a promotion coupled with a pay rise. Recognition and commendations will come your way. The self-employed will get a continued flow of orders and expand business. Stay humble and draw contingency plans because there could be sudden crisis too. Do not let your ego and arrogance get in the way. Some of you could get entangled with the legal department. Hang a Green Dragon PaKua Sword near your main entrance.

Important : Your Celestial Animal Goat is on a "harming" formation with the Year TaiSui of 2008 (Grand Duke Jupiter). Whether you are a salaried worker or self-employed, you need to not only avoid the wrath but also pacify and get the blessings of the Tai Sui, to avoid permanent damages. For this display the genuine, energized photographs of "Ying Ban, the 2008 TaiSui" and the "Protection Talisman for 2008" in the North and carry their miniature versions in your pocket or purse. Avoid attending cremation rituals or burial ceremonies this year. When traveling, try and avoid going straight towards the North direction as it is the direction of the Grand Duke Jupiter in 2008.

MONEY

Abundant income, some of which will be from unexpected sources. Good time for renovations and for buying new assets. Invest heavily and wisely. Do not be lured by easy and illegal money making schemes - you will end up on the wrong side of the law. Windfall luck is highly volatile so avoid large gambling and investing much in share markets. If you are a regular trader in the stock markets, carry a set of 3 Nanbu Windfall Luck Coins with you.

HEALTH

Moodiness and untimely food lead to emotional distress and insomnia. Digestive disorders, gastrointestinal ailments, blood circulatory problems and heart diseases are possible for many of you. Pregnant women should avoid getting into depression at all costs. When unwell, seek medical treatment immediately. Be vigilant when you drive. Always obey the rules of the road, as you are more accident prone this year. Refrain from using tobacco and alcohol and too much tea or coffee. Rest and relax while you can. Meditate and do yoga. Install the Brass Five Element Pagoda Tower and keep a set of 3 Sau Health Coins under your bed.

LOVE

An excellent time for courtship, engagement, wedding and child bearing. Singles should go all out to secure their life partner and settle down - even if they have to cut corners in their career. The married ones should learn to share their quality time between work and family, to avoid conflicts at home. This can be achieved only through faith and a lot of efforts. Your seductive powers are on the increase - guard against love triangles. Your own kin will add fuel to the fire by sowing seeds of discord. Place the statues of Male QuiYong on Dragon and Female QuiYong on Phoenix in the South West of your bedroom and keep a set of three Harmony Coins under your bed, for increasing the marital harmony.

STUDIES

Last year's stress still lingers. New study environment, self-induced isolation and self-abandonment depresses you. Avoid bad influences and wrong type of friends. Do not dabble in love affairs which will take you away from your academic pursuits and lose track of your goals. Be on guard against unexpected pregnancy. You are in no position to make your own major decisions. You need the harmony, support and encouragement of your family at all times, especially right now. Concentrate solely on your studies. Display the Dragon Head Turtle carrying Pagoda Tower in the North East and carry a set of 3 QuiYong Coins, to help you tide over the troubled times.
