Flying Stars Fengshui for 2013 : Yearly Predictions & Remedies for Main Door facing North

Flying Stars or Fei Xing is a powerful form of Feng Shui derived from the famous Xuan Kong Fengshui. It is an Analysis of the Five Elements and Star Combinations (representing certain energy patterns) that occupy every building. Each new year these annual stars change, Qi (energy) shifts happen, bringing good and bad energy with them - thereby producing different effects.

In February 2004 all the Feng Shui Energy Patterns underwent huge transformations to the NewAge of Land Luck called Period 8 Energy Cycles. It means that a large scale evolution of the human race with completely new energy dynamics has started. The significance is that the new, vibrant energies of Period 8 impacts on the buildings differently than before and energies that were previously activated now need to be remedied, in order to reduce any bad effects from the past influences.

The Flying Stars Chart or the 9-Grid Meteor Plan for the Bing-Xu, Year of the Yang Red Fire Dog has been plotted and the effects of their energy patterns are analyzed. The analysis also contains suggested remedies/cures for reducing the impact of negative energy and recommended enhancers for increasing and improving upon the beneficial energy.

For the remedies/enhancers to be effective, they should be cleansed, energised, blessed and programmed not only for the particular individual/family but also for the specific purpose/problem. They should also be placed in the indicated location.

The direction in which your main door lies is very important to any form of Geomancy, including Fengshui & Vaastu. The primary reason for this is that the air currents and energy flow in and flow out through the mouth of the main door. Thus you receive positive energy for the year, if the main door faces a direction of auspicious stars or meteors (powerful energy bodies) and receive negative energy for the year, if the main door faces a direction of evil stars or meteors. In case negative impacts are forecast, you can simply offset the negative energy by installing the recommended remedies there. Any or all of these remedies can be reused for the coming years, the only thing is that they should be repositioned according to the new year.

Please note that the effects may be felt in varying degrees depending upon the exact compass degree of the main door.

ANNUAL FORECAST & REMEDIES FOR FLATS/HOMES/OFFICES/FACTORIES WITH MAIN DOOR FACING NORTH :
A good year for you to enjoy. People of the household, whether in employment or in practice or in business, will flourish. The Wealth Star of Period 8 will bring you good reputation and excellent cashflow. Businessmen can plan properly to convert the incoming cash into assets. Your sphere of influence will expand and consolidate into good name and fame. If you have a budding business person in your home, placing a white ceramic Dog statue will help.

The children of the household could suffer from stomach pains and digestive problems. Do not over strain yourself in work. Try and cut down smoking, liquor, etc. Be forewarned of problems related to blood and kidneys. Be careful to read "between the lines" any document you wish to sign. Avoid taking impulsive decisions. Do not use this area for storage purpose otherwise you may lose some of your wealth luck. Hang a large sized natural, original Chinese Wou-Lou on the inside of the main door, to minimise health related problems. To avoid theft and money loss, install a pair of Chi-Lins or Kuan Kung straight opposite your main door, overlooking it.

This year the Three San Sha Afflictions (also called as the Three Demons or the Three Killings) is residing here. So the potential of making good money will not be realised fully and consistently. Do not install any moving objects like Fish Aquariums or Water Fountains here, this year. But you can place a potted water plant. Do not dig, construct, renovate, redecorate or repair this year near your main door. Do not drill or even drive a nail in this wall. It is also not advisable to sit or sleep for extended periods, near your main door. If you do any of these, you will be inviting betrayals, thefts, accidents, injuries, money loss and other fatal disasters for your family members. If you had already started any of these work last year and would definitely have to continue and complete it in this year, then hang a golden, metal Wou-Lou and a Wind Chyme near the main door.

It is also recommended to place an icon of Kuan Kung or Three Generations Dragon Head Turtle or a pair of Pi-Yau near your main door, facing North, as even opening and closing the door is considered as "violating" the Three Demons. Also remember not to sit with your back facing North when you read, eat, watch TV, operate computer, etc.

Display the "Safety Talisman for 2013" in the North West sector and carry a miniature version of it always.

Door Mat Colour for the Main Door : Red or Yellow (on the outside).

COMMON MINIMUM REMEDY FOR ALL BUILDINGS FOR 2006 :
To minimise damage due to gossiping and rumours, arguments and disputes, avoid the colours green and blue in the center of your home. Do not place any moving water features like fish aquarium or water fountains here. Display 8 red roses without thorns and leaves in the center of your home/office/building and light up a small red coloured bulb which will burn continuously, 24/7. This is applicable for all buildings, irrespective of the direction of the main doors.

Here are the Annual Forecasts and suggested Fengshui & Crystal Remedies that you may need for the coming "New Year 2006 : Bing Xu, the Year of the Yang Red Fire Dog" :

CAREER :
A better year than 2005, but you are still not out of the woods. You can now come out of your isolation, move out of your territory, explore new avenues and regain your self-confidance, but there are still obstacles to be crossed and inconsistent luck to be faced. Those of you in the employment will encounter more difficulties and non co-operation. Frequent setbacks will lead to frustrations. Flexibility and adaptablility should be your seed mantra. But many of you will get timely help and guidance, if you look out properly. Some will migrate to distant lands, personally and professionally. But think hard and take professional advice, before switching jobs. You will be facing adverse conditions wherever you go. Be extremely careful when you sign any agreements. If you are in a job or practice that involves your speech skills, like a lawyer, PRO, salesman, insurance agent, etc., you will do much better. Display a Dragon & Phoenix statue for a general improvement and continue to wait for better times. Remember that the experience that you gather this year will be significant in future.

You are in punishment formation with the Tai Sui this year, so display the statue of a Three Generations Dragon Head Turtle alongwith a photograph of the presiding Year Authority of 2006 in the North West, to minimise the negativities of gossips and scandals. You should also wear a Fengshui Rabbit Pendant or place the statue of a Rabbit in the East. (The position of Tai Sui corresponds to North West this year. Tai Sui is also popularly called as Grand Duke of Jupiter and is an intangible energy body of war-like nature that should not be disturbed.)

MONEY :
Average wealth luck. Some of you could get help and support from friends and superiors. Stars also indicate financial loss through wrong guidance and because of mistakes of others. Do not enter speculative markets. Stimulate money flow by using a set of large sized wealth coins. You can also place a 3-legged Money Frog over your counter, looking towards you.

HEALTH :
Normal health. Look out when you take the steps and avoid climbing very high. There could be some bruising and blood injuries. You might also suffer from viral infections and common cold throughout the year. You can try to pre-empt the destined by donating blood and getting your teeth cleaned by a dentist. Exercise, sleep and rest well. Meditate frequently to safeguard your mental health.

LOVE :
Much better luck in the household. If you try and avoid bringing your career karma into your home, you will settle down to normalcy as far as your home is concerned. If you are a single, be careful of your romantic relationships. Good luck for those who wish to expand their friendship circle.

Beneficial Crystal : White Quartz, for 2006

Good Relationship with : Ox, Snake & Dragon, for 2006

Conflict with : Rabbit, Dog & Rooster, for 2006

Yin/Yang : Yin

Annual Forecasts & Fengshui Remedies for 2006 : Year of the Yang Red Fire Dog - for Goat Sign

The ancient Chinese Astrology is not only fascinating but also quite accurate.

Your Chinese Astrological Zodiac Animal Sign is based on your Chinese Lunar Year of Birth. The Chinese New Year is movable and could start anywhere between 21st January and 20th February, depending upon the year.

If your Date of Birth falls into any of these below listed Chinese Lunar Years, then, because you are born in the Year of the Goat (or Sheep or Ram), you are symbolically identified as a "Goat or Sheep or Ram" :

From 13 Feb 1907 to 01 Feb 1908
From 01 Feb 1919 to 19 Feb 1920
From 17 Feb 1931 to 05 Feb 1932

Here are the Annual Forecasts and suggested Fengshui & Crystal Remedies that you may need for the coming "New Year 2006 : Bing Xu, the Year of the Yang Red Fire Dog" :

CAREER :
Not a stable year for career. Some of you will gain substantially while many others may fall from grace. If you can be patient, co-operative and flexible, you can get through and even grow in power. If you are bold, brave and unyielding, you will face hidden dangers and concealed cheats that could land you in situations leading to brawls, back-biting, scandals and lawsuits. Poor judgements in professional life and internal politics in office would end up in serious domestic crisis. Do not switch jobs and do not plan any expansions. But accept more responsibilities when they come and execute them to the best of your abilities, without worrying about the credits due to you. You would be better off acting conservatively rather than aggressively, right now. You will get your recognition and rewards, in time. Females will fare much better than the males. Wear an Amethyst Pendant and display the combined icon of Dragon & Phoenix alongwith the Rooster icon in the North.

You are in punishment formation with the Tai Sui this year, so display the statue of a Three Generations Dragon Head Turtle alongwith a photograph of the presiding Year Authority of 2006 in the North West, to minimise the negativities of gossips and scandals. You should also wear a Fengshui Rabbit Pendant or place the statue of a Rabbit in the East. (The position of Tai Sui corresponds to North West this year. Tai Sui is also popularly called as Grand Duke of Jupiter and is an intangible energy body of war-like nature that should not be disturbed.)

MONEY :
Cashflow will just trickle in. Some of you could make irregular but spectacular monetary gains through timely and exclusive tips from influential people. Big expenses and high money loss are in store. You may have to spend a lot of money on health bills. Finding more financial resources will be the top job. Plant a Citrine or Red Cornelian Crystal Tree in the North. Plan your budget stringently and save anything that you can.

HEALTH :
Average health. Don't let your worries dominate your health. Sleep and rest well. Relax and meditate when you can. Some of you may get foot and throat problems.

LOVE :
Mixed luck here too. Be careful when you deal with your spouse. No arguments please. Spend quality time with your dear ones. Good mutual communication is a must, even if you are travelling. If you wish, install a pair of pink Mandarin Ducks in the South West of your bedroom.

Beneficial Crystal : Lapis Lazouli, for 2006

Good Relationship with : Rabbit, Horse & Pig, for 2006

Conflict with : Rat, Ox & Dog, for 2006

Yin/Yang : Yin

A NOTE ABOUT REMEDIES :

Annual Forecasts & Fengshui Remedies for 2006 : Year of the Yang Red Fire Dog - for Dog Sign

From 10 Feb 1910 to 29 Jan 1911
From 28 Jan 1922 to 15 Feb 1923
From 14 Feb 1934 to 03 Feb 1935
From 02 Feb 1946 to 21 Jan 1947
From 18 Feb 1958 to 07 Feb 1959
From 06 Feb 1970 to 26 Jan 1971
From 25 Jan 1982 to 12 Feb 1983
From 10 Feb 1994 to 30 Jan 1995

If you are in creative, advertising, writing or entertainment industry, you would progress greatly. Even otherwise, your path will be much smoother and results much faster. If you are posted abroad or simply travel overseas, look out for new money-making opportunities. You have to watch out for back-stabbing from people close to you. Be clear in your communications and clear any misunderstandings immediately. Focus on your long term goals, work hard, implement your good ideas, ignore provocations and preserve your patience. You are now better equipped to face challenges - face them bravely. You will finally get your recognition and reward. After getting them, be humble. Wear a Lapis Lazouli Crystal Pendant to take right decisions at the right time. If you are interested in part-time studies, go ahead, it will bring you sure success in the coming years.

You are offending the Tai Sui this year, so display the statue of a Three Generations Dragon Head Turtle alongwith a photograph of the presiding Year Authority of 2006 in the North West, to minimise the negativities of gossips and scandals. You should also wear a Fengshui Rabbit Pendant or place the statue of a Rabbit in the East. (The position of Tai Sui corresponds to North West this year. Tai Sui is also popularly called as Grand Duke of Jupiter and is an intangible energy body of war-like nature that should not be disturbed.)

MONEY :
Reasonably good money luck. But you will have a tough time in guarding it though. Beware of large expenses, especially of health, shifting and vehicle maintenance. Spend conservatively and avoid risky high-interest deposits. Invest in health insurance. Keep off gambling and money markets.

HEALTH :
A lot of minor health problems related to abdomen, digestion, endocrine and respiratory systems. Some of you may end up with minor cuts and burns. Accidents could happen while travelling, resulting in minor injuries. Mental and physical stress could lead to sleeplessness. Meditate and excercise. You can also try and pre-empt the above by donating blood and having your teeth cleaned by a dentist. Minimise the health issues by hanging a large sized original, natural Chinese Kalabash, in your bedroom, over your head.

LOVE :
Reasonble romantic luck this year. But be wary of fresh decisions though. Many of you will marry and settle down. But the romeos should be careful of over-spending their energies : they may live to regret later. Enjoy yourself, but don't cross the limits. If you are married, spend a lot of quality time with your spouse and family. Communicate freely and wisely. Do not allow misunderstandings to expand, but clear the conflicts immediately, then and there.

Beneficial Crystal : Red Jasper, for 2006

Good Relationship with : Tiger, Rabbit & Horse, for 2006

Conflict with : Dragon, Goat & Rooster, for 2006

Yin/Yang : Yang

Basics of Western Astrology Explained

Introduction
This article covers the basics of Astrology and how they are inter-related. Astrology is defined as 'the art or practice of determining the supposed influences of the planets and their motions on human affairs and human disposition'. From this practice a horoscope can be produced - a diagram (or chart) of the relative positions of planets and signs of the Zodiac at a specific time, usually the time of birth. A forecast can then be produced.

The Zodiac
Western Astrology originated way back, around 500 BC, with a concept called the Zodiac being developed. This comprised of an imaginary sphere surrounding the earth, which followed the path of the Sun through the constellations during the year. The Zodiac was split into twelve sections, each named after the specific constellation noted in that area.

Elements
Many ancient philosophies used a set of classical elements to explain the way nature behaved. Each sign was connected to one of the classical elements (fire, earth, air, or water) and was also related to a region of focus; social, personal or universal.

* Water signs are related to growth processes, identification and emotion. In tandem with the other elements, water feels that fire will make it boil, air will evaporate it, but earth will shape and channel it.

* Fire signs are related to action, passion, and energy. In tandem with the other elements, fire feels that earth will smother it, water will drown it, but air will fan and enliven it.

* Air signs are related to thought, perspective and communication. In tandem with the other elements, air feels that water will obscure it, earth will suffocate it, but fire will inspire and uplift it.

* Earth signs are related to sensation, stability, and practicality. In tandem with the other elements, earth feels that air will dry it, fire will dry it, but water will refresh and nourish it.

Modalities
Each sign is connected to one of three modalities; cardinal (sometimes referred to as movable), fixed, and mutable.

There are four quadrants following the order of the zodiacal signs, with three signs in each. Each quadrant describes a season, beginning with a cardinal sign, continuing to a fixed sign, and ending with a mutable sign.

Modalities and Related Zodiac Signs

Mutable signs are related to adaptability, resourcefulness and holism. They are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
Fixed signs are related to determination, focus and individuality. They are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
Cardinal signs are related to creativity and initiation. They are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.

Summary of Zodiac Sign Characteristics

Aries (cardinal, fire, personal): defensive, energetic, head down, assertive, impulsive.
Taurus (fixed, earth, personal): patient, indulgent, resourceful, thorough, devoted.
Gemini (mutable, air, personal): quick, logical, inquisitive.
Cancer (cardinal, water, personal): clinging, protective, sensitive.
Leo (fixed, fire, social): theatrical, generous, proud.
Virgo (mutable, earth, social): critically, practical, efficient.
Libra (cardinal, air, social): lazy, co-operative, fair.
Scorpio (fixed, water, social): anxious, passionate, sensitive.
Sagittarius (mutable, fire, universal): careless, free, straightforward.
Capricorn (cardinal, earth, universal): suspicious, prudent, cautious.
Aquarius (fixed, air, universal): detached, democratic, unconventional.
Pisces (mutable, water, universal): distracted, imaginative, sensitive.

How Tarot Cards Can Help You... Really!

What Are Tarot Cards?
Made up of no less than seventy-eight cards, each deck of Tarot cards are all the same. Tarot cards come in all sizes with all types of artwork on both the front and back - some even make their own Tarot cards. The meaning and the message of each one of those seventy-eight cards, however, always remains the same.

Tarot cards were first used by the Celtic people more than two thousand years ago. Many believe that Tarot cards serve only to tell the future, but this is not true. When used traditionally, Tarot cards speak of the past and present, and are supposed to give clues and ideas about the future that you are potentially heading into.

What's In the Cards?
Tarot cards are made up of four suits - much like any regular deck of cards. In fact, Tarot cards have all the same values as traditional playing cards: ace through king for each suit. Only one extra card is added to the royal family in Tarot cards - the squire, his position is just under that of the knave (also known as the jack).

The suits are as follows: wands, which in general speak of esoteric issues such as spirituality or creativity; swords, which speak of conflicts and tensions; cups (or pentacles), which are always about money; and cups, which deal in relationship matters and love. The other twenty-two cards of the standard Tarot deck are called the Major Arcana cards, and are all very specific. Cards such as the Devil, the Tower, and Death are in the Major Arcana.

How Could a Tarot Card Reading Actually Help Me?
When done traditionally, a Tarot card reading can put everything into perspective in a clear and understandable way. Every Tarot card reading is prefaced by a question, one that you do not have to reveal to your Tarot card reader but that you keep to yourself. Each card will come up in the past, present, or future position and will shed some light on the topic of your question.

Whether or not you believe in spiritual or esoteric things, or even in the art of telling the future, a Tarot card reading can help you better understand your own thoughts. You'll realize potentially dangerous patterns in your life, and get a better understanding of self. Even the question that you ask in your mind can help you understand something about yourself, and in this way a Tarot card reading can truly help you.

Can Anyone Read Tarot Cards, Or Do I Have To Call Someone or Go Online?
Anyone can learn how to read Tarot cards. There are many books available, both in online and physical bookstores that will tell you the meaning and message of each and every card. Every card in Tarot has a card-specific meaning, and a message or warning. The good news is, there's no secret about what these cards mean to convey - so you, too, can learn how to read the Tarot.

Once you know the meaning of the cards (and it's not something you have to memorize; it's perfectly okay to keep notes by you when you try to give yourself a Tarot card reading), you can read the Tarot for yourself or for others. Any book you read about the Tarot will explain the spreads to use - the way to lay the cards out to understand their meaning and placement in the scheme of your question.

An Ancient Mystery
Tarot cards are more ancient than religion. Tarot cards are older than most languages and most writing, and yet they are still around and are still being used today the exact same way they were used thousands of years ago. If Tarot cards didn't help people, why would they still be used and still be so popular?
