Special Notes on the Fortune in the Year of the Goat

1. Triple ConflictsThis year, the Triple Conflicts fall on the West. It is

most unlucky to have construction outside the house in the West or interior decoration work in the West grid of the house (a house is divided in 9 grids for Feng Shui purpose). Such works would bring poor health or accidents to the family. You can resolve the external Construction Conflict with the 5-Element Setup (outlined in the coming sections). In case you need to have some decoration or construction work done in the West grid of your house, you should start from the Northwest or Southwest end first. Then work towards the centre of the West grid. You can minimize the conflicting energy this way.

2. Presiding godThis year, the presiding god is in the Southwest. It is

also unlucky to have construction work in the direction of the presiding god as your family members would argue all the time and they would get sick. You can resolve with the same methods mentioned in the last paragraph on Triple Conflicts.

3. The direction in conflict with the presiding god

As the presiding god sits on the Southwest, the direction in conflict with Him would be the Northeast. And it is also not advisable to have construction works in that direction. If you have to get some construction done, start on the either end of the grid and work towards the centre of the grid to minimize the conflicting energy.

4. Wu Huang 五黃This year, the star of major sickness Wu Huang falls

in the West grid. If your main door, or kitchen, or bedroom falls in the West grid of your house, your family (especially male members) would have respiratory problems (e.g. in the throat or trachea) and aching bones easily. Again, it’s not

-17-

Yo u r F AT E i n 2 0 1 5T h e Y e a r o f t h e GOAT

advisable to have construction or interior decoration work done in the direction of Wu Huang as such activities tend to boost its sick energy. If you have to get some work done, start from either end of West grid and work towards to the centre of the grid.

Main door in the West grid: To resolve the sick energy, you can use a grey door mat and place a small piece of copper metal beneath it. If the sickness persists, you can put a conventional music box and hang wind chimes at the door.

Kitchen in the West grid: Wu Huang coinciding with the kitchen causes the most trouble because Wu Huang is Earth while the kitchen is Fire in nature. As Fire generates Earth, the kitchen would worsen the sickness caused by Wu Huang. To resolve, put a conventional music box next to the stoves and hang wind chimes on the kitchen cabinet doors. Put a grey door mat at the kitchen door and place a piece of copper metal beneath it. You can also put more water in the kitchen to overcome the Fire energy.

Bedroom in the West grid: You can use the same method outlined in the above cases as remedy.

You should also avoid interior decoration work in the West grid of the house this year as Wu Huang shows up in that direction. But this does not apply to apartments you haven't moved in, in which case interior decoration is okay.

5. Er Hei 二黑This year the star of minor sickness Er He falls in

the Southeast. It brings abdominal, gastrointestinal and respiratory problems to the female owner especially (or the owner’s wife) and older women in the family. You can resolve the conflict with the same method mentioned in the last section on Wu Huang. Once again, avoid any construction or interior decoration work in this direction as it boosts the negative energy of Er He. If you need to get some construction work done in that grid, start from the South or East end of the grid and work towards the Southeast.
