016

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

most unlucky to have construction outside the house in the East or interior decoration work in the East 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 East grid of your house, you should start from the Northeast or Southeast end first. Then work towards the centre of the East grid. You can minimize the conflicting energy this way.

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

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

3. The direction in confl icts with the presiding godAs the presiding god sits on the West, the direction

in conflict with Him would be the East. And it is also not advisable to have construction works in that direction. If you have to get some construction done, start from 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 South grid. If your main door, or kitchen, or bedroom falls in the South grid of your house, your family (especially

Special Notes on the Fortune in the Year of the Rooster

017

Your FATE in 2017The Year of theRooster雞

male members) would have respiratory problems (e.g. in the throat or trachea) and aching bones easily this year. The star also brings gastrointestinal ailments, though to a lesser extent. Again, it’s not 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 South grid and work towards to the centre of the grid to minimize the negative impact of conflicting energy.

Main door in the South 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 South 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 South grid: You can use the same method outlined in the above cases as remedy.

You should also avoid interior decoration work in the South 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 Hei falls in

the Northwest. 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

018

section on Wu Huang. Once again, avoid any construction or interior decoration work in this direction as it boosts the negative energy of Er Hei. If you need to get some construction work done in that grid, start from the edge of the grid and work towards the centre.

6. The Rooster is offending the presiding godAll Roosters are said to offend the presiding god

this year. They are likely to be in bad mood and have poor human relationships. Those 12-year-old Roosters would feel restless and become emotionally unstable. Those 24-year-old Roosters would face changes in romantic terms, and are likely to get injured and sick. Pay extra attention to your lower back, lungs, bones, limbs, liver and gall bladder. You’re most susceptible to injuries and sickness in Lunar February and Lunar August when you’re advised to donate blood or get your teeth cleaned by a dentist to pre-empt such destined bloodshed. Feel free to go on a trip abroad in Lunar August to further resolve the bad luck. Those with Cold predisposition should go to the South or the East while those with Hot predisposition should go to the North or the West. Those with Neutral predisposition may go anywhere, but going North or West would complement your predisposition better. Besides donating blood regularly to minimize the risk of injury or sickness, Feng Shui setup at home also helps – just put a bucket of water in the centre grid of your house. Those 36 and 48-year-old Roosters would feel pessimistic and restless. You’d think of the worst case scenario all the time. You should also travel in Lunar August to put yourself in better moods and donate blood or get your teeth cleaned by a dentist in Lunar February. Those 60-year-old Roosters should pay more attention to their health. All those offending the presiding god would encounter many changes, such as moving home or office, travelling, getting married, breaking up or giving birth to children etc. From Feng Shui’s point of view, one joyful event pre-empts three mishaps-to-be. Having no joyful event means gossips and arguments come your way.
