Recharge and Reboot your Feng Shui luck for the Year of Ox

2021 YEAR OF OX

SOLAR VS. LUNAR NEW YEAR

Some people are confused by the Solar New Year and Chinese Lunar New Year.  Solar calendar is based on the relative location of sun to the earth.  Solar New Year day is pretty consistently arriving on around February 4th and sometimes on the 3rd (立春 Spring begins or Li-chun).  Feng Shui, QMDJ, Bazi and many Chinese metaphysics systems are based on the solar calendar.  For 2021 Year of Ox, the Solar New Year will start at 23:01 on February 3.

The Chinese Lunar Calendar is based on the relative location of the moon to the earth.  The Lunar New Year day changes every year.  Chinese New Year celebration is based on the lunar calendar.  For 2021 Year of Ox, the Chinese Lunar New Year will start on February 12.

RECHARGE AND REBOOT FENG SHUI LUCK

2020 Year of Rat has been a tough year for most earthlings due to the pandemic.  Finally, the long anticipated Year of Ox will arrive at 11:01 pm on February 3, 2021.  Here are something you can do before the new year arrives to enhance your luck

"Recharge" means replenishing the qi or energy of your house after a year of operation.  "Reboot" means restarting a new Feng Shui process because you feel your luck is less than satisfactory or even horrible.

Below are methods to recharge or reboot the Feng Shui energies of your house in the last day of the lunar year.

RECHARGE HOUSE FENG SHUI (do these in last day of the lunar year)
1.  Do a house cleaning, remove/ replace or repair broken or damaged items.

2.  Cut or remove dead leaves/ branches of any house plants.  If you want to add new plants, new year eve or new year day is the best time to do it.

3.  Move your Feng Shui animals like ki-lun, calabash, coins-salt water, water fountain and the like to the locations for the Year of Ox (see my previous post on Grand Duke for exact locations).  Do this part on Feb. 3, before 23:01.

REBOOT HOUSE FENG SHUI
Do the #1- 3 in the "Recharge house Feng Shui" section, PLUS:
1.  At the last night of the year, turn on all the lights in the house and let it on until morning.
2.  Find any portable light source (LED lights, light beam and the light) to illuminate/ flash any dark space/ corner in your house, including the underside of your bed, to drive out negative or dark energies.
3.  At mid-night (00:01), turn on any fans, open all windows and doors to force all indoor qi (energy of the Year of Rat) out of the house and draw in new year energy (do NOT do this if your luck is good in 2020).  Close the doors and windows when you feel the air inside your house is fresh.   If you live in a cold region, you can light incenses or sage to fume the house instead. 
4.  If you feel your personal luck was very bad in the Year of Rat, you can cleanse your aura by having another person sweeping sage or incense smoke around your body.  Alternatively, you can light a bonfire and have your own family sit around the fire to cleanse the aura of your whole family.

"ROBBING" THE WEALTH ENERGY OF A BANK

Water also symbolizes wealth in Chinese belief and Feng Shui.  On the second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year (Feb. 13, 2021), go to a bank of any financial institution with a small bottle, drink their free coffee/ mineral water (if available) and take a bottle of their water from their water cooler/ water fountain/ water tap home.  Pour this bank water into a bowl with a copper or silver coin in the bottom.  Then put this coin-water bowl in the wealth position of your home (search my blog for "wealth position") to enhance wealth.  You may do this on Feb. 12 if your local bank close on Saturdays.

"Ken, can I still use these methods if I miss the last day of the year?"

Yes, wait 360+ days till Feb. 1, 2022 for the Year of Tiger to do it.  But you can still use these methods in any day for cleansing.  The effects are just not as potent as doing it in the last day of the year.

Happy Year of Ox!

Bazi: Is 2021 Year of Metal-ox good or bad for you?

2021 Xin-chou (metal-ox) year will arrive next Feb. 3 at 23:01 pm.  According to the ancient "Mother Earth Classic", metal-ox year will be a much better year than 2020 metal-rat year.  Metal-ox year will have great harvests and no major natural disasters. But there will be some minor plagues.  

Chou-ox clashing wei-ram is wet earth clashing hot earth creating bigger or stronger earth.  In terms of likely illnesses induced due to this clash are digestive and skin related.

How about your Bazi luck?  Here I generically discuss the major chart features that would create fortunes misfortunes for people.  

BAZY CHART FEATURES THAT YOU SHOULD WORRY ABOUT IN 2021

People who were born in the year of Ram (1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015):  This means the year branch is clashed.  This is usually called "clashing Tai Sui or Grand Duke".

People who were born in 1955 (yi-wei, wood-ram) and 1967 (ding-wei, fire-ram):  This means the year pillar is fan-yin or the whole pillar is clashed from stem to branch. Parents or older relative may suffer.

Chart with yi-wei (wood-ram) or (ding-wei, fire-ram) in the month pillar:  This means the month pillar is fan-yin or the whole month pillar is clashed from stem to branch.  This usually jinxes the parents if chart owner (daymaster or DM) is under 60 years old.  If DM  is 60 or older, it has the possibility becoming the end signal of life because this is regarded as "clashing the dam".

Chart with yi-wei (wood-ram) or (ding-wei (fire-ram) in the day pillar:  This means the day pillar is fan-yin or the whole day pillar is clashed from stem to branch.   This means DM or DM's spouse may suffer major mishaps or separation.

Chart with yi-wei (wood-ram) or (ding-wei (fire-ram) in the hour pillar:  This means the hour pillar is fan-yin or the whole month pillar is clashed from stem to branch.   This means DM's children may suffer some mishaps.  If DM is female, she may suffer some reproductive related illnesses.

Chart already has wei-ram and xu-dog in the branches:  Adding this annual chou-ox will form a dreadful "3-penalties" to the system.  This is usually negative most of the time unless earth is favorable in the chart.  Serious illness or accident are more likely to DM's close relative or DM.

Chart with hai-pig and zi-rat AND or weak ding/ bing DM (or weak fire element in chart):  The addition of chou-ox forms a strong hai-zi-chou 3-meetings water combination that may extinguish the fire in the system.  This could be major fire-related illness (like heart or blood illness) or even death if this is a fire DM.

Chart with si-snake and you-rooster AND or weak jia/ yi DM (or weak wood element in chart):  The addition of chou-ox forms a strong si-you-chou 3-unities metal combination that may extinguish the wood in the system.  This could be major wood-related illness and accident (like liver/ gallbladder and traffic accident) or even death if this is a wood DM.

GOOD NEWS FOR CERTAIN GROUPS OF PEOPLE?

Chou-ox clashing wei-ram is not always negative.  It all depends on your Bazi chart composition.  Wei is the tomb or storage of wood element.  This fact gives some positive news for the following:

Metal DM (Geng and Xin-metal):  For metal DM, wei-earth is their wealth storage or tomb.  When it is "clashed open" by chou-earth, it could mean unlocking the hidden wealth s/he has.  Male metal DM has an extra bonus-- he or suddenly gets married after being single or widowed for ages.  This is due to wealth element also means spouse for male. 

Earth DM (Ji and Wu-earth):  For female earth DM, wei-earth is their power storage or tomb.  Power star stands for husband.  When it is "clashed open" by chou-earth, it could mean unlocking the hidden husband that she has and suddenly getting married after being single or widowed for ages.

Water DM (Wu and Gui-water):  For female water DM, wei-earth is her output storage or tomb.  Output star stands for children.  If this female DM has problem conceiving, she has better chance of giving birth to a baby this year  this "child storage" is "clashed open" by chou-earth.

Charts with earth being favorable:  (1). When wei-earth clashing chou-earth, it means more earth in the system.  It is positive for chart which likes earth.  But this clash may also clash open "dirty laundries" hidden in chou and wei-earth like illegitimate child or mistress too. (2)  If chart forms chou-xu-wei 3-penalties and earth is favorable, DM may get major promotion or becomes famous overnight.

Do not panic if your Bazi chart has the feature listed above because this discussion only looks at the effect of annual luck metal-ox and  does NOT take into consideration of the dynamic of your whole Bazi chart, especially the effect of your current 10-years-luck.   You need to consult a Bazi reader to ascertain if your chart has problems or great news this year.

If you want to enhance or fix for the above conditions, consult a Bazi reader or take my courses in:

“Destiny/Luck Mgmt. 2: Basic Bazi Therapy w/18 hr. HD video
“Destiny/Luck Mgmt. 3 w/ Advanced Bazi Therapy w/18 hr. HD video

If money is your problem, the most inexpensive fix would be getting a Grand Duke Talisman from your local Daoist Temple or see my previous post to get one.

Happy New Year!

"Crystal Ox" Gazing

I am running around China and Hong Kong in the last few weeks. In Hong Kong, I see over 20 "2009 Year of Ox" fortune-telling books. Most are simply based on the 12 Chinese zodiac animals to "predict" the 2009 luck of people, though some use Immortal Wong Tai Sin, QMDJ and Plum-Flower.

Publishers of these 2009 fortune-telling books always try to be the first ones in the market to grab the market share. Those who had published before the sub-prime mortgage crisis are likely to predict "business as usual" like the global economy will be great. The ones that are published after the financial crisis is exposed are likely to predict the economy will not be "optimistic" or "challenging".

It is interesting to see most writers of these fortune-telling books will "review" and brag about their 2008 predictions. They simply ignore what they had missed and just focused on the "hits". Everyone makes tons of predictions and some will "hit" the target for sure. Very often, predictions are phrased in vague terms like "not optimistic" or "challenging", it can always be treated as a "hit" no matter what has happened.

Today is your lucky day, you can publish your own "2010 Fortune Book" with the following tips about how the predictions are made:
1. based on stars of annual or Purple White chart
2. making interpretations based on the jia-zi (binomial) of the year. For example, 2009 is ji-chou or earth-ox year. One can tell a long story based on this jia-zi.
3. based on the animal nature of the year (e.g. 2008 is year of rat, some writers will make a big fuss out of the rat's nature)
4. based on shen-sha like Grand Duke, San-sha (3-killings) and the like
5. based on the writer's own divination using Plum Flower, Yi-Jing and the like
6. based on astrological stars
7. based on QMDJ charts
8. simply based on the gut-feeling of the writer!

You may use a combinations or all of the above to write your 2010 Fortune book. Send me 10% royalty if you can! All proceed will go to charity.
