Are you ready for the 2026- 27 "Russet Horse and Red Ram Disasters 赤馬紅羊劫"?

According to the Chinese 60-years cycle calendar, 2026 is the year of "russet horse" or the year with the strongest yang (masculine) fire energy.  2027 is the year of "red ram" or the year with the strong yin fire energy.  Because according to history, major natural and man-made disasters like flooding, fire, revolution, wars and the likes tend to happen during these two strong fire energy years  (e.g., 1846, 1906, 1966, 2026).  Chinese has called these two years "Russet Horse and Red Ram Disasters 赤馬紅羊劫". 

There are numerous videos on YouTube warning us about the upcoming of these "disaster" years with the following sensational titles:

-- "Russet Horse and Red Ram Years:  Blessing or Disasters?"

-- "Russet Horse and Red Ram: Years of Major Disturbance?"

-- "2026 Bing-Wu year:  Collapse of World Order...."

-- "Russet Horse and Red Ram Years Predictions: Political Instability and Frequent Natural Disasters"

-- "The Thousand Years Old Curse: Russet Horse and Red Ram Disasters-- Gigantic Global Changes"

-- "2026 is a trap:  Many People Will not Survive"

And more.

Insurance salesmen would love to see these videos get many views.  People may be scared and pump up their life insurance or purchase extra protection like earthquake, flooding, tornado and fire.

Should we lose sleep over these sensational videos?

The answer is both "yes" and "no".

"Yes" because of history shows whenever the fire energy of a year is strong, the world goes berserk.  Recent development in world politics also points to this direction--  jungle law and gunboat diplomacy resurface, trade war and real wars, mass political movements, mass layoffs due to AI, current icy weather and ....... 

"No" because we, as "ordinary people", there is not much we can do to change or resist global or macro changes.  All we can do are sit tight and "hope for blessing 自求多福".  "Blessing" or "Fuk 福" is a very low key request in Chinese.  It means "let one live his/ her life peacefully".  There is even a "God of Blessing" to handle this job.

Hence, a modest request for "blessing" is much easier to get from the "God of Blessing" than asking for hitting the lottery jackpot.  From the deity's perspective, any request that does little to change any destiny is easier to grant.  Believe me, deities are eager to please us mortals within their limits.

Below is a consecrated picture of "God of Blessing".  You may print it out in ID card size and carry with you for protection,  put it where you spend long hours or put it in your altar for worshipping.  

Based on the law of energy exchange,  you cannot get something out of nothing.  Please do an act of kindness (like feeding a homeless animal or helping a senior citizen) or make a small donation to charity to activate this "God of Blessing".

Feng Shui warning signs for upcoming misfortune/ disasters

When a family has an upcoming misfortune like separation, severe illness, losing wealth, legal problem, accident or the like, the Feng Shui of their house likely shows some unusual warning signs.  If you can decode these signs ahead of time and make remedies, you may avoid or mitigate the severity of the misfortune.

Below are some common Feng Shui warnings of approaching misfortune:

1.  Heaven shows movements and noises:  "Heaven" here means your ceiling or items attached to ceiling, such as lamps and decorations, suddenly shaking or making noises.  This is especially serious if the noises are from the objects in the SW and NE side.  This signals the seniors in the house will have misfortune or ancestors' tombs are being "clashed" by negative energy.

2.  Earth rots and changes:  "Earth" here means the ground or floor of your house shows rotten or strange smell or rising up or caving in.  This also includes objects put on the floor.  It implies the person occupies this room or person matching the bagua location may have major sickness or disaster, like if this in SE, the elder daughter may be in trouble.

3.  Breaking or cracking windows and doors:  If the windows, doors or wall suddenly have cracks or broken, it is the signal of losing wealth, quarrel or separation.

4.  Abnormal animal and insect behaviors:  The house suddenly invaded by bugs or hearing strange noises made by animals outside or house pet suddenly died-- these are signs of "yin" or spirit disturbance.  This is the warning signal about family members may have upcoming disaster or acute sickness.

5.  Water pipe leaking water suddenly without cause:  this is advanced warning for losing wealth and woman illness. 

6.  Wilting plants:  Indoor plant and/ or outdoor plants wilted or died overnight.  This is a warning of family member may have upcoming accident or disaster.

Common remedy for the above is repair and replace broken or damaged items immediately.  Remove or clean the offending items.   Another remedy is:  be extra careful when traveling and avoid taking risk and making major decisions for a while.  Performing some charitable deeds may help too.

Will "Year of Water Tiger" good for you?

Year of Water Tiger (ren-yin) has arrived.  Will it be good to you? 

EFFECTS OF YEAR OF WATER TIGER ON INDIVIDUALS

In terms of energy, water-tiger means strong wood energy.  Bazi astrology categories people in five energy profile groups-- metal, wood, water, fire and earth.  An individual's up and down or luck is the results of interaction between these primal energies and annual energy.  Below are luck predictions for these 5 groups of people for the year. 

Please check the appendix below if you do not know your energy profile or daymaster (DM) element.

LUCK PREDICTIONS ATTRIBUTED TO STRONG WOOD ENERGY

1.  Metal daymaster:  Wood to a metal DM are wealth, father, wife/ mistress (to male).  Strong wood energy, if favorable to the chart,  means better wealth and romance luck; if negative, means losing wealth/ father, affair, wife or girl friend being "snatched" away by close friends.

2.  Wood daymaster:  Wood to a wood DM are siblings, peers, friends, partnership, cooperation and competitions.  Strong wood energy, if favorable to the chart, means better wealth luck and cooperation; if negative, means sickness, losing wealth or wife.

3.  Water daymaster:  Wood to a water DM are talent, IQ, junior generation, subordinates, expression, showmanship, wealth source and children (to female).  Strong wood energy, if favorable to the chart,  means better artistic/ self-expression/ wealth/ mentor/ culinary luck, using one's talent to produce wealth,  if unfavorable,  it means losing husband (for female), poverty and sickness.

4.  Fire daymaster:  Wood to a fire DM are mother, senior generation, academic achievement, protection, nurturing, real estate, reputation, and document,  Strong wood energy, if favorable to the chart,  means better mentor luck, buying real estate and academic advancement; if unfavorable,  it means DM toiling with no leisure time.

5.  Earth daymaster:  Wood to an earth DM are superior, senior generation, career, power, fame, restriction, punishment, lawsuit and husband/ lover (to female).  Strong wood energy, if favorable to the chart,  means better career luck,  better romance luck for female; if unfavorable,  it means losing job, lawsuit, sickness and affair (for female).

Consult a Bazi reader or take the following course if you want to know if wood or any element is favorable or unfavorable to you.

The above predictions are "generic" in nature because a more accurate prediction needs to take in the consideration of other elements of individual Bazi chart. 

Now comes to more serious problems that some people may have.  If your Bazi chart has the following pillars in any position:

• Bing-shen
• Wu-shen

These 2 pillars are "fan-yin" on battling with current ren-yin year of water tiger.  These are serious clashes especially if it is your day pillar (this means YOU or your spouse get the hit!).  It will be 3x negative if your chart also contains Si-snake (forms Yin-si-shen 3-penalties).  I suggest you go get the advice of a Bazi reader or take these courses:

WHICH MONTHS ARE MORE CRITICAL?

The intense effects, whether positive or negative, in both societal and individual levels, are likely to surface within this current tiger month due to its concentration of tiger or wood energy (Feb. 4- March 5, 2022).  People with monkey Chinese zodiac animal sign should avoid travel and be extra cautious when driving during this tiger month.

The next intensive month is likely be Monkey month (August 7 to Sept. 6, 2022), the seventh month of the solar year.  This is because monkey (metal energy) clashes tiger (wood energy) in the Chinese Zodiac.  Year energy clashes with month energy. People with tiger or monkey animal sign should be cautious during travel or driving in this month of monkey.

In search of misfortune and dangerous years in Bazi

Today is your lucky day to find many unlucky scenarios that you do not want to see in your Bazi chart.

The conditions listed below usually signal serious misfortunes like accidents, surgery, severe illness, losing major wealth or even death to the daymaster of a chart or his/ her close family members:

1.  10-years-luck and annual luck fu-yin (identical pillars, 岁运并临):  This could mean death to DM or his relatives or relatives facing obstacles.  However, if the fu-yin elements are zheng-guan, zheng-yin or zheng-cai (+power, +resource, +wealth), misfortune may not happen.

2.  Fan-yin or clashing any pillar in natal chart by luck pillar/s (天克地冲 ):  

• DM's father or mother suffers or even dies when luck period clashing month or year pillar
• Wife suffers misfortunes when clashing day branch a
• Children suffer misfortunes when clashing hour pillar.

3.  Three-penalties are clashed (三刑受冲):  Penalties itself means danger.  It is even more dangerous when clashed.  Whichever palace is clashed implies the events and relatives represented by that palace may suffer misfortune or even death.

4.  Two groups of 3-penalities (两组三刑):  Natal chart, 10-years-luck and annual luck form two groups of penalties penalized each other.  This stands for major disaster and death is unavoidable.

5.  Two formations battle each other (两局相克):  Natal chart, 10-years-luck and annual luck form two formations battling each other.  For example, shen-zi-chen water formation battles si-wu-wei fire formation.  This stands for major disaster and death is unavoidable. 

6.  Three versus 1 (以三制一):  Natal chart, 10-years-luck and annual luck form 3 branches clashing 1 branch, 3 branches penalizing 1 branch, 3 stems controlling one stem and 3 stems combing one stem-- all these stand for major misfortune.

7.  "Pian-yin snatching shi-shen" (枭神夺食, -resource snatches -output):  DM becomes weak or sick or death occurs in his family when luck periods bring "pian-yin snatching shi-shen".

8.  Meeting of shang-guan, yang-knife and void (伤、刃、空重叠):  Accident, misfortune water/fire disasters and death may occur, especially if DM is weak.

9.  Qi-sha is clashed (七煞逢冲 ):  Pian-guan or -power with no resource (yin) in chart is called qi-sha.  Qi-sha is a vicious star attacking DM.  If qi-sha is unfavorable and is clashed with no cure/combination or Nobleman to help, DM is a ferocious person and likely died of violence.

10.  Family members entombed (六亲入墓 ):  Tomb means tomb-storage and also grave.  "Jinx" below means disaster and misfortune occurred to the person being jinxed.

• Male DM jinxes children and female jinxes husband when annual luck with power star (zheng-guan) entombed.  
• Male DM jinxes wife when annual luck with +wealth star (zheng-cai) entombed.   
• Both male and female DM jinx father when annual luck with -wealth star (pian-cai) entombed.
• Both male and female DM jinx mother when annual luck with +resource star (zheng-yin) entombed.
• Female jinxes children when annual luck with output star (shang-guan/ shi-shen) entombed.  

11.  Yang-knife accumulation (羊刃会聚):  Disasters and misfortunes come when luck period brings more yang-knives (+peer or jie-cai), especially if DM is strong.

12.  Clashing yang-knife (羊刃倒戈):  Yang-knife dislikes clash or combination, especially being clashed by Grand Duke (annual luck).  This stands for major disasters and violent death.
