1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021

The Ox has the Future Prosperity Star bringing a rising reputation and enhanced wealth luck into your life. Its presence also magnifies the energies of all your other auspicious stars which can culminate in some awesome things happening for you, so don’t let this lucky period go to waste! Unlock your good fortune by displaying the Nine Rank Badge Plaque in Royal Blue & Gold in the NE. But do watch out for your equally turbo-charged Loss Star. This threatens to spoil things for you and expose you to greater danger. In addition to annual cures, wear the Blue Hues Sacred Protection Scarf to reinforce protection. Having the Sky Porcupine in your living space helps overcome cosmic threats as well.

TIGER – Future Prosperity Luck But Watch For Loss
1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010

The Tiger’s luck prospects continue to be bright. Supported by the monthly #9 Star, you enjoy smooth progress in everything you do, as well as fame and recognition. There are opportunities to secure your future wealth and position, so go all out to make things happen. Place the Red Arowana in the NE to awaken the #9 Star’s auspicious energies. Be careful though. As a Magnification Star, the #9 worsens the effects of your resident #7, causing risk of money loss, robberies and betrayals to skyrocket. You could find your soaring reputation attracting all kinds of dishonest individuals. Continue keeping your guard up, especially around those you have just met. Place the Protection Peacock in the NE and carry Travel Protection Amulet to make this a fully positive month!

RABBIT – Relationships Brighten The Month
1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011

Attract the luck of good allies with the Cardinal Connectivity Activator Charms and display the Sky Dog in your living space. The #4 also brings romance luck. If looking to meet a good match, place the Peach Blossom Rat in the North. Strong scholastic luck helps students reach their academic goals. If preparing for exams, make sure to keep the Wisdom Pagoda with Scholastic Talisman close.

DRAGON – Misfortune Star Brings Obstacles
1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012

For the Dragon, this is a time to maintain the status quo. The Misfortune Star visiting your sector brings difficult obstacles and additional conflict into your life. In combination with your resident #3, it can really cause you a lot of trouble. You must have the Mini Emerald Pagoda in the SE and the Emerald Pagoda Amulet by your side to deflect any harmful chi headed your way. Wear more of the color white and don auspicious gold jewellery to exhaust the Earthly emanations of the #5 further. A challenging few weeks for those in relationships. Don’t allow the negative energies to come between you and your partner. Keep your love connection burning bright by placing the Love Vibrations Mirror in your bedroom.

SNAKE – Not The Month For Risks
1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013

The Five Yellow moves to the SE, casting misfortune energies the Snake’s way. Best to scale back on the activities and be more careful when it comes to your safety. Big changes in your life should be put on hold till next month when your luck improves. Injuries and accidents are also a concern, especially from using metal implements like knives and blades. Mitigate the vicious energies of the Five Yellow by displaying the Mini Emerald Pagoda in the SE and carrying the Emerald Pagoda Amulet. The #5 can aggravate the conflict chi brought by your resident #3 Star. Don’t let your frustrations get the better of you. Wear the Harmony Symbol Charm Bracelet to help you stay calm no matter the situation.

HORSE – Taking Top Podium
1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014

The Horse is up for a fantastic month when your talents have a remarkable chance of being acknowledged with a rise in rank and new opportunities. Stand out from the crowd by placing the Dragon Tortoise Ruyi on your desk. Some opportunities may involve a major shift in your life, but rest assured that all changes made now are for the better. Once you have decided on your course of action, stick to it as you are likely to reach the top if you keep on persevering! Those in business enjoy strong success indications. A good time to expand and diversify. Ensure you make all the right moves by displaying the Joyous Windhorse in the South and by carrying the Winning Vibrations Mirror.

SHEEP – Cures Needed Against Quarrelsome Star
1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015

The Sheep faces an uptick in conflict chi, which can wreak havoc on the relationships you have worked hard to nurture. Watch your words and your actions. Even if you do not mean to, you could end up rubbing people the wrong way. Others are more likely to challenge you, but winning does not come easily. It could even leave you worse off than before. Easier to remedy the hostile energies by displaying the Trinity of Apples in the SW and carrying the Friendships Vibrations Mirror. Dating and married Sheep must try harder to keep the peace at home. Place the Marriage Lock in your bedroom to keep your marriage strong amidst the conflict chi. Singles do much better focusing on their careers than on dating for now.

MONKEY – Stay Cool In The Face Of Conflict
1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016

The visiting Quarrelsome Star makes it a difficult month for the Monkey. You become more irritable and emotional, and this could negatively impact the relationships in your life. For some of you, it may even trigger a troublesome lawsuit. Try to be more patient and tactful with others. Avoid making a big deal out of small things as doing so will only put you on the losing end. Maintain your composure and bide your time. These vicious energies will pass soon enough. Minimize the impact of the #3 by carrying the Trinity of Apples Amulet and displaying the Red Prosperity Elephant in the SW of your home. Place the Flowers & Apples Ruyi on your desk to strengthen alliances at work and to protect against the risk of lawsuits.

ROOSTER – Wealth & Windfall Luck
1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017

The Rooster enjoys a great month with the Prosperity Star bringing wealth and windfall luck, as well as fabulous vibrations of happiness and contentment into your life. A good time to invest in the stock market or generate new income streams. Those in business will be doing well. Keep your foot on the pedal! New projects are slated to turn profits sooner than later, with strategic partnerships enjoying stunning success potential. Display the Choy San in the West and carry the Big Money Bull Amulet to spark big inflows of wealth. To activate for windfalls, keep the Windfall Luck Amulet close. Family ties continue to enjoy harmonious vibes. An auspicious month to carry out important events such as weddings and business launches.

DOG – Danger Of Scammers & Cheatsh
1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018

The Dog contends with the amalgamation of two very dangerous stars, so it is best that you aim for a low-key month. On top of your Misfortune Star, you also have the Loss Star enhancing the risk of robberies, betrayals and money loss. Keep a low profile and avoid gallivanting about town. Don’t trust anyone with your personal information, no matter how legit they may seem. Not a good time to invest your money. Use this time for planning instead. Safeguard your wealth by placing the Bat Lock Coin in the West. Shield against break-ins and getting cheated by carrying the Royal Elephant & Cosmic Rhino Amulet. Wear the Lunar Constellation Scarf to ensure you make all the right moves at the right time.

BOAR – Loss Star Threatens Safety
1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019

Malevolent energies from the monthly Loss Star threaten the Boar with robberies and betrayals. Not a good time to go out and socialize. Place the Anti Robbery Plaque in the NW to protect your home from intruders and wear the Anti Burglary Scarf when out and about to stay safe against snatch thieves and pickpockets. Competition at work can heat up and you could find yourself at risk of a bad reputation. Double check everything you do, as simple mistakes can easily be used to paint you in a bad light. Keep office politics at bay by carrying the 9 Dragon Kwan Kung Talisman. Invite the Three Friends of Winter with Deers into your home to improve your chances of thriving during this harsh period.

Ensure you have the Royal Elephant & Cosmic Rhino here, and if you spend a lot of time in this sector, fortify personal protection further by carrying the amulet version at all times. To transform misfortune into opportunities, place the Crystal Globe with Tree of Life here.

NORTH – Illness And Injuries
The North gets afflicted by the Illness Star #2 and because it is amplified by the #9, it is extremely strong and must not be taken lightly. Those living in North-facing homes or residing in North sector bedrooms may experience lower energy levels. The elderly or frail should avoid sleeping in North-located bedrooms this month. Counter the negative emanations of the #2 with the Medicine Buddha Plaque. Have the Three Friends of Winter in your home to boost resilience and to ward off illness vibes.

7

NORTHWEST – Danger in the NW
The energies of the NW are dangerous this month with the Loss Star #7 joining the annual Five Yellow. It is thus best to avoid using this sector altogether. This combination elevates the potential for misfortune and betrayals. Protect everyone at home by displaying the Anti-Burglary Plaque here. If your main door or bedroom is located here, or you are patriarch of your family, you should also wear the Heart Sutra With Black Onyx Bracelet, because afflictions in the NW affect the father or leader.
