The Year of the Ox is
fast approaching and now is the time to get ready for
the annual energies that will be visiting your home in
2009.
2009 is the
year of OX. The intellectual Chinese ancestor watched
the paths of the stars in generations, and concludes a
useful formula to describe the main character of the
year. The ancient master used the ten heaven branches
and twelve earth branches (which are also referred as
the twelve zodiacs) that combine five elements of this
universe. Every year is a match of one heaven branch and
earth branch, and sixty years is a basic time cycle. In
the coming year of 2009, the earth branch is zodiac ox,
which belongs to earth element; the heaven branch is JI,
which belongs to earth element; and the Nayin of the
year belongs to fire.
In the year of Ox, the star
Nine Purple locates in the center, it means this star is
the emperor of the Ox year contemporary. In period of
star Eight White (2004-2023), star Nine Purple is
recognized as the future lucky star. Star Nine purple
belongs to fire element, and this star is in charge of
joyous event, such as romance and wealth. We can predict
that the coming year will have more happy events than
general. 2009 is the year of transition. For those who
are already in love, 2009 is the auspicious year for
planning marriage.
Nonetheless, the fire accident will be an affair to be
cautioned about. Because right now it is the period of
Eight White, so star Eight White Stays in the central
palace too. One of the manifestations of Star Eight
White is mountain, and the encounter of star Eight White
and star Nine Purple will easily cause fire especially
wild fire. We would suggest people to be very careful of
these problems. People also need to be aware of diseases
that may associate with respiration system, oral system
(like teeth) and bones.
Different from the year star One White (water element)
in 2008, Fire element of the coming year star has the
tendency of rising upward, electronic industry (like
computer, electric power), entertainment industry and
cosmetic industry will be very beneficial, even the
stocking market will recover and ignite some new passion
next year.
The Chinese Lunar Year of
2009 is called as Ji Chou - the Year of the Yin Brown
Earth Ox or Bull or Buffalo. In a sense, as Yin implies
Female, some Chinese Astrologers prefer to call it as
the Year of the Female Brown Earth Cow. It is also the
Sixth Year in the New Fengshui Land Luck Cyclic Age of
8.
The Year of Ji Chou is an
extremely strong Yin Earth Year as both Ji as well as
Chou are of Yin Earth. Thus the analysis of the Five
Elements reveals 2009 as Yin Earth sitting over Yin
Earth. It means the elemental relationship of the year
is productive and not destructive, but it could also be
fiercely competitive.
2009 will be a demanding
year that will extract extra hard work and large
commitments but without proportional rewards.
Transformations, policy changes, conviction politics
will mark the year distinctly. The hyperinflation will
continue haunting the world and the economic tsunami
will continue to ravage most of the countries. Public
anger will lead to strikes and demonstrations. Unrest,
general discontentment and social violence will be
visible strongly. 2009 will carry over the torch of
instability but will show signs of recovery dawn by the
year end. Prices of valuables, properties and stocks
will fall heavily but will try to limp back in the
second half of the year. However it is not all doom and
gloom for everybody. Wealth will be made like any other
year but it will be extremely tricky to retain it. More
and more people will resort to unethical tactics and
illegal short-cuts to gain quick money. Aggressive
competition will add fuel to fire, leading to open
confrontations, fraud exposures and legal mess. Business
people will indulge in staff poaching, unethical
acquisitions and forced mergers. Impulsive buying sprees
and unplanned budgets will be common, resulting in
financial chaos. Controlling the expenses will be a
tough challenge for one and all. Armed robbery and
religious conflicts will reach new high levels.
There will be more joyous
occasions to celebrate, like weddings and new births.
Business run by females will do better.
Inter-personal equations
will be stagnant and will deteriorate fast if tempers
are not controlled. Even time tested relationships will
lack passion. The slightest provocation will collapse
even solid harmony. Newly formed relationships will be
formal and will lack faith - if not, watch out for the
hidden skeletons.
Like in 2008, there will
be too many natural calamities and man-made disasters.
Water disasters (like contamination, floods, tsunamis,
river banks overflowing, submergence, water pollution,
oil spills) and fire hazards (like volcanic eruptions,
bush fire, earth quakes, land slides, wild forest fires,
terrorist bombings) will be on the increase. Electrical
storms, overloads and blackouts are also possible. There
could also be a lot of building collapses. Traffic
accidents, disasters in construction sites and incidents
like falling from high places will be quite common.
Environmental issues like
global warming and saving earth will top the agendas of
many countries and many new initiatives will be taken.
Measures to improve farming and agriculture will be
pursued vigorously. The year will see many notable
technological breakthroughs and also advances in medical
science.
The year will see the
youth take over the reins from the old. Rulers will
consolidate and slowly start the painful process of
rebuilding and peace-making. Leaders will make a sincere
attempt to come together to resolve issues.
Health problems
pertaining to stomach (indigestion, meat contamination,
food poisoning, diarrhea, etc.) and heart will be high.
There will be increasing cases of diabetes and cancer
with weight reduction becoming the highest debated
issue. Succumbing to contagious illness will be more.
There will be more birthing problems this year.
Homosexuality will make
it to the news again and new rules and regulations will
be made for them.
Fluctuating financial
markets and volatile stock markets will fail to inspire
confidence but the investors will learn to live with it
by being cautious and conservative. In general, there
will be high competition and low demands. Industries and
trades that are expected to do well are : Finance, Food,
Beverage & Eateries, Lotteries, Energy &
Windmills, Office and Home Appliances, Nano Technology,
Entertainment, Information Technology, Security,
Environmentally Sensitive Gadgets and Energy Saving
Devices. Travels, Tourism and Textiles will slow down
considerably. Fields that might not do well are :
Properties and Construction, Engineering, Shipping and
Airlines, Minerals and Mining, Jewellery, Automobiles,
Arts, Advertising and Insurance.

- Avoid sitting facing the grand duke or disturbing
him by having renovations.

location in conflict.
The two most important
and challenging energies to be aware of and remedy are
the very challenging 5 yellow, symbolizing obstacles and
misfortune located in the North and the challenging
sickness energy of the 2 in the West. The energy of the
5 is the most negative energy of all the flying stars
and you will need to use a brass
metal wind chime in the North sector of the
garden and metal bells in
the North sector of your home. Hang them on a door or
drawer that is used regularly to help suppress this
negative energy and avoid the colour red in the North
area for 2009.
The number 2 flying star
represents sickness and you will need a brass
calabash and/or Six Chinese
coins located in the West sector of the house for
2009. These are to aid in absorbing the negative
sickness energy. Be extra careful if your main door is
located in the North or the West sector in 2009.
The Grand Duke this year
is in the North East whilst the Three Killings is
located in the East, hence it is not favourable to
"move earth" or make substantial construction
work in these sectors. It is also not recommended for
one to sit with back against North East as you will be
sitting against the unfavourable energy. If this is
unavoidable place a Dragon
Tortoise facing North East as it is said to
appease the Grand Duke. The Pi Xiu
can also be used for this purpose.
The positive energies of
the 8 and 9 are located in the South East and the centre
of the house so if your front door or bedroom is located
here you may find good opportunities coming your way for
2009 in improve your wealth, health and/or
relationships.
