Flying Star Analysis for 2011

2011 - Year of The Golden Rabbit February 3, 2011 - January 22, 2012 The "Yin Metal Rabbit"!

The Year of the Metal Rabbit 2011

The Year of the Metal Rabbit begins on February 4th, 2011. It should be clarified that the Solar New Year is based on the Hsia calendar or Solar Calendar beginning February 4, and the Chinese New Year celebrations are based on the Lunar Calendar which falls on the 14th February 2011. The Chinese acknowledge the yin and yang energies of each year; the yang (solar, masculine) new year, and celebrate the yin (lunar, feminine) new year

The year of the Metal Rabbit will be have many similar qualities as 2010.  It will be a very productive year, lots of new ideas, inventions, and discoveries. However, now we have Yin qualities - passive, internal, and receptive instead of the Yang energies of last year - active, expansive, energetic. The year of the Metal Tiger also triggered a Fire penalty for many people, bringing previously unknown illness to the surface and revealing enemies and problems.  Fortunately, the year of The Rabbit lacks the harsh and surprising qualities of 2010, but again we have a clash between two opposing elements. There will still be many conflicts, but they will be less obvious, less public.

The Rabbit is Yin Wood - flexible, compromising, and gentle.  The Rabbit is also a Romance Star, so we can expect to see alot of media attention (good and bad) focusing on love.  It certainly is perfect timing for Prince William to announce his engagement to Kate Middleton, the energetic beginning of the Rabbit year began in October 2010. Kate Middleton has a Rooster in her Four Pillars of Destiny which clashes with the Rabbit next year, stimulating her relationship to move to the next level. Read more about Kate Middleton in Your Four Pillars of Destiny below.

Yin Metal over Yin Wood in 2011 will be a boost for the movie, makeup, glamour, jewellery and fashion industries.  Any industries which involve celebrations such as wedding planners, events and party organisers will flourish in the Year of the Rabbit.  As the Annual Flying Star for 2011 is 7, communication industries such as IT will do well as 7 relates to the mouth/communication. Young women (20s-40s) will feature in the news and will rise or be promoted to top jobs this year. Teaching, singing, and acting will thrive.  Metal products and industries will be in demand such as steel production, car and building production, gold, silver, and jewellery.  It will be a challenging year for the transportation, energy, gas, timber, shipping, travel, publishing and media industries. Expect more natural disasters and extremes in climate conditions as two opposing elements fight for power.  Yin Metal represents small sharp objects like knives so stabbings will continue to grab media attention, particularly involving young men.  A high profile assassination is also possible in 2011.

The Misfortune Star 5 resides in the East from February 2011. Feng Shui Masters consider China and surrounding areas are part of the 'Far East' so North and South Korea tensions could remain throughout 2011. If you look at 1951, which had exactly the same pillars as the coming year 2011, Chinese and North Korea were fighting. In fact, the headlines have such a similar theme, its fascinating!  It talks about the future Queen of Britain, Queen Elizabeth and her future husband (Kate Middleton & Prince William now), terrible floods in the Mid West (floods in Australia and other parts of the world), Iran was in the news (concerns over Iran's nuclear power now).

2011 General Summary

1. The annual flying star and li chung Ba Zi:

The annual feng shui analysis and forecast are based on the annual star chart, period chart and the Li Chung Ba Zi (the elements of the grand duke Metal Rabbit).

The star pattern of 2011:

The four pillars of Li Chung (spring festival), also called Li Chung Ba Zi:

The five elements in the chart are unbalanced, the domineering element is wood, then metal, then earth, with water and fire elements missing. Based on the theory of five elements birth and destructive cycle, metal cutting wood, wood conquers the earth. The element combination is similar to 2010.

To welcome in the optimistic and productive energies of the Metal Rabbit, start de-cluttering your home, office or shop now. Remove anything that is broken, you don't like or don't use. Get rid of gifts you don't like which are hidden in drawers or cupboards somewhere. Sell them on Ebay or give them to your favourite charity. These things energetically and emotionally drag you down and keep you from moving forward. You will be amazed how good you will feel when you remove 'old stuff' from your life.

Clutter in any area of your home, shop, or office will be blocking a part of your life. You will feel like you are stuck or stagnating. So get things moving and de-clutter your life!

Feng Shui for The Year of the Rabbit, 2011

North East (1 White) - Brings Triumph and Success

The 1 White Star occupies North East. This is a positive star that governs relationship.

If you're single and looking for life long partner, this is your savior star. If use well, this star can literally turn you into a love magnet. No joke.

Married couple with intention to add new family member (aka babies) can also harness the energy of this star to their advantage.

However, there are situations when you should leave this star alone even though it is a positive star. In those situations, I would advise against harnessing its power.

The white Success Star flies to the Northeast and represents superlative mentor and career luck. Mentor luck brings influential and wise people into your life to help you to achieve your life’s aspirations. Look out for helpful people crossing your path. The #1 White star is a lucky star that is likely to assist you in attracting triumph and moments and overcoming obstacles in the work place or victory over your competitors. Those ambitious young men engaged in competitive pursuits will highly benefit from this Star. Keep this sector energized by yang energy. It is the water element bringing victory and you can activate this auspicious star by placing a water feature, a victory banner or a brass Dragon Tortoise to your home or office in this sector.

South (2 Black) - Brings Sickness and Illness

According to flying stars feng shui 2011, the 2 Black Illness Star enters the South palace.

You probably know from its name that this is an unlucky star.

As a matter of fact, this is an extremely powerful negative star, especially if it lands on your main door, bedroom, kitchen, office desk or cash register.

It is notorious for causing respiratory related illness, affecting financial stability or health so make sure you disperse its energy completely.

This star is an earth element and brings disease, sickness, health problems and even death in the Southern sector. It's sickness bringing energy gets strengthened by the fire element of the South sector this year. House facing or sitting on South or with the main door located in the South sector will find that the occupants are more vulnerable to falling sick. It will mostly affect Horse-born people and the middle daughter. Avoid staying in this sector or room. Move to another bedroom. If that’s not possible, use Feng Shui cure to repress the negative energy flowing from this star. Suppress the illness energy of this star with an Eight Immortals Wu Lou tied with a red ribbon or a metal Wu Lou. Six-Rod Wind Chimes can also do the job. Also make sure you wear a Wu Lou pendant or carry a Wu Lou amulet.

North (3 Jade) - Brings Hostility and Lawsuits

The 3 Argumentative Jade Star enters the North palace.

This star is notorious for legality issues, obstructing career advancement, and creating fights among couples.

The energy of this star is especially potent if the unit is sea facing, or a pond, aquarium or water plants are located in the south sector.

The Hostile star is situated in the North and brings about verbal accusations and assaults, quarrels and law suits between family members, friends and colleagues. It is the wood element and its bad energy gets strengthened by the water element of the North sector. It will affect mostly those born in the year of the Rat and Middle son. Them, and those sleeping in this sector will find themselves easily stressed and agitated, impatient and short-fused. Productivity will drop. Watch out for trouble with the authorities. Keep this part of the house quiet. Feng Shui cures for this star includes the Ksitigarbha’s Fireball, Ksitigarbha Staff and Flaming Magic Wheel. Carry a Ksitigarbha’s Fireball Keychain with you for added protection, especially at workplace where you can’t display the cures. Remove water energy from this sector.

South West (4 Green) - Brings Love and Scholastic Luck

4 Green Wood Star, the star for intellectual and success achievement goes South West.

If you want career or academic success, or if you have schooling kids, you should take advantage of this star.

That's good news as it greatly enhanced you (or your children) concentration. But you can boost the energy of this star further through the use of feng shui 2011 enhancers.

The romance and literary star #4 is also a wood element flies into the Southwest sector of your home. This star brings forth good luck on the romantic side of your life, as well as education and academic luck. Southwest, according to Feng Shui Bagua formula is a sector for love and domestic happiness. Couple with this star, the love and romance enhancing energy here is said to multiplied here. Matriarch and those single or unmarried residing in this corner will benefit greatly from this combination. Students residing in this sector will have better examination luck. It is also often called the Peach Blossom Star and you can utilize this energy with a display of love symbols (mandarin ducks, double happiness symbol, dragon & phoenix or double carp) to solidify marriage luck and crystal (crystal points, crystal trees, crystal balls) or Wen Chang Pagoda to enhance academic luck.

With the above cures and enhancers in place you should reap the rewards from this area especially if you are looking to enhance relationships or creativity; this area is very good for writers, artists, students and anyone that is related to the travel, crystal, alternative, health industry.

Avoid fire element and colours red, pink or purple. Good colours are blue, grey or black. If you wish to enhance areas of creativity and academic achievements, place or hang moving objects to enhance the Ch’i of this sector, do not use wind chimes. Keep area semi active with windows occasionally open. Do not use metal items here especially wind chimes from the 2011 cures. Spend time in the southwest if you want to enhance romance, creativity or academic pursuits.

Cures and Enhancers:

• Use blue in your décor if this is your office or bedroom.

• Make sure you remove all the metal cures like the salt cures and six coins in a row from the 2010 cures and enhancers kit from the southwest as this will cause many relationship problems if left.

• For office and studies, place a task light and a crystal globe on the work desks. Blue items can be added on the desk e.g. blue paper, blue books etc

• Avoid displaying metal objects here especially large heavy ornaments.

• Fresh flowers or small pots of green leafy or flowering plants can be displayed in this spot of the house to lift the qi. Blue or green flowers are a good choice.

• If you have mandarin Ducks this is a good area to have them and any other symbols of romance like hugging couples etc.

• Place photos of loved ones or images of love to enhance relationships or attract new love. This can be photos, paintings or statues and make sure there is always a pair in the image.

• For romance a Dragon headed Tortoise or Mandarin Ducks are very good.

East (5 Yellow) - Brings Misfortune and Bad Luck

According to flying stars feng shui 2011, the 5 Fearsome Yellow Star moves to the East Palace.

As usual, where this star goes, it only spells trouble. This year, the earth energy of period 8 further intensifies the negative energy of this star.

You may know that I pay special attention to the movement of the 5 Yellow Fearsome Star. I make sure that I use suitable feng shui cure to properly disperse its energy. The same for the 2 Illness Black Star.

But why does this star deserve such great respect? Because it's the most notorious star. This stat is capable of more havoc than any other stars.

This star can affect fertility, and for ladies, it can bring about other gynecological related complications.

For those with schooling kids, the affliction can hinder the kid's academic progress.

If this star lands on your main door, room door, kitchen or toilet, its effect will be more prominently felt.

So don't undermine the destructive power of this star.

This year, the yellow star or Wu Wang plagues the East. It is a malicious star feared by all as it brings bad luck of all kinds. It is an earth element bringing with it financial loss, death, tragedies, accidents, mishaps and anything else that is negative and bad. In 2011, this star blocks success and affects the first son in the family or those born in the year of Rabbit. It is always a good idea to vacate the afflicted room and avoid any loud sounds in this sector coming from the TV or radio. Do not hold a party in this sector. The yellow #5 star can be cured by a Six-Rod Wind Chime. The Five Element Pagoda, Trinity Pagoda and the Luck Transforming Fan are all effective Feng Shui cures. Keep doors and windows closed and avoid any construction or renovation in this area. A Bejeweled Five Element Pagoda Feng Shui Pendant is also a good protection amulet for this vicious star.

South East (6 White) - Brings Good Fortune

6 White Star moves South East.

This is a weak wealth star, but you can still take advantage of its energy if you boost its energy with a powerful enhancer.

The South East is commonly associated with wood energy. And 6 White Star being a metal element star clash with the wood energy in this direction.

The Metal-Wood clash brings about monetary related conflicts, resulting in strained relationships.

Couples and business owner should pay attention to this clash. For couples, this may strained their relationship. On the other hand, business owners may get themselves entangled in credibility issues resulting in declining profits.

The Heavenly white star number six associated with the cosmic energies of heaven moves to the South East this year. It is a very favorable star of good luck straight from heaven. Be prepared for plenty of good Heaven's celestial blessings if you spend a lot of time in this part of your house. People who gamble be it in lottery, horse racing, football betting or casino games will benefit from this auspicious star that brings cosmic chi that manifests into good fortune and windfall luck. Bring life to this star with Yang energy e.g. sound and activity in this corner and figurine of the dragons or horses. The Heavenly star’s element is metal so enhance metal or earth (crystal) energy. This star also attracts power and authority luck.

Centre (7 Red) - Brings Theft, Burglary and Violence

The 7 Red Star occupies the Centre palace in the year of the Tiger.

This used to be a wealth star till 2004. When we enter period 8, it started to lose its wealth energy. In 2010, the 7 Red Star is considered a negative star.

This year, the 7 Red Star clashes with the wood energy associated with this direction. This meeting creates unpleasantness between colleagues and family members.

The effect is especially severe if your main door, room door, toilet or kitchen is located in the south east sector of your unit.

This unfavorable star hits the Center of your home/office and brings with it bad luck and tidings. It is a metal element associated with financial loss, robbery, theft, violence and bloodshed. Its negative chi gets strengthened further by the earth energy of the sector so make sure you suppress it. Watch your back during this period and be careful not to trust everyone. Remedy this star with a pair of Blue Rhinoceros figurines on both sides of the doors to this sector. You could use the Blue Rhinoceros and Elephant figurine. These Feng Shui cures are strong protective symbols with water element that will weaken the metal energy of this Burglary Star. You may also hang a Blue Rhino Amulet, a Rhinocerous Keychain  or a Rhinoceros and Elephant Protection Amulet onto your handbag to protect against snatch thieves.

North West (8 White) - Brings Wealth Luck and Prosperity

The 8 Auspicious Wealth Star moves to North West palace.

Although a wealth star, its position in the center means that it's energy is trapped by the other surrounding stars. To take advantage of its wealth energy, you'll need to unleash its power from the central location.

The all-powerful Prosperity star for 2011 falls into NW - which means the patriarch of the famly will benefit from it. It is the star of fortune and good luck and brings with it lots of wealth luck and abundance. It is an earth element and can be activated with Feng Shui crystals. If your home has a living or family area in this sector, everyone in your home will be able to gain from this star especiallt the father figure. Display Feng Shui crystals everywhere to attract the best this star has to offer. Some suggestions are Crystal Trees, Star of David Crystal Balls and Crystal Mystic Knot Tassels. A Ru Yi here will serve to enhance career strength and authority luck.

West (9 Purple) - Brings Future Prosperity

The 9 Purple Star possesses enormous positive energy, and governs joyful events like marriage, promotion, salary raise, and job opportunities.

Although a positive star, this star can hinder your promotion opportunities, and adversely affect your wealth, love and relationship luck if it lands in the toilet, pond or fish tank. This is known as the water-fire clash.

This Purple star is a fire element. It attracts wealth luck (especially through investment ) and good fortune especially to the youngest daughter. This Star also brings fame and recognition luck – the luck that propels you to be acknowledged and rewarded for your achievement and hard work. To enhance this Star, display nine glitter lamps or nine money frogs in this sector and keep this part of the house brightly lit.

Tips For Annual Flying Stars for 2011

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 East and the challenging sickness energy of the 2 in the South. 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 East sector of the garden and metal bells in the East 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 East area for 2011.

The number 2 flying star represents sickness and you will need a brass calabash and/or Six Chinese coins located in the South sector of the house for 2011. These are to aid in absorbing the negative sickness energy. Be extra careful if your main door is located in the East or the South sector in 2011.

The Grand Duke this year is in the East whilst the Three Killings is located in the West, 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 West as you will be sitting against the unfavourable energy"". If this is unavoidable place a Dragon Tortoise facing West 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 North West and the West sectors so if your front door or bedroom is located here you may find good opportunities coming your way for 2011 to improve your wealth, health and/or relationships.

It is important to remember that the annual flying stars are best to use in conjunction with the period star and the flying star of the building.

The Feng Shui setting out for the Metal Rabbit Year 2011:

Enhance the luck of relationship and love luck
The position of relationship is in the Northeast grid. For the best luck in love relationship, you can put a glass of water and a music box in the Northeast grid of your house. For better general human relations, you should put an pig/boar figurine decorative piece in the Northwest. Of course you can have both love luck and good interpersonal relationship if you do both. If you decide you don't need any more love relationship (say, you are married) but you need good interpersonal relationship, you might skip the glass of water.

Enhance the luck of marriage and joyful events
The location of joyful events is in the West. You can put 4 potted plants in the West grid to boost the energy of the Star. Then put a glass of water in the Northeast grid of relationship to boost general human relations.

Enhance the luck of examination and intellectual achievement
To enhance the luck of examination and academic study, put 4 water bamboo plants in the Northeast grid. Then, put a glass of water in the Southwest grid. This would maximize the energy of the Star of intellectual achievement with its complementary star Yi Bai.

Enhance the business
If your business is not doing too well this year, you can put 4 water bamboo plants in the Southwest grid of the house (the location of intellectual achievement), and then 8 white pebbles in a glass of water in the Northwest grid (the location of wealth).

Enhance the luck of wealth
The grid of joyful events is in the West grid; star Qi Chi in the Central; the Star of wealth in the Northwest. To boost your luck of wealth, you can put a glass of water with one black stone in at each of these positions. Yet, such setup cannot be used permanently. You have to take a month break after 3 month for it to stay effective.

Feng Shui – Annual Nine Flying Stars in 2011

Star 1- North-east.
This is a lucky star, 1 White arriving at the northeast. If your door faces this direction it will bring promotion, romance and academic recognitions. You may place your study desk at NE. Place a bowl of clear water with 6 coins at this sector to enhance this star.

Star 2 – South
Star 2, the sickness star arrived at the South direction. If your main door or bedroom windows face South hang a strand of 6 Metal ancient Chinese coins to harmonize this star. Alternatively, you may place a metal object or paint with white color or hang a golden color poster painting at this sector.

Star 3 – North
This is a quarrelsome star. If your door faces North, place a red color floor mat outside your main door entrance. Don’t paint red onto your door.

Star 4 – South-west
This star, though a fading star is usable. It can trigger romance and academic success. Use this area for your study corner. In the bedroom at the SW sector place a stalk of flower in a vase by your bed side if you are in romance moods.

Star 5 – East.
This is another potent star also known as the 5 yellow star. If your door faces east it could bring loss, sickness or poverty. To harmonize this, the traditional cure is to hang a 6 rods metal wind-chime but sometimes it is not appropriate as the chiming sounds may irritate your neighbors. I normally recommend placing a gold colored floor mat outside the door. Some prefer to stick 6 metal coins over the door.

Star 6 – South-east
Star 6 is another fading star but since it is a white star it is usable if you know the secret of this star. If this star is properly treated it can bring promotion, travel and migration opportunities. Place a bowl of ‘still’ water at this sector of your house.

Star 7 - Centre
Star 7 is a robbery star. Beware of intrusion and fire hazard. Avoid having red color at this sector. If it falls in your kitchen be mindful with your stove and gas pipes. Make sure the gas switch is off when you finish cooking. Remind your maids and family members as well.

Star 8 – Northwest
This is the timely star and is also a good star. If your house main door faces northwest, there will be opportunities for gaining wealth. Please do not indulge in any gambling activities! If you have a water feature outside your house make sure the water is kept fresh and clean. Check whether the water pump is working properly. Inside the house you may place a mini water fountain at this corner to enhance this star.

Star 9 – West
This is another timely star. You can activate this star for childbirth if you are newly married. If combined with star 2 and 7 it may cause eye problems. For this issue you have to refer to your house birth chart.

The Annual Xuan Kong/Flying Stars apply to all homes, regardless of the Time Period in which they were built. The Annual Stars can act as catalysts or triggers within each compass sector, and you should examine their interaction with the natal Xuan Kong probability combination of the Siang Sin, Main Star and Chor Sin within each compass sector to determine how strong or weak the annual influence may be. It also helps to look ahead at the monthly flying stars to see when the annual positive and negative factors will be doubled or enhanced by monthly stars.
