2015 Tai Sui – The Grand Duke

Great General Yang Xian is the Tai Sui or Grand Duke of Sheep/Goat year 2015. 

A brief history of the great General Yang Xian (杨仙). 33BingShenf1

Zodiac : Goat

Conflict with Goat

Clashes with Cow

Causing hurt with Cow, Dog

Incompatible with Rat

Damaging with Dog

Yi Wei “Tai sui” was born during the Song Dynasty at Zi Qi (淄齐), Shandong. His name was Yang Xian (杨仙).

Yang Xian, when young had an interest in divine studies and viewed fame and status of the materialistic world as superficial. He led a hermit life style and liked to travel across mountains. Yang Xian was able to assimilate with wild animals such as the leopards and tigers and played along with them while at the mountains as though they were birds and chickens. In the state of Ying Zhou (郢州) ,Hebei, someone by the name of Zhu Si Hu was in admiration of Yang Xian and invited him to stay with him. Yang Xian stayed there for a few years.

Yang Xian had the ability to predict things accurately and his words were always short and precise.

One day, Yang Xian said after drinking wine that he was going to leave the world and so he died without suffering from any pain or sickness. When Zhu Si Hu returned home, he went to the mountain to open up Yang Xian’s grave but found that the body was not inside. He later constructed a monument by the side of the grave in memory of him.

Which Animal Signs are in Conflict with 2015 Grand Duke?

Year 2015 is the year of the yin wood earth Goat/Sheep year. People who are born in the following animal signs are in conflict with Tai-Sui – Goat/Sheep, Ox/Cow, Rat and Dog. To avoid offending the Tai Sui, people do “An Tai Sui Ritual” (Pacifying Tai Sui Ritual) on every 1st and 15th day of Chinese Lunar Calendar. It is believed that improvement of health, luck, wealth, prosperity, family safety and helpful mentors supports will be granted.

Unlike conventional thinking, conflicting with Annual Year Tai Sui is not as bad as one may think. It merely means “CHANGES” or “MOTIONS” in your life. Collision with the Year Tai Sui generally refers to your birth year at the opposite end 地支六冲 something like North Pole vs South Pole. In advanced calculations, the roots of a person’s bazi day, month and time of birth are used to explore further about the events that is going to unfold for that year.

Emotional Changes

Changes in emotion reflects relationships in your life. It can be marriage e.g. getting marry or breakup or divorce good or bad depends on your Bazi Birth Configuration.

Career Changes

This is quite easy to understand it can mean getting a nice promotion or got fired, again depends on your Bazi Profile. That makes having your Bazi Reading so important.

Family Changes

This may mean relocation or even migration.

Wealth Changes

The good news will be buying a new investment property and the bad news may mean that you are selling the property at a lost or even going bankrupt.

Health Changes

Your health may take a bad turn and you have to be mindful of accidents or injuries.

All in all no matter what changes, it is wise to keep your head low and keep a “cool” attitude when dealing with these changes

Recommended cures 

1) Since this is a year of “motion” 变动 for you, instead of discouraging it, encourage it ! Be Active! Take for instance go for a well deserved holidays with your loved ones, find something that is personal to you or your family and celebrate with your friends and relatives e.g. birthday if other joyful celebrations (marriage) are not possible. In Chinese classical wisdom there is this principle call 一喜挡三灾

2)Choose to get involve and attend jubilant celebrations as many as possible. You can rub some positive energies from people who are happy.

3) Avoid attending sad sad ceremonies if you can help it.

4) Since this is a year of Changes for you, try to make objective decisions based on logical reasons and not emotions. If you really wanted to make a major decision such as investment, career switch, start your business consider having a 2nd opinion (that are not in conflict with tai sui).

5) Wearing of personal talisman that improves your luck, this is the general guideline for respective Chinese astrology signs, however my advice is to consider checking with your bazi before going ahead. These are the compatible combo that act as partners to uplift your luck in dire times. I have also separated those born in the first half of the year from February to July and those born in the 2nd half from August to January. What i am trying to do here is based on my “best guess” of your favourable element using season as the parameter in the absence of Bazi Reading.

For those who are born in the first half of the year try to use gold or silver or white gold or steel as the substance choice. As for those born in the 2nd half use jade as the preferred material. If you feel there are improvements in your life kindly contribute some money to a Charity organisation of your choice.

6) If things are really not going your way, you may wish to do up your home feng shui or office feng shui. Sometimes it may be you make some wrong choices with your home placement and others and not because of Tai Sui. There are so many variables that influence one’s life and it is really impossible to cover all angles!

7) Do Charity work. For example provide financial aid to those needy that cannot afford funeral expenses.

8) Do a thorough health check on your body before the year commences i.e. 2nd half of January 2015. Send your car for check-up too to prevent accidents.

9) Donate blood 

10) Look into Year 2015 feng shui for your house

Elemental FengShui Guidelines for 2015

1) Economy Instability – One can envisage that the imbalance of the five elements represents instability of the World economy and changes are drastic. One of the noteworthy symbolism of Astrology sign “Goat” is the cohesiveness and team spirit. Quite often one can come across the following wording: “The creative side of the Wooden Goat; its diligence applied to hard work ensures prosperity”… Let’s agree words like these don’t leave any room for doubt when it comes to the future wellbeing.

2) Upsurging Environmental issues – Increased concern over agriculture problems like viral diseases from vegetable crops, deforestation, forest fires and so forth.

Have a prosperous and blessed 2015.

 

 

The Chinese Timing

There is a time for everything’ – this ageless advice is mentioned and preached across all beliefs and faiths and cannot be more appropriate than to be applied to our daily lives.

Conventional choice of dates for everything, from moving homes to a wedding, calls for precise considerations besides good weather and convenient travel conditions.

Chinese wisdom holds that the beginning of an event is a crucial moment, which contains within it the seeds of what is to unfold. It pays to give attention to choose the right date to sign an agreement, negotiate a deal or propose to your future wife. The thin line between making money and losing out in the markets is largely all about timing.

Numerous systems of date selections have emerged from different cultures and practices.

One outstanding method makes use of the space and time dimension of calculating a perfect time and calls for the analysis of a person’s time of birth.

This widely respected method is still in use today and is based on the information of the Chinese Almanac. It derives that a person’s birth chart contains elements that either enhances or clashes with that of a chosen day.

The chinese timing are divided into 12 periods, each 2 hours long. The chinese day commence at 11 pm the night before. These are the corresponding time:

Chinese periods Hours
子(zi) 11pm to 1 am
丑(chou) 1am to 3 am
寅(yin) 3am to 5 am
卯(mao) 5am to 7am
辰(chen) 7am to 9am
巳(si) 9am to 11am
午(wu) 11am to 1pm
未(wei) 1pm to 3pm
申(shen) 3pm to 5pm
酉(you) 5pm to 7pm
戌(xu) 7pm to 9pm
亥(hai) 9pm to 11pm

Fengshui Forecasts for 2014 of each horoscope

Attached the Fengshui Forecasts for 2014 of each horoscope.

Fengshui

In 2014, the Chinese New Year (Lunar New Year) starts on February 4, 2014; it is the feng shui year of the Wood Horse.

2014 is the year of Wood Horse, that begins on January 31st, (February 4th according to Chinese calendar) 2014 and ends on February 18th, 2015. It is 31st year within 60 year cycle, it is also called “Horse in the Cloud” or “Chia Wu” in traditional Chinese astrology.

Wood Horse in a Wood Horse year is in its own element. This Horse is quick to react in defense of those who can not fight for themselves. It can, however, bring unexpected conflicts, as Fire – Wood energies are very strong. 2014 is not a very peaceful year, because Earth Element, grounding base, is completely missing in a chart of this year. Every crystal formation must include lots of grounding energies.

The exceptionally successful months in 2014 are February and November.

I would highly recommend everyone to do more readings on…

five elements

Water represents Wisdom. The element of the water corresponds to the talents, intelligence or absence of it, represents accuracy, specifics, etc.

The five elements can be regarded as the symbols of the five planets, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire ,Earth corresponding to Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn.

2014 Elemental Fengshui

2014 is Male Wood Horse Year. The Male Wood is connected to a tall tree. A tree needs sunshine, Earth and Water to grow stronger and taller. Horse contains Fire and Earth. Horse of 2014 contains mainly Fire. Metal is afraid of Fire. Metal and Wood of 2014 are opposite elements; they have fighting relationship. Luckily, Horse contains Female Earth, which has attraction relationship with Wood of 2014 into Earth. Earth is the mother element of Metal. But the fortune of 2014 has almost no Metal. People need to pay attention to their respiratory system, because Metal is connected to lungs.

Water is not afraid of Fire. Fortunately, the Earth of Horse can protect Fire from attacking by Water. Also, Wood of 2014 makes Fire stronger. That means Water cannot win over the Fire in 2014. This creates elemental imbalance and means that in 2014, we might have to pay special attention to the kidneys and the urinary system, as they correspond to the Water element.

Fire is the child element of Wood. Mother Wood always helps child Fire to burn stronger. Wood does the giving without taking. But, eventually, Wood will burn into dust. That means, that year 2014 will bring some great opportunities at first, but then these opportunities will disappear. This also means that when we get any help or advice from others in 2014, we need to learn from them as much as possible. But then to be prepare to do the job alone, when help is no longer available. In general, Wood-Fire in 2014 brings luck, but we still need to pay attention to heart/cardiovascular system during this strong Fire Year, as it’s energies can become overwhelming. Emotions may run hot as well. Great cure for everyone would be to use Citrine and Agate crystals to compensate for missing Earth element and create grounding base.

“The Annual Flying Stars Forecast” of Feng Shui is very important. It calculates every particular combination of energies for the year, and helps us take precautions against destructive influences. It also helps us strengthen the effect of the good stars. Knowing annual Flying Star, you can know what areas of your life will be positive during year, and what areas, on contrary, may be dangerous. This is very important, because, if, for example, your bed or table located in the wrong sector of your home, they should be temporarily rearranged, if possible. Using certain Feng Shui techniques, bad stars can be neutralized, and good stars can be increases.

2014 FLYING STAR FORECAST

Energizing the auspicious sectors of 2014 will ensure you have a successful and smooth-sailing year ahead!

Flying Star Feng Shui addresses both the space and the time dimension of the practice and holds a wonderful promise which enables you to improve your luck tremendously. The 2014 Feng Shui chart maps out the distribution of energy in each of the nine sectors, usually referred to as the nine palaces of the home. The luck of these sectors will change each year, and it is worth your effort to learn the meanings of the 9 stars as thoroughly as possible because the changing energies will create different effects on the luck and fortunes of houses and on businesses in buildings. It is therefore extremely beneficial to undertake an update analysis of the feng shui of houses at the start of each new year.

The energy changes of annual feng shui cycle follow the timings of the Hsia calendar, also known as the solar Chinese Calendar. Under this system, “Lap Chun”, the first day of Spring always begins on the 4th of February every year and marks the start of the new year. Therefore, it is highly recommended that all feng shui updates for the year 2014 are carried out and are in order a week before this day.

In 2014, the ruling number is 4 and the Lo Shu chart for the year thus has 4 in the center. The 4 in the center is itself a good sign, as 4 is an auspicious number than signifies good love and education luck!

Flying Star

Take note the following sectors:-

  • Sickness Star this year is at East
  • Misfortune/Sickness Star this year is at North-West
  • Disputes/Quarrel Star this year is at South-East
  • Education/Romance Star this year is at Center 

Grand Duke this year is South, 180 Degree.

  • Avoid sitting facing the grand duke or disturbing him by having renovations.
  • Location in Conflict is North. 
  • Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conflict.

#1 White Star – SOUTHWEST – brings victory and triumph luck

The number 1 White star visits the Southwest in 2014. The white star #1 brings superlative good mentor luck and career luck. Those enjoying its good influences will generally have better victory luck in their competitive pursuits as this star is linked to achieving success and winning. People in business or politics should take note of this star. Houses that face or sit on Southwest will experience good fortune in 2014. 

This will help you triumph over enemies, foes, obstacles, competition, problems and obstructions through the year.

#2 Illness Star – EAST – brings sickness and illness

The Black Illness star #2 is an affliction highly feared by the younger and those who are sick or ill. When one is hit by the illness star, a healthy person will fall sick, and the condition of the already ill person will worsen. If you are living in a house that is facing the East direction, or sitting East, you should place metallic cures very prominently in the afflicted sector. It’s recommended, if possible, to move to another room if your bedroom is afflicted.

In 2014, people sleeping in the bedroom or living in a house with the main entrance or living room located in the East sector, the first son, and those born in the year of Rabbit, Tiger and Dragon will feel the influences of this sickness bringing star the most and the risk of catching infections and having health complications will be higher for them.

#3 Hostile Star – SOUTHEAST – brings arguments and court cases

The quarrelsome Star #3 brings seemingly meaningless quarrels, misunderstanding and aggravations that can seriously damage relationships – from intimate to professional.

At its best, the unfortunate number 3 Wood star causes verbal assaults and bickering between friends and loved ones, and at its worse, it brings hostilities, litigations, and even physical fights. The number 3 star is potentially one of the most dreaded stars of the Flying star chart. Keep the Southeast sector quiet as excessive sound, movement and disturbance will activate its ill effects which can be felt almost immediately.

Placing red crystals such as Red Jasper or Carnelian  can effectively subdue this star, thus reducing gossip, office politics and slander, and even help you avoid costly and lengthy lawsuits.

In 2014, people sleeping in the bedroom, or residing in a house with the main entrance or living room located in the SouthEast sector or facing the SE direction, the first daughter, and those born in the year of Snake and Dragon will feel the influences of this troublesome star of quarrels and disputes the most. You will lose your temper more easily and find it hard to control your anger. Do take this seriously.

#4 Romance Star – CENTER wood – earth, brings love and scholastic luck

The romantic star of peach blossom luck flies to the Center in 2014, benefitting everyone of the household with excellent romance luck. Generally, this star brings harmony and happiness to love relationships. It is very auspicious for singles looking to get hitched because this sexy star brings marriage opportunities. However, this can have positive or negative outcomes depending on whether the married couple in the household is inclined towards internal or external romance. Remove all water element from the center of the house as too much water for the number 4 causes the conditions for infidelities to occur, leading to sexual scandals. 

To jumpstart the manifestation of this lucky number 4 Romance Star, display Rose Quartz Mandarin Ducks on or Rose Quartz Puff Heart for Love Luck in the center of your home in 2014. This will enables love to grow and blossom. Those looking for love could meet someone whom they can bond with in a serious relationship, and those in a long-standing love relationship could blossom into marriage. Those keen on finding a mate or enhancing their love life, or deciding to tie the knot should carry or wear a Rose Quartz Pendant for Love.

The #4 star is also known as the academic star. It brings success to those engaged in educational, literary and writing fields. Teachers, students and authors will benefit from this lucky star in 2014. Likewise for businessmen and career people where the chances of promotions and enhanced income is higher for you. 

#5 Yellow Misfortune Star – NORTHWEST – brings misfortune and bad luck

The #5 Misfortune Star, or Wu Wang, is a particularly dangerous star of the Flying Star Feng Shui as it brings tragedies, mishaps and bad luck. When you are hit by wu wang, a whole variety of ill fortune and calamities will fall upon you. It can range from loss of money and income to illness that can be fatal, from disruption in business plans, to major accidents with serious injuries.

The best way to treat the five yellow is simply to leave it alone and undisturbed. Vacate rooms afflicted by it. If that is not practical, you must definitely place Feng Shui cures to neutralize it and keep this area as quite as possible. Do not play loud music or have your television here and keep windows and doors closed. You should not undertake renovations in the NW or hold activities here this year.

In 2014, the patriarch, those born in the year of Dog and Boar, people sleeping in the bedroom in NW, or residing in a house with the main entrance or living room located in the NW sector or facing the NW direction will feel the influences of this malignant star of misfortune the most. When it rears it ugly head due to too much noise and activity taking place in the afflicted sector, it brings massive problems and a great deal of bad luck. Those in leadership positions will find it hard to manage or to govern. 

#6 Heavenly Star – WEST – brings good fortune

In 2014, the lucky heavenly star 6 Flying Star blesses the West sector. The number 6 brings prosperity luck from cosmic forces, as well as power and authority luck. Those who gamble will benefit if their rooms are located in the West sector of their homes. To activate this star, Metal or Earth energy is required. Placing 6 Big Smooth Coins or Six Smooth Round Citrine Crystal Balls enhances the luck of heaven in the West, ensuring that all who reside in this part of the home, or those living in West facing or sitting houses, do not miss out on the many wonderful opportunities that are sure to come their way in the year 2014. The auspicious chi of #6 should be allowed to flow freely in this West location – keep it clutter free.

The youngest daughter and those born in the year of Monkey, Dog and Rooster will also enjoy the positive influences of this benevolent star the most. 

To enhance the energies flow in this sector, place Obsidian / Yellow Jasper/ Star of David Crystal/ Marble Crystal Ball/ Ammonite Shell/Clear Quartz Crystal Point in this sector.

#7 Violent Star – NORTHEAST – brings theft, burglary and violence

The much feared robbery star, which also brings violence and people who cheat you, flies to the Northeast this year. Northeast facing or sitting houses should be very mindful of its presence. Those afflicted will tend to be vulnerable to being swindled by others in year 2014, usually resulting in financial loss. What is worse is that the #7 also brings injuries, bloodshed and physical danger. You must be especially cautious and should not trust others easily.

The best Feng Shui cure to render the number 7 red star is to hang Sodalite crystal off your handbag to protect against snatch thieves and car theft.

In 2014, the youngest daughter, those born in the year of Ox and Tiger, people sleeping in the bedroom in NE, or residing in a house with the main entrance or living room located in the NE sector or facing the NE direction will feel the impact of this violent star the most. Make sure you handle machineries and sharp objects carefully. Ensure the security system of your homes and offices are working well. Carry protection crystals such as Sodalite in the car. 

#8 Wealth Star – SOUTH – brings wealth luck and prosperity

The lucky number 8 Flying star graces the South palace in 2014, making it the luckiest sector during the course of the year. This brings improved income and wealth luck. Your fortunes are likely to increase and you may well experience a “hei” or happiness occasion such as a big birthday celebration for a respected elder of the family, a wedding or welcoming a baby in the family. If one or all of these things happen for you, it is very auspicious indeed.

The best way to energize the number 8 is with crystal signifying Earth energy, with Citrine the stone of period 8 being highly recommended. Display the Crystal Number 8 symbol, Citrine Crystal Ball for Wealth Luck, Eight Auspicious Objects Crystal Ball or Obsidian Crystal Ball with Heart Sutra in the South corner to enhance its energies and to quicken the good fortune process for you. Make sure the South sector is kept clear of clutter.

In 2014, the middle daughter, those born in the year of Snake, Horse and Sheep, people sleeping in the bedroom in S, or residing in a house with the main entrance or living room located in the S sector or facing the S direction will benefit from this fortunate star the most. To make the most out of this auspicious energy, carry or wear a Jade Mystic Knot Lucky Charm. 

Crystals such as Jade / Obsidian /Star of David Crystal Balls/Ammonite Shell/Amethyst Quartz /Clear Quartz /Citrine Crystal Ball for Wealth Luck can be placed in this sector.

#9 Future Prosperity Star – NORTH

The number 9 is a special purple Flying star, which represents future prosperity. Many Feng Shui experts regard the 9 as being just as powerful as the 8 Prosperity Star. It brings excellent good luck to the North sector in 2014. The number 9 is also known as the star of completion and magnifying. As a number of completion, it brings important projects started prior to this year to a successful conclusion. As a magnifying star, it strengthens the effects of the luck of the monthly flying star, good or bad.

The best way to enhance the number 9 star is by adding fire element in this sector. Keep the North brightly lit but do not create noise or disturbance here as the Tai Sui is located in North in 2014.

If the main entrance to your house, or your bedroom, is located in the North sector, or if you are the middle son, or a Rat, Ox or Boar born, then whatever you start in 2014 will bring long-term benefits that lay the foundation for success in the future. 

Have a Prosperous 2014!
