the year itself.

SPECIAL EDITION FENG SHUI YEARLY FORECAST

2014: yang wood on yang fireAt first glance this seems to be a harmonious year. Wood and fire are supporting one another, unlike the water and fire clash in 2013. Indeed, the general atmosphere will be somewhat more positive compared to last year.

Yang wood element will kick start the year, together with the spring season from February to April 2014. This will be the time of growth, as Yang Wood represents a sturdy tree growing tall. Many new businesses will thrive and new ideas will grow. After the unstable market condition especially at the end of 2013, the spring 2014 will bring new and high hopes. We can expect the first half year to be a spur of growths in many sectors but as it moves towards mid year, things will start to overheat. By the time fire comes and Jia wood is exhausted by fire, new businesses and ideas without proper foundation will crumble apart.

Soon Yang Fire of horse will take over and carry with it a dynamic and passionate energy, but also free spirited and rather anxious. This contradicts Jia Yang Wood, which is very rigid and conservative. Because horse has hidden Yin Earth Ji that form a combination with Yang Wood Jia, at first there will be harmony. But soon the clash between the new movement against the status quo is unavoidable. Politically things will be even more explosive than last year especially after May: wars could be inevitable. Horse is also a Peach Blossom star according to Chinese Metaphysics, and will bring a strong romantic energy, from weddings to scandals. The presence of Jia wood will make fire becomes too strong and uncontrollable, hence if fire is your unfavourable element you need to be mindful of your luck and health. Expect 2014 to be a year of growth, excitement and explosion all in one.

WOOD HORSE 2014

ICHING DIVINATION OF 2014

Lesson from this hexagram•Water over thunder, is a very chaotic combination. Imagine sailing on a stormy sea! In this condition, the best thing we can do is to steer the ship carefully and not to go against the tide’s movement. At times, it is best to just hang on and do nothing at all! Thankfully the turbulence will be short-lived, and at the end it will give us a valuable learning experience.

•With optimistic market outlook and momentary euphoria at the beginning of 2014, many will be prompted to start something new or take their business to another level. Do not be hasty, as without a good foundation it can quickly go bust and drain our resources big time! The nature of the hexagram also implies that we should also expect temporary stumbling blocks along the way. Choose our allies carefully and listen to the advice of trustworthy people/ noblemen to reap our success at the end.

• This hexagram also denotes flexibility and strength. We have to be flexible under though situation, and courageous enough to let our inner strength shine and take the chance outside of our comfort zone.

The image of this hexagram depicts a seed sprouting, pushing agains the earth. It has been sleeping, but when it awakens it has the power to split even rocks. The growing seed needs to struggle and penetrate upwards through the hard soil before it can break free. It is a brief difficulty, but one needs to persevere for this is a learning curve everyone must experience to grow. The process is not without failures, but at the end with the right moves and some help one will succeed. This hexagram tells us that 2014 is a good year to start anew and with fresh mindset, but it also reminds us that obstacle is at bay. Everything worth doing will always be difficult at the beginning.

‘TUN’ DIFFICULTY AT the beginning

“Furthering through perseverance Nothing should be undertaken It furthers one to appoint helpers”

YEAR OF 2014 - 4 PILLARS OF DESTINY

4th February 2014, 06.04hrWe will erect the birthchart of year 2014 using the

actual time Li Chun begins, which is 4th February

2014, at 06.04hr

Although the lunar new year falls on the 31st January

2014, the actual energy change will happen a few days afterwards according to the Hsia Calendar. From this

date we will erect the Four Pillars to analyze year

2014 more in depth

At first glance, we have a very hot chart! The day stem is Bing, Yang Fire, and the rest of the chart is surrounded by wood and fire (with one lonely and under pressure Yin Metal). This chart further elaborates on how 2014 will be like - dynamic year full of growth and explosive nature. Fortunately, the season is E3 Yang Wood which is an early spring wood; it is still rather cold and wet. This will help balance the heat and make the fire burns steadily, as opposed to exploding randomly like firecrackers. H8 metal is also a balancing element, which together with self H3 can combine into water. This implies that in 2014, more people will prone to exhaust their money for power and fame. All in all, wood and fire sectors will dominate the market and face stiff competitions. Sales and marketing in general will be tough; you will need to be creative to market your products and services especially if wood / fire is your unfavourable element. Metal and earth will be favourable and in demand for 2014, while water sectors will be neutral and rather stagnant.

Forecast of 2014 in:politics

economy

This year’s chart will bring much political unrest. The presence of two sword stars in the chart denote many clashes between oppositions in many countries, which will bring about riots and even civil wars. Authoritative policies will bring about aggressions, and many existing conflicts such as in the Middle East will escalate further. Western countries such as Europe will continue to be under pressure until at least Autumn, while Eastern countries such as China will slowly start losing its power.

The energy of wood and fire in 2014 will bring some boost of optimism, but it will still be unstable and short-lived. Market players will need to be careful of bubble burst because of unsustainable growth and impulsive profit taking by investors. Euro and US dollars will be stronger but at a too fast pace that some measures will need to be taken to cool it down. China’s economy will be somehow weaker.



other trades/ industries

property developments

stock market

The property market in Singapore will be quite stagnant due to the cooling measures, but this will create more opportunities for those who want to buy or invest Those who want to sell may hold until price is better and situation is less competitive.

Stock markets will be boosted at the beginning of the year with more stimulus and new policies introduced, and it may even hit record high by end of Q1. However we need to be careful as during Q1 fire will get too strong and it will be very unstable. If you are not a professional trader, best time to trade is during Q1/ early Q2, or during your favourable timing/ months.

Banking and finance belong to metal elements, are still weak but are in demand for 2014. Wait until August/ September if you want to make significant moves

Travel, transport, tourism, shipping, logistics and other water related industries will also be in demand, although you have to be sharp enough to catch the opportunities

Oil and gas prices will fluctuate and fare worse than last year

Entertainment industries and hospitality will be very competitive this year

Natural resources and mining will be good in 2014. Gold prices will be under pressure during the first half of the year but will improve quite significantly by mid to end year

Education, timber, agriculture, fashion and design is of wood nature and will also be very competitive this year. If you are in these industries, plan your move carefully. One wrong move and your resources can be drained easily.

Apart from those, overly strong fire energy also bring many fire and hot air related disasters such as bush fire, typhoons and other significant environmental damages. It also signifies some major air/ sea transport accidents, although not as many as 2013. Domestic conflicts will need to be managed as this is a year full of short temper and hot in nature. With two peach blossoms stars, there will be double the weddings and romance scandals compared to last year! Singles born in the year of Ox, Snake and Rooster can expect joyous occasions this year for your romance, but beware of complicated relationship if you are attached. If wood and fire are not your favourable elements, pay attention of your house feng shui to minimize financial woes and ill health this year.

Three animal signs in harmony with the horse:

If you belong to these animal signs, you may face certain hiccups this

I AM BORN IN A

HORSE YEAR!

Those born in the year of horse are the most energetic, playful and passionate people! They are born leader and love challenges, but also get bored easily. Quick tempered at times and impulsive, they can offend others due to their loud and honest communicating style. However, horse people are quick to forget and easy to forgive. They make very loyal friends and companions, and sure to brighten up any events you invite them to!
