2009 FENG SHUI HANDBOOK

Introduction to Feng Shui:

This year, New Years Day is on January 26 (solar new year), while the actualyear and the beginning of spring is on February 4 which is when the Chinese calendarstarts. You have until before Feb. 4 to place your feng shui remedies and enhancers.

The yearly Feng Shui determines which signs will be lucky and which wont be solucky is based on the Flying Star Formula. This formula uses the 8 directions (North,South, East, West, NE, NW, SE and SW) and determines where each type of Star willfly to in a particular year.

There are lucky stars (or that which brings good luck) and affliction stars (orthat which brings bad luck) that fly to each of the 8 directions every year. The lucky starsare: the Auspicious Wealth Star, White or Victory Star, Multiplying or Expanding Star,Heaven Star and Romance Star. The affliction stars are: the Deadly 5 Yellow Star,Robbery Star, Argument Star, and Illness Star.

Each astrological animal is associated with a particular direction or called itshome direction (youll see this below) and each will be affected with the star that flew tothat direction. For those with affliction stars in their charts, there are always remedies tobe done to counter this. I put the remedies in my office, in each bedroom and in theliving and dining room.

In assessing your luck, remember that you are affected by the followingdirections: 1) your astrological signs home direction, 2) where your house is facing, 3)where your room is located in the house, 4) where you face while working, 5) where yourhead points while youre sleeping, and 6) direction of your position in family if father ofa family (Patriarch), the mother (Matriarch), eldest son, etc. Be watchful of the directions

that pertain to you and your position in the family. So check your directions so you knowexactly whats in store for you.

Each direction will need a particular type of energy to either activate the star ofthat direction or suppress the star there. These energies are earth, wood, metal, fire orwater. The details on what is considered each type of energy are found below.

2008 Review:

The year of the Earth Rat was ruled by the White Star. There should have beensuccess, wealth, career advancement and recognition for most of us, particularly for theRabbit, Dragon and Boar. It should have been great for those who got married, and

those who started new businesses and ventures.

2009 Feng Shui:

2009 Year of the Earth Ox promises to be a year of peace, harmony and aauspicious wave of success, prosperity and growth luck for everyone as the year is ruledby the number 9 which is the Completion or Future Prosperity Star. There will be a good

start and good ending to the year. As the year connotes luck in future prosperity, if youenhance your luck this year, there is a great chance that your wealth level will increasesignificantly.

The seeds for building future prosperity can be sown this year by creative andcourageous people, but it can get you exhausted. To counter this, place Fire energy in

the center of the house and office.

The luckiest this year is the Rooster and the Horse! The next lucky ones are theDragon, Snake, Dog and Boar.

QUICK INFO AND TIPS FOR THIS YEAR: (If you want to do feng shui to your home oroffice, this should be done before Feb. 4!!)

New Yang energy is needed to bring good fortune to the home in other words,wake up the energy of the house! Move stuff around, bring in some light, etc.

Spring cleaning! You really need to do this! Move furniture a few inches from its

place, clean the dirt around it and put back. This will awaken the energies of thehouse and of each room. Dont just clean around the furniture. You need to doyour spring cleaning before putting the Feng Shui-ing the place

Better yet, create new arrangement of furniture to face your best directions asaccording to your Pa Kua number which is based on your birth year and gender.(Youll see it under each sign and if its not there, I can compute your pa kuanumber and give you your directions!)

During the month of Feb, open doors and windows daily early in the morning tosuck in fresh air

You can use cleansing rituals (ex. using bells, singing bowls and incense) toclean the energy. I use Sandalwood incense and go around each room 3 timesclockwise. Note that I do this after spring cleaning.

The number 8 is a very lucky number from 2004-2024. In 2009, the number 9adds to luck of the lucky number 8.

IMPT : In 2009, the most auspicious direction is South East. It has the AuspiciousWealth Star bringing prosperity, career luck and happiness. Use this direction asmuch as possible. Activate with a water feature, wood energy and bright lights.

Other lucky directions : South, South West and North West

DONT face North, North East and East all this year!

Place feng shui remedies and accelerators before Feb. 4, particularly, make sureyour Five Element Pagoda is in place by then!

Its important to have the purpose of Feng Shui in mind while putting the symbolor energy in its place.

For this year, enhance Wood energy surround yourself with the color green aswell as plants. The lucky color to wear is Purple

Make use of the precious stone Jade which provides the bridge that channelsheaven luck.

Focus on the number 9 display things in nine or multiples of 9 such as a 9-rodwindchime or having 9 fish in your aquarium

Remember that even if the stars say youre not so lucky this year, there arealways remedies to counter the unlucky stars.

For education, use your personal growth direction unless its afflicted this year.

If Husband and Wife have different lucky directions, follow the lucky direction ofthe bread-winner.

Be charitable! Donate to Unicef, a seminary or convent, or your local church toget an influx of luck!

The secret of getting the most of the year is to tap the South East and avoid theNorth.

BEST DIRECTIONS BASED ON YOUR PA KUA NUMBER:

Everyone has their best and worse directions. This is based on the year of birthand gender which gets your Pa Kua number. You can get your Pa Kua number atwww.wofs.com.

Everyone has the general best directions (1st to 4th best) and each good directiondirectly affects an aspect whether for wealth, health, love and personal growth.For business, sit facing your wealth direction. For sleeping, point your head whilein bed facing your health The Health direction is the best direction to while

sleeping, unless that direction is afflicted for that particular year. However , these generally good directions have to be compared to the Flying Star

Chart every year to see if that direction is lucky for that specific year. See belowfor an example:

Bad directions follow the same rule. Generally, dont stay or face thosedirections. BUT, if the flying charts indicate a change of luck there for a particularyear, you can tap and face that direction for that year. So, for houses, its best notto live in a room that is inherently bad for you as it will only be a good year IF anauspicious star flies to that bad direction.

Under each astrological sign below, I placed the directions to face according topriority.

EXAMPLE: Below is a full explanation of how our generally good directions couldchange in a particular year. Dont worry Ox ladies, a simpler lay-out is provided later.

For OX LADIES (Feb. 3, 1973 Jan 22, 1974):

Generally - Best Directions: W (Wealth and Success), NE (Health), SW (Love),

NW (Growth). Our bad directions (from worst to best) are: S (Total Loss), N (6types of misfortunes), E (presence of troublemakers. A victim of gossip), SE (mildbad luck. Irritations and delay in projects). Look below how it applies for 2009:

West is normally the best direction because it is the direction for Wealth and

Success, BUT for 2009, the West is afflicted with the Illness Star. Do not facehere this year.

Our 2nd best direction is usually North East which is also for Health, therefore thebest position to sleep in, BUT for 2009, it is afflicted with the Argument Star.Better to stay away for this direction all together.

Our 3rd best direction is usually South West which is also for Love. It is the best

direction for this year as it also has the Heaven Star. This is the best directionfor the year!

4/33

Our 4th best direction is usually North West which is also for Personal Growth and

which is good for 2009 as it has the White Star. This is the 2nd best direction forthe year!

For 2009 only, our3rd best direction is South East because of the Auspicious

Wealth Star. It is also the direction of our ally, the Snake, so this will be beneficialto us.

For 2009 only, our4th best direction is South which houses the Romance Star.

ELEMENT SYMBOLS FOR THE ENERGIES:

You will see below that I will ask you put a certain type of energy in eachdirection. Use the info below to know what to put as a symbol of that energy.Youll notice the symbols are common sense. :D

Make sure the objects or pictures you use dont symbolize loneliness, death,darkness, hatred, war, etc. or anything negative

Water Energy You can use an aquarium, a fish bowl, a pond, a fountain, or a waterfall(that flows towards the house and not out the door). The waters should be kept moving

with fish, turtles or pumps. I also use ornaments or objects with a picture of or in theimage of a fish; anything blue or black in color; or paintings or pictures with water orremind me of water (like abstract paintings).

Earth Energy Use crystals (quartz, amethyst, jade, etc.), earthen or glass vases,paintings of pots or a brick house. You can also use a globe, a map or anything madewith glass or brown or orange in color.

Wood Energy Use lush and healthy plants or paintings/pictures/images of flowers,trees, and wooden houses. Young broad-leaved plants are ideal and flowering plantsrepresent the blossoming of your projects. I also use paintings of birds since it remindsme of trees and anything wooden or green in color.

Fire Energy Use bright lights, candles, or anything red in color. You can also use animage of the sun.

Metal Energy Use all-metal wind chimes (better with 6 hallow rods), metal vases,statues, picture frames, bowls, or coins. You can also your computer or stereoequipment, or use anything white, silver or gold in color.

2009 Five Yellow Star The star of misfortune

Despite the fact that you have the Five Yellow Star in your chart, your goodfortune will continue from last year. There will be however obstacles andunderlying problems that will cause irritation, anger and intolerance to arise. Youare blessed with truly excellent staying power and a cleverness that helps youwork your way around problems. The good news is that despite energy levelsbeing sapped, it does not distract too much from the joy de vivre that makes yoursign so lovable and attractive to others. If you use feng shui remedies for the FiveYellow Star, this year should bring some seriously promising signs of goodsuccess. Because you are compatible with the Ox, during this Ox year, you arepotentially a fireball of activity. You have the ability to rise above adversities andthis enhances your confidence, making you nice to have around. In 2009, youare popular with colleagues and friends. There is a forthrightness in the way youtackle problems and a fresh creativity in the way you approach your work.Because of the energy of the Ox year, you are positive and sociable this year.Make the effort to keep going like this and you will have a great year.

Lady Rat is an efficient lady and this year her mothering skills are at their bestdespite inner worries. There is great resilience and fortitude in her character but

just as there are challenges ahead of her, there are also many moments oftriumph and success. She will be very alert to money-making opportunities thisyear and despite the affliction of the Five Yellow, there are invisible forceshelping her success at what she starts. The 37 year old lady rat will discover that

8/33

2009 benefits them in terms of succeeding what they set out to do, althoughfinancially it may not be the year to make it big. But significant success awaitsthose who follow through on their instincts. It is advisable to overcome the urgeto give up due to initial obstacles because there are indications that whatever youbegin this year will stabilize and bring you huge satisfaction in future years.Money-wise, this year favors the lady rat born in 1960 who will enjoy superlative

financial and success luck. The only problem facing her is possible hiddenconflicts and mental confusions. Stay positive and upbeat and inner doubts willbe laid to rest.

Gentleman Rat The affliction of 2009 will force him to use his head as well ashis trained skills to get round problems but hes lucky in that this is a year whenthe overall chi energy tends to work in his favor. Older Rat born guys are advisedto keep busy and stay active as this will help subdue a tendency towards feelingdepressed. Physically you enjoy good health. It is your mental state and innerfeelings you should work at. Stay positive and let your natural exuberance andgood humor prevail. Rat Gentlemen who are in the prime of their career havegood things to look forward to this year. There is good promotion luck. This is ayear when you are creative and clever, so luck is on your side. As long as you

watch your loose tongue and do not allow any negativity to influence what yousay and how you act towards others in the work arena, you should do really well.Your potentially worst enemy this year is your tendency to be too candid in yourview of others especially of colleagues. Keep whatever negative opinions youmay have to yourself and refrain from criticizing others.

For the 73 year old Rat, there is excellent success and health luck. However, itimportant for the 73 year old to perform some good deed related to savinganimals or donating to a good charitable foundation.

For the 37 year old Rat, 2009 brings maximum success luck. But s/he needs towatch the financial outgoings and take care to not succumb to the tendency toinvest and spend without thinking. There is real danger of making some bigmistakes that lead to financial loss. Economically, your luck is very unstable this

year. To safeguard yourself from too much loss, you should perform somecharity. Make donations to temples and give money to feed the poor. To createbetter wealth luck, place a water feature in the Northern part of the house but notin the bedroom. You could also place metal energy here but water energy isstronger. (If youre serious about improving wealth luck, get Lilian Toos Rat bookand do the ritual on page 60.) The good news is that even though money luckmay be lacking in 2009, career and work luck are at their peak. This year you willgain the respect of peers and co-workers and reach an influential position whereyou are highly respected.

To avoid the Five Yellow Star, display a Five Element Pagoda in the Northernpart of your bedroom or if its a big one, in the Northern part of house. If you dontwant to get the pagoda, then put any metal energy here. You should also hang a

mantra protection plaque in the North high above doorways and entrances. Carrya symbol of the Monkey or Dragon in order to benefit from your allies goodfortune in 2009. Enhance the SE part of your house with whats written in thishandbook.

There are lots of lucky months while the only two unlucky months are July andOctober

1st month (Feb 4-March 5) Youre a Winner this Month

2nd month (Mar 6-Apr 4) Laying Strong Foundation

some vital support (that of the Tai Sui) who lends a helping hand. You can lookforward to some small successes during the year. The year at best is lukewarm.However, those who buckle down to work and stay cool will benefit from 2009sgreat promise. What is needed is greater tolerance and patience.

The Ox can be quite tireless when pursuing a cherished dream and thisdetermination is very evident in 2009. This is a year when your energy level is

strong so those of you with a clear goal and a well thought out agenda willprevail, but not without having to fight strenuously and hard. It is a year whenhard work is called for. Unfortunately, there is a tendency to be stubborn,dogmatic and impatient with other peoples viewpoints. The Ox is normally calm,almost always logical and even fair minded, so these are characteristics theyshould fall back on to take advantage of the years opportunities. Leave room forthe alternative viewpoint and do not be too hasty in your judgments. Workconsciously at staying cool and fall back on your sense of systematicorganization if you have to. Better to be boring than difficult in 2009. Many peopleadmire you for your dedication, your vision and your ideals. So better to let otherssing your praises than to do it yourself. You have never been the insecure typeso misunderstandings should not affect your confidence.

The 36 and 48 year old Oxen are not short on success luck. Just do not expectthis to be a spectacular year. You achieve what you set out to do but you do notsatisfy your own high standards. Your personality is not an especially endearingpersona this year. Make the effort to loosen up. Laugh! There is excellent newsfor the 48 year Ox as your financial luck is excellent this year and the year givesyou good energy.

Lady Ox What is quite outstanding about the female Ox is not just her ability toget things done but also the way she tackles her responsibilities. She is neither awhiner nor a complainer. What causes her ire is irresponsibility. She simplycannot and will not tolerate those who promise and do not deliver and peoplewho cannot be relied upon annoy and irritate her. In 2009, it is her misfortune tomeet up with more than her fair share of laggards. She thus finds it hard to keep

her cool, but she will also have a short fuse allowing even the most pettytransgressions on the part of others irritate her. The 36 year old Ox enjoysmoderate success but has to worry because of financial instability. The 36 yearold however enjoys the benefit from the years intrinsic energy being in sync withthe chi of the year. The power of 9 brings unseen strength to their efforts.Success lucks goes from good to better. As for the 48 year old Ox, she will havethe best year, enjoying a financial bonanza and having great health but has towatch out for spiritual obstacles. To avoid this, wear a crucifix.

Gentleman Ox will be particularly grouchy this year, nursing past grievances,complaining and demanding explanations from colleagues and employees. Oxguys are not easy to deal in 2009. He is insensitive to other peoples feelings andtouchy about imagined slights and insults. He will bury his misery in his work and

try to dissipate the tensions tearing him apart by pushing himself hard. It benefitshim to shrug off past hurts so he does not get too riled up. An Ox in temper is asight to behold! Good thing he has a long fuse and if feng shui cures are put intoplace, the affliction of the year will not affect him too excessively. Ox men will findthat the year favors those who do not respond to aggravating circumstances. The36 year old has to face money problems while the 48 year old enjoys some prettyexcellent luck at work financially and in terms of getting recognition.

The 48 year old Ox experiences an exceptional year with good success andoutstanding financial luck and great physical health luck. However, there couldbe some negative energies and niggling doubts which will keep you up at night.To counter this, try being charitable to some good cause and soften yourpersonality.

The year threatens to be a noisy one for the Ox. While generally calm, this year

they could occasionally act out of character and fly off the handle. Those notused to this side of the Ox personality could be in for a rude awakening. Calmingactivities such as yoga and meditation would greatly benefit the Ox this year.Relationships both professional and personal get strained because of yourvolatile personality. Try not to make enemies in the heat of the moment. Some ofyour words can be caustic, and some things said cannot be unsaid. Dont act onimpulse. In every situation, make it a habit to give yourself thinking time beforeacting.

To improve your luck, place a water feature in the SE and immediately donate tosome good cause. Also, place yin metal like auspicious objects in brass (yin-nothing noisy or with movement) in the NE to subdue the Argument Star. Nowindchimes in the NE. Also, remove all plants in NE corner and add fire energy

here. For luck, carry or display a symbol of the Snake or Rooster (snake isluckier). In choosing partners, choose those who are Snakes, Roosters or Rats.

Tiger(1962, 1974) - Impulsive. Thrill seeker. Passionate in love. Energetic and gutsy.Can be reckless. Exudes confidence. Emotional with extreme attitudes.

The Tigers astrological compass direction is Northeast 3.

2008 - Romance Star with Small Auspicious Star

2009 Argument Star with Robbery 2009 is an average year for you althoughyour personalized luck depends also on the kind of Tiger you are. The biggestchallenge you face will be controlling your temper. Frustrating squabbles thatshouldnt happen do, and misunderstandings can get blown out of proportion.There is a possible threat of robbery or being cheated, so double check yourdoors as well as all contracts to be signed. Use a blue rhino or an elephant withits trunk up to prevent robbery.

The Tiger person will have great strength in 2009 which will be a year whenthings go smoothly if you keep your cool. In 2009, the Tiger person benefits froman inner determination and fortitude which will help you make the most ofopportunities that open up for you. The main obstacle during the year is theinfluence of the nasty number 3 star which can bring litigation, court cases andaggravating encounters. There are sure to be misunderstandings and quarrelswhich cause problems to your sense of well-being. However, you are blessedwith excellent staying power and steely nerves. It is a mixed bag of luckexpectations that face the different Tigers, but all of you must make it a point tokeep your cool and respond to aggravations with patience and humor.

The sign of the Tiger carries some magnificent connotations in Chinesehoroscope lore. It is believed that simply being a Tiger offers automatic protectionagainst bad people such as thieves, cheats and evil minded people. Tigerspossess intrinsic amulets in their being! Alas in 2009, the Tiger does have a veryshort fuse, easy to take offense and rather hard to please. Impatience seems tobe the order of the day so the ferocious side of the Tiger personality is more onshow than the soft side. The affliction of the Argument Star hits the Tiger hardand it is advisable to use strong feng shui remedies to contain the tendency tohostility and temper tantrums. But there is saving grace and this is the Tigerswonderful sense of humor which shows through later in the year when thingsmove smoothly and career advancement open new avenues. This boosts theTigers confidence bringing forth an optimism that makes up for an underlyinghostility of attitude. Career conscious Tigers must refrain from impulsivebehaviors and those in the prime of their career must take their ambitionsseriously if they want to advance up the ladder of success. They need to keep an

eye out for the main chance and rely more on strategic thinking than on intuitionif avenues for advancement are to be maximized. In 2009, the Tigers will benefitif he/she acts true to form and rises above temporary disappointments, notallowing setbacks to get him/her down. Dont give up, especially in July aparticularly stressful month. Take heart from the fact that the latter half of theyear is much better than the first half.

Lady Tiger in 2009, there could be moments when anger will pierce through herunassailable veneer of perfect poise. She might lose her cool, but onlymomentarily. This happens when the ego of this proud lady gets hurt. Watch outthen because the female Tiger is vengeful. If she should lose face this year, shewill be unforgiving. The female Tiger is very sensitive this year because of theaffliction in her chart, but her defenses are extremely strong and she is likely toprevail in whatever battle she fights or competition she engages in. This does notmean she emerges triumphant this year. Indeed success luck is lacking andwinning appears unlikely for her in 2009, but she will fight on, never giving up,dragging the battle onto the following year! Staying power is the key to ultimatesuccess which hopefully comes when the Tiger year takes over. Financially, the59 year old lady Tiger will intimidate one and all with her amazing Midas touch.

The 35 year old may not be dazzling in terms of creating wealth this year, but thisdynamite woman also makes good money.
