Introduction by Michael Hanna and annual predications by Sallie Tsui Sien

A good example is my family, Jo is a Rat and in for a great year 2004, I am a Dog and my year will be neutral, last year 2003 was reversed for us, I had the better year ahead. Did this mean Jo did not have a good 2003? Not at all it was one of her best ever, why? Because she followed every single piece of flying star advice she gave in her monthly newsletter every month and was cautious of every decision she made, me however, I was more relaxed, did I have a good year? Yes it was also one of my best although I was less cautious than Jo.

2004 will be a different story, I will be following the flying stars from February 4^th 2004 with a fine toothcomb and in April and September I will be lying low and will not make any business decisions at all. I already have my key chain pendant of a Rabbit for protection for the year 2004 and I will be personally placing all the annual cures kit on Feb 4^th (Jo did them last year) starting at 11: 58am because this is my most auspicious hour, (you can find yours on our almanac page), will I have a good year in 2004? Absolutely. So the moral of this story please do not start worrying about if your year will be bad, just start preparing and placing your annual cures and enhancers to ensure a trouble free year and of course make sure you sign up for our free monthly newsletter so you are kept up to date with the monthly flying stars giving you even more control.

What does 2004 have in store for us? 2004 is governed by two elements – wood sitting on metal. So we have conflict as metal destroys wood and this would forecast disharmony and conflict for the year.  If you have followed our advice over the years you will know that we do not like giving full predications if they appear negative as you can manifest a problem within yourself, so all I will say is sadly expect current world events to escalate and also a major shift in governments with more younger influence in power.

In business, industries relating to wood like magazines/newspapers/books, fabrics, fashion, furniture, garden centres will see a downturn because of the conflict with metal, water & metal industries will be neutral. Earth and fire industries will do very well, so expect further increases in oil prices, on that happy note onto our predications.

2004 is the 4701st year of the Chinese calendar.

The first day of the Hsia (solar) calendar starts on
February 4th 2004 at 19:57 in China, GMT is 11:57am

Chinese New Year falls on January 22nd 2004.

write it in the sand near the water's edge."

Rat

The Rat has an excellent combination for happiness in 2004. You can expect a year full of excitement and fun. If you have been labouring in your career or preparing the ground for a new venture in the past years, 2004 will see you reap the benefits.

Your better months are January, April, August and December. If romance is at the top of your list, this is a great year for marriage especially in August. However, be very cautious in your financial and legal affairs in the months of June and July. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of an Ox with you at all times throughout the year.

Your lucky sector is the North (352.5º - 7.5º) of the home. The location of the south is in conflict with your earthly branch and therefore if there is a choice, avoid using this sector as your important room, e.g. bedroom or study/home office.

If you are relocating your work desk this year, avoid facing southwest (232.5º – 247.5º) where Tai Sui ‘Grand Duke’ resides in 2004. No matter how auspicious facing southwest may be for you personally, you must strenuously guard against doing this in all cases. This is one of the most stringent guidelines of the annual Feng Shui afflictions. Place a Dragon headed Tortoise & Pi Yao in the northeast facing southwest to appease him. You must also avoid sitting with your back to the south where the Three Killings resides this year 2004. It is more advantageous to confront him. A traditional antidote is to place a red Buddha in the south sector of your office or living room of your home.  Hang six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon and place it in the southwest and centre of home this year to control the #2 & #5 stars, you should also place a six rod metal wind chime in the centre of your home this year to weaken the #5.

Ox

After a difficult year in the year of the Sheep/Goat (2003), you will still have to rely on your methodical, dependable, hardworking, patient and careful virtues to cope with the wily influences of the Monkey year. Although the Ox and Monkey are fairly compatible in many senses, the year may bring with it some misadventure. You need to stay true to your values and convictions when faced with difficult periods and you will be rewarded. Patience and time are your principal requirements to succeed. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a Rat with you at all times throughout the year.

Your better months are January, May, September and December.  Do not take risks in June and July for they bring delays and setbacks, chaos and confusion. Place a Wu-Lou by your bedside this year especially if your bedroom is in the southwest.

Your lucky sector is the Northeast (22.5º - 37.5º) of the home or office. The location of southwest is in conflict with your earthly branch and therefore if there is a choice, avoid using this sector as your important room, e.g. bedroom or study/home office. If this is your working area and you cannot avoid it, place ceramic ornaments in the northeast corner of your room.

If you are relocating your work desk this year, avoid facing southwest (232.5º – 247.5º) where Tai Sui ‘Grand Duke’ resides in 2004. No matter how auspicious facing southwest may be for you personally, you must strenuously guard against doing this in all cases. This is one of the most stringent guidelines of the annual Feng Shui afflictions. Place a Dragon headed Tortoise & Pi Yao in the northeast facing southwest to appease him. You must also avoid sitting with your back to the south where the Three Killings resides this year 2004. It is more advantageous to confront him. A traditional antidote is to place a red Buddha in the south sector of your office or living room of your home.  Hang six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon and place it in the southwest and centre of home this year to control the #2 & #5 stars, you should also place a six rod metal wind chime in the centre of your home this year to weaken the #5. For full details on 2004 flying star analysis follow this link.

Tiger

This may be an uncomfortable and disappointing year for those born in the year of the Tiger as Monkey is Tiger’s rival in the twelve-branch cycle. Personal affairs will run smoothly, business can be successful and goals attained if you are careful. Do not overspend or overexert yourself or the year will be riddled with disappointments.  For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a Pig with you at all times throughout the year.

Your better months are February, June, October and November. There may be difficulties in the months of May and especially August. Take informed decisions and lie low during this period. Wear an Onyx or a Turquoise power beads bracelet for protection and reinforcement of your earthly branch element against the conflicting branch element of the year. This is not a good year to get married.

Your lucky sector is the Northeast (52.5º – 67.5º) especially this year as we have the #8 residing here for 2004. Enhance this zone with a Jade Crystal Tree (which is an all round powerful cure) to maintain wealth and prosperity especially if your office is at home. The location of southwest (232.5º - 247.5º) is in conflict with your earthly branch and therefore if there is a choice, avoid using this sector as your important room, e.g. bedroom or study/home office. If you cannot avoid this area, you can place a horse figurine on the left (for male) and right (for female) hand side of your desk in your office to ensure a calm year. Place a Wu-Lou by your bedside this year especially if your bedroom is in the southwest.

If you are relocating your work desk this year, avoid facing southwest (232.5º – 247.5º) where Tai Sui ‘Grand Duke’ resides in 2004. No matter how auspicious facing southwest may be for you personally, you must strenuously guard against doing this in all cases. This is one of the most stringent guidelines of the annual Feng Shui afflictions. Place a Dragon headed Tortoise & Pi Yao in the northeast facing southwest to appease him.

For full details on 2004 flying star analysis follow this link.

Hare/Rabbit

This is a smoother year for you than one might expect in a Monkey year. But under the influence of Monkey’s desire for action, you may find yourself overworked so pay attention to your health and try to rest when necessary. Your usual pleasant, conservative nature and dislike for taking risks character may prevent you from pursuing opportunities brought about by Monkey’s influence but you would do well to take advantage of what is being offered to you. Doing so may see you through next year’s (2005) difficulties especially financially.

Your better months are March, July, October and November. Do not overstrain yourself in the months of April and September for these months may bring anger and frustrations. For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Dog with you at all times throughout the year.

Your lucky sector is the East (82.5º – 97.5º) of the home or office; although this year 2004 it has unfavourable annual stars so best avoided. The location of west (262.5º - 277.5º) is in conflict with your earthly branch and therefore if there is a choice, avoid using this sector as your important room, e.g. bedroom or study/home office. If you cannot avoid this area, place fresh flowers in the east sector of the room and a Wu Lou in the west sector of the room.

If you are relocating your work desk this year, avoid facing southwest (232.5º – 247.5º) where Tai Sui ‘Grand Duke’ resides in 2004. No matter how auspicious facing southwest may be for you personally, you must strenuously guard against doing this in all cases. This is one of the most stringent guidelines of the annual Feng Shui afflictions. Place a Dragon headed Tortoise & Pi Yao in the northeast facing southwest to appease him.

Dragon      

A year full of delightful surprises and opportunities for success awaits you. With the duality of the polar forces, where success is expected, danger may come too. The influence of the year is good for Dragon enabling you to take all endeavours to greater heights, although at times this is achieved at the expense of quarrels. Do avoid legal entanglements if possible.

Your better months are April, August, September and December. Avoid taking risks or being involved in quarrels during the months of March and October for the outcome may not be what you desire. For protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a Rooster with you at all times throughout the year.

Your lucky sector is the Southeast (112.5º – 127.5º) of the home or office. The location of northwest (292.5º - 307.5º) is in conflict with your earthly branch and therefore if there is a choice, avoid using this sector as your important room, e.g. bedroom or study/home office. If you cannot avoid this area, place a red dragon in the southeast sector of the room.

If you are relocating your work desk this year, avoid facing southwest (232.5º – 247.5º) where Tai Sui ‘Grand Duke’ resides in 2004.

Snake

You will have to rely on your innate wisdom and intuition to survive the wild turmoil and extremes influences that a Monkey year has in store for you. You have to remain calm and focussed and address each experience as it arises. Progress can be made especially in business.

Your better months are May, August, September and January 05.  Avoid taking risks and be extra-patient in the months of February and November as these months may bring frustrations. For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Monkey with you at all times throughout the year.

Your lucky sector is the Southeast (142.5º – 157.5º) of the home provided it does not house unfavourable time energies. The location of northwest (322.5º - 337.5º) is in conflict with your earthly branch and therefore if there is a choice, avoid using this sector as your important room, e.g. bedroom or study/home office. If you cannot avoid this area, place a red dragon in the east-southeast sector of the room.

If you are relocating your work desk this year, avoid facing southwest (232.5º – 247.5º) where Tai Sui ‘Grand Duke’ resides in 2004.

For full details on 2004 flying star analysis follow this link.

Horse

Under the action packed influence of a Monkey year, you may see sudden gains and find what you are looking for. Have fun but be very careful, as there are indications of injuries caused by accidents. Be extra careful if you are a frequent driver or someone who works with or handles metal tools or equipment. Your better months are February, June, July and October. You may find December and January 2005 are difficult months where conflict can occur both in romance and in business. For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Goat/Ram/Sheep with you at all times throughout the year.

Your lucky sector is the South (172.5º – 187.5º) of the home or office. The location of north (352.5º - 7.5º) is in conflict with your earthly branch and therefore if there is a choice, avoid using this sector as your important room, e.g. bedroom or study/home office. If you cannot avoid this area, place a red lamp in the south sector of the room, make sure you only activate the room and do not place in south of the house.

Goat/Ram/Sheep

Do not get swept away by wild schemes or be depressed by low moments when ambitious plans cultivated last year do not bear fruit as easily as you would like them to do. It is a good year all the same as long as you remain calm. You may find stimulating and exciting relationships in your acquaintances this year but do not allow yourself to be taken advantage of.

Your better months are March, June, July and November. Do not take risks in the months of December and January 05 as these are not your best months. For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Horse with you at all times throughout the year.

Your lucky sector is the Southwest (202.5º – 217.5º) although this year I would not spend too much time here as the #2 black resides here. The location of northeast (22.5º - 37.5º) is in conflict with your earthly branch and therefore if there is a choice, avoid using this sector as your important room, e.g. bedroom or study/home office.

Monkey     

Jubilation and good fortune reign and you will benefit greatly from the influence of your own earthly branch. This is an excellent time for new endeavours. Achievements can be expected on a grand scale especially for those born in 1944 and 1956. Not only is there success in business, there is happiness in the home and this is also a great year for marriage.

Your better months are April, May, August and December. Although the year may look promising, do expect trying challenges that may darken your sunny disposition especially in the months of February, June, October and November. For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Snake with you at all times throughout the year.

Your lucky sector is the Southwest (232.5º – 247.5º) although this year I would not spend too much time here as the #2 black resides here. Do not renovate this sector of the home this year in the hope that you will be renewing the energy for the New Year as this is where Tai Sui sits and you would not want to incur his wrath by disturbing his position.

You are a great planner and schemer and your ability to predict the direction of any situation and act accordingly may find this year dogged by unforeseen difficulties and complications. You should be very careful in business this year and try to exercise patience and restraint even though these are not your strong points.

Your better months are April, May, September and January 05. The months of November and December prove the most trying months of the year especially in areas of finance. For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a dragon on you at all times throughout the year.

Dog              

The year of the Monkey brings an increase in your courage and true devotion. These influences may strengthen your already firm sense of commitment with the result that you are overly enthusiastic regarding projects that come your way. Take check and do not plunge into a situation carelessly or take unnecessary risks, as you will find you may have to begin again halfway through.

Your better months are February, March, June and October. Act cautiously in the months of April and September where material success and achievements challenge your values and difficulties may result. For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Rabbit on you at all times throughout the year.

Boar /Pig

Under monkey’s indulgent influence, social affairs and romance continue to flourish. Take extra care this year as other people may mistake your generosity and boundless capacity for giving and forgiveness as an easy target to be taken advantage of. Gambling and unnecessary risks must be avoided this year. You have a trusting nature.

You must guard your money carefully and beware of swindlers and imprudent investments this year.

Your better months are February, March, July and November. Avoid taking risks especially in the months of May and August, as these are not your best months. For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Tiger on you at all times throughout the year.

Your lucky sector is the Northwest (322.5º – 337.5º) of the home or office. The location of southeast (142.5º - 157.5º) is in conflict with your earthly branch and therefore if there is a choice, avoid using this sector as your important room, e.g. bedroom or study/home office. If you have to use this room, place metallic bells in the north-northwest corner (322.5º - 337.5º) of your office or study to attract good fortune.
