This is only a general perspective guide for the twelve earthly branches of the Chinese almanac for April 2005 (Yang Earth Tiger month). In this, I have attempted to point out the factors that may affect you beneficially this month and also those of which you should beware according to your animal sign.

Please do not think that because, for example, you are a Dog and you read below that April 2005 will not be good, you will therefore have a bad month. No. A positive attitude and hard work combined with knowledge of what the month ahead has in store for you will enable you to avoid many problems and disappointments. If you follow our annual 2005 Flying Star (Xuan Kong) recommendations, you will avoid bad luck even more because negative Flying Star avoidance alters your destiny in a positive way.

hare / rabbitA sociable month but you must use your powers of perception to evaluate the friends and acquaintances made during the month.

Have fun but, at the same time, do not get yourself entangled in insincere relationships.

Know who your friends are. You will need to keep your wits about you and try and look at every angle whether you are dealing in business or even with your friends.

You are in affinity with the Dog. Keep a pendant or a key chain pendant of a Dog and / or a Tiger Eye power bead bracelet with you for protection. In addition, you can also place a little figurine of a dragon on your work desk for further support.

Your lucky sector is the East (82.5º – 97.5º) of the home. Unfortunately in 2005, this location is afflicted by the Three Killings and this sector is also in confrontation with Tai Sui (Grand Duke of Jupiter). Make sure you have a Pi Yao sitting in the east facing the west to appease him.

If this is your study or bedroom, and there are no other rooms available, try your utmost not to occupy the east or west sector of the room. Make use of the west or south sectors of the room instead this month. In addition, hang a wooden Wu-Lou, in the east corner of the room or your bed. If the east is your office or study, place some round items e.g. clear crystal ball (not rose quartz), small metal items or a blue round paperweight on the desk.

Beneficial colours for the Rabbit in the year 2005 are white, yellow and orange. Avoid blue, black and green colours if you can during the year.

rooster Good luck is on the cards this month and all may therefore go smoothly but you would do well not to raise your expectations too high. Expect a very good month in May but for this month just be aware of offers that seem to good to be true, they may be but just be aware.

If your office is located in the south or west it will be even better and it good to have a crystal globe on your desk. If your office is located in the north or southeast make sure you place a Wu Lou or six Chinese coins tied in a row with red ribbon.

Keep a symbol of the dragon (or a dragon key ring) with you at all times for protection. You can also place a little figurine of a Dragon on your work desk for additional support.

Your lucky sector is the West (262.5º – 277.5º) of the home or office. However, in 2005, this is the location of Tai Sui (Grand Duke of Jupiter, one of the annual afflictions). Although less harmful than directly facing Tai Sui, it is traditionally not advisable to occupy the same west location. If you cannot avoid this west location, place a Pi Yao in the east corner of your room facing west to appease Tai Sui.

dog This is a time to act cautiously for there may be difficulties ahead. This is especially so with travel, whether on short or long journeys, as it is an accident prone month. Do take extra care with safety. This is only a precaution and it does not mean something bad will happen, having good Feng Shui is sometimes about just being aware.

For instance I am a Dog but this does not mean I will be hiding all month and not driving, it just means I will drive with care and take no risks and because my office is located in the south, this month will be good as the flying star for the south is good this month and year.

If your office is located in the south or west it will be even better and it good to have a crystal globe on your desk. If your office is located in the north or southeast make sure you place a Wu Lou or six Chinese coins tied in a row with red ribbon.

For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Rabbit on you at all times. You can also place a little figurine of a Dragon on your work desk for additional support.

Your lucky sector is the West-Northwest (292.5º – 307.5º) of the home or office. However, in 2005, this is the location of the annual 5 Yellow and if your room is also located here, you may encounter obstacles in your endeavours and weak health. If you are unable to move out of this location, make sure you are not occupying the northwest corner of the room as well. If this is your study or a bedroom, place some metal ornaments (e.g. a golden Wu-Lou or six Chinese Coins) in the northwest corner of the room.

Beneficial colours for the Dog in the year 2005 are red, purple, orange and green. Avoid wearing too many white, grey and black colours.
