2005 Flying Star Analysis2005 Animal Predictions

This is only a general perspective guide for the twelve earthly branches of the Chinese almanac for December 2004 (Yang Fire Rat 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. The effect on individuals should be considered within the context of the monthly Flying Stars which you can find by clicking this link

Please do not think that because, for example, you are a Tiger and you read below that December 2004 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 2004 Flying Star (Xuan Kong) recommendations you will avoid bad luck even more because negative Flying Star avoidance alters your destiny in a positive way.

Your lucky sector is the East-Northeast (52.5º – 67.5º) of the home provided it does not house unfavourable time energies. 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 west-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.

hare / rabbitYou will have to be a little conservative in your endeavours as this is not a very favourable month for Rabbit. Pay attention to detail at work or minor errors may bring grave consequences later on. There may also be unexpected expenditure for which you may have not accounted. Expect a small loss in wealth. Pay good attention to health. Rabbits occupying a south room should try to use an east or southeast room for the month.

Ideal colours for the month are lemon and light grey.

For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Dog with you at all times.

Your lucky sector is the East (82.5º – 97.5º) of the home provided it does not house unfavourable time energies.

horseDo not force issues this month or you will end up walking in treacle whatever you do. Keep your expectations low, dedicate your effort and time to the tasks at hand and keep a low profile for the month. All will turn out well next month. Find support in the family and do not be too strong-headed if things do not go your way with them. The conflict of elements during the month may cause you to lose your temper and be unreasonable. Patience and understanding are what you need.

Ideal colours for the month are grey and red.

For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Goat/Ram/Sheep with you at all times.

Your lucky sector is the South (172.5º – 187.5º) of the home provided it does not house unfavourable time energies.

This can be a successful month for most Monkeys. Do not overstretch yourself. Busy schedules bring weak health if you are not careful. Young Monkeys striding out into the career world will meet with success. For middle-aged Monkeys, there are hidden perils for those who wish a change of career. Grab the opportunity when it presents itself if you believe the timing is right. However, you must look before you leap.

Suitable colours for the month are grey and red.

For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Snake with you at all times.

Your lucky sector is the West-Southwest (232.5º – 247.5º) of the home provided it does not house unfavourable time energies. 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. The location of east-northeast (52.5º – 67.5º) 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.

rooster December is generally a good month for the Rooster especially young Roosters starting out. However, beware of ill fated advice as this not a time for investment. Gains and rewards will come through your hard work and input into your projects. Be careful of those bringing gossip and scandal as they might give you a false picture of what is around you.

Keep your sense of judgement acute particularly with respect to whom you mix with and, on the same note, it is advisable to keep social engagements to a minimum. Ideal colours for the month are beige and black.

Keep a symbol of the dragon (or a dragon key ring) with you at all times to give you support.

Your lucky sector is the West (262.5º – 277.5º) of the home provided it does not house unfavourable time energies. The location of east (82.5º – 97.5º) 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.

boar/pig The Boar will meet the light at the end of the tunnel. The influence of the month will bring success to your endeavours and happiness in yourself and in your dealings with others. There is hope for a change of career, salary rise, promotion and projects at hand will achieve the desired results. With success, it is hard to avoid small-minded people who will try to spoil your fun. Enjoy the wonderful influence of the month but stay humble and keep your feeling of content well hidden.

Be considerate in your dealings with others, keep their feelings in mind and stay reasonable. Ideal colours for the month are blue and beige.

For protection you should have a key chain pendant of a Tiger on you at all times.

Your lucky sector is the North-Northwest (322.5º – 337.5º) of the home provided it does not house unfavourable time energies. The location of south-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. You can also wear a hematite power beads bracelet to help you increase resistance to stress.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this information. As I said at the beginning, if the prediction for your earthly branch is not so good, you can avoid any potential problems by following our advice above and also by being aware of the monthly flying stars. Good luck and have a wonderful December.
