The Twelve Earthly Branches in the 6th Month of the year of the Yin Wood Rooster
From 6th July to 7th August 2005
© By Michael Hanna 2005
This is only a general perspective guide for the twelve earthly branches of the Chinese almanac for July 2005. 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 an Ox and you read below that July 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.
Rat
05 | 24 | 10 |

A fairly sociable month where you will get to meet new people. Apart from being enjoyable, you may find that new opportunities in business and in friendship arise. Although on the whole it should be a good month just be aware that trusted friends could turn on you, and be careful as new opportunities arise to make sure you don’t leap in without checking over the small print first. If you work at home try and locate yourself in the north of the home or at least the north part of your office.
Be careful if your bedroom or office or any important room is located in the southeast or northwest this month and make sure you follow the monthly flying star advice.
Your lucky sector is the North (352.5º – 7.5º) of the home or office. This month the north is good and if you are a student or wanting to enhance your career you should place a crystal ball or globe beside your desk. Make sure you follow the monthly flying star advice.
For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of an Ox with you at all times. You can also place a little statue of an Ox on your work desk for support.
Beneficial colours for the Rat in the year 2005 are orange, yellow and green. Avoid grey, blue and white colours if you can.

Yet again this month, you may have to be prepared for tight cash flow. You may well find that outgoings are higher than income with all that this entails. Nevertheless, do not over-extend yourself. As long as you were careful the previous month, you will overcome this month’s difficulties.
Please also take care of your health this month as there is potential for stress levels to be high and cause sickness. Remember having good Feng Shui is about being aware of potential problems and just because I write about problems it does not mean they will manifest. Next month is a much better forecast.
Be extra careful if your bedroom or office or any important room is located in the southeast or northwest this month and make sure you follow the monthly flying star advice.
For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a Rat with you at all times.
Your lucky sector is the North-Northeast (22.5º – 37.5º) of the home or office.

28 Jan |
This is a calm month when you should not charge around in order to keep yourself busy. You can relax and enjoy yourself and, in particular, spend more time with the family. Money luck is very good this month and make hay while the sun shines.
Pay particular attention to your partner or loved ones as whilst the month will seem much better than previous months it can make you forget about the people who have supported you over the year. Be very careful when thinking about plagiarising other peoples hard work and think about Karma. Whatever you give in this world comes back good or bad.
Be careful if your bedroom or office or any important room is located in the southeast or northwest this month and make sure you follow the monthly flying star advice.
This month the north is good and if you are a student or wanting to enhance your career you should place a crystal ball or globe beside your desk.
For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a pig with you at all times.
Your lucky sector is the East-Northeast (52.5º – 67.5º) of the home or office, if you want to enhance or attract new relationships place a pair of mandarin ducks in the southeast or south part of your bedroom this month.
Beneficial colours for the Tiger in the year 2005 are green, blue, grey and black. Avoid orange, yellow and red colours if you can during the year.

Events will flow smoothly for Rabbit as long as you keep a low profile. If you do not, the elements will work against you which may well result in you suffering setbacks and difficulties in your endeavours both at work and in relationships.
When dealing with people try and keep your emotions cool as your hot head can get you into deep trouble, so a diplomatic approach is needed this month and really throughout the year. Wear a hematite or Tiger eye power bead to keep you focused and an amethyst one for keeping you in good health.
Be careful if your bedroom or office or any important room is located in the southeast or northwest this month and make sure you follow the monthly flying star advice.
You are in affinity with the Dog. Keep a pendant or key chain 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.

Dragon’s affairs will run smoothly this month but you should not get too uptight because of the perceived incompetence of others. This is a good time to set a period aside for a vacation and relaxation. Money can be good this month and unexpected travel could be good news for business. Be very careful when thinking about plagiarising other peoples hard work and think about Karma. Whatever you give in this world comes back good or bad.

Once again, exciting social times lie in wait. Avoid the temptation to be dramatic for nothing much can be achieved by this route. Do not set your expectations too high as this will almost certainly lead to disappointment. It would be better just to enjoy the lovely time as it comes. For females it can be very good for romance this year but for male snakes be aware of being taken advantage off as it could cost you dearly. Remember good Feng Shui is about being aware of potential problems and just because I say this it does not mean you have to mistrust your partner this month.
Be careful if your bedroom or office or any important room is located in the southeast or northwest this month and make sure you follow the monthly flying star advice.
You should keep a symbol of the monkey (or a monkey key ring) with you at all times for protection.
Your lucky sector is the South-Southeast (142.5º – 157.5º). To enhance this corner of the room, place a table or standing lamp in this southeast sector of your room. An object or image of a sunset will do nicely.

Enjoy the calming influence this month brings and try and pamper yourself with a vacation when you can relax in pleasant surroundings and good company. If you have to be at work, do not over-extend yourself as minor illnesses are indicated.
If you are a male and in a relationship you may have to work harder in the relationship this month as without commitment on your part there could be problems this month so please make sure you spoil your partner and show them how much you care.
If you get upset by others, try not to let it get you down as it can affect your health so please take care of yourself both mentally and physically. For protection against physic forces wear some hematite beads or amethyst. You have good months in August & September to look forward to so not be despondent.

This is the ideal time to plot and plan your ideas and projects. This may well turn out to be a pleasant but rather busy month. This is one of the best times in the year for you to write down all your personal goals and place them in the south of your home but make sure it is in a place that you can see it daily and one by one try and achieve all that you have written down. Enjoy the next two months ahead.
You would be amazed at what you can achieve with a positive outlook and do not be scared of making your goals high, if you place some quartz crystal especially amethyst along with your goal list it will enhance it further.

This is a month to pay special attention to your health so please try and take time out to rest especially if you are an older Rooster. This is so important this month. It is not all bad though as you could receive some unexpected good news. This month in particular it is important to have protection and having a symbol of a Dragon close to you is vital to help ease any problems.
Be extra careful if your bedroom or office or any important room is located in the southeast or northwest this month and make sure you follow the monthly flying star advice.

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.
Beneficial colours for the Rooster in the year 2005 are red, purple, beige and yellow. Avoid blue, black and green.

Do not get too pessimistic and worried when faced with difficulties at work which are more than likely due to a conflict of personalities. Difficult as it may be, this is a time to stay balanced and look for solace in your family. Be careful of people who you thought of as friends stabbing you in the back and also be aware that the clash of elements can also cause family disharmony. This is a good month to keep low and ensure your tactful nature is on full alert. August is a much more promising month for the Dog.

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.
