The Twelve Earthly Branches in the 8th Month of the year of the Yin Wood Rooster
From 7th September to 7th October 2005

“Life has taught us that love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.”
This is only a general perspective guide for the twelve earthly branches of the Chinese almanac for September 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 a Rabbit and you read below that September 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.

Your success may cause a rival to become jealous so be aware and watch out for unscrupulous characters. The problem could also be with someone you trusted, so think twice before parting with secrets with friends. There is romance in abundance too but those with whom you are with may well be insincere so please make allowances for them this month.
The month will be good for you just be aware without being paranoid.
Be careful if your bedroom or office or any important room is located in the northwest, southwest or west this month and make sure you follow the monthly flying star advice. If your office or bedroom is located in the south or northwest make sure you place a Wu Lou or six Chinese coins tied in a row with red ribbon for the month.
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.

Work is challenging and the Ox needs to avoid unnecessary quarrels. Although you have a natural need for recognition of your endeavours, this recognition may not occur this month. So do not force issues and keep a low profile.
Look forward to a better month in October although September will not be that bad.

A month characterised by minor difficulties. Nevertheless, everything will be fine if you tread with care and stay true to your values. You can look forward to an active social life but beware a conflict of personalities.
If there is one month in the year that you have to keep a level and sensible head, this is it. The month will be good if you think twice before reacting or voicing opinions.

You can expect a difficult month. This is because your earthly branch clashes with the year and month’s pillar which may bring financial strain, anger and frustration. In addition, you must take extra care of your own safety when you are out and about as accidents and injuries are indicated. Those with a bedroom in the northwest palace should avoid this room at all costs. To cap it all, health could be an issue this month. Wear a hematite or Tiger eye power bead to keep you focused and an amethyst one for keeping you in good health. I do not like these to sound really negative but the rabbit must take care this month and it is better to be forewarned as you can avoid many problems.
Avoid making important decisions this month and be careful when parting with money. Remember achieving good Feng Shui is about being aware of potential problems and just because I say that the month could be bad it does not mean it will be.
Be careful if your bedroom or office or any important room is located in the northwest, southwest or west this month and make sure you follow the monthly flying star advice. If your office or bedroom is located in the south or northwest make sure you place a Wu Lou or six Chinese coins tied in a row with red ribbon for the month.
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.

For protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a Rooster with you at all times. A Turquoise power bead bracelet is also good support for Dragon this year.

There are unforeseen difficulties at work or in business and what is worse; stress and frustration may bring you ill health. It is crucial that you look after yourself properly and be practical in trying to solve your problems. Although by no means an easy month, all should end well.

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).

If you cannot avoid this west location, place a Pi Yao in the east corner of your room facing west to appease Tai Sui.
