What does 2024 have in store for the Rat?

As the Rat enters period 9 on the 4^th of February 2024, they will be very eager to make the most of the year and while this is looking to be a busy year ahead, they can look forward to an overall productive and rewarding year in 2024.

2024 will be a year of enormous change for all of the twelve Chinese animals with the beginning of period 9 Flying star Feng Shui and also the year of the Yang Wood Dragon and to make the most of this influence and get the best start to the Dragon year, take a look at the 2024 Chinese New Year page for more information for 2024.

Health for the Rat in 2024

The year of the Dragon is looking to be an extremely busy year for the Rat, and they will need to make sure that they take time out regularly to relax and recharge their batteries, or they could soon find themselves suffering from burnout. The Rat is at risk of stress during 2024, and they will need to manage this carefully by practising mindfulness and meditation when necessary. Any Rats who do not have the best diet would be wise to make positive improvements in the Dragon year.

Work and career for the Rat in 2024

The Rat’s work life is looking particularly promising and those who are self-employed or run their own business could see their career climbing to new heights, provided they put the effort in and also appease the annual Flying stars for 2024. Rats who are employed in a company can also look forward to progress in their career this year, and those who work hard and show dedication in their workplace can see significant results this year.

Those looking to change careers and those looking for work in general will benefit from remaining consistent in their search and by approaching potential employers as soon as they find an available position, this will show that the Rat is a dedicated and keen applicant and will likely lead to quick, successful employment.

Finances for the Rat in 2024

The Rat will need to closely monitor their outgoings during 2024 as they will likely encounter unexpected costs this year. By setting money aside when possible, they will be able to make bigger purchases in 2024 without having to worry too much about where the money is coming from. This is not looking to be a year of money worries, although it will definitely work in the Rat’s favour if they budget their money well during the Dragon year.

Older Rats should try to give some thought to their long-term money goals during 2024, as the choices they make this year could put them in a comfortable position when they enter retirement.

I would recommend placing a Baoyou Zusui Master Cure in the southwest of your home and office in 2024, as we have the annual #9 star fly into here for the year. The #9 star has now become the primary wealth star for period 9, and we can benefit from strong wealth luck here,, which will ensure that finances are as good as they can be throughout 2024.

Relationships for the Rat in 2024

The Rat’s love life is looking to go well during the year of the Dragon, and there will be many accomplishing major milestones with their partner this year. In order to benefit from good relationship luck, the Rat should make sure that they do not neglect their partner this year as this could lead to issues; try to include loved ones in plans regularly and communicate often throughout 2024.

Single Rats can benefit from strong Peach Blossom luck in 2024, and those who are looking for a relationship could find a significant partner this year, although they may go through a few short-term relationships before meeting someone with good prospects for the future.

To make sure relationships with loved ones go as smoothly as possible during the year of the Dragon, I would recommend placing a Yuanmeng Tiantian wish and romance enhancer in the north from the 4^th of February 2024 to the 3^rd of February 2025. The #8 star has taken the role of the relationship star as the #4 star has become inauspicious in period 9.

Social and family life for the Rat in 2024

The Rat’s social life is looking to bring a lot of joy to their life, and they should find themselves kept busy with friends, family, and loved ones throughout the year of the Dragon. The Rat should find that they meet a lot of new people this year, and they will be able to make many new friends, some of who will become long-term friends in future years. This is a great year for the Rat to socialise and network with new people and explore new situations.

Overall synopsis for the Rat in 2024

Overall, 2024 Is looking to be a very promising year for the Rat, with a lot to look forward to in different areas of their life. The Rat should practice good spending habits this year in order to make the most of their money; careless overspending could bring issues so please spend time researching big purchases. Wishing you a fantastic year of the Dragon.

As a Rat, you are in affinity with the Ox. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of an Ox, or a gold-plated Chinese Animal protection Talisman of an Ox with you at all times throughout the year in 2024.

Your lucky sector: (astrological zone) is the North (352.5º – 7.5º) of the home or office. For full details on 2024 Flying star analysis follow this link.

How to enhance wealth, luck, business and career for the Rat in 2024:

The most powerful and influential cure and enhancer in 2024 is called a Baoyou Zusui Master cure and must only be used in a Yang Wood Dragon (Jia Chen) year; this powerful amulet and protective talisman cure is placed to enhance the annual #9 wealth and career star, which has become the prominent wealth star as we enter period 9 flying star Feng Shui from 4th February 2024. In previous years, we have been enhancing the #8 star with the Master cure, although our main focus will now be the #9 star as this star carries the strongest energy during period 9.

This cure is only known to a few specialist Feng Shui Grand Masters, and in the old days and even now in Asia, you would need to employ a specialist Feng Shui Grand Master to call at your home or business. They would come along with a specialist zhuanke (seal carver) who would spend many hours carving the secret engravings onto the square plate with a powerful Taoist inscription for the Jia Chen year, which would be carved on a ceramic or clay-painted tile, usually formed from the same materials that were used for traditional roof tiles that were only reserved to be used on palaces and temples. The seal carver (zhuanke) and Feng Shui Master were traditionally hired by emperors and the very wealthy and were seen as a symbol of great wealth and power; this took many years of studying to perfect this specialist art form.

This is a potent enhancer and is said to create wealth, prevent its loss, avoid bad luck in 2024, and permeate luck throughout the whole building.

To create this enhancer and cure during period 9, you need a mirrored finish; 3000 years ago, mirrors did not exist, and they created this Master Cure by using a clay or, ideally ceramic tile and many years later, this was adapted by Feng Shui Masters across the world to turn this traditional cure into a much more powerful cure to use coloured glass as this has more of a reflective quality to help the energy of the cure permeate throughout the whole home in a Yang Wood Dragon year, and this plate is as good as you could ever get and extremely powerful to create wealth and also prevent its loss and avoid bad luck in 2024. The most crucial part of this cure and enhancer is the golden five element pagoda that is placed to enhance and protect existing and future wealth in 2024 from the energy of the #9 star where the Master cure sits and also the #5 star where the pagoda is placed on the plate, making this a very powerful enhancer and one that we have gone to lengths creating and sourcing the correct elements which took us over two years.

This is one of the most influential and commanding cure and enhancer for wealth, health, relationships and protection, and because this cure is very important for wealth in 2024, we included it standard in all our 2024 cures and enhancers kits. If you follow this link, you will find full details of the 2024 flying star analysis follow this link.

How to enhance romance for the Rat in 2024:

As we enter period 9, the #4 star that we have been using to enhance love, relationships and romance will become an inauspicious star and will need to be weakened with fire cures for the next twenty years to avoid relationship issues. The #8 star will take the role of the relationship star in period 9, and we will enhance this star by using earth and fire cures. For 2024, the #8 star has fallen into the north, and we will be enhancing this area by placing a  Yuanmeng Tiantian wish and romance enhancer.

Romance, academic, relationship, finances and creative studies can be enhanced in the north palace (#8 star) and southwest (#9 star) of your home; click here for further details. While this #8 star is a very auspicious star, not placing the relevant cures and enhancers can lead to wanted and unwanted romantic opportunities in the household, especially if you have the main entrance or an important room like a master bedroom or living room.

You should also introduce some fire and earth colours to the north during 2024, such as red, orange, purple, burgundy, beige, yellow, terracotta and brown. You can introduce these colours with a doormat, rug, cushion cover, sofa throw, curtains or similar; it is very easy to do.

How can the Rat avoid bad luck in 2024?

The annual #3 star has flown into the central palace for 2024 and will need to be treated with care and attention, as it is usually much easier to activate an inauspicious star in the central palace. When the 3 star is activated or left untreated, it will spread to all of the compass sectors around the home, bringing all sorts of issues ranging from stress, legal issues, disputes, loss of wealth, theft and arguments. Luckily, this palace can quickly be resolved and kept settled with the proper cures and enhancers.

If you are unsure about using traditional cures and enhancers in your home or office, at the very least, I would hang a set of six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon and also place a salt water cure in the west to control and weaken the annual #5 star this year.

For full details on the 2024 flying star analysis, follow this link. This is very important, especially if you have the main door, bedroom, office, lounge or other important room in the south, west, centre or northwest.

This is just a small part of what you can do to ensure 2024 will be a good year, and to enhance it further, I would suggest checking out the monthly almanac, flying stars and animal predictions, as it not only recommends good and bad days to carry out specific tasks, it will also advise if it is suitable for your animal sign.

If you would like to be informed in advance of the monthly, annual and fixed flying stars giving you the ultimate control of your home or business, you should consider our period 9 advanced Feng Shui software; it is used by thousands of Feng Shui Masters, Practitioners and students throughout the world.

The Three Killings – south (142.5 – 217.5)

Please avoid noisy renovations in the south of your home or workplace when possible during 2024, as we have the Three Killings located here for the year. Try to avoid major digging such as foundations in this area this year, although digging small holes for plants or fence posts will be fine.

If you have no option but to perform work in the south during 2024, I would strongly recommend placing a six-hollow rod metal wind chime while the work is being carried out and for a few days after. We take this very seriously at the Feng Shui Store, as we’ve seen some nasty events over the past 43 years when this energy has been disturbed.

If you have a door located in the south this year, please take great care when opening and closing the door to ensure it is not slammed. Avoid the influence of the Three Killings by opening and shutting the door calmly or installing a soft close hinge.

We also have the annual #7 robbery star located in the south during 2024, and when this area is activated, it can cause a lot of issues related to illness and theft, so please treat this area with care. A traditional and powerful cure to keep this influence calm in 2024 is to place a Lie Taobi Biangu Rice cure in the south of your home and workplace for the year, along with a Jin Yi Lang protection amulet.

Urgent repairs to your home or office in the west will need a cure to prevent any negative consequences. You can place a six-rod hollow metal rod wind chime between the building and where the work is being carried out, or ideally, contact a professional Feng Shui Consultant to select an auspicious date to start the work.

Annual #5 yellow Flying star – west palace.

From the 4^th February 2024, the annual five yellow star will fly into the west of every home, office and building for the year. The #5 star will remain inauspicious throughout period 9 and should be treated with the same care and cures that we used during period 8. When activated with noise or regular traffic, this inauspicious influence can bring disaster, illness, lawsuits and significant financial issues, making this a crucial area to tread carefully during the year of the Dragon.

It is highly recommended that you keep the west of your home or office calm and settled as often as possible during 2024 to avoid activating this area and avoid any building work or noisy activities. To control and weaken the influence of the annual five star, place a set of six Chinese i-ching coins tied with red ribbon, a six-rod hollow metal wind chime and a salt water cure in the west to avoid the problems that are associated with the #5 yellow disaster star.

A powerful and vital cure to place in the northwest of your home or office during 2024 is to place a set of six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon in your building to weaken and appease the annual #5 yellow star, which is why we have included in all of our Annual cures and enhancers kits this year.

Tai Sui (The Grand Duke of Jupiter) – southeast (112.5 – 127.5)

Like the Three Killings, Tai Sui does not like being disturbed. The effects of Tai Sui can be good or bad depending on the annual flying stars that coincide with its location.

If your font door is located in the southeast during 2024, please try to avoid slamming the door as much as possible, as this is a very quick way to anger Tai Sui. If you have a main bedroom or living space in the southeast this year, try to keep noise levels to normal volume and avoid playing the TV or music too loud that you can’t easily speak over the top of it. The traditional method to appease Tai Sui for the year of the Dragon is to place a Li Cheng Tai Sui plaque in the southeast of your home or workplace throughout the whole of 2024; this cure will pay respect and also appease the Deity for the year ahead and also enhance the annual #2 star with care.

By paying respect to the Grand Duke of Jupiter, we can weaken or avoid the problems this can bring.

Sui Po (Year Breaker) – northwest (292.5 º -307.5 º)

Sui Po year breaker will fall into the northwest for 2024 and will occupy the compass sector directly opposite Tai Sui, which will also have the annual #4 star fall here. For period 9, the #4 star has become inauspicious and, when activated with too much noise and activity, can cause a lot of problems to the occupants of the home or workplace. To settle this energy, please place a Zhuanweiweian protection amulet in the northwest to weaken the annual #4 star and keep this area calm.

Please avoid too much noise in the northwest this year and avoid ground-breaking and renovation. When Sui Po is disturbed, this area can and usually will cause immediate health problems, especially concerning the elderly, so please be very careful with the northwest of your home or office this year.

Please do not panic if the northwest, southeast, south or west of your home or workplace has a bedroom, office, living room or other regularly used room in one of these areas; start preparing to place your 2024 cures and enhancers kit as of the 4^th February to ensure a trouble-free year and also cleanse any old cures that you will be reusing this year. To give you even better control, use our advanced Feng Shui period 9 software, as this provides a sophisticated analysis of every home or office facing any direction in any part of the world.
