2021 Feng Shui Flying star chart

2020 has been an eventful year so far with Covid-19 and what is expected from 2021? Well, it will be nowhere near as bad as 2020 but still troubled with many changes ahead although they can be very positive changes expected and I am looking forward to next year although it will take some time to get back to normal I think.

The beginning of Chinese New Year 2021 (according to the lunar calendar) begins on the New Moon which in 2021, will be on the 12th February 2021; this will take place after the Winter Solstice and the event is celebrated by millions of people in every single country and area of the world that you can think of. Chinese New Year is a time of new beginnings and signifies a fresh start for everyone. Chinese New Year is very much a family event where the social side of things is concerned and is a time of reunion and thanksgiving. Below you will find everything you will need to know about Chinese New Year 2021 year of the Yin Metal Ox…

Those born in the year of the Sheep/Goat could be affected by the conflicting influences of the year of the Yin Metal Ox. Although the Goat is the conflict animal of the Oxen year, those born in the year of the Goat should be aware of potential difficulties they may encounter during the year and take extra care in whatever they do without taking unnecessary risks in all aspects of their life. Regardless, if you follow the advice here you can avoid many problems and enjoy a great 2021 in our opinion so do not panic.

It should be noted that there are five different types of each Chinese Animal (fire, water, wood, earth, metal) which depends on the year you were born and each different animal will have different predictions for the year ahead; you can find out more about this in our 2021 Feng Shui guide which should be released in November 2021 so please be sure to check back on this page.

For example:
Metal Rabbit: 1951
Water Rabbit: 1963
Wood Rabbit: 1919, 1975
Fire Rabbit: 1927, 1987
Earth Rabbit: 1939, 1999

The degree of this influence varies from one person to another. One of the major considerations is the heavenly stem of the year in which one was born so if you were born in 1931 or 1991 which would be a Metal Goat, the year will not be bad at all.

Holidays and observances in China in 2021

In China, there are seven legal holidays in any year, namely New Year’s Day, Chinese New Year (Spring Festival), Qingming Festival (Tomb-Sweeping), Labour Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day.

Amongst these official holidays are four traditional Chinese holidays, which is always subject to the lunar calendar. The double third festival is on April 14th 2021 although this is only celebrated by Zhuang Nationality in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Although the solar (Hsia) calendar commences the New Year at the beginning of Spring, which usually falls between the 3rd and 4th of February, the lunar (Yueh) calendar marks the New Year on the second new moon after the winter solstice.  Celebrations and festivities for the Chinese New Year are held on this date. In 2021, the Lunar Chinese New Year, which also known as ‘Spring Festival,’ falls on the 12th February 2021.

2020 Memorable dates for Chinese New Year

12 thoughts on “Chinese New Year of the yin metal Ox and Feng Shui for 2021 – everything you need to know and so much more

  1. Hi Daniel Hanna,

    I am having trouble understanding my sleep direction. If I am sleeping in the west sector, my head is pointing towards the northwest and my feet are pointing towards the southeast. what would be considered my sleep direction northwest or southeast? please let me know.

    1. Hi Nanah,

      With sleeping directions, you would use the crown of your head as your sleep facing direction and the soles of your feet would be your sitting direction. For your sleep direction, this would be the northwest if you have taken the compass reading by using the top of your head.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

  2. hi good day!

    i have 2 aquariums , 1 in south east -outdoor terrace besides my main door and 1 in east area – indoor living room. i know southeast is not suitable location for fish tank this year, but i would like to put aquarium in my west area but this location is my kitchen. can i put a fish tank in lavatory of my kitchen ? a fishbowl? i know this is not recommended. but do you have suggestion sir?

    thank you

    1. Hi Jose,

      You could put a small tank in the kitchen in the west as long as it won’t be knocked or disturbed and is kept clean at all times this year.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

    1. Hi Julia,

      I would recommend placing a salt cure and Six Chinese I-Ching coins in a row here for the year and try to avoid slamming the door as much as possible.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

      1. Hi Daniel,

        Thank you so much for your reply.
        Can you help me explain about the salt water please, can I use a normal bowl and do I need to change the water everyday?
        And also, can I put wind chime at the main door?

        Thank you.

        Regards,
        Julia

        1. Hi Julia,

          Here is a link with instructions on how to place and set up salt cures – https://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/saltwatercure.htm

          If your front door is at the southeast this year, you can place a wind chime there although it’s generally best to avoid the other compass areas unless you have a good understanding of Flying stars as these are usually used to treat the annual #5 star.

          I hope this helps.

          Kind regards,
          Daniel

  3. I received my salt water cures. The second time I’ve ordered, thank you! After discarding my cures from last year, I’ve place the new cures in the North and the Southwest areas of my home. Is it okay to place the SW cure on the floor? It’s in a corner with plants disguising the cure, still completely exposed to the air. Thank you.

    1. Hi Lien,

      I’m glad to hear your order got you safely 🙂

      The salt cures need to be placed in the north and southeast for the annual #2 and #5. That will be fine to place the salt cures on the floor as long as they are somewhere that they won’t be knocked.

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

  4. My divorce is a circus. I am May2/1980. I am fighting hard for the safety of my three kids. Am I fighting the right fight? Sometimes I feel I am fighting destiny and just stuck.

    1. Hi PD,

      I would recommend carrying on your fight and remember what you’re fighting for.

      The annual #7 star flies into the northwest on the 3rd of February and if not treated with water colours and cures, this can cause a lot of legal issues so I would recommend reading up on this as it can make a huge improvement in your ongoing issues.
      https://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/flyingstars2021/7star.htm

      I hope this helps.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel
