2010~ Yang Metal Tiger
Solar Calendar
February 4th

In Chinese culture the Tiger is a symbol of power, force and strength. It is considered the king of all animals as the pattern of stripes on their forehead resembles the symbol for the word “King” in Chinese. It is the third animal on the 12 wheel zodiac taking the position of Northeast and winter season.

There are 5 types of Tiger years (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire & Earth). 2010 is a Metal Tiger year. The Tiger naturally is a wood element quality, so this year being yang metal in the stem creates a clash of energies with the wood quality of the Tiger. If we think about the qualities of wood; (growth, upward moving, new beginnings, visionary, proactive in projects, high activity levels, goal achievers), and the qualities of metal; (focused, passionate, gathering, contracting inward, honest and methodical), these energies stifle each other. Because of this direct assault, we may find the year of 2010, at least the first half of the year, to be more about cutting back adventurous plans that the Tiger energy thrives on, and being more conservative. The sense of rules being set by the metal energy will not hold up very well, as the Tiger can be rather rebellious and impulsive.

In the past Tiger years were rather tumultuous, so we can expect the same in 2010. The Tiger’s volatile and impetuous nature will have a tendency to create a hectic and chaotic pace for all. The key will be to tread slowly and become like the Tiger in the forest slowly searching for his prey before exposing himself fully. Since the Tiger’s wood energy naturally gravitates towards starting new projects, it is likely to see this happen. Just be cautious, tread slowly and stay focused as the Tiger’s hasty attitude can cause any new project to fizzle out.

The Tiger is also one about stirring up change, so 2010 is likely to be a year about exactly that on every level, especially since the metal stem is in conflict with the Tiger’s wood element. This conflict tears down the old and makes room for the new, so it will be a transforming year. The Tiger’s strength, courage and fortitude will help to keep us on path.

Health: In terms of potential health infractions, the element of metal deals with the lungs, colon and skin and large intestines. The Wood energy of the Tiger directly impacts the liver, gallbladder and nervous system. In general we can be all be a little more susceptible to conditions in these areas. Taking measures to eat healthy, get plenty of rest and exercise creates a natural line of defense against illness. Depending on how your personal 4 Pillars chart interacts with the year pillar (2010), other areas of your body could be more susceptible.

Professional Industry: 2010 may be a difficult year for those with careers in the wood industries ( writing, paper, wood products, fashion, furniture), as the metal stem of the year cuts into this energy. On the other hand, industries that deal in precious metals, engineering, cars, entertainment and computer industry will bode better.

World Conflict: The conflict between these elements (metal and wood) also indicates a conflict with other countries, political upheaval and military intervention. More than ever political leaders need to remain calm and level-headed.

~The aforementioned description is a generalized energy for the year of 2010. Each person will also have a personal energy interaction with the year and can be specifically analyzed through a 4 Pillars Chart based on Year, Month, Day and Hour born. Assessing the combination of your personal chart to the pillar of 2010 (Yang Metal Tiger) determines specific information for you.

Flying Star Feng Shui or Xuan Kong Fei Xing reflects the energy that impacts our homes and offices every day. The dynamic is based on the fact that the Universe is in a constant state of flux. This can be seen in the seasons and time of day. Understanding the basics of energy waxing and waning is the key factor behind an analysis. Obviously energy that is waxing is vibrant and as a result life seems to flow unimpeded. On the other hand, energy that is waning and decayed can create obstacles and health challenges.

For a proper analysis, a flying star chart must represent the energy of the space that is determined by the year the structure was built and the facing direction (1st, 2nd or 3rd ) mountain of that portent. Then and only then can a proper analysis begin. To evaluate how time impacts this inherent energy the element of the current year and month enter the equation. This is when a qualified consultant can begin the evaluation and inform the client of what to expect for the year and each month.

2009 is a 9 year (for more information see:http://5elementdesigns.com/blog/category/feng-shui-news/) and scroll down to “Time and Space Feng Shui- Annual Forecast.”

December 2009: The month of December begins on 7th and ends on January 5th (meaning cures are placed on the 7th and removed on the 5th of January). The star for December is the 4 Dark Green Star. This star in an 8 period age (2004-2024) is untimely and represents affairs and family break-up.

4 Dark Green Star: Untimely in this current age (8). Falls in the center of the lo shu and can represent affairs and family break-up. Abate with fire. Other stars within the palace (age, mountain & water stars) will dictate exactly what can occur and other potential cures. Note: the annual 9 fire star resides in this gua and provides fire to abate the 4 star.

5 Sha Star: This star falls in the Northwest sector this month. Depending on the Age star and other stars within the central square will determine exactly what you can expect. This star represents illness and overall problems. By in large a metal sound helps to dissipate this sha energy.

6 White Star: Falls to the West this month. This star is usable in an 8 period due to the relationship between the earlier and later ba-gua systems. Inherently, this star has long lasting energy in most of the 9 ages and base point on the loshu granting white star status. Timely can represent authority, wealth & power – impacting the youngest female. This star is receiving assistance from portent. Depending on the age star for this portent & the remaining stars in the gua will determine proper enhancement.
7 Red Destructive Star: This star falls to the Northeast portent for this month and receiving energy from the portent direction. Untimely energy for this current age and can represent robbery, fire, trouble with the law or tragedy. The impact is greatest to the youngest son. If yo have an outside door in this portent make sure the lock works well. Draining this energy is best with virtual water (meaning not actual water) as you do not want to agitate this star. Again, other stars in the portent will determine exactly what is going on and best approach.

8 White Star: This high energy star (current age) falls to the South this month. Its energy is extremely high as it matches the current age. It also is receiving support by the portent. This is the money star for this month representing steady growth of wealth. Place your income materials here for the month and support the energy with fire. Moving water will stimulate money. However, as continually being mentioned, there are other stars within this palace that must be taken into consideration for impact.

9 Purple Star: Auspicious in the current age and found in the North this month. It’s presence indicates success and promotion in your career. Wood feeds this element for the month. Depending on the other stars in the palace will determine exactly what to expect and other potential cures.

1 White Star: Great energy in this current age and white star status. Falling in the Southwest portent makes this a great area for studying this month and gaining wealth. The 1 energy is agreeable to metal and water elements for support and assistance. Again, being mindful of the host star and other star energies can pinpoint the best remedies.

2 Black Star: This sha energy falls to the East this month. In this current age the 2 star represents sickness impacting the eldest son, feet,liver in this gua. Metal is the best cure with a metal sound being highly penetrating. Depending on other stars in the palace will determine the outcome.

3 Green Star: Usable in an 8 period but must be watched for windfalls. This energy falls within in the Southeast and great for starting a new business and potential wealth. Impact is greatest for eldest daughter. Virtual water or wood supports and assists. Watch for windfalls will need fire to abate. Other indicators are the remaining stars within the palace.

Flying Star is a complex system that shouldn’t be taken lightly. This newsletter report only provides the month energy. For a full analysis other information is needed, as your home will have its own separate energy that can interact differently with these monthly stars. It is highly recommended for a competent flying star consultant to assess your energy personally.

9 Star Ki ~2009 ~ December

Your personal energy has 3 types of qi. The first one (natal number) has the greatest impact and comes from the most timely star. This makes ups 60% of your personality. The second type of energy is known as the emotional or childhood number and represents the relationship you have with friends and family (future timely star). The final 20% of your qi comes from your tendency number (past timely star). This is how you are viewed in the outside world.

Calculating Your natal Number: This is based on the solar Calendar (start Feb 4-5). Using theosophical reduction (adding all your birth year numbers together and subtract this number by 11. If the number is greater than 10 reduce to a single digit and then subtract by 11.

Example: 1968 = 1+9+6+8 = 24 (24 is greater than 10) = 2+4 = 6 and 11 – 6 = 5 The natal number is 5.

Your natal number can be any number from 1-9.

The emotional or childhood number and tendency number requires charts to ascertain. So for the purpose of this newsletter we will simply examine the natal number and its impact for the month of December.

Month ~ December (4). December is a 4 month, therefore the number 4 takes the center position in the loshu.

Natal # 1 sits in the Southwest: This month is a slowing down of energy for you. It is important to listen to the advice of others. It is not a good idea to start anything new this month but rather strengthen relationships you have. Be careful when eating out and food poisoning for this month. You may have experienced some type of skin condition this month.

Natal #2 sits in the East.The energy is rising here so this month things seem very bright and promising. You see a great deal of progress in what you are doing. It’s a great time to accomplish your goals. Great for travel and starting new things, but be flexible when doing this.

Natal#3 sits to the Southeast. A good month for achieving success. Whatever you were working on last month should be coming to fruition. Be careful of upper respiratory infections this month. Good relationships will continue to flourish.

Natal #4 sits to the center palace.When your number is positioned here it is best to avoid drastic changes for the month. Take the advice of others this and have patience. Watch your heath this month as you it may fluctuate.

Natal#5 sits in the Northwest.For this month the energy for you is about prosperity. Its a month where you reap the benefits from previous activities. Continue to follow your natural desires and watch your finances grow. Just be careful not to overdo it because you may find yourself exhausted with difficulty sleeping.

Natal#6 sits to the West.Your efforts this month are beneficial and continue to go smoothly. It has been a good month for established patterns, activities and your health, but just take caution with seasonal changes. Take extra care of your teeth this month and watch out with your relationships with the opposite sex. There is a tendency for jealousy.

Natal#7 sits to the Northeast.This month could be a time you change your home, job or way of thinking. You may find new meaning in your life throughout this month. May not be the best month for you financially but if you are careful it will not be too bad. This is the month you gain a new understanding of your health so your diet may change. Mental fatigue is possible so exercise is important.

Natal#8 sits to the South, the house of brightness. This is a good month for you but just be careful of extremes. Great time for relationships with others in what you want to do. Working from a firm foundation is key this month, as you will find new ideas just pour in. Be careful around fire for the month and be aware of your health – cardiovascular and infections.

Natal#9 sits to the North. This is a good month for mental and spiritual development. Keep your expectations moderate as progress is slow. Your health is good just be conscious of your diet. Eating less actually bodes well for you this month. Be careful around water and travel. Your relationship can be difficult this year.
