I know there will be many Rabbits out there who will be glad 2005 is close to ending. 2006 year of fire Dog is nearly upon us and as always every year we put our heads on the block making Chinese animal predications for the year ahead. This form of Chinese astrology is not like western astrology. The whole idea of it is to be informed of what may come. The information will also assist you to be prepared and to make informed decisions that may affect your wellbeing and endeavours. It is important that you know when and how to avoid the bad influences during the year.

Last year as always our predictions were spot on and I personally had one of my best years ever, not just financially but in every aspect of my life, Jo and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, I travelled the world many times over working and pleasure and made acquisitions that I could only have dreamt off a few years ago. 2006 will be a different story for the Dog and I am really looking forward to the challenge, as without indifferences in our life we cannot appreciate the good. Because 2006 is not as good for us Dogs I will follow the advice here and the flying star advice with a fine toothcomb each month and be more cautious and my year will be even better than 2005.

Please do not think that because you are a person born in the year of a Dragon and as you read below showing that 2006 will not be a good year for you and all misfortunes will befall on you. Adopt a positive attitude and follow the advice given below and in the 2006 Flying Star (Xuan Kong) recommendations, you will be able avoid any bad luck that is forecasted. Knowing how to avoid negative Flying Stars can help alter your year's luck in a good way. I know you will come across websites or other Practitioners who will predict all sorts of doom and gloom for a certain animal in any year, please take this with a pinch of salt.

Start preparing and placing your annual cures and enhancers, to ensure a trouble free year and of course make sure you sign up for our free monthly newsletter so you are kept up to date with the monthly flying stars giving you even more control. Or you can use our professional Feng Shui software giving you even more control on an annual and monthly basis.

Those born in the year of the Dragon may be affected by the conflicting influences of the year of the Fire Dog Bing Xu. In saying this, we hope that those born in the year of the Dragon are aware of potential difficulties they may encounter during the year and take extra care in whatever they do without taking undue risks. The degree of influence varies from one person to another. One of the major considerations is the heavenly stem of the year in which one was born.

To find your animal sign, check the charts below. If you were born before February 4th (Spring Begins), use the year before. If it is after February 4th, then use the same birth year. This is worth double-checking; as you would be amazed how many people born in January or February get it wrong. If you are unsure of your Chinese Animal maybe consider using our Feng Shui software that calculates it automatically along with personal Gua, flying stars, annual, fixed and monthly and so much more.

Some examples:

• Born 3rd February 1958 = Rooster
  
  
• Born 5th February 1958 = Dog
  
  
• Born 3rd February 1987 = Tiger
  
  
• Born 5th February 1987 = Rabbit

2006 is the 4703rd year of the Chinese calendar.

As with last year and due to the time difference in the time zone between China and UK, USA Europe etc, the start of spring for Asia and Europe differs by a day this year. In China, the solar calendar of the Bing Xu (fire Dog) year starts on 4th February 2006 at 07:27. In the UK, the new solar year starts on 3rd February 2006 at 23.27. In California USA it would start 3rd February 2006 at 15.27 and if you live in Barcelona you would place your cures at 00.27 on February 4th 2006.

So to confirm if you live in the UK you would put your cures and enhancers in place on 3rd February 2006 at 23.27 and in California (USA) you would place your cures on 3rd February 2006 at 15.27. The times were correct at time of writing 30 November 2005 but it is worth checking with http://www.worldtimeserver.com

from something that isn't after them"

Some of the advice below may suggest you to face or sleep in a certain direction dependant on your Gua number, if you are unsure of your Gua number please click on this link to find yours.

Rat

A mixed year for the Rat, although play your cards right and follow all the advice here along with the annual stars, the year 2006 should be good for wealth, career and general luck. Those Rats born in 1960 and 1972 need to be careful in relationships especially if they are married, spend more time this year with your partner as your potential success for the year can cause you to overlook people that are important and this will cause you problems. Unmarried Rats born in other years can expect new relationships and even rekindle existing ones. Your year will be busy but leave some time for play and make sure you take plenty of rest.

Your busy lifestyle can cause you stomach problems this year so please be careful, I would place a brass Wu Lou beside your bed especially if it is located in the west or southeast. You should be careful signing contracts this year so make sure you read all the small print and do not let yourself be conned by someone sweet or fast talking.

With regards to wealth, business and career, 2006 can be a year of seeds you planted over the last few years which will now blossom, so please make the most of this year as the wind is behind you; this is particularly true for Rats born in 1984. Do not think though that all this means you can just sit back and let the good times happen, hard work is still needed by you. Young Rats born in 1996 will do well this year but they should ideally carry an image of an Ox for protection, as should all Rats in 2006.

Cautions for 2006: All Rats should avoid high-risk sports in 2006 especially those involving water, like speed boating, surfing or such like, take up a nice safe sport like tiddlywinks. Be careful of stomach problems, usually resulting from a busy lifestyle and bad diet or fast eating. Romance should be good but those who are married invest some time in your partner this year as he/she may wander. Enhance the northwest (romance) sector of your home with some still clean water or indoor bamboo; follow the 2006 annual star link for further details.

Cautions for month: Take extra care in the months of March, June and October and make sure you check back with us monthly to get your updates for the month.

Your lucky sector: (astrological zone) is the North (352.5º - 7.5º) of the home or office. Use yellows or browns in your decoration if you have a bedroom here. This is a good sector in 2006 influenced by an auspicious annual flying star #8. For full details on 2006 flying star analysis follow this link.

Although the north is your astrological zone, this may not be the best direction for you to face when seated at work or doing anything important. If you are relocating your desk this year to face one of your favourable personal directions, please be aware of the directions and locations of the annual afflictions in particular northwest, southeast and west for 2006. If you are unsure of your Gua and best directions follow this link or maybe consider using our Feng Shui software that calculates Gua, Chinese animal including element, flying stars, annual, fixed and monthly and so much more.

If you have a bedroom, office, lounge or other important room located in the west, southeast or south I would place some metal ornaments beside your bed, a traditional Chinese cure is a brass Wu Lou.

You are in affinity with the Ox. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of an Ox with you at all times throughout the year.

North is the location and direction of the Three Killings

When at work, you may sit facing this north direction if this is one of your personal good directions but do not sit with your back to it (north) or you may find unscrupulous people working against you or you may encounter undue gossip and back stabbing during the year. A little know cure and one that can only be used in certain years is by placing 3 pieces of amethyst crystal in the north, they only need to be small ones but need to be placed ideally in the centre of north, these come in our 2006 cures kit with full instructions for placement. The only other years these can be used are Horse and Tiger years. The nice part of this annual cure is that the crystal will also enhance the #8 wealth star.

Northwest is where Tai Sui (Grand Duke of Jupiter) resides

With Tai Sui, you may rely on him for support in that you may sit with him in the northwest and face the southeast. Do not confront him by undertaking any renovation or construction works in the northwest or by sitting in a position that is directly opposite him (southeast). In 2006, this means do not sit with your back to the southeast facing northwest even if this is your best direction. Most traditional Chinese families would place a Pi Yao Dragon or a dragon headed Tortoise in the southeast of the home facing northwest or if your main door is in the northwest, place it just inside the door facing northwest.

To soften the effects of the year you should hang six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon and place it in the southeast and west of home this year to control the #2 & #5 stars, you should also place a six rod metal wind chime in the west of your home this year to weaken the #5. For full details on 2006 flying star analysis follow this link. This is very important especially if you have a main door, bedroom, office, lounge or other important room in the southeast or west.

Ox

A stable year offering good relationships and wealth although the Ox will need to take care of their health this year especially those who like a tipple, smoke or do not have a good diet. Please take a look at your health especially if you are a metal Ox as they can suffer most this year, the stomach and chest are weak in 2006. If you have a bedroom in the southeast or west and you are a metal Ox place a Wu Lou beside your bed or some metal ornaments.

Money can be very good for Ox this year although you need to take care not to spend too much. If you are employed, job promotions could be on the cards but you will still need to prove yourself. For the Ox born in 1961 & 1973 be careful of relationships as a busy year can make you neglect relationships and your partner may wander.

Cautions for 2006: Metal Ox needs to take care of health this year; fire Ox should avoid lending money even to best friends or family. All Ox's should be careful of theft either by deception or just someone breaking into your home, do not concern yourself about this just prepare and make sure security is up to scratch at home and office. Avoid gambling either on cards or stock market and if you are offered a deal that is just too good to be true, it probably is.

Cautions for month: Take extra care in the months of March, May & September and make sure you check back with us monthly to get your updates for the month.

Your lucky sector: (astrological zone) is the Northeast (22.5º - 37.5º) of the home or office. Place some small quartz crystals in the northeast sector of your bedroom or office. The placing of these earth items will also enhance the auspicious #6 metal star of the northeast influenced by the annual flying stars. For full details on 2006 flying star analysis follow this link.

You are in affinity with the Rat. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a Rat with you at all times throughout the year.

Although the northeast is your astrological zone, this may not be the best direction for you to face when seated at work or doing anything important. If you are relocating your desk this year to face one of your favourable personal directions, please be aware of the directions and locations of the annual afflictions in particular northwest, southeast and west for 2006. If you are unsure of your Gua and best directions follow this link or maybe consider using our Feng Shui software that calculates Gua, Chinese animal including element, flying stars, annual, fixed and monthly and so much more.

If you have a bedroom, office, lounge or other important room located in the west, southeast or south I would place some metal ornaments beside your bed, a traditional Chinese cure is a brass Wu Lou.

Tiger

Tigers have a much better year to look forward to in 2006. There are a few potential problems but if you follow the advice careful you can avoid most if not all of them. For those who work for others you should expect rewards with a promotion, this of course is providing you have worked well and deserve it, it does not automatically come to you by doing nothing.

You need to be very careful with legal problems involving courts and possibly to do with contracts so please be extremely careful signing contracts. Karma can also be on catch up time as the seeds you planted over the last few years good or bad can come back to haunt or reward you, this is particularly so if it involves plagiarism and this will involve the courts. For protection this year you should make sure the centre of your home or office is cured for the argument star #3 as this also causes legal problems and arguments. Follow this link for more details on the 2006 annual cures.

A good year for the Tiger born in 1974 & 1986 especially for wealth and career. Those born in 1950 & 1982 can expect some nice changes. All Tigers should avoid going into partnership with someone born in the year of Horse, this does not mean that this person is not good, it just means that this year the relationship between you will not work.

Cautions for 2006: Be careful of gossip/slander and people who are jealous of you, they may try and make you look bad. Young Tigers born in 1998 should do well this year. In October you should be careful of accidents with knives.

Cautions for month: Take extra care in the months of April, May, September, October and December and make sure you check back with us monthly to get your updates for the month.

Your lucky sector: (astrological zone) is the Northeast (52.5º - 67.5º) of the home or office. Place some small quartz crystals in the northeast sector of your room. The placing of these earth items will also enhance the auspicious #6 metal star of the northeast influenced by the annual flying stars. For full details on 2006 flying star analysis follow this link.

Although the northeast is your astrological zone, this may not be the best direction for you to face when seated at work or doing anything important.

Hare/Rabbit

Rabbit will be glad 2005 has ended and 2006 is something to really look forward to. It is still a year of mixed fortunes although on the whole it will be very good especially if you compare it to last year. Married Rabbits especially those born in 1951 & 1963 need to be careful and resist temptation (the grass is not always greener) of the opposite sex, single Rabbit should not take risks in relationships this year and let your confidence shine through as "peach blossom" for romance is very strong this year. Look at the 2006-flying star in the northwest as this can enhance romance even further.

For the Rabbit in business and career this year will be much better than last although you should not boast too much with colleagues or competitors as there are a few people out there that may want to back stab you and tell many lies to make you look bad, make sure you wear your protection animal for the year and more importantly remember my advice as being prepared is good. In business you may also be offered a partnership and you should look at this as being positive although spend time looking over any small print on contract.

Cautions for 2006: Earth Rabbits born 1939 should be careful of health, although they will only be minor issues to do with digestion so take care of what you eat. Metal Rabbits born 1951 should also take care of health, be careful of accidents to do with the throat. Water rabbit born 1963 will have strong peach blossom that can be good and bad. Married Rabbit may be tempted to stray from more than usual offers of romance; on the other hand peach blossom also affects relationships in career so expect some offers in business and even a change in career. All Rabbits should be careful of road accidents so please drive with more care than you usually would.

Cautions for month: Take extra care in the months of March, July, November and December and make sure you check back with us monthly to get your updates for the month.

Your lucky sector: (astrological zone) is the East (82.5º - 97.5º) of the home or office. Place some metal objects in the east sector of your room. The placing of these metal items will also enhance the auspicious #1 metal star of the east influenced by the annual flying stars. For full details on 2006 flying star analysis follow this link.

Although the east is your astrological zone, this may not be the best direction for you to face when seated at work or doing anything important. If you are relocating your desk this year to face one of your favourable personal directions, please be aware of the directions and locations of the annual afflictions in particular northwest, southeast and west for 2006. If you are unsure of your Gua and best directions follow this link or maybe consider using our Feng Shui software that calculates Gua, Chinese animal including element, flying stars, annual, fixed and monthly and so much more.

Dragon      

With a Dog year the Dragon will clash so you will need to take extra care this year but remember being prepared will give you the edge to make sure the year is good for you. Overall the year will bring change and this can be good for career and also business as it can steer you in a different direction that will be better for you.

You need to be careful with wealth this year and be aware that you should not take risks and in no way gamble, although wood Dragons (born 1964) can expect better wealth this year. The secret for all Dragons this year is money will come in but you have to make sure you keep hold of it. For females it can be an emotional year and possibilities of sadness may creep over stronger than usual, you should keep some hematite beads close to you to help overcome this.

You are in affinity with the Rooster. For enhancement keep a key chain pendant of a Rooster on you.

Cautions for 2006: All Dragons need to be careful of wealth this year, do not worry about this as you will have money coming in, you just need to concentrate on retaining it, so no gambling or taking risks. Metal Dragons born 1940 need to be watchful of blood problems and if you drink more than you should now is a good time to slow down. Fire Dragons born 1976 can expect new relationships in romance or career. Young Dragons born 1988 may have a difficult year, they will probably have this inbred know it all attitude. But this year they will need careful guidance as they can go off the rails, if you do not think your words or guidance will help, try and recruit a relation or family friend to have words with them. Remember 2006 will be a year of changes for the Dragon but if you follow the advice the year should be good and the changes can work in your favour.

Cautions for month: Take extra care in the months of February, May, June and October and make sure you check back with us monthly to get your updates for the month.

Snake

The Snake is in for a great year with very little to say on the negative side, which is nice. Career and those in business for themselves will climb to new heights providing you apply yourself. There will be some fantastic opportunities in 2006, you need to be careful of signing contracts though, as all of us do this year as with the #3 star visiting the central palace this causes many arguments and legal problems so please make sure you follow the flying star advice as well.

Single Snakes can expect fireworks this year especially those born in 1977 (even expect wedding plans), if you are a married or committed Snake you should be careful not to neglect your partner as with a successful year this can easily happen and they can wander. Although the year will be good you can expect some jealousy from colleagues and they may try and back stab you by making you look bad by telling lies, just be careful of who you thought were friends.

You are in affinity with the Monkey. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a Monkey.

Cautions for 2006: Snakes born in 1929 will see excellent returns on their investments this year. Water Snakes born 1953 will have a very good year but you need to rest and take some light exercise like Tai Chi, as you will get more stressed this year and need to watch blood pressure. Wear some hematite crystal close to you and have a wu lou beside your bed for health protection. Snakes born in 1965 should be careful of accidents involving broken bones so please take care with high-risk sports. All other Snakes can enjoy a good year.

I know most Horse's will be glad 2005 is coming to an end and will be glad to know that 2006 year Bing Xu is a much better year. It will be a year of learning new skills; investment opportunities and career change with some negative side to the year although if you follow my advice you will have a great year.

The rewards for the year can be very good if you are prepared to work hard and able to accept some changes, the changes will be good for you although it may not seem it at the time. This year can also be a year of learning and this is why changes are frequent as it could be learning a new job, ideas that you have had in last year whether for a new business, career or new hobby, this is the year you should put them in place.

This will be a busy year and whilst all should go well with career and finance you can overlook partners needs, so make sure you make time for loved ones whether it is your wife, boyfriend, Mother, Sister or best friend. The single Horse will find a few offers but you will need to choose carefully as it is hard to tell a book by its cover. A good year for finances and investments but make sure you read the small print as the annual stars suggest legal issues and back stabbing so be careful. Make sure you leave time for yourself and try to relax more as stress can be an issue and you may feel down at times, whatever is on your on your mind right now it WILL pass.

Cautions for 2006: Horse born in 1930 (metal) should avoid investing new money this year and make sure you make time for rest and play. Those born in 1942 (water Horse) should take care of health especially with chest; make sure you wrap up well. Horses born in 1954 will have a lovely year with good wealth and relationships; make sure you spend time spoiling your partner though. Fire Horse born 1966 will have good wealth but watch out for potential liver or blood related problems; this only becomes a problem if you are a heavy drinker. Earth Horse born 1978 can expect better romance this year, make sure you enhance the northwest of your home. Young Horses will do OK this year.

Cautions for month: Take extra care in the June, August, October and December and make sure you check back with us monthly to get your updates for the month.

Your lucky sector: (astrological zone) is the South (172.5º - 187.5º) of the home or office. For full details on 2006 flying star analysis follow this link.

Although the south is your astrological zone, this may not be the best direction for you to face when seated at work or doing anything important. To find your personal favourable or unfavourable directions, you have to look at your personal Gua number based on the year you were born. For full details on 2006 flying star analysis follow this link. The south is afflicted with the #7 robbery star and you should place a earth Pagoda in the south this year for protection.

You are in affinity with the Sheep/Goat. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of a Goat.

If you have a bedroom, office, lounge or other important room located in the west, southeast or south I would place some metal ornaments beside your bed, a traditional Chinese cure is a brass Wu Lou.

When at work, you may sit facing this north direction if this is one of your personal good directions but do not sit with your back to it (north) or you may find unscrupulous people working against you or you may encounter undue gossip and back stabbing during the year. A little know cure and one that can only be used in certain years is by placing 3 pieces of amethyst crystal in the north, they only need to be small ones but need to be placed ideally in the centre of north, these come in our 2006 cures kit with full instructions for placement. The only other years these can be used are Horse and Tiger years. The nice part of this annual cure is that the crystal will also enhance the #8 wealth star.

Northwest is where Tai Sui (Grand Duke of Jupiter) resides

With Tai Sui, you may rely on him for support in that you may sit with him in the northwest and face the southeast. Do not confront him by undertaking any renovation or construction works in the northwest or by sitting in a position that is directly opposite him (southeast). In 2006, this means do not sit with your back to the southeast facing northwest even if this is your best direction. Most traditional Chinese families would place a Pi Yao Dragon or a dragon headed Tortoise in the southeast of the home facing northwest or if your main door is in the northwest, place it just inside the door facing northwest.

To soften the effects of the year you should hang six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon and place it in the southeast and west of home this year to control the #2 & #5 stars, you should also place a six rod metal wind chime in the west of your home this year to weaken the #5.

Goat/Ram/Sheep

You will need to be careful this year but with planning and following this advice along with monthly updates the year should be good although better for the female than male. You will need your wits about you and all your senses including a bit of sixth sense as there may be people whom you know (sometimes a very good friend or even a family member) who will try and make you look bad by spreading rumours and lies,. This can cause problems in business, relationships or career, just be aware of the problem and make sure you cure the centre of your home or office with the annual advice. Creating good Feng Shui is about being aware of potential problems and reacting accordingly.

Because someone close to you can cause the gossip problems you could see problems with family break-ups and arguments, try and be diplomatic and avoid confrontation. In business and career you should concentrate on what you have already, as it is not a good idea to start new projects or jobs. There will always be exceptions to this and if you do move job or start a new business do not worry.

Monkey     

A mixed year for the Monkey in a Dog year, on first glance many will predict a bad year but if you look deep the year can be good for the Monkey and even exceptional if you are aware of potential problems as you can avoid them and this lets you move on. The later half of the year will be better regardless. Older Monkeys born 1932 & 1944 need to take more care and look after health, in particular joints. 2006 is a good year to travel or look abroad for new work or business opportunities, if you are self employed look abroad for new business partners. For a fire Monkey born 1956 this is an important year for finance and please be careful and I would advise not to lend money this year or take any risks.

This is a good year to learn new skills or hobby and perfect for study and taking exams. Health problems will normally relate to the heart, eyes and joints, you should try and avoid places that have yin energy like hospitals or cemeteries. This year you must not let yourself stagnate, look at new opportunities, work hard without affecting health and if you are in a position try and spend time travelling this year in business or pleasure.

Cautions for 2006: Keep yourself going this year and do not let any moss gather, older Monkeys born 1932 & 1844 need to watch health and accidents with joints. All Monkeys should be careful driving this year or accidents involving metal. Those born 1956 (fire Monkey) should avoid lending money and watch their health. Earth Monkeys born 1968 expect a better year although careful with relationships. Metal Monkeys born 1980 should have a good year but avoid making changes in job or relationships. This will make you laugh but little Monkeys (even the name is fitting) can be expected to be more moody and stressed than normal, if you are reading this and you have or have had a 15 year child you know what I will mean.

Cautions for month: Take extra care in the months of March, June, August and October and make sure you check back with us monthly to get your updates for the month.

Rooster    

In a Dog year you will find most Practitioners will predict a bad year for the Rooster, in my opinion the year will be good although the male Rooster will have a slightly better time. You will find you have many friends and helpful people looking after you and if you do run into any bother during 2006 you will get through it without many problems.

Relationships should be good for single and committed Roosters and this is not just for romance it also relates to career and business. Increase this by making sure you enhance the northwest of your home or bedroom. Health issues will be minor although older Rooster should be aware of potential blood problems. Females born in 1969 will have a good year but be careful of stomach problems. Whatever you have read on other websites just expect a good year with the right attitude you will breeze through 2006.

Cautions for 2006: All Roosters should avoid high risks sports like climbing/mountaineering this year as accidents involving heights is on the cards. Take care in May especially getting involved in other people's arguments or problems. Roosters born in 1957 must try and rest and relax this year and a good time to learn new methods like Tai Chi or Yoga etc. Wood Roosters born 1969 can expect a good year but look after diet and stomach problems.

Dog              

I always love it when I get to the Dog as this is my Chinese animal and sometimes the advice I give I do not follow myself as you can forget and become complacent (pot calling the kettle black springs to mind). I will not be so laid back this year as I was with last year.

The year for the Dog will be exciting and whilst when you first look at the charts it looks awful it can be very good, although a little up and down so expect the unexpected. You should be careful of rivals/competitors this year and remain humble without bragging of how great you are, as it will cost you dearly. You will need to be careful with money as it can arrive and depart very quickly, so some careful money management is needed (glad I bought my new Jaguar in 2005, oops was that bragging? Its OK we are still in 2005 at time of writing). 2006 is a perfect time to gather your thoughts and take stock of what you have and your life. This year is ideal for those who are or want to be creative and if you are in a position you should really try and travel this year as not only will the change be good for you, financially you could benefit too, you will need the rest as 2006 can bring high emotions and maybe feeling a little down, so take plenty of breaks.

Do not take risks this year in any sector of your life, so no gambling, playing stock and shares or even high-risk sports. Take it easy but stay alert as you will need your wits about you, this will be a year of "discovering yourself", seriously, this may sound a bit of a cliché especially for us earth Dogs born 1958 (mid life crisis stage of life) but you will find you discover things about you never realised were there, you will know what I am talking about towards the middle of 2006. Try and look at some new forms of relaxation like painting, writing, Tai Chi, Yoga or start playing golf. Take up every opportunity of travel, as the rewards will be high whether personally or financially.

Cautions for 2006: All Dogs should try not to get involved in other peoples problems or arguments it will only cause you problems. Older Dogs born 1934 & 46 should be careful of health and take no risks in wealth and physical activities. Those young Dogs (me) born 1958 will have the best year of their life, OK so this is a slight exaggeration but the year will be good if not interesting as long as you take time out and follow your dreams, I have mine planned out already month by month. Those born 1970 and 1982 can expect a trouble free year and the very young Puppy born 1994 will also do well.

Cautions for month: Take extra care in the months of February, April, September and September and make sure you check back with us monthly to get your updates for the month.

Your lucky sector: (astrological zone) is the Northwest (292.5º - 307.5º) of the home or office. This is the location of the annual 4 a nice relations star. For full details on 2006 flying star analysis follow this link.
