The Chinese zodiac is a 12-year cycle that links each year to an animal sign. Each year also corresponds to one of the five basic elements, creating a 60-year cycle. The understanding and application of the five elements is an essential aspect of Chinese astrology, cosmology, medicine, philosophy, and feng shui in particular.
The Chinese zodiac also reflects what lies ahead in one’s life, health, money, work, and love. Catch a glimpse of the “Lucky Forecast” by Feng Shui expert Marites Allen below.

(1906, 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014)
Horse-born individuals will reap prosperity. However, it is essential to remain cautious as threats of robbery, losses, or potential injuries loom. If you have been cultivating positive karma, the universe is ready to manifest gains in your path. Let the universal mandala shawl or scarf protect you. Health may bring some concerns.

A fortunate twist of fate is on the horizon. The auspicious beacon of the Future Prosperity Star No. 9 illuminates your path, offering the promise of increased prosperity if you navigate your endeavors judiciously. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that success won’t arrive effortlessly; a few obstacles may dot your journey. With unwavering determination, you will be triumphant.

(1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017)
As the Dragon’s secret friend, Roosters are presented with numerous opportunities, so it’s essential to seize them. Socialization and networking can lead to valuable connections. However, the Rooster has the Misfortune star. This ominous star could bring misunderstandings, health issues, or financial setbacks. Keep a close eye on your spending; there’s a heightened risk of financial losses or scams. Be cautious when entrusting your hard-earned money to others. Take it easy and ensure that the Karma Guardian amulet or the Misfortune Shield cures are close to you and in the West corner of your private space.

Use the mighty Tai Sui amulet and medallion or the triple mantra charm as a shield against obstacles. A rare four-leaf clover or an airplane travel charm is believed to invoke a journey to different places. The image of an Elephant or Ganesha displayed in various areas of your home can also invite smooth success. To attract love, rekindle romance, and foster peace and harmony, wear accessories inspired by Love Knots or a pair of Doves.
Year of the Boar
(1911, 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007)
You possess the ability to navigate through negative twists and turns. Triple mantra charms empower to hurdle challenges. Seek the rare four-leaf clover or an airplane travel charm invoking the spirit of exploration. Give some time and attention to harmonize romance. Wear accessories like Love Knots or a pair of dove birds. Positive changes, particularly in finance, traveling luck, and educational or professional progress are possible. The star of miscommunication and disputes may pose hurdles. Be prepared to handle disagreements with tact and diplomacy. Safeguard the Northwest corner of your home or workplace with peace and reconciliation symbols.
