Earth Pig Annual Forecast: Feng Shui

On Monday, February 4 at 11:16 am, the Year of the Earth Pig will officially arrive bringing new energy into each of the 9 sectors of our homes and offices. Whatever your resolutions and goals are for this year there is a sector, or a combination of sectors, that you can utilize to empower your plans and help you manifest your intentions. The best way to tap into this energy is to physically spend time in the sectors which best suit your goals – preferably by taking the actions necessary to make those dreams a reality.

Please note these sectors are determined by magnetic compass directions and notby their position relative to the main door. To find determine these directions a compass app set to magnetic North on your smart phone will do just fine. Simply take a bird’s eye view of your space and divide it up like a pie labeling each wedge or sector according to it’s compass direction as in the image below.

Positive Attributes: S2 Horse Sector Dragon Virtue Star, Annual Nobleman Star

This is a tricky sector as it hosts the negative 5 yellow this year. Renovations and or disturbances of the ground are to be avoided because they could bring negative outcomes, including illness, especially if there are young children or vulnerable people in the household. However, the 5 Star is not as volatile in the Southwest so utilizing this sector could produce some positive effects and gains as well. For those wishing to have a baby this sector could help make you more productive. It can also bring some financial gains and a boost to assets, especially if other Feng Shui factors like land forms have positive features in the Southwest. Just be conservative with using this sector and seek input from a professional if you are unsure of how to proceed.

This is also a great sector for weight loss as you will be able to develop greater discipline with your diet and work-out goals.

Afflictions: The San Sha or 3 Killings is located in this sector this year, no renovations in this sector this year. If unavoidable then please consult with a professional for a date to perform the work that can mitigate negative effects.

CENTER  – 8 Star: Stability, Prosperity, Travel, Pilgrimage

The central palace is an extremely positive sector this year.
