Expected Aspects of the Year of the Metal Tiger
The Chinese New Year of the TIGER begins on February 14th, 2010.
The Tiger is a symbol of the wood element, and 2010 is a “Metal Year” in Chinese Astrology. The Year of the Tiger, is symbolized by two elements – with metal sitting on top of wood. The cycle of birth and destruction, which governs the inter-relationship between the elements,
(metal is the destroyer of wood) brings a year involving conflict in all types of relationships from governments to personal relationships. So in a Metal Tiger year, there is strong possibility that nuclear safety is a major issue and may even trigger nuclear accidents.
Natural disasters involving fire such as forest fire and volcanic eruptions are also very possible in 2010. The conflict involving wood, fire and metal indicates worsening of air quality and more sickness related to breathing organs. The Yang metal element is often found in high tech business as well as medical industries.
The Tiger has penalty with the Snake and Monkey forming a trio called “Three Fire Penalty” meaning when the 3 wood, fire, and metal animals appear in the same year. Such penalty can cause serious misfortunes related to fire element, such as fire disaster, nuclear energy accidents, eruption of volcanos, even inflammation
of skin and lungs, and intestinal diseases.
The Tiger is also part of 3 animals forming fire penalty, and is an active travelling star. As such, we will see more people travel and this should be beneficial to airline and tourism business. Therefore people born in the year of the Monkey or Snake need to carry the pendant of the Pig to minimize such penalty influence in the year of the Tiger.
Anyone who is born in the year of the monkey will clash with the Metal Tiger. Therefore, people born in such years have to be particularly careful in 2010. As the Tiger and the Monkey will clash with the Metal Tiger this year, the Monkey can experience more accidents involving fire and water and accidents travelling by plane, trains and sea transport.
The Monkey represents the metal element, and the Tiger represents the wood element, thus causing lots of conflict and injury between the Tiger and Monkey and the Metal Tiger in this metal year. Both Tiger and Monkey are travelling stars, so the clash will often bring serious traffic accidents especially car crashes.
I would recommend that anyone born in the year of Monkey, wear or carry a pendant of a pig, which will help to minimize the negative influences of the year of the Metal Tiger.
People who are born in the year of Monkey will experience a more turbulent year while travelling, sudden changes in career, or moving residence.
The Monkey should avoid travelling to places to the North east direction of where they live and it is also not recommended for you to travel by car.
It is suitable to engage in such movements, such as moving house or moving offices, it is also good to minimize activities involving skiing, car racing, etc.
The other animal sign facing unfavourable influences in the year of the Metal Tiger is anyone born in the year of the Snake. This will take the form of Self-Penalty. Such self-penalties will usually bring irritation and frustrations, and unforeseen illness and health problems for the people born in the year of the Snake. I would recommend that anyone born in the year of Snake wear or carry a pendant of a pig, which will help to minimize the negative influences of the clashing between the Snake and the Metal Tiger.
The animals compatible with the Tiger are the Pig, the Horse, and the Dog. These animals are into a year of harmony. For people born in the year of the Rabbit, the Tiger year will bring “romance and fertility” so one can anticipate a more sociable year with more opportunity to develop friendship with the opposite sex... People born in the year of the Monkey, Rat and Dragon will trigger more travelling and movement.
The Feng Shui energies change from year to year.
With this Chinese New Year, starting on the 4th February 2010, it will be necessary to acknowledge the shift of good and bad energies to different parts of your home or office, so that you can take necessary precautions if some bad energy happens to arrive at important locations of our home or office.
Found in the Children’s sector (West Direction) of your home.
The white star 1 represents water, being featured in the northwest section, can create restrictions and conflict. Placing your lotto tickets in the west this year will increase your chances of winning. Check outside your home facing the west direction for any poison arrows, which can be corners or roofs, power lines, untidy yards etc pointing towards your home, hang a bagwa mirror in this area mirroring the offending object. Hang a set of 9 I Ching coins to activate
relationships and romance. Number nine represents wealth and good luck, fame and success. Having a bedroom located in the west this year, I recommend hanging a brass gourd above the bed. Avoid decorating the west direction with fire element colours like red, pink, purple, orange, lilac. It is important not to burn candles in this sector. Placing a water feature in the west in 2010 will help to improve prosperity.
Found in the Knowledge sector (North-east
Direction)
This star represents health issues that can adversely influence wealth.
Possible problems may include sickness, disease, bad luck, stress, stomach and digestive problems, bloated feeling, gossip, back stabbing, family harmony and distress. Avoid doing any sort of renovations in this sector during 2010 as this area needs to be quiet. Cures for this sector include a salt water cure, brass gourd and six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon, gold money frog with an
I-ching coin underneath, using round metal decorative ornaments to remove negative connotations in the northeast corner of your home or room that this year represents. Avoid placing any triangular or sharp shapes in this area. Remove any red items from this sector. When these colours already exist use colours like white, silver, gold or copper in the way of a floor mat, cushions, couch throws, tablecloths. When the front door faces northeast in 2010 you would be advised to hang a Bagwa mirror outside to deflect the negative energy. Keep doors closed.
Features in the Fame & Reputation Sector (South Direction).
This flying star, represents conflict, arguments, robbery, lawsuits and financial loss. Having the main entrance facing the south this year means increased negative energy of conflict, arguments, robbery, lawsuits and financial loss. Using red decorative ornaments, candles, lamps and lights in this sector, will act as the cure for the negative energy. Do not use metal or metal colour ornaments in the sector. It is not recommended having a water feature in this sector. Thoroughly check all documents being signed during the year to avoid financial or personal losses. Placing the Buddha which sits on a bed of Chinese
I-ching coins and a small piece of Jasper Red quartz will protect your wealth
from legal problems and back stabbing.
Jasper Red quartz protects against physical and physic attack. If the front door faces the south, the occupants should avoid any dangerous sports
because accidents that cause broken bones are likely.
Place a light in the south if you have a choice, a lamp with a wooden stand and a peach/red shade is better. Remove all wind chimes of any material in the south sector this year. It is necessary to put a piece of red paper in the South to minimize such bad influence
Can be found in the Career Sector ( North ) in the year of the Metal TIGER.
The number 4 flying star governs romance, career, travel, creative, academic and artistic talents, wisdom and intelligence, as well as self-development. Having the 4 star in the north this year indicates both wanted and unwanted romantic opportunities for anyone living in this house. Placing this year’s cures in the north
can bring new prosperity and travel. It’s not wise to place any fire or metal element colours or ornaments in this sector, or white or silver. Use blue in your décor to de-activate any negative energy flowing into this sector throughout this year. Avoid displaying metal objects here especially large heavy ornaments. Placing mandarin Ducks, Dragon headed Tortoise or statues of lovers in this sector to enhance the romance promised in this year. When the front door faces the north, I recommend hanging a Bagwa mirror with a
I-ching coin on the back to increase the prosperity of this year. For the home office in this sector, place a task light and a crystal globe on the desk. Using Blue stationary will enhance this sector.
Found in the Relationship Sector (South-West).
This brings the bad energy called “Five Yellow” – symbolizing obstacles and misfortune, indicating the Southwest to be a bad luck sector this year, bringing
the possibility of theft, arguments, loss of wealth, and legal problems especially if the front door or any important room faces the southwest. I strongly recommend placing a salt water cure, six rod metal wind chime, a gold coloured Pi Yao, brass gourd and six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon. The Pi Yao is to face the north east and also place more metal decorative objects is to place in the southwest facing towards the northeast. This cure is one of the most protective cures you can use and also a powerful enhancer but also for protection. Remove all cures from previous years. Placing metal ornaments such as a stainless steel dog bowl Do not activate the southwest with loud noises, keep area quiet and avoid at all costs doing any renovations. Do not use the fire element colours of red, pink or purple. Keep doors closed.
The traditional Chinese method is to place a Pi Yao or dragon headed tortoise in the southwest sector of your home or office facing northeast to appease The grand Duke.
The worst months will be in May and August.
In the Health Sector (East).
The White Star six energy represents prosperity, and
good health. This star also represents travel. To enhance the wealth, career promotions and good health of this year, you will need to place some real quartz crystal or objects that are made from an earth material like ceramic. The most important cure to
put in the centre of your home or business would be a square piece of slate measuring between 101 - 106mm in size, along with one Chinese coin in the centre with eight pieces of quartz crystals, Placing these cures will enhance the careers of politicians, business leaders and anyone involved in the jewellery business.
A main entrance or office/study situated in the east sector will prosper.
If the master bedroom is in this sector, place some blue, black, grey or charcoal cloth such as a rug or duvet covers to de-activate any negative energy. You need to beware of throat infections and leg problems.
In the Prosperity Sector (South-East).
The star 7 represents scandal and gossip.
You need to beware of scandal and gossip involving family or people sharing the house,
also of burglary, deception, copyright theft, gossip and back stabbing especially in the months of May and September. This sector will not be good for writers, artist or children studying and especially for female occupants of the house. Update security, smoke alarms in this sector. The Buddha of wealth, business, career, love and overall protection needs to be placed in this sector along with a bagwa mirror with a coin on the back to be hung outside this sector. Keep the southeast sector quiet,
with doors and windows kept locked when going out. Good colours to enhance this sector are blue or black. Avoid earth and fire element colours and quartz crystals. When the front door or office faces the southeast be careful of people trying to deceive you, robbery, arguments and loss of wealth, read fine print very carefully. Do not burn candles or hang metal wind chimes in this sector. Place 3 piece of bamboo plant grown in clear glass vase of water in the Southeast location
Found in the Earth Sector (Centre);
Star Eight represents prosperity. Therefore, If your front door or bedroom is located here, you may find positive improvement with your wealth, health and relationships you can also place an amethyst or any crystal items in the centre. Having the home office in this sector can promote Wealth, reputation and Romance.
When activated correctly, it brings good fortune and exciting times even with the conflict of elements. Placing a pair of Mandarin Ducks in the centre of your home or office enhances these positive attributes of romance and
having your red money frog facing into the house and not towards the door and the coin is never taken out of his mouth. Do not place heavy metal in the centre of your home or office this year, as it will weaken the good earth. Hang a faceted crystal sphere in the centre of the house. Hang it above head height and twist now and again. Keep the area outside and inside the centre, west, north and east clear
of clutter.
In the Travel & Helpful People Sector (Northwest ) of your home;
the purple star nine represents future prosperity, marriage, descendants, promotion and happiness, and brings luck. To enhance this luck
have Healthy green leafy plants or blue flowering plants such as violets are good for this sector. Encourage children to study in this sector to bring good exam results. Couples with a bedroom in this location can also enjoy good relationships If you want to enhance this further place a statue of Quan
Yin in the northwest part of your bedroom. Placing nine Gold ingots will
enhance wealth in 2010. Hang a set of six
I-ching coins on the wall in this sector to weaken negative influences. Having a vase of Fresh flowers
here will create positive chi energy.
I would not advise anyone to sit with their back to the North while working in their office. Your back will absorb the bad energies of conflict and robbery. it is better to face (north) this direction It is necessary to put a piece of red paper in the North-east sector of your office to minimize such a bad influence. If your front door faces the southwest in 2010, place a pair of Fu Dogs (not metal ones) just inside the house looking outwards as protective guardians for the year. You must also place a golden coloured Pi Yao in the southwest looking towards the northeast If your front door faces the Northeast in 2010, or if your main entrance is in the Northeast, be careful not to allow the doors to slam and do not renovate in this sector. Place a six-rod metal wind chime between your house and renovating work whilst the work is being done. If your front door faces the South in 2010, or if your main entrance is in the south in 2010, try to use another door to enter and leave. hang a Bagwa mirror with a Chinese I-ching coin on the rear for added protection in 2010. If your front door faces the North in 2010, or if your main entrance is in the North it is very important to keep it is clean and clutter free as possible.

and enjoys reading, music and the spiritual side of life.
In the Year of the Metal Tiger; This year it is important to keep your innate
stubbornness in check; learn to control it and you will find many successes
coming to you. The Snake likes slow and steady progress, but this year the Snake
has to adapt and keep up the pace, because there is quite a bit of competition
and will need to stay ahead of the competition to gain any promotions or career
successes. The Snake should seek advice from those who can help, and not try to
appear too independent. Working with colleagues and not alone will pay off
handsomely during the year. Poor people skills and not listening can create
arguments within personal relationships, and with family members or business
colleagues. Controlling your temper and emotion when things go wrong is very
important. Otherwise, it will be very easy to lose friendships, love, business
colleagues or career opportunities. February through April will favour work
endeavours and promotion.

Spending time with loved ones, in a relaxed atmosphere, will rejuvenate the
Snake’s spirit during a busy and intense year. July through December will offer
romance for single Snakes, who will need to practice patience in their search
for a companion. Married Snakes have to beware of quarrels with their partner.
Controlling your emotions may avoid the love relationship turning sour. With
marriage problems, the Snake people should seek advice from mentors to help.
Snake people need to attend to their health, because energy levels could be
exhausted by long hours at work and conflicts with family and friends. It is
recommended to incorporate relaxing exercises such as walking, yoga or
meditation, into your daily routine. Taking time out for yourself is very
important to help deal with stress. When seeking help and guidance on love,
financial or business relationship, Snake people need find a female mentor or an
older female. However, do not ask Tiger people to help you on social, love,
financial or business relationship.
Travel looks most likely during March and June and through August.
