Note: when determining your Chinese Animal Sign from your year of birth, the year begins on 4/5 February according to the solar calendar which is used for Chinese 4 Pillars Astrology & Feng Shui purposes. The lunar calendar (which begins this year on 16 February 2018) is used mainly for traditional New Year celebrations and festivals linked to the cycles of the moon. Also, when determining the compass sectors of your home, each compass sector begins from the gravitational centre of your home and extends out to the boundary lines of your property, like 8 giant pieces of pie. If using a compass app on your phone, make sure it is calibrated to Magnetic North and NOT Map/True North. Otherwise, use a real compass which will automatically show you the location of Magnetic North.
Dog (Xu) 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018
In 2018 the annual 1 White Tan Lang and Tai Sui energies converge in the Dog zone in the Northwest sector. If you avoid renovation and excavation within a third of the Northwest sector (closest to where NW meets West), then you are more likely to tap into supportive intelligence, learning and wisdom energy this year. It’s important for you to connect with this energy in 2018 because the key to getting ahead is via intelligent negotiation, diplomacy and a generally conservative and conciliatory outlook.
Do not gamble or invest in high-risk investments because there will be a higher probability of loss of finances if you seek a quick fix approach to money – esp around April, June, August and December. Instead, you should seek to consolidate what you have, pay down debt and build on your savings, while adhering to a sustainable budget and long-term savings plan.
Peach Blossom/Romance energy occurs for Dog individuals from 5 March until 4 April, so make an effort to spend quality time with loved ones and get out and be social during this time frame if you are looking to connect with new friends and/or a potential new partner.
There is career support for Dog individuals this year around September, October and November, however you should also be mindful of maintaining a healthy work/life balance because people on the home front may feel somehow left out. Make time for quality communication and be ready to compromise with family and loved ones in order to ensure a harmonious balance.
You can further boost your luck potential in 2018 by doing some light renovation or excavation or placing a continually moving object in the location of the annual Dragon Virtue qi (which affects a third of the SE sector, closest to where SE meets South). Activating this annual qi with regular movement and activity will help remove blockages and obstacles that may be preventing forward progress.
People born in the year of the Rabbit make good mentors/allies and this partnership can attract abundance opportunity to you.

Keep the water fresh and the plant healthy. Once you have connected with your partner, replace the Wood and Water combination with a happy couple photo of you both in a blue, black, green or natural timber frame.
Boar (Hai) 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007
The annual Sun, 1 Tan Lang and Robbery Sha all affect the Boar zone in the Northwest sector in 2018. This is a mixed bag of tricks as these energies attract both positive and negative qi and indicate you should be extra security conscious with your belongings this year, however you also have support for all forms of learning and development of the intellect.
The annual 1 Tan Lang qi is supportive for intelligence and wisdom, (thus supporting all forms of upskilling and education), although you should also be mindful this influence can increase the effects of alcohol and/or negative emotions in the NW sector.
Abundance opportunity is more likely to occur around February, June, August and November.
Be extra careful with security and personal belongings this year – especially when travelling. Make sure you have good travel insurance and clearly label your luggage.

Rat (Zi) 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
The Wu Xu energy of 2018 brings good fortune to the Rat individual who is prepared to take on more responsibility and be accountable for their words and actions. 2018 is a year when you must play by the rules. There are no short cuts this year – you must plan and prepare and then your due diligence will be rewarded with the ability to save and build a nest egg of assets and/or investments.
There will be some delays and obstacles to circumnavigate this year and that’s why it’s important to rein in impulsiveness and carefully consider your options before proceeding. Troublesome individuals are more likely to cause tension and/or miscommunication around April, June, September and October, so be extra cautious will all communications during these months when misunderstandings can more easily occur.
Be extra careful to avoid renovation, construction, excavation and cutting down trees in the North sector of your home and property from 4 Feb 2018 until 3 Feb 2019. If the North sector is disturbed, the energy of the annual 5 Yellow and Sarm Sart can trigger 3 types of misfortune to occur, so keep this area uncluttered and well maintained, without noisy disruptive disturbance and all will be well.

In 2018 the Wu Xu energy stimulates the annual Moon qi in Chou which connects with the ability to communicate well with others. You can further support this annual qi if you place a continually moving object in the Northeast sector of your home and/or office (closest to where NE meets North). The annual Moon qi is especially favourable for females and individuals wanting to calm and harmonise their emotions while also opening up the lines of productive communication.
The annual 3 Lu Cun qi in the Ox zone indicates you will need to develop your competitive side in order to achieve this year, otherwise you risk quarrelsome and litigious energy stirring the pot. Research your competitors and work on your point of difference – it will help you succeed in 2018. You should also be wary of tricksters and dodgy investments this year.

You should also be careful with your lower limbs and feet and wear sensible footwear. If you develop heel pain or a weak knee or ankle, it’s important that you address the issue and get it seen to by a specialist.

During the Wu Xu year in 2018, the annual Dog energy combines with your Rabbit energy to produce Fire qi. If Fire is favourable in your Chinese Astrology, then this combination will enable you to influence and persuade others. If Fire is unfavourable, then you will need to be extra careful with your communications as you may risk losing the respect of others via miscommunication and/or a throw away comment that is taken out of context.

The Wu Xu energy in 2018 brings some clash of qi. You are an opposing force in the Dog year, so this is a year to batten down the hatches, adopt a humble, pragmatic and generally conservative and cautious outlook.
You should also be prepared for change to occur – most likely in relation to where you live or work or via a change in assets. Don’t fight the change – it’s inevitable so you might as well embrace it and hold on for the ride ahead.

In 2018 the Snake individual enjoys the combination of the annual 8 White qi plus the annual Dragon Virtue qi which helps remove obstacles and opens up the doors of opportunity. Of course, you still need to take action in order to connect with the opportunity and one of the first actions you should take this year (from 4 Feb) is to lightly renovate/excavate or add a continually moving object (or a decorative lamp that changes colour) to the Southeast sector of your home or office (closest to where SE meets South). This will help open up the pathways for positive planning and action throughout the year.

Goat individuals enjoy the presence of the annual Fortune Virtue and 6 White Wu Qu energies in 2018. This combination connects with happiness and maintaining positive focus, especially if you have a continually moving object positioned in the SW sector of your home and/or office (closest to where SW meets South). This will activate the annual Fortune Virtue qi in the Southwest sector during the Wu Xu year and will help negate the effect of the Wei/Xu energy combination which can otherwise entice you to feel somehow left out or deprived during the Dog year.
So, if you find yourself feeling vulnerable or left out, go to the Southwest sector of your home (where the SW meets South), and open up any windows in this location, move the furniture around, dig up the garden or do some light renovation (eg drilling or hammering) in this location to rebalance the qi and reconnect you with positive happy social vibes.
The annual 6 White qi encourages the Goat individual to take on more responsibility and demonstrate leadership ability. Career energy will tend to be more supportive around June and December.

Place a teaspoon of bi-carb soda into the vase and nothing else. This will help protect against sickness qi that resides in the Rooster zone this year.
Once the sickness qi is contained within the gourd or empty gourd-shaped vase, the energy of the annual 2 Ju Men qi in the Rooster location will support frugal savings and connect with supportive maternal and meditative energy.
