In the study of Feng Shui, those whose birth sign clashes with Tai Sui may face certain misfortunes or disturbances during the year. These five signs should be more careful by avoiding marriages, buying houses and opening shops, and should participate in more social activities, wear more red coloured underwear and practice more charity.

Rat
Conflict with Tai Sui this year will have an impact on the Rat’s emotions. Often you will not be able to take anothers’ criticisms or opinions, resulting in bad luck on a social level, and easily having arguments with friends and family, and everyone close to you. If these confrontations are not resolved properly, they are very likely to cause family discord for a long period. The problem will affect people operating family businesses the most and will be most severe in the middle of the year. However, Rats could have some luck in the area of wealth this year, so it is the right time to for investments, purchases and sales. Regarding employment, with the help of people around you, career development will be very smooth and there will be many opportunities for promotions. The blessing of the love star comes to the Rat this year with celebration and marriage. Between June and July, the star of Celestial Happiness will join the Rat, so singles will find their love. It is also a good time for married couples to have children and relationships will remain harmonious.


Ox
Oxen should be more careful at work this year. With the arrival of an evil star, they will have many problems and difficulties. People may appear to speak ill of your work behind your back, in order to get in the way of your normal work and promotions. Be more careful with colleagues of these four signs – Goats, Dogs, Dragons and Horses. Ox entrepreneurs are capable of developing international business. If they work for online business platforms, they can devote more time and launch more live broadcasts. As long as it is something innovative, it will be successful. Ox women find the loneliness star this year, meaning they will be alone for longer or may have relationship troubles. To ease the situation, it is recommended to put nine fresh flowers in the room. The best time for good fortune is between September and October, so this can be another incentive for investment. If Oxen wish to start or expand their businesses, it is best to start in the second half of the year. Either way, financial luck is very good this year.


Tiger
Tigers have no auspicious stars this year, so it is difficult to make breakthroughs and improvements in work and career. In spring, because of the sickness star, it is possible to have minor illnesses, disputes, accidents, and also a lack of energy leading to irritations from small things. Take care of your health and watch out for problems caused by so-called villains. Tigers should also pay attention to friends who are Monkeys, Snakes and Pigs. If they sell you some nutritional supplements, medicines or medical equipment, discuss first with your family and do not make the decision alone. This year, the star of the God of Death appears again in the marriage area. For Tiger ladies, you may be separated from your husbands due to crime, business or illness. In any case, this star is evil so you need to pay more attention to your husbands to maintain stability, avoiding great successes and failures. Entrepreneurs will have new business opportunities, but remember, this year there will be no help from others, so you must do business and risk analysis in advance in order to make profit.


Rabbit
The Rabbit offends the God Tai Sui this year. There will be accidents causing physical injuries. It is recommended that you make a dental appointment at the beginning of the year to let some blood flow to dissolve the event. The God Tai Sui manages the affairs of quarrels and disputes, so people who offend Tai Sui will encounter problems at work. The middle of the year is the turning point, and you will have the opportunity for a small change of job, transferring to other departments. People who do business are also affected by Tai Sui. In general, your thinking is not clear and logic will be more chaotic, so it is easy to make mistakes. You must be vigilant when entering into and signing contracts. Married Rabbits will have difficulty in communication, and argue over some unimportant matters. It is not advisable to travel abroad, on the contrary, you will have conflict with others and it may cause financial losses or legal disputes. In addition, you should improve your communication and relationship skills. The Rabbit’s temperament will be particularly bad this year, which can destroy relationships with acquaintances, leading to a great loss.


Dragon
Despite the difficulty posed by Tai Sui, Dragons’ careers will go well in the Year of Rabbit. Having the Sun star, which is a male star, for Dragon women, if their boss at work is a man, they will be promoted. For those who have work related to men, for example men’s clothing, horse trainers or even cooks, you will get help from others and have great opportunities for promotions. On the other hand, it should be noted that your emotions are a little unstable. For married women who intend to accomplish something, your family may oppose this and will be angry with you. However, it is better not to aggravate their emotions, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with. Workers are excited this year. They will be busy all year round and face challenges every day. The most encouraging thing for Dragons is that there will be many legitimate opportunities to earn money outside of work, so take advantage of it! The Sun star brings positive energy and good luck throughout the year. You’ll have more financial luck in March。.


Snake
The movement star is coming up so Snakes will have many opportunities for work outside their home country. Take advantage of the joy of work and travel, but sightseeing is not a theme of your work this year. The movement star will bring changes in employment. In the best case, you will get promoted, but in the worst case, you will work for some idle departments. You should beware of colleagues who are Pigs, Tigers and Monkeys, as they may say one thing, but act differently. Remember not to speak ill of your boss, do not break company rules and do not share details of your private life with your colleagues. For married women, the breakup star will affect family life. Couples should be wary of losing emotional control. Communicate more to reduce misunderstandings. For single Snakes, there is no love star this year. The breakup star brings negative energy, so even if there is an opportunity to establish a romantic relationship, the sweetest dreams may be in vain in the end.


Horse
The Horse is one of the five zodiac signs confronting the God Tai Sui this year. “Broken” and “incomplete” are words to describe the year for the Horse. Married Horses may face the destruction of their marriage due to a lover. This year is not energetic and vital and you may easily lose self-confidence. The movement of the star “rope tightens” affects luck in the area of study, so students and young people may also encounter some legal disputes. On the other hand, the love luck of the Horse is quite strong, especially for married women, and there may be extra-marital love relationships. For single Horses, this year is also a good year. By writing positive comments on social media platforms, as long as you are well-mannered and with the right mindset, love will come.


Goat
Goats must take care this year. There are two evil stars – the Blood Stab star and the Stab to Goat star. Caution is needed in three areas in particular: Pregnant women should watch out for unintentional miscarriages; Elderly people should be careful not to slip and fall in the bathroom; and children should watch out for injuries at home. Friends of the Goat sign are not lazy people. Normally, Oxen and Goats are very hardworking, but only Goats will encounter the evil star of “five ghosts” this year, so they will easily attract jealousy and envy in their career. They have to understand that “big trees always attract more wind”. The workplace is a battlefield. There are aspects of harmony, but there are also differences of opinion. Some people will decide to get close to you and some people will cheat you, that is the cruelty of the “five ghosts” star. Married men and women have to face the evil of the floating star. There may be many fights between couples this year, and everyone will be very unhappy. Suddenly, Goats will feel suspicious and will not trust the people around them very much.
Monkey
Unlike last year’s bad luck, Monkeys welcome good fortune in career and business this year. For better development, they should dedicate themselves more in their work so they can gain courage for the future. When doing business, the only thing to watch out for is that you need to take care not to lose your fighting spirit. Take care of the damage caused by trusting others, plus you should also be generous with your partners and tolerant with your customers. Remember that you are looking for prosperity in your business, not anger. Workers have the opportunity for promotions since they have worked hard in recent years, and their boss also appreciates it. The pandemic situation will be relatively stable this year, so if the company wants to develop more business, Monkeys will benefit. Not only will you not have to worry about being laid off from your job, but you will also have the opportunity for promotions and a pay rise. Married Monkey’s have no plans to have children this year. Next year is the Year of the Dragon, which belongs to the earth and all things are born of the earth. They can start this year to prepare to have children, and implement the plan next year. For employees in high-risk work, pay attention to operational safety.
Rooster
Keeping a low profile is the principle to avoid bad luck this year. Due to the conflict with Tai Sui, Roosters must be on the lookout for enemies at work. They are everywhere, and your every move will be under scrutiny. Take the initiative to stay after work meetings and leave the room later; be one of the last five people to leave. Remember not to be the leader, it is easy to be attacked. You have to be discreet; the more discreet, the less confrontational. You may need to change your mentality too. For those Roosters who are superiors, you should not give everything to your subordinates to do. Be more responsible and take care of your employees. Particularly if there is group work, you should listen to their conversations more. As long as you learn to care about your subordinates, the bad luck star will not work. It is not advisable to get married or have children this year. Roosters who are not in love yet should not get too obsessed with the lust of men and women. Maintain normal communication, respect each other and turn negative energy into positive energy. This is a good way to deal with Tai Sui.


Dog
Congratulations to Dogs! You are the luckiest among the 12 signs this year. According to the predictions, the good stars of Dragon Virtue and Purple Rose are approaching. Dogs just need to adopt a fighting attitude to deal with work matters and their enemies will step aside. The Dragon Virtue star is a very powerful auspicious star, so promotions at work are possible. Moreover, this star may give you the opportunity to study; maybe your company will assign you to do some training. However, the Evil God star will increase your distrust in love, so Dogs may even suspect betrayal. Although they will not suffer from the loss of love in the Year of the Rabbit, their lovers may get a little tired. From the auspicious stars’ point of view, there may be some arguments between couples, but separation will not be possible.


Pig
This year is a good year for Pigs to look for new work opportunities. The main issue has to do with your mentality. You may become pessimistic about your company and want to resign suddenly. However, the star that represents violence also appears this year to the Pig, causing your emotional intelligence to decrease and your resistance to it to be insufficient. If you have really decided to change jobs, you should first prepare well for it; opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Since there is no love star this year, single Pigs should not get attached to marriage, but consider ex-boyfriends or girlfriends. It is important to know how to take care of your lover’s feelings and how to control your emotions, otherwise you may lose everything all at once. Pigs will be lucky in their finances. They can recover previous losses in the stock market. As for workers, you should spend some money to improve relationships with others at work. If you think this is unnecessary, think a little more; you will realize that your efforts will be worth it at the end of the year.


Unstable Times
The Year of the Rabbit brings movement and instability to the territory
文 By Catarina Chan
Auspicious, intelligent, gentle, energetic and flexible – these are the characteristics that are attributed to the zodiac sign of Rabbits in Chinese culture, and this is also the hope of the population for the new Year of the Rabbit that has arrived. Mickey Hung, Feng Shui master, gives his predictions for the Lunar New Year, pointing out that there will be more movements, such as travel and job changes, as well as instability in the economy.
“Rabbit, looking at its Chinese character, is a very interesting and meaningful word. In past Rabbit years, people were restless and liked to fight for power and profit. Now, times have changed, people don't like to stay in one place for a long time and will travel abroad more often in the Rabbit years,” says Mickey. “Being a year with less stability, it will register more changes in general. In terms of work, due to greater ambition and instability, many will change jobs this year. And even after the change, due to not adapting to the new environment, people will feel more upset and irritated.”
On the economy, the Feng Shui master predicts mixed outcomes for the year.
“In the Year of the Rabbit, the people are eager to change the difficult financial situation, so more business enterprises will emerge. This year, some industries will dominate Macau’s economy. The sectors related to the elements of wood and fire have more favourable conditions. Wood makes paper and is therefore related to sectors such as printing, media, culture and design; while fire refers to the performing arts, hairdressing, make-up and cooking industries.”
“Real estate is an industry based on the earth element among the five elements. Rabbit belongs to wood, and wood clogs the earth, so the real estate market will not be booming this year, not many people will be buying houses. But developers will still have enough funds, so construction will continue, but the sale of government land will not be satisfactory.”
Mickey notes that this year, the elements of gold and earth are missing, which may impact the gaming industry.
“The mainstay of Macau’s economy is entertainment and gaming. These industries belong to water, which is not independent, its survival is related to gold, so the entertainment and gaming industries will not be able to rise much.
“The gaming industry will continue to have a normal development, and at the same time, the technology, electronics, internet and exhibition industries should also be optimistic.
“However, Macau should focus more on development at the international level, rather than relying on the gaming industry to sustain the city. Singular development does not conform to Feng Shui.”
Happily, Mickey also has some positive predictions regarding the pandemic:
“Feng Shui masters believe that the 9th fortune will break out in 2024, which means that the 9th purple star will enter the centre of the Luo Shu square (Chinese mathematical and esoteric diagram). This star belongs to fire, and according to Feng Shui theory, fire overcomes gold, and gold represents pneumonia, so the pandemic will be under control.”
