Annual Outlook for 2005
by Joey Yap
Rat (1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996)
Rats are also regarded as 'Offending the Grand Duke' in 2005.
This is because the celestial animal of Rat is in a
'Destruction' formation with the Rooster in the study
of Chinese Astrology. This is why you should be cautious
of legal troubles, gossips, slander and arguments. Relationship
matters will also prove tiresome. It would be advisable
to take the passive route and keep a low profile. Destruction
could also mean ambush. In business or at work, do your
best not to offend anyone. Maintain cordial harmonious
communications at all times. Ladies born in the year
of the Rat are more fortunate than the Men.
There
is a Tai Yin (Moon) Star in the Rat palace this year.
Tai Yin favors financial affairs. This star particularly
benefits the ladies. Men on the other hand, should be
careful of problems created by the opposite sex.
Ox(1949,
1961, 1973, 1985, 1997)
 There
is a nobleman star in the Ox palace this year. This
denotes help from people in all endeavours. There is
also a 'San Tai' (Three Stages) star in the Ox palace
that represents unseen assistance from mentors or superiors.
This year particularly favours those who are in governmental
posts or working in large corporations. Good fortune
also smiles down on those of you who are undertaking
exams, as this year brings to you good teachers.
On
the downside, there is also a minor auxiliary star called
'Guan Hu' (Officer Decree) that creates hassles and
disruptions. This year may be chaotic and disorientating
for some. It is quite easy to get stressed out and fall
ill. So do take care of your mental health. There are
also two negative stars - Blood Knife and Flying Dagger
in your palace this year symbolizing potential health
risks. It is best to do some charitable work at the
start of the year to minimize this possible impact.
Tiger(1950,
1962, 1974, 1986, 1998)
 There
is a strong noble star residing in the Tiger palace
this year. This denotes that people born in the Year
of the Tiger will receive the help of the Nobleman (strong,
helpful people) luck. All negative matters can be resolved
harmoniously at the end. Problems carried forward from
last year (Year of the Monkey) can be resolved this
year with help from outside parties.
Rabbit
(1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999)
 Rabbits
face a 'clash' with the Rooster. Which is why the most
detrimentally affected animal in the Rooster year is
the Rabbit. This star clashes with the Grand Duke. Especially
for elderly folks, this year you need to watch out for
health issues. Even the common flu can sometimes take
months to heal. It would be best to adopt a healthy
diet and regular exercise.
Business
people, as this year has a direct impact on your Celestial
sign, do be very careful of rash or hasty decisions.
Things can often seem too good to be true. Good deals
can turn to out to be lemons and result in you losing
money. So the advice here is to stay calm and keep your
eyes peeled.
This
year will likely see you moving houses, changing jobs
or even changing your work place. Somehow the year seems
restless and you are always on the move. Remember, it
may be a good idea to think twice before making any
serious decisions.
Women
born in the year of the Rabbit and who are expecting
this year should take note of their health especially
during the months when the baby will be due. If your
health is poor, there might be complications and you
may want to consider opting for a caesarean birth.
Dragon(1940,
1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000)
 There
are two very favorable stars shining in the Dragon palace
this year - the Zi Wei (Purple Star) and the Long De
(Dragon Virtue). These two stars, together with the
fact that Dragons are 'combining' with the Grand Duke
(Rooster) of the year denotes that Dragons will enjoy
quite a fruitful and prosperous year ahead!
Those
who are employed may enjoy a raise or promotion while
those in their own businesses have the potential for
a new ventures and increased financial success. The
combination between Dragon and Rooster (Year) denotes
that you are able to receive favors and admired by those
around you.
Though
everything appears to be smooth sailing, your financial
wealth at the end of the year may ot be what you had
foreseen it to be. This is because there is a 'Frightened
Goat' star hidden in the background of this palace.
This denotes the possibility of 'losing' money without
realizing it which could shock you when you take stock
of your situation at the end of the 2005. However this
is not altogether detrimental and only serves as a minor
setback. Be sure that you take note of your good fortune
and make full use of a good year ahead.
Snake(1941,
1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001)
 The
Snake is in a 'Combination' formation with the Rooster.
The snake is a Fire Star while the Rooster is a Wealth
star. This denotes two possibilities - the attainment
of 'Wealth' (because Metal is the Wealth element of
Fire) and the good fortune of enjoying a loving relationship.
Combinations denote an affinity with someone, especially
for Men born in the Snake year.
Because
of the combination with the Grand Duke, this year brings
many opportunities in terms of business and career.
Always remember, good fortune only comes to those who
are prepared. You need to take action when opportunity
knocks. If you procrastinate, you will miss the boat.
Horse(1930,
1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990)
 The
Fu Xing (Prosperous Star) shines brightly in the Horse
palace this year. People born in the year of the Horse
will enjoy a trouble free year ahead in most endeavours.
You will be making new friends and pursuing new ventures.
This year there will be opportunities for you to showcase
your talents and receive recognition for past efforts.
Others will take notice of your contribution and give
you the respect you rightfully deserve.
The
Tian De (Heavenly Virtue) Star shines in your palace
this year. This denotes that your good deeds and past
contribution and efforts are now bearing fruits. You
will reap the rewards this year. However if you have
not done much to contribute in the past, your rewards
this year will not be as great.
The
only minor setback of the year is caused by the presence
of the Xian Chi (Salty Pool) star, which denotes romance
related problems. Thus this year, though it is good
for most aspects of your life, it is not as conducive
for relationship matters. If your bonds with your partner
are not strong, break-ups or heartbreaks can be expected.
Therefore it is best to control your emotions this year.
Goat(1943,
1955, 1967, 1979, 1991)
 There
more inauspicious stars than good stars residing in
the Goat palace this year. People born under this sign
should be cautious in all business endeavours and preferably
take a back seat when it comes to high profile positions.
It is best to stay humble and offer others the limelight
instead. Though the auspicious star "Eight Seats"
helps boost your status and social recognition, it is
best not to take credit to avoid the potential jealousy
of others - a prospect that could lead to a lot of unnecessary
annoyance.
The
starting of the year will be difficult and filled with
aggravations. This should level out towards the later
part of the year. It is also not a good year to pursue
relationships as this year there is a Lonesome Star
residing in your Life Palace. This star does not foster
good relationship ties. Do be careful whilst travelling
as this year you are prone to injuries or accidents.
Monkey
(1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992)
 People
born under this sign must be cautious of health concerns.
There is an illness star residing in the Monkey palace
in 2005. Elderly folks especially should undertake regular
medical check-ups as early as possible in the year.
Younger folks are not exempted from the influence of
this illness star. You too should watch your diet and
maintain a regular routine of exercise and the necessary
health precautions.
There
is a 'Death God' star in the Monkey Palace this year.
This star does not mean death but rather it is star
that denotes disappointments. Therefore there is a high
possibility that major projects you will be handling
will encounter much obstruction and be plagued with
trouble, possibly leading to failure.
You
need to keep an eye on the person you select as a partner
for your projects or at work. Perhaps this is where
the problem will start. It is important to make sure
all documentation and agreements are clear to avoid
potential miscommunications.
Rooster
(1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993)
 Those
born in the Year of the Rooster are considered 'Offending
The Grand Duke' (Fan Tai Sui) in 2005. This denotes
that it will not be a smooth year for various financial
activities. You also need to be cautious when travelling
as this year suggests a greater tendency for possible
injuries from accidents.
Fortunately,
there are also two 'auspicious' stars shining in the
Rooster palace this year. These are 'The General Star'
and the 'Golden Lock'. The General Star governs 'authority'
and the Golden Lock brings the Rooster opportunities
in business. Thus, even though in 2005 Roosters offend
the Grand Duke, the end result of the year could very
well be favourable.
Pay
attention to these problematic months - February, April
and August.
Dog
(1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994)
 People
born in the year of the Dog are also regarded as 'Offending
the Grand Duke' in 2005. This is because in the study
of BaZi, the Dog and Rooster are in a 'Harm' formation.
Harm in this case denotes 'betrayal' or disappointments
in relationships. Particularly for ladies who are born
in the year of the Dog; this year might not be such a
wonderful year for fostering good relationships. You need
to control your temper and rein in your suspicious nature.
Men who are born in the year of the Dog however, will
fare better. Although there may still be small spots of
trouble, you will probably triumph in the end, resulting
in a promotion or even a raise.
Unavoidably,
there will be much gossiping, back biting (and in severe
cases - legal complications) and perhaps even some financial
loss. As long as you mind your own business and avoid
getting involved in other people's issues, everything
will be fine and peaceful for you.
Pig
(1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995)
 The
stars shine bright for those who are born in the year
of the Pig this year. This formation is called "Lu
Ma Jiao Ma' - Prosperous Horse on the Saddle - which
is auspicious for ushering good returns, financially
speaking. Since this is a 'travelling horse' formation,
this refers to 'moving wealth' - meaning money in investments
or in trading. Fixed or slow moving wealth - such as
your salary or residual income will not benefit from
this formation. This year also favours the starting
of new projects and businesses. There is also a star
called "Di Jie - Earth Relief' in the Pig palace
this year. This star helps resolve old lingering issues.
If you had a problem carried forward from the previous
year - like an old debt, favours to be repaid or old
health problems - this year should see a resolution.
