Year of the Goat starts today, says feng shui expert
Feng shui expert Jane Hor says most people think that the first day of Chinese New Year is the first day of the new lunar calendar.
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 4, 2015:
The first day of the Chinese New Year of the Goat is today and not the first day of the new lunar calendar, contrary to popular belief.
Feng shui expert Jane Hor said the new year would start from 12.09am today as it will mark the entrance into the first solar term, LiChun.In an exclusive interview with The Rakyat Post, Hor who is a metaphysics consultant said most people think that the first day of CNY is the first day of the new lunar calendar.“But actually once it’s in LiChun, then it would already be the new year.“That’s why the old Chinese saying goes ‘LiChun first, then the best year comes’.”She said LiChun begins when the sun reaches the celestial longitude of 315° and ends when it reaches the longitude of 330°.“It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 315°.”She said she examined the “Five Elements” in relation to the Malaysian economy and the prospects of the various sectors and industries.“Finance, the banking industry and share markets are set for weak performances while the economy will still be worrying.“
This year LiChun is considered as “mild gold” which indicates bleak prospects. The finance industry will only perform better from August to October this year.”She predicted that the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th month of the lunar calendar year will be good for the share market and a suitable time for investments.“According to the lunar calendar, the third month will be April 19 , 2015 to May 19, 2015. The sixth month will be from July 16, 2015, till Aug 14, 2015.“The ninth month will be from Oct 13, 2015 till Nov 11, 2015 and the 12th month will be from Jan 10, 2016 till Feb 8, 2016.“For the first six months of the year, the share market will be performing moderately, but will change during the second half of the year with a burst of new energy.”She summarised the five elements prediction as follows:
Metal
According to the LiChun’s calculation, metal is the weakest element. Thus industries like finance, currency and the metal mining industry will perform poorly and be worrying.WoodThis element is very strong this year. This indicates industries like publishing, newspaper, clothing and timber industries which will be extraordinarily active. Although there will be heated competition and the weakest player will lose out to the strongest.
Water
The water related industry will be weak this year, which means industries like tourism, logistics and transportation will have to be cautious.
Fire
This element that includes cosmetics, technology and electricity-related industries and they will perform as usual, but high expectations should not be put on them.
Earth
This element that includes the property sector, construction industry and petroleum industry should be as usual this year. The crude oil price will see an upward trend, but due to the strong influence of the wood element, hard work is required to outperform the others.
