And in the Far East, the Five Yellow brought Earthquakes and Tsunamis to Japan, and floods to China and Thailand. Eight Arab nations in the Middle East, under attack by the Hostility Number 7 star were siege, air-bombed, and their leaders brutally captured and killed. Economic decline descended upon the US and Europe, threatening to shift the balance of financial power across the world!

| Feng Shui Predictions For 2013 |
WILL THIS GLOOMY FINANCIAL TREND CONTINUE IN 2013?
Despite what economists, financial analysts and political forecasters are saying, I take a refreshingly optimistic view on what's to come in 2013. Just remember you read it here in my blog first as what we are about to share with you goes beyond everything you have read in the news!
First, the Snake Year's Paht Chee chart shows fewer dashes than the previous year, which tells us that the Year of the Snake is going to be a less violent year. Unlike the Dragon Year where the Hostile 7 star dominated the chart, 2013 has the HEAVENLY SIX star in the centre, which brings the energies of spiritual and divine help. You can say the Gods arc smiling on 2013, as this is a year when dramatic transformations like miracles will manifest.
So I predict RECOVERY and GROWTH! The Year of the Snake is blessed with a Lap Chun (Spring) and a very strong Wood Element as its self-element. This points to a more positive 2013 and hence the first tip I recommend for taking advantage of this growth energy is to bring the color green into your wardrobes and handbags for 2013!
The Prosperity Star shines on the West, and this will fuel the spectacular rise of the Phoenix emerging from the fiery ashes. The West of course refers to USA, the mighty Eagle (the earthly manifestation of the Phoenix and in Hindu Astrological systems, the equivalent of the Rooster).
Those of you living in the USA will see the economy begin to recover and the financial markets pick up with a vengeance! I place the timing of this sometime around Spring, with noticeable improvement by Summer ... and this will carry on steadily until Autumn.
If you are heavily invested in the financial markets, her advice is to cash out by August, latest by September! If increased income luck is what you desire, activate your West corners with a Snake Water Feature and install a Prosperity Ship sailing in from the West direction!
Yes, there is MONEY to be made in 2013! Earth is the element of Wealth in 2013, and the Paht Chee chart shows two direct Earth and one hidden Earth element. Hence those in Earth industries such as real estate, land mining, rock, gemstones and crystals will see their businesses blossom, and property values will rise.
Even if you are not involved in Earth industries, you can harness this auspicious energy. I advise everyone to display perfectly round crystal balls and crystal jewels etched with wishfulfilling inscriptions and auspicious symbols to create the presence of Earth luck inside the home. Those of you fond of creating bowls and vases with gold ingots might also want to add some ingots carved out of quartz or other "Earth" material.
But amidst recovery, there is plenty of anger brought by four Yearly Conflict Stars of the 24 Mountains. There are two in the West and one in the Southwest, suggesting that political and social instability that started in 2012 will continue; dissatisfaction between the very rich and the lower to middle classes will grow stronger! Metal energy is in low supply, and this element represents POWER luck in 2013, signifying that leaders lack the authority to fully call the shots. "They will always need to consider factors that seep into their power.
This is the kind of year when the general population - the masses - are more powerful than their presidents and prime ministers. Employees yield more power than their CEOs. Thus social unrest instigated by disgruntled troublemakers cannot be ignored. Occupy Wall Street could be here to stay, at least until the Economy demonstrates real signs of stabiling.
On the subject of leaders, I also predicts that the world could witness prominent change in male heads of states across the globe. 2013 is an election year for many parts of the world, and male leaders of the world are in danger of being usurped, some could even be deposed by violent means.
The Palace of the Patriarch is seriously afflicted by the Violent Number 7; this Metal star spells danger brought by metal weapons, and becomes even more powerful as it enters the Northwest, which is also a Metal sector, creating violent energy from metal upon metal.
I advises all male leaders of the world to adopt the approach of peaceful collaboration and friendship, rather than use hostility or the threat of arms as a means to resolve conflict.
Fire energy, which represents intelligence, is missing from the main chart - pointing to a lack of clever thinking in decisions made by those in power.
Together with the four Yearly Conflict stars, this is a year when actions are dictated more by emotions than sound judgement. Luckily there is hidden Yin and Yang Fire, providing hope that the advisers surrounding world leaders will help with better decision-making!
Any violent conflict started this year is sure to end baldly as the Four Pillars Chart of 2013 shows clashing energies and tension towards the Winter Season around December period.
I urge everyone to make friends, not enemies! This is a year where strength comes from new alliances being forged. There are three Wood Elements in the chart, which indicates that Growth becomes possible when strategic partnerships are made.
The mighty Snake must frolic with the Phoenix (bird) for there to be serious economic recovery. The Paht Chee chart clearly depicts the presence of the Rooster (the Earthly manifestation of the Phoenix) and the Snake, and these two animals are powerful Secret Friends in the Zodiac.
Hence we could see China (the Dragon) entering into a very intimate and possibly secret handshake with America (the Bird) and together they will rescue the American Economy from spiraling further downwards. The support fro Astrological Allies and Friends will be the salvation of this year, and it is for this reason that I have introduced the Ally Crest in all her 2013 wealth wallets.
Astrological partnerships bring growth energy to businesses and personal careers this year ... and everyone is advised to carry their set of allies inside their wallets and purses to harness good fortune for the Year of the Snake.
Will the natural disasters continue? The Paht Chee chart indicates a clash between Earth and Water in the Year Pillar, a big clue that the threat of earthquakes, landslides and water disasters will continue.
The lack of direct Fire could also trigger fire-related disasters such as bush fires and volcanic eruptions. Hence I advise that everyone should wear the color red to balance out the missing fire, and invite the Earth Stupa into their homes for cosmic protection. Amulets with seed syllables like HRIH and OM, and Sacred Scarves containing powerful protection sutras can be worn during travel for protection.
I also advises fathers and grandfathers to be extra careful as the Number 7 star brings robbery and physical danger. Men should wear amulets with seed syllables BAM and BHRUM touching the skin to protect against harm.
Wives and Mothers are vulnerable to aggravations caused by relationship conflicts and straying husbands. The External Flower of Romance makes an appearance, so either wives or husbands could find themselves succumbing to clandestine dalliances.
To make matters worse, the #3 star lands itself in the Palace of the Matriarch (Southwest), bringing gossip, slander, and quarrelsome energy ... adding stress to relationships. For those who wish to safeguard their marriages this year, carry the Flower of Romance Amulet and place Red Crystal Balls in the Southwest. Bring Fire energy into the Southwest by keeping lights on during the night.
Finally, I advise everyone to invite the energy of the Tortoise into their homes this year. This completes the formation of the Four Celestial Guardians, creating the perfect feng shui arrangement for the energies of every home. Animal signs whose energy levels are low can fortify their chi essence simply by wearing the Tortoise Chakra Amulet for their animal sign ... this is the most effective way to harness the energies of 2013 and to benefit from all the goodies offered by the Year of the Snake!
