Ushering in 2009 with utmost happiness, positivity and hope, we will soon move into the Chinese Lunar New Year from the 26th of Jan 2009. The year as per the Chinese almanac "Tong Shu" classifies it as "The Year of the Earth OX - JI CHOU". The Year 2009 will be a "YEAR OF OPPORTUNITES" with a lot of progress in International relationship, peace process and economic development. It will also be a year focused on protecting earth resources depletion, improving agriculture, new methods of housing, construction and real estate activities. A year when the focus would be to care for our "Mother Earth. Organizing the Feng Shui of the place during this time and fine tuning it further can activate the luck cycle even better and protect the occupants from afflictions. As done every year in many parts of the globe, Home and the Office need a thorough "Spring Cleaning" moving of furniture and Feng Shui cures (if any) to counter bad luck an activate the good sectors for the year . You could also carry a personal amulet like the Bagua horoscope Coin to mitigate bad luck .
