How to Create More Good Luck For Yourself in 2009

I mentioned in my previous article that this is a double Earth year. 2009 is the Earth Ox year,and Ox also represents Earth. This article is specially written for 3 groups of people. Firstly,those born in Earth months. People born in Earth months already have plenty of Earth in their 8 characters. They don't need more Earth. More Earth will only cause their luck cycle to be down.

There are 2 people in my family born in Earth months. Not only that,their chart is dominated by Earth. They are my grandmother and my eldest aunt. I am quite concerned about them,especially in terms of health. Though this article is also for them,both of them don't use the internet. I will still have to advise them verbally.

The Earth months are as follows:

Dragon Month: 5th April to 5th May

Sheep Month: 7th July to 7th August

Dog Month: 8th October to 7th November

Ox Month: 6th January to 3rd February

The next group of people are those born in Autumn (8th August to 7th October). This group of people are not affected as much as those born in Earth months, but they still need to improve their luck cycle. As I mentioned before,Autumn people have a lot of Metal in their 8 characters. Metal is unfavorable to them. Since this is a double Earth year, it will produce more Metal, which is unfavorable.

The last group of people are the Winter born people (8th November to 5th January). Among the 3 groups, you are the least affected. Your luck cycle will be quite average this year, as Earth weakens Fire, which is your favorable element.

Before you can improve your luck cycle, you need to know which element is needed. Whatever information I share with you here is only 80% accurate, as I don't have your exact date of birth. But basing on month, I can tell you which are likely your favorable elements.

For those born in Earth months, you need to increase the effect of Wood in 2009. Wood destroys Earth. By using Wood, you can improve your luck cycle in 2009. This especially applies to Fire people born in Earth months. If you are born in Autumn or Winter, you will need both Fire and Wood.

Fire first because Autumn and Winter are consider the cold seasons. Wood is used to strengthen the Fire and keep it going. For Autumn people, you need Fire because Fire helps to weaken Metal. This especially applies if you are an Earth or Fire person born in Autumn. For Autumn people, Wood alone also works, as Metal destroys Wood,Wood will help to weaken the strong Metal.

For the Winter people, Fire is the most important element as you need to "anti-freeze". With only Wood, there is not much effect. You need to have Fire first, then Wood. In conclusion, Wood and Fire are required for improving your luck cycle this year. Next, I will list out what are the 16 things you can do on a daily basis to increase the effect of Wood and Fire in your life.

1. Using Green. This can mean wearing more Green clothes, wearing anything Green or using anything Green. (Increases Wood)

2. Spending more time at book shops or libraries. Reading more newspapers or magazines. Spending more time writing on paper. Paper represents the Wood element. (Increases Wood)

3. Spending more time shopping for clothes, wearing more than 1 layer of clothes. As mentioned earlier, Green is Wood. Wearing more Green will increase the effect more. If you are in the army, 2009 will be quite good for you. (Increases Wood)

4. Go for morning walks at the park, especially from 5am to 7am. 5am to 7am is the Rabbit hour. It is the hour with the most Wood throughout the whole day. During your morning walk, go and touch the biggest tree you can find. (Increases Wood)

5. Travel East or face East. East is the direction of Wood. (Increases Wood)

6. Hang around or spend more time with people born in Spring (4th February to 4th April). These people have lots of Wood in their 8 characters. They can help you reduce the effect of Earth. (Increases Wood)

7. Eating more vegetables,especially leafy green ones. Better if you go vegetarian. (Increases Wood)

8. Keeping a Rabbit or Cat as a pet. In Chinese Astrology,the Rabbit and Tiger represents Wood. Since Tigers and cats are from the same family,cats also represent Wood. By keeping these 2 types of animals as pets,you can increase Wood. If you don't want the hassle of keeping pets,you can also have figures or soft toys of these 2 types of animals. (Increases Wood)

9. Using Red,Orange or Purple.This means wearing clothes of these colors and using anything with these colors. (Increases Fire)

10. Go sun tanning, spending more time at your computer,spending more time at lighting shops or electrical appliance shops. (Increases Fire)

11. Spending more time talking on your cell phone. The effect of Fire is stronger when using your cell phone as compared to your home or office phone. (Increases Fire)

12. Eat more hot and spicy or BBQ food. Better still if you barbecue the food yourself. Cooking is also a Fire activity. Even by spending more time in the kitchen is also considered increasing Fire in your life. (Increases Fire)

13. Spend more time with people born in Summer (6th May to 6th July). These people have too much Fire. They'll love to have someone (usually Winter people) to come along and help them balance their Fire. (Increases Fire)

14. Keeping your bathroom lights (your bedroom's bathroom) on throughout the night. This increases Fire and reduces Water. (Increases Fire)

15. Travel South or face South. South is the direction of Fire. (Increases Fire)

16. Spend more time driving, especially if you have a Red car. Cars represent Fire. The longer you stay in your car, the stronger the effect of Fire. (Increases Fire)

I hope you will benefit from these 16 tips. Next article, I will share with you basing on your chinese horoscope, what 2009 has in store for you. Stay tuned!
