The fourth stem represents Yin fire and provides the intensity to allow
things to become fully grown. This element has a tone that resonates
with the Heart and is activated through chanting rituals. Doing so will
harmonize the spiritual and emotional bodies and cool off the Heart.
The tenth branch represents a clay decanter where fermented
products can be made, such as wine from millet; it corresponds to
harvests, dryness, the Western direction, and the 5-7pm time period.
The melodic Na Yin () element of the year is Fire of the Hill
Bottom, which takes the image of burning brushfires and fireflies.
Representing a Peach Blossom year, look for love if single and foster
your bond if in a relationship.
2017 represents hexagram 38, Opposition, which translates as deep
misunderstanding and estrangement. In the ancient times, men would
string pieces of wood for bows and use hardened pieces of wood in
the fire for arrows. The use of the bow and arrow was to keep the
world in fear. All beings stand in opposition to one another; what they
do takes on order thereby. 2017 is therefore a year to retain your
individuality.

Forecast
This is where the Tai Sui is situated. Be sure to hang a Tai Sui charm here. Avoid facing this
direction in 2017 instead, use the energy of the Tai Sui behind you to maximize efforts. This
direction also has the presence of curved tongues which brings about arguments, litigation, and
misunderstandings. Be sure to thoroughly review all contractual agreements and avoid lawsuits
at all costs. If a door is facing this direction, never slam it or it will lead to hostility in the family.
This star wants things to be noisy and argumentative instead, keep it peaceful and avoid using
doors that face in this direction.
The Two Black star brings with it health issues to the Northwest in 2017; the Dog and Boar are
most in danger of harm from sudden or prolonged diseases. If you live in a house that faces or
sits in the Northwest, be sure to place a sickness charm in this direction. If your bedroom lies in
the Northwest, consider sleeping in another room if at all possible in 2017.
Heavenly blessings appear in the North with the arrival of the Six White star. This represents
good fortune and contains the Star of Powerful Mentors, which will especially help those born
under the sign of the Mouse. It is like having a guardian angel watching you from above. Homes
sitting towards the North or with a front door facing this direction will have great good fortune and
luck in 2017. Great location for a bed, desk or office.
This direction in 2017 contains the Stars of Scholastic Brilliance and Peach Blossom, bringing
about love and success in educational endeavors, especially if you are born in Ox or Tiger years.
A bedroom located in this direction would enhance ones love life or marriage. There is also
good fortune in meeting a significant other, becoming engaged, or getting married. From an
educational perspective, placing your desk here will considerably accelerate your academic
progress. If you are a writer, the Northeast will bring forth great good fortune in 2017. Be sure to
sit here when taking tests and examinations as well.
The One White star brings good luck to everyone in the household, especially those who gather
often in a room in the center of the house. This also brings the Money star to the center of the
home, carrying great good fortune in business and career endeavors. Having an office, desk, or
bedroom in the center of the home will bring about auspicious luck for the entirety of 2017. Use
the energy of this direction to achieve beyond your competition, bringing about success, wealth,
and luck
This direction is affected by both the Sn Sh Three Killings star and the Su P
Broken Year star. The Sn Sh brings misfortune in loss of material items, illness, and
financial ruin. Tigers and Rabbits must be extra careful. The Su P brings with it authorityrelated problems. Be particularly careful in this direction and avoid traveling to Eastern areas of
the world. While the Sn Sh sits in the East, it affects homes with a front door facing West. Be
sure to keep the Sn Sh out in front of you, where you can see the misfortune developing. Do
not sit with your back facing East, do not break ground in this direction, and do not routinely use
doors here otherwise you face the possibility of harming your fortune in 2017
Homes that sit or face Southeast will have good fortune in 2017, bringing about promotions,
fame, recognition, and financial gains. This direction also contains a festive energy that supports
auspicious times and celebrations whether it is a wedding, childbirth, promotion at work, or a
new business venture. If you are able to harness the positive energy of this direction in 2017, it
will magnify the success of your endeavors. Keep this area of your home well-lit and use this
direction for all of your parties!
The Five Yellow flies into the South in 2017, bringing misfortune to the grounds in this area. Be
sure to avoid construction here or disturbing the energy of the land. Do not slam doors in the
South or create too much noise or commotion, otherwise tragedy and accidents will occur. Avoid
breaking ground, digging, or performing household renovations in this direction; instead, it is best
to leave the entire area undisturbed. Sleeping or working in this area will result in heart disease,
insomnia, and other emotional disorders. Be mindful and seriously consider using an alternative
entryway if the front door of your home or office faces South. This will affect those born under the
Horse sign the most. Be careful!
The Seven Red flies into the Southwest in 2017, carrying with it violence, bloodshed, death, loss,
robbery, and theft, particularly folks born in the Monkey or Sheep year. There is serious
probability for loss if your front door faces in this direction perhaps this would be a good time
for you to install a home security system to ward away thieves. Avoid this area as best as
possible and use protective Feng Shui to offset issues in this direction. Protect yourself from
injury, particularly accidents involving metal. There is a high risk of bankruptcy in this direction,
so be sure to invest conservatively and be careful when traveling in the Southwest.
