Feng Shui 2017 According To Joey Yap (Part 1)

Last Saturday I attended Joey Yap's 2017 Feng Shui and Astrology
Seminar at KL Convention Centre. It was a full house event just like
previous years.

For those who did not have the opportunity to attend, I will try to share
as much as I can about what I learnt from the seminar. But first, you
need to download your Personal Bazi Chart (PBC) HERE. This is
absolutely necessary so that you can follow what I am about to share
and to make the information relevant to you.

Not exactly sure what is Bazi? Bazi literally means Eight Characters. It's
also known as the Four Pillars of Destiny. Read a brief introduction to
Bazi HERE.
The seminar booklet

If you do not have your Personal Bazi Chart with you, please download it
NOW before continue reading.

In Chinese Metaphysics, the universe is divided into 5 elements, namely

Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Understanding the interactions
between these 5 elements is important in the study and implementation
of feng shui cures. For 5 Elements 101, read HERE.

Below is the Bazi Chart for 2017, the year of the Fire Rooster.
Image taken from Joey Yap's seminar booklet

Note: Images from the booklet are copyrighted. In the event that I am
asked to take them down, I will have no choice but to comply.

Metal appears to be the most dominant element in 2017. This is

followed by Water, Fire, Wood and lastly, Earth which is the weakest.

Now check your PBC. If you have Metal, then this will most likely be a
good year for you. If there is no Metal at all in your PBC, then 2017 will
be a challenging year for you.
Five elements and their strengths in 2017

Sorry if the photos in this post are not very clear. You may want to
magnify the photo or zoom in to be able to read what is shown on the
screen.

According to Joey Yap, in the year 2017, Earth represents Assets, Water
represents Sales, Fire represents Profit, Wood represents Cash and
Metal represents Self.
The formula to get wealthy

Take a look at your PBC. If you have Water, that means you will do well
in sales this year. For people who are not in sales, Water can also mean
influence. If you have Water in your PBC, this means you are able to
influence others. In other words, when you talk, people listen.

If you are a boss intending to hire salespersons this year, then it is a

good idea to check whether they have Water in their PBC. Do not hire
people without Water in their charts. Likewise, if you do not have Water
in your PBC, don't be in charge of sales this year. Instead, find other
people who have water in their charts and partner them!

What if you have Water in your chart and you are not really good in
sales? Then it is the perfect time for you to learn how to sell and learn
how to influence others.

Fire represents Profit in 2017. It also represents accomplishments that

may not have anything to do with wealth. If you have Fire in your PBC,
and you are running a business, this means your business is likely to be
profitable this year. But if you are not in business, Fire in your chart
could mean you will accomplish something this year, like climbing a
mountain or running a marathon, for example.

A profitable business does not neccessarily mean you have cash. Many
businesses that are in profit actually experience cash flow
problems. Wood represents Cash in 2017. So besides having Fire
(profit), you must have Wood (cash) too. Now check your PBC. Do you
have Wood?

If Wood is on the top of your PBC (Heavenly Stems row), everyone

knows you are rich. If Wood is at the bottom (Earthly Branches row), no
one knows you are rich.

So what do you do when you have extra cash? Joey Yap recommends
that you put them back into your self to acquire more assets. The
formula outlined in the photo above is, according to Joey Yap, the
ultimate way to get wealthy.

Earth element is the weakest in 2017. This means resources are low. As
Fire counters Metal, those in Metal industries (eg. automobiles) will
experience regulatory pressures creating strong competition within. On a
personal level, if you have Metal in your PBC, you will experience
positive changes as a result of external pressures.

Water represents innovation. If you have Water in your PBC, 2017 is a

great year to innovate. If you are in business or plan to start a business,
know that the key to success is innovation. Without innovation, your
business cannot survive for long. This simply means if you have no
Water in your chart, do not attempt to start a business in
2017. However, you can get round this by partnering someone who has
Water!

Water in the PBC also means you can easily find talent or hire the right
people.

A lot of people who invest in the stock market often ask which stocks to
buy. Joey Yap said that since companies are run by people, what you
can do is to check the Bazi Chart of the person who runs the company. If
that person has Water in his chart, that means he can innovate and his
business will thrive this year. Therefore, it would be a good company to
invest in.

In the 2017 Bazi Chart, Wood is countered by four Metal. This means
there will be sudden changes. So if you have a lot of Wood in your PBC,
there will be sudden changes in your life this year. An example of
sudden change would be moving house.

Wood in the chart also represents new leadership and new concept or
direction. If you are a CEO of a company and you have Wood in your
PBC, then you should come out with a new concept or direction for your
company.

To summarize, if you have the top three elements -

Metal, Water and Fire - in your PBC, this year will be a very good year
for you. If these three elements are located on the top of your Bazi Chart
(Heavenly Stems), you are very likely to earn Dumb Money this year!

What is Dumb money? It is money that you earn without you knowing
exactly how you earned it. The opposite is Smart Money - money that
you earn by working hard and following a specific way. Most people get
rich via Smart Money. But who would resist Dumb Money? Not me! So
check your PBC - are you among the few lucky ones to have dumb
money this year?

Global Outlook for 2017

Based on the 2017 Bazi Chart, there is a Metal and Fire clash. This
means people are generally not optimistic. But they are more united
against people in command. I take this to mean that in countries where
the citizens are against the policies set by their leaders, they will tend to
group together to oppose their leaders.
The clash between Metal and Fire in the chart also means that
uncertainties will increase. More people will lose their jobs.

Spending on infrastructure will increase globally. However, there will be

much less spending on the environment. Wood and Earth both represent
the environment. Since there is Metal chop Wood in the Chart, and Earth
is also the weakest element in 2017, these are indications that there will
be more environmental disasters in 2017.

The presence of both yin and yang Metal in the Chart indicates tension.
Security wise, there will be more incidences of terrorism. However, Joey
Yap said if you have the top three elements - Metal, Water and Fire - in
your PBC, you have no cause for worry about terrorism. However, if you
have lots of Earth (weakest element in 2017) in your PBC, better stay at
home to be safe. I am sure he's just joking! Haha.

Water in the Chart represents wisdom. Since Water is the second

strongest element in 2017, there will be more people moving into
education and academic fields.

Economic Outlook for Malaysia

To predict the economic outlook for Malaysia, Joey Yap compares the
Fire Rooster Bazi Chart of 1957 (the year Malaysia achieved
independence) with the 2017 Bazi Chart.

The result? Entertainment line will be good. Starting a new business in

the entertainment field may be a good idea.

There will be challenges in the financial industry due to regulatory

issues.

2017 will be a great year for IT (Information Technology), so those in the

IT line will find it rewarding. This also means that doing an online
business may prove to be rewarding in 2017.
Calamities in Malaysia
Most likely calamity to befall Malaysia in 2017 is the haze. Looks like this
problem will never be solved, will it? Other calamities include flood,
typhoon, health epidemics, tsunami, explosions and terrorism. Joey Yap
however stressed that tsunami is very unlikely to happen.

Five Ways To Succeed In Life

During the seminar, Joey Yap also shared about 5 ways to succeed in
life. The 5 ways are Luck, Choices, Strategy, Environment and Skills.

It is indeed very rare to have good luck in everything. But even if you
have good luck, that is not enough. You need to also make the right
choices in life. The purpose of studying Chinese Metaphysics or
getting a Bazi Reading is so that you know what your choices
are. When you know your choices, you then make better
decisions. The right decision can make a whole world of difference to
whether you succeed or fail in life.

According to Joey Yap, luck is a form of qi (energy). To have good luck,

you need to have high energy. High energy simply means you see
positiveness, and see the good in everything. When you vibrate in the
positive energy, you will also attract people with positive energy.

Luck is however only one of the five ways. Other game changers are
making the right choices, having a strategy, changing your environment
and learning a skill.

Health Forecast For 2017

According to Joey Yap, the year 2017 is a very unique year for health.
Rooster (especially Fire Rooster) when combined with Fire element in
the 2017 Bazi Chart represents medicine. There is a good chance
of medical breakthrough happening in 2017. Perhaps a cure for a
currently uncured illness will be found.
It is also a good year to do a medical check-up especially if you already
having health problems.

Metal represents respiratory and breathing, so there will be more

cases of respiratory problems in 2017.

Ding Fire represents the heart, so there will be more cases

of cardiovascular diseases.

Rooster and Rabbit clash in the chart

indicates gynaecology and childbirth issues. An example is cyst in the
ovaries.

Wood represents joints and bones, so there may be health problems

related to these in 2017.

All these also means that doctors, healers and those in the medical field
would probably have a financially rewarding year especially if they are
dealing with the health issues related to respiratory, cardiovascular,
gynaecology and bones.

What To Focus On In 2017

Take a look at your PBC. Notice the chart is divided into four pillars - the
Year, Month, Day and Hour pillars. Now that you know what are the
positive elements for 2017 (which are Metal, Water and Fire), see where
they are located in your PBC.

If they are located in your Year and Month pillars, focus on

your career and social life.
If they are located in your Day and Hour pillars, focus on
your home, family and relationships.

In A Nutshell
1. Game changing technology for IT. A good industry to be in. Starting
an online business is highly recommended.

2. Medical breakthrough. Good year to do medical check-up.

3. Revolution. Change of leaderships. Citizens unite against leaders or

people who set the rules.

4. Bumpy, choppy year. Metal chop wood. Won't be a smooth sailing

year.

5. Problematic. Earth element weak, therefore resources are low. People

don't see solution. If you see the solution, you win in 2017.

6. Employment will decrease. People losing jobs. But this also means
easier to hire people and hire talents - an advantage for those starting a
business.

7. Luck is only one of the 5 ways to succeed in 2017 and beyond. There
are 4 more things (if you are willing to work at it) - choices, strategy,
environment and skills - to make 2017 a great year for you!

Conclusions
If majority of the elements in your PBC are good (ie. Metal, Water and
Fire), go forward and do something out of the ordinary this year. If you
don't, you are wasting your good luck. Remember if you do exactly the
same as what you did last year, nothing will happen.

If majority of the elements in your PBC are not good (ie. having 2 - 4
Earth elements), lay low and consolidate. Do not start a new venture or
take risks.

If you have half good and half bad elements in your PBC, try and
combine with a partner who have the good elements in his or her PBC.
In Part 2, I will be sharing about the 12 animal signs and the stars that
come with each this year so that when you have these animals in your
PBC, (note that you have one animal sign in each of your four pillars in
the Bazi Chart) you will then know what to expect for 2017 and how to
make full use of what you know. Stay tuned!

Feng Shui 2017 According To Joey Yap (Part 2)

Continued from Part 1

If you have read Part 1, you would have most likely downloaded
your Personal Bazi Chart (PBC). If not, please download your
PBC HERE before continue reading.

Now if you look at your PBC, you can see that there are four animal
signs - one on each of the four pillars.

You will also notice that there is a fifth animal sign in the 10-Year Luck
Pillar. (This 10-Year Luck Pillar is located right below the 4 Pillars of
Destiny). The current 10-year pillar is also shaded for easy reference.

Refer to the diagram below. This is an example of a Bazi Chart

downloaded from Joey Yap's site. I have circled all 5 animal signs in red.
In the above example, this person is born in the year of Ox, month of
Rooster, day of Dog and hour of Goat. He is born in 1985, which means
he is currently 32 years old and therefore he is residing in the Year Pillar
between age 24 and 34. As you can see, the animal sign in that pillar is
Horse.

Now look at your own PBC. Can you locate all your five animal signs?

As you already know, the Bazi Chart is divided into 4 pillars - the Year,
the Month, the Day and the Hour.

The Year pillar represents your job, career, friends and social
network.
The Month pillar represents your work performance and business
opportunities.
The Day pillar represents relationships and your spouse. (If not
married, the Day pillar represents you).
The Hour pillar represents your children,
your ambitions, goals, dreams and also investment opportunities.

If the animal sign in your Year Pillar is favourable in 2017, this means
you can move forward in your career. Or you can probably build lots of
followers in Facebook for example, since the Year Pillar is also related to
social network.

If the animal sign in your Month Pillar is favourable in 2017, this means
you can go to next level in your job. It also means that it is a good year
to start a business.

The same goes with the Day and Hour pillars - in short, you have to see
which animal is in your chart and where they are located so that you can
then relate to the different aspects of your life.

As for the animal sign in the 10-Year Luck Pillar, this represents
whatever good or bad luck will come to you. Just be aware and accept
them when they come.

Every year, different stars reside in each of the 12 animal signs. Some of
the stars are good stars (auspicious) and others not so good
(inauspicious).

Below is a shot I took during the seminar (Sorry not very clear). It
features the 2017 Animal Sign Forecast.
All Chinese astrologers worldwide use this chart, which is also found in
the Chinese Tong Shu.

All the good stars are in red, while the not so good stars are in black.
From the chart, you can see that the Rooster has the most red, so we
can generally conclude that the Rooster is the best animal sign for 2017.

If you have a Rooster in your PBC, rejoice! However, to know which

aspect of your life it is related to, you need to see whether the Rooster is
in your Year, Month, Day or Hour pillar.

The Monkey and the Snake have zero good stars unfortunately, but
Joey Yap said this does not mean people with these two animal signs
are guaranteed a bad year. No good stars means no external help, so
you simply have to depend on yourself.

According to Joey Yap, the Top 5 Animal Signs for 2017 are
the Dragon, the Horse, the Rooster, the Rat and the Tiger. Do you
have any of these animals in your PBC? If you have all five, this is an
excellent year for you!
However, according to Joey Yap, even if you have only one of two of
these animal signs, you cannot complain that 2017 is a bad year for you
as there are opportunities as long as you make the right choices, have a
good strategy, or able to change your environment. He said that many
people have good luck, it's just that they do not make use of it.

Now let's look at some of the stars in various categories and the animal
signs they reside in for the year 2017.

Wealth Stars
Found in Tiger, Rat, Horse and Rooster.

1. National Treasure (Tiger) - This star represents an increase in status

and salary. If you have this in your chart especially in the Month or Year,
your opportunity to increase in ranking, in position and power is there.
But you need to take action to make it happen.

2. Moon (Rat) - The moon represents the power or ability or business

acumen to think about new business strategy. It also represents
mastermind of money and money management. Good for budding
entrepreneurs and start ups. Unfortunately, the Moon is not a very
aggressive star - people with this star usually think a lot about making
money but seldom take action. So make sure to take action if you have
Rat in your chart!

3. Treasure (Horse) - In ancient days, the emperor rewards certain

general or officer who did a good job for the year in the form of a
'treasure'. Therefore this Treasure star is suited for people who are
working for commission, prize money, or sales based on commission.

4. Jade Hall (Rooster) - This star represents increase in assets, value,

income and wealth. Also the ability to save money.

Hint : If you have these animal signs in your chart, make sure you take
action. Otherwise, nothing will happen as wealth do not fall onto your
lap!

Relationships
Found in Rat and Horse.

1. Sky Happiness (Rat) - This star represents relationships. If you are

single, someone will appear. If you are married, your marriage will be
happier. If the Rat appears in the Year pillar, you will be attending lots of
weddings. If it appears in the Month pillar, and you are a professional
homemaker, you will be contributing happiness to your home and
marriage. If it appears in your Day pillar, you suddenly appear very
attractive to others this year (lol). If it appears in your Hour pillar, you will
receive lots of interesting investment opportunities.

Note that having a Rat in your Chart is especially good because you
have the Moon and Sky Happiness stars, which means you will have
both money and good relationships!

2. Red Matchmaker (Horse) - This star also represents auspicious

relationship. If you have this star and you are single, you won't be single
for long. Your likeability increase and you attract people in your life. Note
that when you are likeable, it also means good for doing business.

3. Salty Pool (Horse) - This is not so auspicious as it attracts unwanted

relationships. Short of saying you will become more horny (oops I said
it!) you need to be careful and more aware of this star if you are married!

Status, Power and Recognition

Found in Dragon and Rooster

1. Emperor Star (Dragon) - Every year, this star only occupies one of
the 12 animal signs. In 2017, it is in the Dragon. An Emperor is always
right so with this star, it means you are always right! You will have the
ability to raise funds, start a business, and get a license for your product.
If the Dragon is in your Year pillar, you can change the environment by
changing job, career or business location. If it is in your Month pillar, you
can take the next level up in your work and career. If the Dragon is in the
Day pillar, you might have a strained marriage, because now your
spouse is always right! (lol). If it is in the Hour pillar, all your ambitions
and dreams will come true!

2. General Star (Rooster) - Represents power, status and authority.

With this star, you are in charge! If you own a business, make sure you
make all the important business decisions! If not in business, make sure
you take a higher ranking in your career.

3. The Duke's Arrival (Rooster) - This year, the General star comes
with the Duke's Arrival. With this star, you will get lots of attention and
become popular. Of course, if you are not one who enjoy the limelight,
this star will do you no good!

Helpful People
Found in Pig, Horse, Dragon and Dog

1. Heavenly Yi (Pig) - This star brings good mentor into your life. With
this star, try to network more with people of higher ranking.

2. Fortune Virtue (Horse) - This is a prosperity star. You get to enjoy

life, have lots of good food and basically gets fat! If the Horse is in your
Day pillar, and you are single, it means you will get fat. If you are
married, then your spouse is the one who will get fat. Lol.

3. Dragon Virtue (Dragon) - One of the best nobleman stars. You have
the ability to resolve challenges and problems.

4. Sun (Dog) - The most powerful nobleman star. You become the
helpful person to others. A lot of people will come to you to help solve
their problems. Only good if you enjoy helping others! But remember,
whoever you help this year, you might get their help in return in future,
so it's worth helping.

If the Dog is in your Year pillar, a lot of friends will come to you for help.
If it is in your Month pillar, you will be helping colleagues at work. If it's in
your Day pillar, your spouse will be spending a lot of time helping others,
so try to understand (lol). If it's in your Hour pillar, you help others
become rich in investment opportunities. So if you are a Fund Manager
and you have this star, this is definitely a good year for you!

Solving Problems
Found in Dragon and Ox

1. Dragon Virtue (Dragon) - This star is already mentioned above. Note

that since this is a problem solving star, it means that you will have lots
of problems in 2017 for you to solve. If you don't solve or you feel it's a
hassle, you will suffer the consequences. So make sure you solve the
problems especially since the Dragon also has the Emperor Star which
means you have the ability to solve them!

2. Relief God (Ox) - This star is especially good for solving health
problems. Use this opportunity to go for health check up and get the
right treatment. This star is also good for getting rid of debt issues, and
solving disputes and arguments.

Property Luck
Only found in Pig

Earth Relief (Pig) - Good for moving house, renovation and buying new
property. With this star, it will be easier for you to look for a house. Note
that if you do not have a Pig in your chart, and you want to buy new
property or move house, get help from people who have Pig in their
charts!
Fame
Found in Ox and Goat

1. Three Stages (Ox) - This represents increase in ranking one step at a

time. Best for step by step career progression or climbing the corporate
ladder.

2. Eight Seats (Goat) - This star helps you become famous or popular
overnight. If the Goat is in the Year pillar, you might find that you
suddenly have lots of friends on Facebook this year. If it is n your Hour
pillar, your goals and dreams will receive lots of attention. A great star to
have if you are into marketing and business.

Academic
Found in Ox and Rooster

1. Elegant Seed (Ox) - good for artists, and those in artistic and creative
fields. The downside is you might be weird or eccentric.

2. Intelligent Star (Rooster) - If you have this star, make sure you study
new skills, new subjects or acquire knowledge this year. It will be easier
to learn new things which may prove beneficial to you in future.

Social Capital
The new trend of the young and rich is to get rich in their 20's. This
method of getting rich depends a lot on networking and connections
online, hence the name social capital.
Found in Snake, Pig and Dragon

1. Three Harmony (Snake) - This is a Snake and Rooster combination.

Find people with good stars to help you.

2. Sky Horse (Pig) - good for out of country investments, exports and
doing overseas business. With this star, you have the ability to market
products overseas so you can either travel out of the country to do
business or sell products to overseas customers online.

3. Grand Duke Combination (Dragon) - With this Dragon and Rooster

combination, you are able to connect with the right people or people with
power and authority.

Forgetfulness
Found in Monkey and Dog

1. Death God (Monkey) - This star represents forgetfulness and absent

mindedness. This means if you have the Monkey in your chart, you tend
to be very forgetful in 2017.

2. Sky Emptiness (Dog) - This star makes you talk a lot, but nothing
happens. Or you have big ideas but they suddenly disappear. If you
have this star, better not plan for the whole year (because your plans will
likely not happen). Instead plan small every month.

Emotional
Found in Goat, Rooster and Ox

1. Lonesome (Goat) - Best described as lonely at the top. You might be

rich and popular, but somehow you feel lonely.

2. Sky Cry (Rooster) - feeling very sentimental

3. Instability (Ox) - feeling very emotional

4. Five Ghost (Ox) - feeling suspicious of others, or feeling

uncomfortable in an empty hotel room
Conflicts
Found in Rooster, Horse, and Dog

1. Triple Punishment (Rooster) - feeling down and not appreciated

2. Hidden Corpse (Rooster) - offending others by talking about

sensitive issues

3. Curled Tongue (Horse) - like to debate or argue with people

4. Six Horns (Dog) - Offending other people. This usually happens

when you are trying to help solve people's problems (since you have the
Sun star) but ending up offending others.

Petty People
Found in Snake, Dog and Goat

1. Back Poking (Snake) - People talk bad about you behind your back

2. Yin Sha (Dog) - Offending females. If you are a guy, most likely your
ex-girlfriend gives you problems, or you have extra marital issues, or
your current relationship becomes hostile.
If you are a girl, your female friend backstabs you.

3. Leopard Tail (Goat) - Offending people, by accidentally stepping on

their tail. Since you are popular (because of the Eight Seeds star), most
likely you attract jealousy.

Spending Money
Found in Tiger and Rabbit

1. Lesser Consumer (Tiger) - Spend a lot on luxury items, vacations

etc. Since Tigers have National Treasure star, they make lots of money
but end up spending most of the money this way. A good remedy is to
buy more assets. So even if you are destined to spend lots of money in
2017, at least you will be spending money on something that can
increase in value.

On a side note, if you are a salesperson looking to increase your sales,

why not search for potential customers with Tiger in their Bazi chart? :)

2. Greater Consumer (Rabbit) - Every year, the animal sign that

clashes with the Tai Sui (Grand Duke) has this star. In 2017, it's the
Rabbit who will have this unfortunate star. It indicates big expenditure
and changes in financial standing. Those with Rabbit in their chart will
find that somehow there will be circumstances that will force them to lose
money.

Note that because Rabbit clashes with the Grand Duke this year, it
indicates major changes. If the Rabbit is in your Year pillar, you will
have a change of friends or work environment. If it's in your Month pillar,
you will experience a change in job, structure of the company where you
work at, or even a change of boss. If the Rabbit is in your Day pillar, this
indicates a change in relationship. It could be a good thing if you are
single as you will be tying the knot. If you are married however, it could
mean you or your spouse traveling far and apart from each other, or may
even indicate a divorce. If the Rabbit is in your Hour pillar, this indicates
a change in your investment, usually means losing your investment.

Arguments and Disputes

Found in Monkey and Rabbit

1. Heavenly Officer Charm (Monkey) - indicated arguing with people

and challenges in judicial and legal issues.

2. Prison Inmates (Rabbit) - This is related to fines and traffic tickets

Health
Found in Monkey, Ox and Rooster

1. Sickness Charm (Monkey) - Health issues especially intestinal

2. Blood Knife (Ox) - indicates blockages, cysts, or small injuries. May

need to be removed via surgery.

3. Sword Edge (Rooster) - minor cuts, small bleeding.

Feeling overwhelmed and confused with all the information about the
stars and the animal signs? Perhaps it will be easier if you just focus on
the 5 animals signs that you find in your PBC (4 animals in your Bazi
four pillars and 1 animal in your 10-Year Luck Pillar). Instead of reading
through all the good and bad stars mentioned above, just watch short
videos of each of the 5 animal signs you have in your PBC.

These videos are prepared and hosted by Joey Yap himself. There are
12 videos overall, each video focusing on one of the 12 animal signs. In
each video, Joey explains about the good and bad stars found in the
animal sign for 2017. WATCH THE VIDEOS HERE.

Now, although these videos are helpful and what you have read in this
blog post are informative, do understand that what was taught at the
seminar are still general information. To have an accurate forecast, you
need to have your entire Bazi Chart analysed, and not just by looking at
the animal signs. If you are interested in a professional Bazi reading with
reasonable fee, do email me at mvfblog@gmail.com for full details.

25 March 2017, 11.30am (Clash : Snake)
7 April 2017, 3.30pm (Clash : Horse)

Note: Clash means if you have that animal sign in your Bazi Chart, then
that particular date is not beneficial for you. For example, if you have
Snake in your Bazi Chart, then do not activate the Moon on the 25
March. Choose 7 April instead.

How To Activate?
You can do minor renovation and refurbishment. Or you can nail a
picture on the wall, move the furniture around or plant a tree.

Alternatively, you can use water to activate. The water container should
be large enough (2 feet deep), not covered, and should be removed
after 2-3 weeks. The water must be still, non moving water.
And here are the dates to activate for wealth, health, relationships and
more. The way to activate is the same as above.

WEALTH ACTIVATION

1. 12 January 2017, 1.30pm - South West (Clash : Snake)

2. 22 March 2017, 6.30am - South East (Clash : Tiger)

3. 28 April 2017, 3.30pm - North East (Clash : Rabbit)

Note: Clash means if you have that animal sign in your Bazi Chart, then
that particular date is not beneficial to you. For example, if you have
Snake in your Bazi Chart, then the first date (12 January 2017) is not
suitable for you. Choose another date instead. You can choose just one
date to activate or you can activate on all 3 dates as long as none of the
animal sign clashes with you.

HEALTH ACTIVATION

1. 12 February 2017, 1.30pm - North (Clash : Rat)

2 dates to choose from ...

1. 1 June 2017, 9.30am - North East ( Clash : Ox)

whom you want to win the argument with should sit in the South West.

2. 17 July 2017, 11.30am - South East (Clash : Pig)

Sit with back to South East and facing North West. The other person
should be sitting opposite in the North West. (Joey Yap said the location
of that person is at Death Door according to the Qi Men Dun Jia chart,
so he is very likely to lose the argument).

Or sit with back towards South East and the other person sit opposite
you so that you are both facing each other. Note that this cannot be

person.

luck and reboot. You will be using the Death Door but with positive stars
in the QMDJ chart.

26 June 2017, 7.30pm - South West (Clash : Tiger)

RECEIVING GOD OF WEALTH

Since Chinese New Year will be arriving in less than 24 hours from now,
you might want to know when is the best time to receive the God Of
Wealth. According to Joey Yap, the God of Wealth is simply a star that
you can activate for wealth and for making your wishes come true.
You can activate or welcome God of Wealth in these three directions...

Wealth Star - South East

God of Nobility - South West
Happiness Star - North West

Time to activate : Between 11pm on 27 January 2017 and 1am on 28

January 2017 (best is at midnight)

How to activate : Just face the direction and make a wish.

You can choose to activate any one of the three or all three.

BEST DAYS TO COMMENCE WORK

And lastly, for those who would like to know when is the best day to
commence work after the Chinese New Year holidays, here are the list
of good dates. However, Joey Yap mentioned these dates for
commencement of work are not really that important, and would
probably just contribute about 10 percent good luck.
31 January 2017, 8.30am (Clash : Rat) - second best day
4 February 2017, 9.30am (Clash : Dragon) - this is the best day
8 February 2017, 9.30am (Clash : Monkey)
10 February 2017, 9.30am (Clash : Dog)

In Part 4, I will share about the Flying Stars Chart for 2017 and a little bit
of the Assistants and Helpers for each of the 12 Animal signs in 2017.

This is the final part of my Feng Shui 2017 According to Joey

Yap series.

If you have missed my earlier posts, you can click the links below to read
them.

Part 1 : The Outlook for 2017

Part 2 : Animal Signs In Your Bazi Chart

Part 3 : 2017 Afflictions And Activation Dates

Some people say that if you believe in yourself and you are positive
minded, you don't need feng shui. Well, is this true?

According to Joey Yap, it is true only IF you have the discipline and the
burning desire to succeed. Most of us do not have both discipline and
burning desire, so we need feng shui to help us out.

In this final instalment, I will share about Flying Stars Feng Shui. This is
the Flying Star Chart for 2017, Year of the Fire Rooster.

How do you use this chart? First, stand in the middle of your house and
using a compass, determine all the nine sectors in your house. You can
also superimpose this chart onto your house floor plan.

The good sectors are the sectors with numbers 9, 8, 4 and 6. This
means for the year 2017, the good sectors are South East, East, North
East and North respectively. Note that the numbers "fly" to a different
location or sector every year and for this reason, a good sector does not
remain good forever. Similarly, a bad sector does not stay bad forever.
As such, you need to update your feng shui every year.
So how do you benefit from the good sectors? According to Joey Yap,
feng shui is akin to free wifi in the environment. To benefit, you have to
be in the area where you have greater wifi signal. In other words, to tap
the qi from the good sectors, you have to use those sectors more
often. You can do your work or sleep in those areas or simply spend
more time there.

Let's go into a bit more detail on each of the good sectors.

The number 9 in the South East represents investments and

promotion. This is good for those who wish to leverage and compound
their wealth.

But if you do not have wealth yet, it is more important to focus

on academic (number 4, North East). You need to learn new skills and
convert that to wealth. If you want to rise in rankings in your job, the only
way is to learn new skills and therefore activating your academic luck is
very important.

However, if you think it's office politics that is preventing you from
climbing the corporate ladder, then activate North (number 6). This will
give you more power and authority to fight petty people and to get
things done. Spending more time in this sector also helps for people who
are starting a business.

If you have cash-flow problem and money is tight, spend more time in
the East (number 8).

According to Joey Yap, you do not need to place any objects or feng
shui items to activate any of good sectors. All you need to do is spend
time in the good sectors. However, if for some reason or other you are
unable to do so, you can also activate using water placement.

The worst sector in 2017 is the South as the Five Yellow is here.
The Five Yellow is the most dreaded affliction in feng shui. Joey Yap
described it like this...
If you have a great personal Bazi chart, and you have all the good
elements or stars in 2017, but you sleep or work in the South, then most
of the good things you are supposed to enjoy in 2017 will be neutralized.

If you have a bad personal Bazi chart, and you have mostly bad
elements (eg Monkey in all your four pillars) and you sleep in the South,
then you are sure to have a very bad year.

How does the Five Yellow affects you? It depends on your Bazi chart.
For example, if you are born in the month of Snake, and you sleep in the
South, then your career will be affected. This is because the month pillar
in the Bazi chart represents career.

Know that just because you have a Snake in your month pillar does not
necessarily mean you will suffer a career problem in 2017. But if it is
coupled with a bad environment, for example, you sleep in the South
where the Five Yellow is, then you will suffer a setback in your career.

So if your bedroom is in the South, then just by looking at your Bazi, you
will be able to predict what problems you will suffer from this year. Is it a
career, health or relationship problem? Let's say you have Monkey in
your chart, then you can be quite sure that your health will be affected
this year.

How to mitigate this problem? Moving out of the bedroom is the best
option. If not able to, then Joey Yap suggested that first, very
importantly, do not renovate the South as this will aggravate the Five
Yellow. Secondly, activate all the good sectors so that overall, you will
have positives overcoming the negatives. Thirdly, place a heavy metal
object to lessen the effects of the Five Yellow.

North West is where the Illness star (number 2) resides in 2017. If you
sleep in the North West and you have the top 3 illness signs in your Bazi
Chart (ie. Monkey, Ox and Rooster), then you really have to be prepared
for major health problems this year.
West is where the Argument star (number 3) flies into this year. If you
hate arguments, don't stay in this sector. But if you like new ideas and
don't mind being challenged, then the West is probably a good place for
you.

If your relationship with your spouse is already bad, and you both sleep
in the West, then expect the relationship to get worse. If however your
relationship with your other half is good, then you may experience some
arguments this year.

The South West sector (number 7) is good for sales, branding, and
addiction. If you want customers to be addicted to you or your brand,
then this is a good sector to create that addiction. The downside is, you
might also get addicted to drinking and smoking using this sector. So
whether good or bad really depends on you.

Next, I would like to share about the 12 Animal Signs Assistants and
Helpers in 2017.
Sorry if this chart is not clear. Please magnify it to see clearer.

What is this chart all about? This is about getting people to help you
solve your problems. In Joey Yap's own words - "this chart will save your
ass but involve sacrificing your friends".

How does it work? Let's say you have Snake in your month pillar. This
means your career is having problem. Imagine this scenario. One
day, your boss calls you into his office. You know you are in deep shit
and may probably get fired. Before you see your boss, you check out the
chart and you notice that the Snake has helpers in Ox, Dragon and
Monkey. As you go in, you ask a friend who is an Ox or Dragon or
Monkey to follow you. For some reason during the meeting with your
boss, your friend gets all the blame. He is fired, but you are safe!

Another example. Let's say you have Monkey in your chart (this
indicates relationship problem with your spouse). Checking the chart,
you notice Monkey has helpers in Dog, Ox and Horse. You get a friend
who is an Ox to help you talk to your spouse. Somehow your friend gets
blamed. He no longer wants to be friends with you, but your relationship
with your spouse is safe!

As you can see, this chart is very useful to save yourself but it also
means sacrificing your friends. Would you do it? That is entirely up to
you. I am just simply sharing what Joey Yap taught in his seminar. LOL.
