To Buy or Not to Buy – That is the Question
Investment, business and property matters are some of the most frequently asked horary questions: Should I buy this property? Should I make this investment? Will this business bring me profit? In a business deal, it is important to see whether it will be traded at a good price, the condition of the property or the prospect of the business. In this lecture, we will identify the significators and explore the traditional aphorisms on judging such matters. We will also use modern cases as examples to see how to apply traditional rules to modern scenarios.
The Chinese Zodiac, Animal Signs and Jupiter Cycle
The Chinese animal signs are a totally different system from Western Astrology, even though each of the animal signs corresponds to a zodiac sign and they are related to the Jupiter cycle. The Chinese signs can also be grouped according to the five elements and their geometric positions. Chinese astrologers use the animal signs as the basis of yearly prediction, judging it as a lucky or challenging year for people of each sign. Different types of lucky charms and Feng Shui placements are suggested for each animal sign to improve fortune. In this lecture, we will explore the relationship between the two zodiacs, how the animal signs can be used for general forecast and the remedial measures for each sign by using lucky charms and proper Feng Shui placements.
