Feng shui in Year of the Fire Monkey!

By Jeanette Ipapo-Tuason February 09,2016

0210chicdrivenONCE AGAIN, I bring you feng shui good luck tips from my consultant, Master Aldric Dalumpines, who has been my feng shui guy since 2004. Following his tips coupled with prayers, hard work, a positive attitude and a strong belief in karma has given me a happy and prosperous life.

 

Although I am not Chinese, I follow the concept of feng shui because I believe there is a system that governs the energy in the universe.

 

As Einstein would say, energy is never destroyed, only transformed. But before we go into a philosophical and religious debate, let me share with you his tips for posterity.

 

2016 is the year of the Fire Monkey. This year threatens to burn, literally and figuratively, people’s homes, businesses, money, relationships, health and love life.

 

Technically, if it’s your sign’s year, luck is actually not on your side. However, those born on 1944, 1956, 1968 will have an overwhelmingly lucky year in the different facets of their lives.

 

Chicdrivers, the lucky color of the year is Marsala or brick red. The logic behind this, as Aldric pointed out, is because it is what usually contains the burning or fire (oven, etc).

 

The easiest way to wear it is on your lips. The shade is available in MAC as the Diva shade or Marsala Red from Maybelline. You should wear this for protection and safety on the road; this will also serve as your overall good luck charm.

 

If you are buying a car, opt for the same shade as red, or accentuate the interior via linings or trims.

 

You can also put Marsala stuffed toys or throw pillows if you are the type that needs a hug during traffic. To harmonize, you can add a touch of blue or black to even out the heat of the Fire Monkey.

 

Try to avoid the number 4 which means death in your car plate; if you have it, the best remedy is to put a Chinese calligraphy sticker of 168, or yeelufat, which according to Aldric means safety and prosperity all the way on the road to luck and success. You can put this on your bikes, planes, helicopter and boats as well.

 

For those born under the sign of the Tiger and Monkey, put a turtle figurine to avert challenges of 2016. This will avoid mishaps. When visiting the sick or dead (funerals or burials) always do car cleansing via a car wash before going home.
