Car romance in the Year of the Wooden Sheep

You probably heard of people bringing their feng shui masters to lots or houses before they buy them. I should know, I am one of them. Although I am not Chinese, I still think that there is no harm in practicing feng shui because at the end of the day, there is nothing to lose.

Good thing my feng shui consultant, Master Aldric Dalumpines, is not the over-the-top type who recommends to break that wall or change your husband because you don’t have a compatible sign.

He is more practical but nevertheless effective. He tells you the right time to pay for and transfer to the house, and of course where you need to position your stove, water elements, front door, etc.

As with any big-ticket purchases, which includes cars, we always consult for a second opinion, whether it’s in the  form of a friend, an expert, online forums or a magic 8 ball. We always need that push that makes our decision sound like a good one.

So if you plan to purchase a vehicle this year, below are some guiding principles to increase your luck and have good chi.

Master Aldric Dalumpines indicated your lucky color, and the items you should keep or remove from your vehicle to get the maximum luck in the year of the wooden sheep.

PS: If your car color is your unlucky color of the year, you can either opt for a new paint job or foil wrap it.

Car plates

If you have a chance to customize your car plate, choose the following numbers: 1288, for easy luck and prosperity 24/7; 1688, second luckiest, meaning double prosperity, luck all the way; and the third luckiest, 8888, meaning double prosperity from four cardinal directions. Avoid the No. 4 for death and No. 7 for conflict.

Your stuffed toy collection

Aside from your unlucky item according to your sign this year, also avoid putting dolls, photos or anything with a lion, tiger, panther, puma, cheetah, or cougar in your cars. Don’t put bagua, octagons, diamonds or triangle items on your car.

If you cannot remove these items, you can place a 168 Chinese character sticker anywhere convenient in your car.

Travels are memorable with the company you keep. So go ahead and buy your lucky car.

Now is the time to travel. Going on long drives can either be a pain or absolute enjoyment, depending on the harmony of the riders. So try to avoid traveling with people whose signs clash with yours.

If you are born in the Year of the Rat, don’t travel with anyone born in the Year of the Horse and vice versa. Ox cannot travel with Sheep, Tiger with Monkey, Rabbit with Rooster, Dragon with Dog, and Snake with Pig.

Hope this helps you in your car relationships. Kung Hei Fat Choy!
