subject: Chinese Astrology and Feng Shui 2010 – Year of the Grand Duke Tiger [print this page] Author: Alvin Yap Author: Alvin Yap
In Chinese astrology, there are 12 zodiac signs which are represented symbolically by 12 animal signs. These animal signs take their turn to govern a given year based on the Chinese solar calendar or Sixty Jia Zi system. Each animal sign has typical characteristic associated with the year of birth based on the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Each year, one of the elements and animal signs will rule the year. The animal sign that rules the year is also given the peculiar name of Grand Duke Jupiter which is associated with the celestial bodies. In 2010, it is ruled by the Grand Duke Tiger and the ruling element is Metal. When you combine the Tiger and the Metal, it becomes the year of the Metal Tiger.

Every year, the Grand Duke Jupiter will move into a different sector in the house and the palace it occupies will be afflicted with negative energies for the whole year. In the year of the Metal Tiger (2010), the Grand Duke Jupiter flies into the Northeast 3 sector of a house and its compass direction is 52.6 67.5 degree. If you were born in the year of the Tiger, you are said to be offending the Grand Duke Jupiter of the year. What it means is that the energy in you or qi (the energy you were infused with at time of birth based on Chinese Astrology) is tuned in the same direction with the energy of the year and such an alignment of energy creates negative outcomes for the person. You may be faced with many setbacks and obstacles in the year relating to career, wealth, health and relationship. In order to avoid such bad luck, all residents in the property should not sit or sleep facing Northeast 3 direction, especially the resident with the animal sign of Tiger. If you were born in the year of the Monkey, you are said to be clashing with the Grand Duke Jupiter of the year. In other words, your energy or qi is tuned in the opposite direction against the energy of the year because the Monkey manifests itself as the Year Breaker and it occupies the southwest 3 sector which has a compass direction of 232.6 247.5 degree. This will also have negative effects on you and the year ahead is likely to be stressful and problematic. The other animal sign that has a harmful interaction with the Grand Duke Jupiter of the year is the Snake. It tends to manifest in anxiety and lingering issues that unsettles the mind. On the contrary, the Grand Duke Jupiter of the year can also bring positive outcome for residents who were born in the year of the Horse and Dog. To put it in an astrological perspective, the energy of the year combines with your energy or qi. It means that there is certain compatibility or affinity in the relationship between the Tiger, the Horse and the Dog. If your zodiac sign belonged to the Horse or the Dog, the year ahead is generally auspicious when it comes to people, career, money and well being. Based on Chinese metaphysics or Feng Shui, a house is divided into nine grids within which there are eight palaces or directions - the center, four primary palaces/directions and four secondary palaces/directions. The four primary palaces/directions are North, South, East and West whereas the four secondary palaces/directions are NW, SE, NE and SW. The center of the house is not included in the compass directions. In 2010, the inauspicious energies known as Five Yellow, Three Killings and Year Breaker occupy the Southwest, North and Southwest 3 respectively. Five Yellow brings illnesses, misfortune and obstacles. Three Killing comprises the triple combo of negative energies which are associated with disaster, robbery (financial losses) and accidents. The Year Breaker is the animal sign which is opposite in direction to the Grand Duke Jupiter. These 3 negative energies afflict the resident who resides in the sectors concerned. These afflictions may manifest in unlucky outcomes for the resident such as calamities, misfortune and illnesses. In order to avoid the ill effects of such afflictions, the resident should keep the place undisturbed and there should not be any knocking of the wall, digging of the ground or activities that create noises and vibrations. A person will need to undertake an actual analysis of his or her natal chart in order to unravel what destiny really has in store for him or her, not only for this year but the years ahead.
