Feng shui (traditional Chinese: 風水; simplified Chinese: 风水; pinyin: fēng shuǐ; pronounced /ˈfəŋˌʃueɪ/ foong-shoy in Chinese Mandarin, "fheng-schway" in American English) is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to utilize the Laws of both heaven (astronomy) and Earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive Qi. The original designation for the discipline is Kan Yu (traditional Chinese: 堪輿; simplified Chinese: 堪舆; pinyin: kānyú; literally: Tao of heaven and earth).

The words feng shui literally translate as "wind-water" in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the following passage of the Zhangshu (Book of Burial) by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty:

Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.

Traditional Feng Shui practice always requires an extremely accurate Chinese compass, or Luo Pan, in order to determine the directions in finding any auspicious sector in a desired location.

Year of the Earth Ox 2009 - Through Feng Shui Astrology

THE SIGN OF THE OX

Born:

1925,1937,1949,1961,1973,1955,1997,2009

(remember if you birthdate is before February 4th in any year the use the prior birth year)

The strong Ox symbolizes prosperity through hard work. They are methodical, calm and dependable. They make tireless, patient workers that can stick to any routine. Laziness is not a option to this creature.

They respect tradition.

They are strong by nature and can persevere what ever life throws their way.

They make excellent parents as they symbolize parental love because of the tenderness and nurturing behaviour they bestow on their calves. They are deeply devoted to their children and families. They possess a quiet, uncomplaining strength. Their steady, reliable character excels in positions of authority and trust. He has a logical mind gifted with intelligence and dexterity.

Although they can be introverted, they have the ability to rise to the occasion and express themselves powerfully and convincingly, that commands respect and attention in any room. His eloquence in speech makes him credible and a patriotic leader. In times of trouble, his presence of mind, refusal to be

intimidated and innate self confidence take over . He is tenacious by nature and can survive incredible adversity. Their capacity to endure the greatest of hardships has kept entire nations and families together. They tend to triumph over life just because of their stubbornness to give in.

They are proud and walk with their shoulders back and head held high. They are at their best during the peaceful hours of the early morning. When the Ox rests he reassembles his great strength to forge ahead through any obstacle of the day ahead.

For 2009:

A Challenging year for career but a great time to decide what you want to specialize in and ensure you take the courses necessary in order to do so.

Be conservative this year with spending, health and love! Slow and steady can also win the race!
