Annual Prediction Explanation
All master practitioners emphasize that first and foremost a home or office must have good feng shui. Though placing Annual Cures will bring some short-term results, there will be little long term benefits if the home or office is a feng shui disaster. You should also be aware that Annual Cures will not effect every- one the same.
The Lunar Calendar is used for ceremonial purposes and it what we are use celebrating each year.
This calendar begins on the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice, which this year falls on February 8. And then there is the Solar Calendar.
It is the Solar Calendar which is used in Xuan Kong (Time-Space) Feng Shui, especially when using the Flying Star (Fe Xing) method, that determines the important feng shui adjustments that are needed as the earth’s magnetic field shifts at the beginning of each Spring.
The Chinese Solar New Year begins in the Orient on Feb. 3 or 4. It is this day that is considered the beginning of Spring, as it is about mid-point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.

Below is the Map for the Annual Stars for 2016
Five-Element Theory – Wu Xing
• The Five Elements are not ‘things’ as much as processes, e.g. Wood is the process of growth – too much Wood Element, may be a business that has problems as a result of ‘growing to fast’. • Realize the numbers in the Lo Shu (to the right) are essentially a code for the Five Elements and their attributes such as: compass direction, body parts, per-
NOTE: As feng shui was developed by the Chinese over thousands of year, many of the solutions have Asian themes. However, you may substitute other items that you feel will achieve the same results.
Installing Cures
Items used in previous years can be reused each year by doing the following: Cleansing the items in the sunlight for at least 4 hours or by placing them in the moonlight. Once items are cleansed, they should be put in their new positions by Feb. 4. Some people put their cures into place before Feb. 4, but anytime during the year is better than not at all. Once cures are in place, it is said that it takes about a month for them to absorb any negative energy being generated by the negative numbers and to enjoy the benefits of the enhancements put into place to enhance the positive numbers.
But whatever you do, don’t worry if your bed, front door, or office are located in those areas considered “afflicted” this year. By placing your feng shui cures and enhancements in the right Sectors, you will bring balance to your home or office, so you can continue to enjoy good health, great prosperity, and relationship harmony.
However, if after placing the Annual Cures you begin to experience difficulties regarding finances, health, relationships, or any other area of life, remove, readjust, or add additional cures according to the suggested placement, and then observe again. Flying Star cures for the house, are done once. Annual Cures are for short-term results and might need adjusting.
Note: Consulting with a professional feng shui practitioner may be beneficial to evaluate the outside Landforms and the inside position of all the rooms.
K’un – 2 Black Earth in Center “Star of Illness”

The #2 makes this an area of potential illness (especially stomach ailments), and misfortune in 2016. So take extra care to neutralize the #2’s potentially malicious influence.
As with 5 Yellow mentioned next, it is best if you do not have to use this area of the home. If you do have to use this area, be sure to use the cures listed below to neutralize their negative influences. If you are lucky to have a bathroom, utility room, or lesser used room in the Center no cure is needed.
Wu Wang – 5 Yellow Earth in NE “Star of Misfortune”
With Annual Star 5 in the NE this year, 5 Yellow (Wu Wang), considered malicious, as it is not associated with a gender or trigram, is somewhat strengthened by Earth Element associated with the NE. If possible, do not use any room in the NE.

The following cures are recommended to protect prosperity, relationships and health: As ‘moving’ Metal reduces the negative effects of the 5 Yellow Earth.
