LOOKING at the characteristics of the mythical dragon creature, one that is strong, dynamic and competitive, it would be understandable for many to assume a smooth-sailing and hopeful 2012.
However, feng shui masters have advised caution and the need for discernment as the Chinese community prepares their celebration to usher in the Year of the Dragon.
Tools of trade: Master Tham showing (left) a Thailand astrology disc and the Feng Shui pa kua board. Worldwide Truth feng shui Master Stanley Tham said that the economy would be stable this year.
On the general election, Tham said there would not be any social unrest.
However, he declined to say what the results would be and would only say that the country would see more cooperation by the end of the year.
“It does not matter who the government is, but calculations show that it will become better and more efficient,” he said.
Using Thailand astrology and the pa kua for his predictions, he advises those born in the Year of the Dog to be extra careful and carry amulets or charms with them when going out of their home to avoid any misfortune.
“This year does not bode too well for them, which is why I hope they will consult experienced feng shui masters to calculate their good days and avoid mishaps,” he said.
He also encouraged everyone to put up red, yellow or maroon colours in their houses and on their doors and windows to inject vitality into their surroundings as this year is the Year of the Water Dragon, thus lacking the fire element.
“The lack of the fire element means that we need to avoid white or black colours and there should be more sunlight at home to balance out the yin energy,” he added.
Tham said it would be prosperous to face the east direction this year, particularly for scholars, students and the business community, while the south-east direction is to be avoided as much as possible.
“That is the direction that is against the wrath of the Duke of Jupiter (Tai Sui) which will bring failure and disappointment to those who face it.
“On the other hand, if they turned around and looked towards the opposite direction, they would have strong support behind every thing that they did,” he advised.
