Relationship
For those in relationships, there is a high tendency that there will be a third party or the relationships may be hurt by rumours and gossip. It is important to be faithful, honest and maintain clear communication with your spouse or partner. If any misunderstandings arise, try to clear the air soon.

There is a high chance that you will meet that special someone.

DOG

General
There is both good and bad news for those born in the year of the Dog. The bad news is that there is much instability this year. Your plans may seem to be smooth sailing but will suddenly hit a rock. You tend to be accident-prone this year and may have cuts and bruises. There are also signs of surgery. The good news is that you are given a special waiver card this year to wave off your troubles. In another words, no matter what crisis, challenges or obstacles you face this year, it will turn out well. The only thing you must remember is to keep your cool in the face of trouble. The solution will come to you before you know it. If you have elders at home, do take note of their health and safety.

Career
This is an average year in terms of career. The only concern is that you always need to make contingency plans for whatever you are doing. The reason is that the challenges usually will strike fast and when least expected. Though the problems will resolve themselves, do keep your cool in the meantime so as not to aggravate it.

Wealth
This is an unstable year for wealth. Sometimes you may find that you are earning a lot, but you may also realize that you have spent more than you should. It is important to watch your expenses.

Relationship
If you are attached or married, your relationship is stable. If you are single, there is still a chance for you to meet someone especially in the early part of the year. If there are some suitable candidates, do consider seriously whether you will like it to develop into a relationship. Do not take too long to think because the opportunity will not wait for anyone.

Health
You are accident-prone this year. You tend to have cuts and there are signs of bleeding. There are also signs that you might go through surgery. Please be extra careful in terms of your safety, especially if you are handling sharp objects or operating heavy machinery.

PIG

General
For those who are born in the year of the Pig, though you have moved away from the unstable year of 2007, this year is not going to be easy for you too. Your health will be one of your top concerns this year. You are more prone to falling ill. It is more important to conserve your energy. Though you may have very outstanding performances in your career, you need to be very selective in who your allies are because there tends to be more power struggles this year. You will find that there are not many people who can help you. It is important to keep positive thoughts and surround yourself with positive people.

Career
On the career front, there are many power struggles. Office politics and unhealthy competition does not help matters. You need to be careful in who you choose to be your allies and also be careful of not getting involved in unnecessary matters. You will need to put your foot down where necessary. Do not let others push you into a corner. This is the time that you need to revise and implement your political skills. Focus your energy on doing your work well and you will find that you are able to produce excellent results. If you are in business, you will be able to stabilize your business this year. However, do not act aggressively. Go slow and steady and you will be able to achieve more in the long run.

Wealth
Money matters could be quite tight this year. Avoid investments.

Relationship
If you are in a relationship, you will have a loving year. You will get the support from your spouse or partner through these unstable days. If you are single, you will have a high chance of finding the love of your life this year.

Health
Not good. You will be more prone to fall ill because your immune system is especially low this year. Due to a lack of rest and spreading yourself too thin, you will increase your risk of being accident-prone. Please pay extra attention to your health in terms of having a healthy diet, keep your stress levels in check and do exercises regularly.

People
People could be quite nasty to you this year. You need to focus on what you want to accomplish and keep your eyes focused on your goals. Do not get distracted by gossip and power struggles. Remember to be calm and adopt your diplomatic skills.

Action
Place a Metal Pagoda in your wealth position. Carry a jade Pixiu. Place a Scepter near you.

2008 The year of Rat arriving on Feb 7th

2007 the year of the Pig was a very unstable one. Behind the smoke screen of a property craze in Singapore, the year was filled with political unrest in many countries, market turmoil, terror attacks, natural calamities and illnesses. Good news for all! Though in the early months of the 2008 Chinese year, the after- effects of 2007 will still linger around with us, 2008 the year of Rat is going to be an easier year for most of us in general. It will be filled with greater vibrancy and energy. It is time for you to stand up, to do some stretches and read on…

Movement is the word that governs this year. What does that mean? There will be more travelling for us. It could be either for business or vacation. Our hearts will be screaming for the latter. Many people will be migrating, relocating or even moving actively about within a country.

If you are travelling, migrating or relocating to another country while enjoying the excitement, remember to be aware and sensitive to the local cultures and blend in with society without losing your individuality. This is highlighted because humans are territorial. When the locals feel that there is a sudden increase in foreigners, hostility will arise easily and inevitably. Any misbehaviour or insensitive gesture may spark off conflicts between the locals and the foreigners. Be street smart and be aware of your surroundings.

Another aspect of 2008 is that it is a great time for socializing, networking, building rapport and participating in team activities. If you are in sales, this is a golden period for you to increase your client base, build rapport with your existing clients, get new leads, clinch that new deal etc. In general, this is the time to get out there and be with others. Meet new people both through work and personally. This is the time for you to meet people who can inspire you, see the strengths in you, support you and even to finance or help you to achieve your dreams. During this period, it is more important than usual for you to be positive so that you can attract positive people into your life.

Industries that can catch on to this positive vibe are property, hospitality, tourism and entertainment. If you have business dealings within these areas, you should reap the best out of it. There will be ripple effects that will spread to other industries too.

Wish you all the best and good luck.

世界上沒有絕對幸福圓滿的婚姻,幸福只是來自於無限的容忍與互相尊重。」
一六0、如果你能夠平平安安的渡過一天,那就是一種福氣了。多少人在今天已經見不到明天的太陽,
多少人在今天已經成了殘廢,多少人在今天已經失去了自由,多少人在今天已經家破人亡。
一六一、是非和得失,要到最後的結果,才能評定。
一六二、你不必和因果爭吵,因果從來就不會誤人。你也不必和命運爭吵,命運它是最公平的審判官。
一六三、你有你的生命觀,我有我的生命觀,我不干涉你。只要我能,我就感化你。如果不能,那我就認命。
一六四、你希望掌握永恆,那你必須控制現在。
一六五、惡口永遠不要出自於我們的口中,不管他有多壞,有多惡。你愈罵他,你的心就被污染了,
你要想,他就是你的善知識。
一六六、當你明天開始生活的時候,有人跟你爭執,你就讓他贏,這個贏跟輸,都只是文字的觀念罷了。
當你讓對方贏,你並沒有損失什麼。所謂的贏,他有贏到什麼?得到什麼?所謂的輸,你又輸到什麼?失去什麼?
一六七、我們大部份的生命都浪費在文字語言的捉摸上。
一六八、你不要常常覺得自己很委曲,你應該要想,他對我這樣已經很好了,這就是修行的功夫。
一六九、別人可以違背因果,別人可以害我們,打我們,譭謗我們。可是我們不能因此而憎恨別人,為什麼?
我們一定要保有一顆完整的本性和一顆清淨的心。
一七0、與任何人接觸時,要常常問自己,我有什麼對他有用?使他得益。如果我不能以個人的道德、
學問和修持的力量,來使人受益,就等於欠了一份債。
一七一、出家是一生一世的事,修行是多生多劫的事。
一七二、信佛,學佛,不是為自己,乃是為一切苦海中的眾生。
一七三、佛不渡無緣的人,不能渡的人,我們就把他當做菩薩來看。
一七四、如果一個人沒有苦難的感受,就不容易對他人給予同情。你要學救苦救難的精神,就得先受苦受難。
一七五、一般人在遇到對方的權勢大,財富大,氣力大,在無可奈何的情形之下而忍,這算什麼忍耐呢?
真正的忍是,就算他欺負了你,對不住你,但他什麼都不及你,你有足夠的力量對付他,而你卻能容忍他,
認為他的本性和我一樣,只是一時糊塗,或在惡劣的環境中受到熏染罷了,你不必與他計較,
能在這樣的情況及心境之下容忍那才是真正的忍耐。
一七六、如果我們放眼從累生歷劫去看,那麼一切的眾生,誰不曾做過我的父母、兄弟姊妹、親戚眷屬?
誰不曾做過我的仇敵冤家?如果說有恩,個個與我有恩;如果說有冤,個個與我有冤。!
這樣子我們還有什麼恩怨親疏之別呢?再就智慧愚笨來說,人人有聰明的時候,也有愚癡的時候,
聰明的人可能變愚癡,愚癡的人也可能變聰明。最壞的人,也曾做過許多好事,而且不會永遠壞;
好人也曾做過許多壞事,將來也不一定會好。如此我們反覆思索,所謂的冤親、賢愚,這許多差別的概念,
自然就會漸漸淡了。這絕對不是混沌,也不是不知好壞,而是要將我們無始以來的偏私差別之見
以一視同仁的平等觀念罷了!
一七七、世界原本就不是屬於你,因此你用不著拋棄,要拋棄的是一切的執著。萬物皆為我所用,但非我所屬。
一七八、寧可自己去原諒別人,莫讓別人來原諒你。
一七九、當你用煩惱心來面對事物時,你會覺得一切都是業障,世界也會變得醜陋可恨。
一八0、欲為諸佛龍象,先做眾生馬牛。
一八一、雖然我們不能改變週遭的世界,我們就只好改變自己,用慈悲心和智慧心來面對這一切。
