ALWAYS AND FOREVER. Auspicious infinity cuffs in rose gold for him and her
It is a year of relationships and threats to relationships. Tread carefully. All photos by me.
MANILA, Philippines – The Year of the Earth Dog begins on February 16. People who use feng shui as a guide in making practical decisions are getting ready for this transition, beginning with welcoming spring (that symbolizes new beginnings, a new life) on February 3.
This can be done by: 1) cleaning up our homes before the said date since negative energy builds up in dust and clutter, and 2) placing symbols of spring throughout our space, like plants and flowers. The more colorful, the better. If you are a busybody whose schedule is almost always hectic, block off this date to stop and smell the flowers.
Love or romance is one aspect of life that feng shui believers consult it for. After all, there’s no degree that teaches us how to love, how not to fall in love, how to make rational decisions when in love, and how to balance head and heart when it comes to relationships. A detailed and practical guide won’t do any harm.
SYMBOL OF LOVE AND MARRIAGE. Peony bag holder for you to bring everywhere
Here is the romance luck outlook for all signs of the Chinese zodiac from feng shui master Marites Allen:
Rat (1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020)
“This Dog year will bring romantic opportunities for Rats. Strong chance of romantic encounters leading to serious relationships is imminent in 2018. To speed up chances of finding that right partner, activate the southwest corner of your bedroom with a pair of mandarin ducks, double happiness symbol, or install the image of your peach blossom animal — the Golden Rooster — in the West.”
———
Ox (1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021)
“Love and career will bring great news for Ox. Intimate relationships, love, and romance are sure to flourish with no worries about any interference that could hinder intimacy. It is an excellent time to meet a new partner. For Ox who are in a relationship, marriage luck is highly possible. For Ox who are married, getting pregnant can follow as well. Dragon and phoenix symbols are great enhancers for love in the southwest.”
———
Tiger (1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022)
“Single Tigers can expect exciting developments in the relationship department. This is a good time to open up and welcome possibilities. Carry on and keep trying, someone out there is waiting for you. Wear the popularity mantra shawl to attract suitors (this is also helpful for married Tigers having marital issues). Peach Blossom Green Rabbit in the east may wonderfully enhance your chances for love!”
———
Rabbit (1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023)
“Couples who have been together for long should be more patient with each other. Newly-dating couples should not read too much into each other’s words and actions. Loving energies can be activated if you use the peony shawl or hang your Peach Blossom Blue Rat in the north part of your bedroom. Double Happiness or Mandarin Ducks symbols are great for married couples too; display them in the southwest.”
———
Dragon (1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024)
“A great relationship is hard to come by, so whatever meaningful relationship you have, whether you are single or married, focus on strengthening it and on showing your love and affection. This will help avoid unnecessary misunderstandings between you and your partner. Enhance the southwest corner of your bedroom with the image of mystic knot or peony paintings for love and marriage luck.”
———
Snake (1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025)
“Loving energies are at an all-time high! Single Snakes looking for love or who are already in a long-term relationship can consider engagement or getting married as the timing is right. Married couples should be careful as chances of a 3rd-party intervention loom high. Wear the popularity/anti-infidelity medallion to prevent trouble. Double Happiness or Mandarin Ducks prints are great enhancers for relationship luck.”
———
Horse (1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026)
“The single Horse will get to meet a special someone. As the romance star is favoring you highly, it will bring opportunities for you to to travel, get married, have a baby, or achieve academic success. This is the right time to propose. Married Horses should be wary of a 3rd party threat. Wear the popularity and attractiveness amulet which is also a protection against infidelity. You may also wear the peony shawl for peace of mind.”
———
Sheep (1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027)
“Single male Sheep can expect exciting developments in their love life. Female Sheep searching for a special someone need to enhance love luck by displaying the Peach Blossom Blue Rat painting in the north corner of the bedroom to activate relationship luck. To make 2018 worthwhile, attend happy occasions, parties, weddings, or birthdays.”
———
Monkey (1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016)
“Single Monkeys might be less interested in entering a new relationship. Chances are, if you find someone, it will not be for keeps. Married Monkeys are advised to take better care of their health as they could be feeling a weakening of their energies. Best wear the peony shawl and the popularity and attractiveness amulet, not only for yourself but for your family. Strengthening your relationship should be one of your priorities this year.”
———
Rooster (1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017)
“The single Rooster can expect exciting encounters thanks to auspicious stars. Take the chance to socialize, meet new people, and make new friends. Display a pair of Mandarin ducks or hang a peony painting in the southwest to enhance your love luck. Displaying the image of your peach blossom animal (Red Horse) in the south will also activate your relationship luck. Married Roosters should be extra careful of 3rd parties.”
———
Dog (1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018)
“Single Dogs can expect harmonious and positive relationships, especially if you display the image of Mandarin ducks to activate your social life. Your peach blossom animal (Green Rabbit) is best hung in the East side of your bedroom to keep relationships smooth. Married Dogs can take advantage of a more stable and loving relationship. If you wish to get married, get pregnant, or get engaged, then this is the right year.”
———
Boar (1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019)
“Your hands will be full with new friendships that are also great opportunities in finding a loving relationship. Single Boars will be happy to know that love luck is finally on their side. Capitalize on this time. Boars who have been in a relationship for a while should consider getting engaged, getting married, and start a family. Boost your relationship luck by hanging a Peonies and Lotus painting in the northwest or southeast sectors.”
TURN FRIENDS INTO FOES. Pair dragon with phoenix for marriage or relationship protection
Looks like it’s a good year in general for relationships, whether platonic or romantic. Socializing is the rule. If married or in a relationship, be careful about attracting a 3rd party who may cause problems. If they won’t stay away, at least don’t encourage them, whether they approach you online or offline. Karma is watching.
