After a year of ups and downs in 2006 the Rat has a wonderful year to look forward to, there are a few little hiccups in April, September and November but if you follow my advice you will have a great year.

2007 will be a year of changes for the Rat and wealth luck is very good. With regards to relationships there will be changes for the better, but Rats born in 1972 need to be careful not to get tempted by having a fling, it will I guarantee you cause you many problems if you do get tempted. Health should be good in 2007 although with success there is always a price to pay somewhere and health can be affected if you do not take time out and relax, it will be a great year but you will work hard and stress levels can get high as can your blood pressure, please take time to relax and 2007 is the perfect time to take up Qi Kong, tai chi or similar exercise to relax the body and mind.

You should be careful of rivals/competitors this year. You will need to be careful with money as it can arrive and depart very quickly, so some careful money management is needed. 2007 is a perfect time to gather your thoughts and take stock of what you have and your life. This year is ideal for those who are or want to be creative and if you are in a position you should really try and travel this year as not only will the change be good for you, financially you could benefit too.

Do not take risks this year in any sector of your life, so no gambling, playing stock and shares or even high-risk sports. Take it easy but stay alert as you will need your wits about you, this will be a year of "discovering yourself", seriously, this may sound a bit of a cliché but you will find you discover things about yourself that you never realised were there, you will know what I am talking about towards the middle of 2007. Try and look at some new forms of relaxation like painting, writing, Tai Chi, Yoga or start playing golf. Take up every opportunity of travel, as the rewards will be high whether personally or financially.

Rats born in 1948 should use the master cure for 2007 as this helps with unwanted thoughts that may be going through your mind, check out our 2007 cures kit for more details.

Cautions for 2007: The female Rat and especially those born in 1960 (metal Rat) should take extra time out to look after their partner as her successful year may absorb so much time she may neglect her poor deserving partner and they may feel rejected. So please take time out for both of you and lavish your partner with gifts and spoil them rotten, did I mention that my wife Jo is a Metal Rat.

Cautions for month: Take extra care in the months of March, April and November and make sure you check back with us monthly to get your updates for the month.

Your lucky sector: (astrological zone) is the North (352.5º - 7.5º) of the home or office. Use blues or black in your decoration if you have a bedroom here. This is a neutral sector in 2007 influenced by an inauspicious annual flying star #7. For full details on 2007 flying star analysis follow this link.

Although the north is your astrological zone, this may not be the best direction for you to face when seated at work or doing anything important. If you are relocating your desk this year to face one of your favourable personal directions, please be aware of the directions and locations of the annual afflictions in particular northeast and northwest 2007. If you are unsure of your Gua and best directions follow this link or maybe consider using our Feng Shui software that calculates Gua, Chinese animal including element, flying stars, annual, fixed and monthly and so much more.

You are in affinity with the Ox. For your protection, you should have a key chain pendant of an Ox with you at all times throughout the year in 2007.

Be careful if your main door, bedroom or office or any other important room is located in the northeast, northwest or north this year 2007 and make sure you follow the 2007 Flying Star (Xuan Kong) recommendations. If your office or bedroom is located in the northeast or east (monthly stars protection) make sure you place a Wu Lou or six Chinese coins tied in a row with red ribbon for the month especially if you are not in good health or very stressed. To further enhance 2007 check out the monthly almanac, flying stars and animal predictions as it not only gives you advise of good and bad days to do certain tasks it also advise you if it is good for your animal sign.

If you would like to be informed in advance of the monthly, annual and fixed flying stars for the rest of your life giving you the ultimate control of your home or business, maybe consider our advanced Feng Shui software, it is used by Feng Shui Masters, Practitioners and students throughout the world.

West is the location and direction of the Three Killings

When at work, you may sit facing this west direction if this is one of your personal good directions, but do not sit with your back to it (west) or you may find unscrupulous people working against you or you may encounter undue gossip and back stabbing during the year. A little known and extremely powerful cure and enhancer in 2007 and one that can only be used in certain years is by placing 4 pieces of Sodalite quartz crystal in the west, they only need to be small ones but need to be placed ideally in the centre of west, these come in our 2007 cures kit with full instructions for placement. The only other years these can be used are Rabbit and Sheep/Goat years. The nice part of this annual cure is that the Sodalite crystal will also enhance the #4 romance and literacy/career star and at the same time dissipate the inherent metal energy of the west, this really is a lovely cure and enhancer at the same time.

Northwest is where Tai Sui (Grand Duke of Jupiter) resides

With Tai Sui, you may rely on him for support in that you may sit with him in the northwest and face the southeast. Do not confront him by undertaking any renovation or construction works in the northwest or by sitting in a position that is directly opposite him (southeast). In 2007, this means do not sit with your back to the southeast facing northwest even if this is your best direction. Most traditional Chinese families would place a Pi Yao Dragon or a dragon headed Tortoise in the southeast of the home facing northwest or if your main door is in the northwest, place it just inside the door facing northwest.

Sui Po (The year breaker)

Sui Po year breaker occupies the division directly opposite Tai Sui Grand Duke, which for 2007 is southeast. You should treat this area the same as the other annual afflictions with no groundbreaking work, renovations or any noisy activities. If disturbed this area can and normally will cause immediate health problems especially for the elderly, so please be very careful. If you have to carry out work or emergency repairs in the southeast place a six hollow metal rod wind chime between the building and where the work is being carried out and ideally you should contact a professional Feng Shui Practitioner to select an auspicious date to start the work.

To soften the effects of the year you should hang six Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon and place it in the centre of your home or office this year to control the #2 star, you should also place a six rod metal wind chime in the northeast along with a set of six Chinese coins tied together with ribbon in your home this year to weaken the #5.

This is very important especially if you have a main door, bedroom, office, lounge or other important room in the northeast or northwest.
