THE BAZI CHART
Apparently, the year of the horse starts on 4th Feb 2014 which was the Li Chun 立春. Start of Sprig Season. The overall chart look hot because of the 4 fire elements and 3 wood elements. Indeed it is a hot chart with support from the wood. Woods in the chart indicate growth and fire indicates fast and furious. Water is absent from the chart. Water in this case is the authority and fame to the day master fire. Without authority means there is a lack of discipline. People tend to do thing by passing the law. The hour of Xin 辛，can combined with the day master Bing 丙 to transform into Water. This again suggest that Xin metal (money) will be used to buy fame and authority.
A hot chart needs wet earth to cool and metal to balance the chart. Looking at the lone metal in this chart, it suggest that industries that are related to metal will be under pressure. Some of the Metal industries are: Hardware、Financial、Jewelry、Transportation、Motorcar、Machinery、Law、Government Department、Manager、Sport. These industries have to wait till the Autumn Season to see improvement. Every 3rd month of the seasons is the earth month. During the summer and autumn earth month, we may see some pressure related to the earth industries, such as: real estate、farming、building、building material、clay、glass、town planner、land control、renovation、consultant executive,entertainment outlets.
The chart also have more that one wood and more than one fire. The same elements suggest there are many competitors. In the year of horse, business competitors are strong. New business of the same nature are growth in the early part of the year and it may see some of them could not make it during the middle of the year.
In conclusion, take precaution before venture into new business. Choose your co-partner wisely and wait for the opportunity with careful market survey. The team from Good Feng Shui Tips wish all a Prosperous Year of the Horse.
