On February 4th at 7:03pm, the new Solar Year begins. This brings in the new qi for 2008. This new energy has both good and unfavorable effects. The key is to knowing which directional energy you need to watch out for and which are areas in which you should spend time.
In 2008, the ruling star is #1 white (tan lang). This is a fortunate star with positive effects that include wealth, fame, and romance. It is the star that provides the flavor of this year. While this is a good star, there are some negative issues too. It is a water star, so be careful of water related dangers.
The other key star to be aware of this year is the #5 yellow star (lian zhen). This is a troublesome character who brings misfortune wherever he lands. This year he is in the South. The number 5 yellow can bring money delays, accidents, and other misfortune. It is especially important that you do not dig in the South direction (in relationship to your house) this year. Additionally, in the south section be sure to add the metal element to reduce the negative qi. Try not to spend too much time in a southern room. If your bedroom is in the South section of the house, use metal to reduce the negative qi and spend a minimal amount of time there.
The #8 star (zuo fu) arrives in the East this year. This is an auspicious star and can bring money prosperity. But being in the East, it is weakened by the wood qi of the East. Adding the color red can give strength to this wonderful #8.
These are a sampling of the key energies you need to be aware of.
