2014 Year of the Fire House | The Next Asia Financial Crisis?

2014 Year of the Fire Horse | Forecast 2014 

For the past 6 months, many case studies being documented by me indicates inauspiciousness in the career palace for many individuals.  The Sun, known as the primary star in the career palace in Ziwei Dou Shui, turns negative or 化忌 either at main palace or career palace for year 2014. Many Bazi readings indicate deficit in wealth, fame, recognition and inauspiciousness in career palace for the year 2014.

When there is such a large quantity of case studies pointing towards this direction, it might means a financial storm is approaching. And if both the Bazi and Ziwei analysis are consistent on the interpretation then the higher the probability scale of such crisis. 

And I also notice there is this small group of individuals whose luck improves significantly during crisis. When majority is suffering, they are flourishing both in career and wealth. It is a good comparison mechanism to establish the correlation. 

Back to fundamentals, as many of your might notice that liquidity is pulling out of Asia recently causing interest rate to increase. Many investment bankers already foresee this happening in their forecast. Governments in Asia have to mobilize their reserves to stabilize their currencies. Hence, it is not a good news for many small medium enterprises, same goes for the economy. Any major hiccup in the next 6 months might send a shock shave across Asia. Well, I think our government is prepare for this given the hints by them through mass media. But whether are the commoners ready for the impact! 

Regardless whether you will be retrench or not, it is better to have a contingency plan to better prepare yourself for the worst. 

1) Start saving for raining days
2) Cut down expense
3) Scale down your investment portfolio
4) Have more cash on hand
5) Minimize risks
6) Calculate your family expenditure and reference it with your saving to see whether you reserve can help you pull through this crisis if being retrenched

For business owners;


  • Scale down new projects
  • Better cost management
  • Lower business risks
  • Lock in more contracts
