ANNUAL FORECAST FOR 2006 : YEAR OF YANG RED FIRE DOG BASED ON
CHINESE ASTROLOGY
(Year of Yang Red Fire Dog : 29.01.2006 to 17.02.2007)
GENERAL ANALYSIS
In Chinese Hsia Calender, 2006 is the 4703rd year and is called
the Bing-Xu : the Year of the Dog. It is also the third year of
the new Fengshui Land Luck Period 8. The Calendar is based on
the Five Elements of Nature. They are also known as the Pancha
Pranas or the Pancha Bhoodhas : Earth (Bhoomi), Water (Jala),
Fire (Agni), Metal (Air, Vaayu), and Wood (Ether, Sky, Spirit,
Space, Aakash). The Year of the Dog symbolises the Fire and
Earth. That is Yang Red Fire riding over the Earth. Hence the
name Year of the Yang Red Fire Dog. In the Productive Cycle of
Fengshui, Fire gives birth to Earth. So the basic elemental
relationship is positive and quite strong.
2006 is, in general, a supportive year with a sensible climate
of justice, relief, harmony and peace prevailing over the globe,
compared to the last few years. Even though global turmoil and
instability will continue, the scale of civil wars and
international conflicts will come down. Initiatives of the
prevoius years will lead to peace talks which in turn could
result in amicable settlements. Even the visciousness in the
political atmosphere will mellow down and become more polite and
optimistic. On the other hand, many countries will see new
claims for seperate provinces or states based on certain
cultural or ethnic origins. The primary issues for most of the
countries will continue to revolve around maintenance of law and
order, internal security, defence, border security and control
of terrorists. International disputes of land and properties
will also continue to thrive.
There will be a huge positive surge in solving issues relating
to global interests : global warming problem, environmental
pollution, earth conservation, saving extinct species, tackling
epidemics, resource sharing, etc. National & international
co-operation will become the trend of the year. 2006 would
probably concieve the notion of collective mankind marching
towards an inspiring New World Order.
Spiritual and religious following will gather much greater
momentum and an yearning to find metaphysical answers will
increase. More and more NewAge Ways will be revealed and will
gain popularity. Discussions and forums on esoteric subjects
will open up. Paranormal happenings will increase drastically.
Hidden dangers and unexplainable events will initiate genuine
interests in several mystic subjects. Many new Cults will
surface.
There will be quite a few windfalls and prosperity not seen for
quite some time now. Bitter experience will give way to optimism
and self-confidence and when supported by planned and sustained
efforts, will yield excellent success. Moderate to fast economic
recovery will be seen and a general improvement in living
conditions may be witnessed. A sincere attempt for urban renewal
will be started. The underprivileged will get to have a lot of
attention. 2006 will see a lot more marriages happen than the
previous year - it will also see a lot less break-offs and
divorces. Faith and commitments will be rewarded whereas
deviousness and treachery will be punished. Marital bliss will
in general, be quietly satisfying. Handsome cashflows will also
bring in avoidable expenses. To save, accumulate and invest in
assets will become more difficult.
For a change, as a general rule, career will flourish, commerce
will expand and pay rise will be satisfactory. There could be a
fall in unemployment figures, in many countries. Stock and
financial markets will skyrocket (and invariably slump) and many
will make their lifetime fortunes. However, the second half of
the year could prove to be the undoing for too many. Industries
identified with fire element : airlines, entertainment,
electricity, energy, stock market and financial markets will see
a lot of investments and massive expansions. All industries
related to the wood element, like paper, magazines, books,
fashion, textiles and fancy furniture will thrive. Construction
industry, real estates and interior designing will flourish. On
the other hand in areas like insurance, hotels, mining,
chemicals, heavy metal industries, etc. there could actually be
decline in business itself, with cut throat competition ruining
everything. Industries linked to the water element like
shipping, drinks and communications will manage to maintain the
last year's tempo. The electronic and petroleum industries will
expand greatly. The TV and movie industries will see quite a lot
of troubles by way of legal disputes, lawsuits, high interest
loans, untimely deaths of personalities and violent clashes.
Educational and constitutional reforms will be started in many
countries. Fields catering to the special needs of women,
new-born babies, education, religions and esoterism will do very
good business. But whatever maybe the industry, the year will be
filled with gossips, arguments, disputes and struggles. There
will be many cases where frustrations will end up in lawsuits
and imprisonments.
Earthquakes of awesome proportions will occur. Fire based
disasters like volcanic eruptions, nuclear disasters and big
fire explosions will take place. Typhoons, very heavy rains,
floods, building collapses, bridge cracks, landslides, mining
accidents, plagues, etc. will happen in frightening frequency.
Accidents in mass transport systems will drastically increase.
Tourist disasters and refugee crisis will continue to increase.
There will be many more cases of children getting hurt in mass,
maybe in places like water theme parks, kindergarden schools,
etc.
Drug and herbal abuse will lead to serious health problems. Food
poisoning due to residual pesticides in fruits, vegetables and
flowers will increase to a worrying level. Serious health
problems related to blood, heart and kidneys are indicated.
Stomach pain, shoulder pain and problems pertaining to
digestion, abdomen and intestines will be very common. 2006
could see a lot more cases of severe cancer, eye and respiratory
infections. Chances of Bird flu breaking out once again is quite
high.
