Believers in feng shui and astrology may find this interesting, especially if they were born in 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990 or 2002: it may be the Year of the Wooden Horse, but Horses might not find 2014 to be as fun or as worry-free as they might hope, a geomancer said.
Feng shui master Joseph Chau says in his 2014 forecast that people born in the Year of the Horse are “[c]heerful, charming, loyal, friendly, hard-working, independent, energetic, subjective and self-centered.”
He advises them not to go to funerals or wakes for the whole year, and to have a blood test or oral prophylaxis done at while 2014 is still starting “to enhance their luck.”
“[T]here are many unlucky stars that are gathered under their sign and present in their life cycle in 2014,” Chau's forecast reads in part.
“More or less, they will be quite emotional and under stress at work. It is important that they know how to relax more and stay quiet for self-protection. On the other hand, they have to keep low profile and be patient to avoid unnecessary rumors and jealousy.”
On the plus side, “Horses will have a stable and satisfactory income, but they should still cut down their unnecessary expenditures and watch their expenses to avoid being over budget,” it adds.
This is also one of the “romantic years” for Horses, the forecast says. “Lovers should be patient with each other to reach a mutual understanding. Married Horses should keep away from temptation or they will face separation. They must be careful with the way they handle their relationship to avoid any conflict, especially in the lunar months of February, March, May, September and December.”
Specific instructions aside, Chau's words mostly read like good advice for anyone, whether they're believers or not, whether they're Horses or not: “Pay special attention to road safety, stay away from sharp objects and beware of problems with the eyes, heart, high blood pressure, stroke and cardiovascular system.” — BM, GMA News
