| Flying Star Feng Shui Analysis for 2003 In 2003 the number 6 star is in the centre. The number 6 star is a money star but is not active. At this time it is good for travelling, moving and emigration, and bringing in occasional money. According to the 3 Round 9 Fortune (the 180 year cycle of energy) we are in the 7th fortune. One Fortune is equal to 20 years, and three fortunes make up one Round. At the present time we are in the 7th fortune, which began in 1984 and ends in february 2004. During this period we say that the number 7 star is the active star. In 2003 the number 7 star is still the active star in the centre. This year, we have a yearly star of number 6 coming into the centre, so there is a conflict between the two. This is because the element of both the number 6 and 7 stars is metal. Metal and metal coming together in this way is like two swords clashing. It means that this year there will be more killing, robbery and war. Metal and metal are alike, which represents partners or similar types or groups of people. As they are in conflict this year it means that you have to watch out for disagreements with partners and colleagues. On a larger scale people within similar groups will be fighting each other, eg lawyers fighting lawyers, music industry fighting music industry, country fighting country. This conflict will also cause financial disputes or stealing money. Crime and gun problems will be on the increase. Also pornography will be more popular, and you should beware of affairs and love triangles. In feng shui terms you will need to use the cycle of the five elements to try to dilute the problem, not destroy it, otherwise you may create more trouble. Accidents The no 6 star is good for travelling this year, particularly with september 11th fading from people’s memories. However this year there are more chance of accidents such as plane and train crashes, so you should be careful travelling this year. We will see this kind of problem all around the world. War and Terrorism The number 6 star this year unfortunately does not bring money, but violence. In Flying Star Feng Shui, this will be affecting the middle east area, which will continue to be be the main problem. This is already evident as at the time of writing it seems that the USA has already decided to go to war with Iraq. Also with the hardline Sharon likely to triumph again in the Israeli elections, peace talks will be unlikely in the immediate future. In august (8th Sept - 8th October western calendar) and september (9th October - 7th Nov) you can expect more problems. This could be the time of a major conflict, perhaps with another war beginning in the middle east. It is certain that terrorists will attempt more attacks in America. According to Flying Star Feng Shui, the areas particularly at risk are the south east, east, and centre. In the south east, Georgia, Alabama, Columbia and Florida could be at risk, with major cities such as Miami and Atlanta obviously having more chance of an attack. In the central area, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska could be under threat, and in the east, Washington is the obvious target. The risk is higher due to the bad Chinese Astrology Stars affecting the east this year. Economy The global economy will continue to slow down because of global instability and the threat of war, with the stock market fallling from october onwards. The issue of oil will undoubtedly play a part, as any conflict is likely to have an effect on prices. The computer and electronic business will thrive again this year. With the energy beginning to move eastwards, the Chinese economy will be growing faster than ever. This can already be seen by the fact that China will host the 2008 Olympic games. The boom in property prices in the UK will slow down, but prices will still increase as demand continues to be high. Politics In feng shui terms, 2003 is the last year that the dominant energy will be in the west. After this year, western countries need to have good feng shui if they are to sustain their level of global influence. In the UK the Prime Minister Tony Blair, and in the USA President George Bush, will have serious problems, being subjected to increasing criticism as the anti-war protests gather momentum. Tony Blair in particular will face a leadership challenge as criticism mounts from within his own party, and the media continues their campaigns against the war in Iraq and the issue of asylum seekers. In august these problems will come to a head. The political consequences of any conflict will undoubtedly be far worse for Mr. Blair than for Mr. Bush, but both will have their reputations and credibility damaged. Politically Blair may end up stranded between the USA and EU. Weather The conflict predicted by flying star feng shui will be reflected in the weather as the effects of global warming continue, in particular flooding, earthquakes and fire. Analysis for the next 25 years As we mentioned above, times will become harder as we move toward the end of the Lower Round in 40 years time. Conflicts and wars will only increase. We can also use the I Ching ‘2 Round 8 Fortune’ to look ahead. We are currently in the I Ching Lower Round, 8th Fortune, which began in 1996 and is heading toward the 9th Fortune in 2017. Both Flying Star 3 Round 9 Fortune and I Ching 2 Round 8 Fortune total 180 years as a cycle, so in about 40 years time a new cycle will start. This period will give rise to recession, mass unemployment, violent attacks and crime, growing drug abuse, more Islamic fundamentalis, environmental pollution, rising divorce rates, growing numbers of transexuals, an increase in AIDS and other illnesses, natural disasters, and after the EU, burgeoning globalisation. There will be a polarisation of ideologies towards Islam or Christianity. With both Russia and China gradually embracing a more capitalist ideology, fundamentalist Islamic countries will be the source of most tension. These countries will fight against non-islamic countries and Islam will clash with all theother religions. Even within China the Islamic fundamentalists will still be causing a lot of problems, and so the Chinese will support the West against them. There will be a lot of political game-playing as each country tries to make the best of the situation for themselves. From the I Ching, we can see that the current climate of global unrest is set to continue until 2005. After that time we will enter a more peaceful period lasting until 2025. The Third World War will start from around 2025.
