Basing On The Season You Were Born In, What Does 2012 Hold For You?

The time has come again for our usual yearly series of articles on forecasts. Our very first article will touch on this year's forecast basing on the season you were born in. After that, we will have another article basing on your Chinese Horoscope and the last article of this series will be on Feng Shui. You will be learning about the favorable and unfavorable sectors in your home for 2012.

Let's begin by determining which of the 5 groups you belong to. The first group of people are born between 4th February and 4th April, this group is considered the Spring people. Spring people have lots of Wood in their chart, as Spring is the season where Wood is at its strongest. Generally, Spring people favor Metal as Metal helps to weaken the excessive Wood in their charts.

The second group are the Summer people, born between 6th May and 6th July. Generally, Summer people have lots of Fire in their chart, which causes them to be driven, but hot-tempered at the same time. If you belong to this group, Water is your favorable element as it helps you dilute the strong Fire in your chart.

Thirdly, we have the Autumn people, born between 8th August to 7th October. The dominant element of Autumn is Metal, as a result, Autumn people favor Wood, which helps to balance the excessive Metal in their charts.

Group number four belongs to the Winter people, born between 8th November and 5th January of the following year. Water is unfavorable to Winter people as Winter is the season where Water is at its strongest. Therefore, Winter people get along best with Summer people because Fire and Water balance each other. In other words, you can also say that Winter people favor Fire.

Last but not least, we have the Earth people. Earth people are born during the four Earth months of each year, which are as follows, 6th January to 3rd February, 5th April to 5th May, 7th July to 7th August and lastly, 8th October to 7th November. Earth people have lots of Earth in their chart, their favorable elements are those which weaken Earth. Earth people have more favorable elements than the other four groups as there are three elements which weaken Earth.

Because of having more favorable elements, Earth people are usually more tolerant than those under the four groups. The three elements which Earth people favor are Wood, Metal and Water. Right now, you probably already know which are your favorable elements and which are the elements that you should avoid.

Let's move on by looking at the elements of year 2012. 2012 is the Water Dragon year, Dragon represents Earth. If Water and Earth are both your favorable elements, this will be your year to shine.

For Spring people, this will be an average year for you, as Water strengthens Wood, your unfavorable element. In order to improve your luck cycle, you need to increase the effect of the Fire element in your daily life. You may be wondering, why Fire instead of Metal?

As Water is present, more Metal will strengthen Water, which in turn strengthens Wood, your unfavorable element. Fire weakens Wood instead of strengthening it. Now, your next question might be, how to increase the effect of Fire?

Firstly, by using more Fire colors, which include Red, Orange and Purple. In terms of food, you should try to eat more spicy food, barbecue food, as well as take more chocolate and coffee. Spending more time driving and working in front of your computer also helps to increase the effect of the Fire element in your daily life.

I have good news for the Summer people. Both Water and Earth are favorable to you, as they weaken Fire. You should make use of this year to propel yourself to success. Any major projects or important decisions should be made and settled by this year.

As for the Autumn people, it will also be an average year for you. Although Water weakens Metal, Earth strengthens it. The result is strong Water, as Earth strengthens Metal which in turn strengthens Water. Since Water is strong, the presence of Wood will cause your luck cycle to turn for the better.

Now, how can you increase the effect of Wood in your daily life so that you can enhance your luck cycle for this year? The best way is to surround yourself with books or clothes. Books and clothes represent the Wood element. If you don't have many books or clothes, you might want to spend more time in the library or shopping for clothes.

In terms of color, you should try your best to use Green. Eating more Green leafy vegetables and green fruits will also help to increase the effect of Wood in your daily life. In terms of fruit, Kiwi works best.

Next, we come to the Winter people. Unfortunately, the Winter people are the most disadvantaged among all five groups. Because of the strong Water and lack of Fire, you might find yourself going through a very frustrating year. It is a must for you to enhance your luck cycle by increasing the effect of the Fire element in your daily life, which is especially true during the Winter months of 2012. Do remember to wear more Red, Orange and Purple, as well as eat more spicy food.

Last but not least, it will also be an average year for the Earth people as Water is favorable but Earth is not. Those born between 8th October to 7th November must look out for challenges relating to your parents. As you are born in Dog month, the year pillar, Dragon clashes directly with your month pillar. Whenever there is a clash with the month pillar, it signifies challenges relating to your parents.

For the Earth people born in the other 3 months, you should increase the effect of Wood in your daily life in order to enhance your luck cycle. Before I end, this is just a general guide to your favorable elements. In order to have a more accurate analysis of your favorable and unfavorable elements, please consult a professional Chinese astrologer.

With that, I wish you a smooth sailing 2012 ahead.
