This is the first year I won't be able to spend my CNY with my beloved family, sigh… Nonetheless, we will be celebrating CNY amongst our friends here in
Ireland. In fact, we feel quite at home now as our circle of friends keep expanding and getting closer and closer…
Let me share with you what we will be expecting for the year of the fire boar (extracted from http://www.astrologycom.com/firepig2.html)
Good Fortune - awaits those born under the zodiac of dragon, tiger and goat. Tiger occupies the 2 nd best in luck rating. The tiger must be humble, tolerant and maintain interpersonal harmony to reap good fortune.
Yearly Elements - 2007 is a mixed one with the year being ruled by the Fire element in Chinese and the Boar being ruled by Water element. With Fire and Water together it's going to be a struggle, as one is inimically the enemy of the other. Fire is on top this year with Water below – and Fire cannot burn without support. When Fire and Water clash, they either result in lots of scalding hot steam and explosions or they can transform whatever situation it was into something completely different.
Previous Boar Years : Previous Fire Boar years have been very dangerous, with much political to-ing and fro-ing, plus lots of upheavals. In 1947 the separation of India and Pakistan took place and, by the end of the year, the two were at war. Palestine was partitioned after a British plan. Britain recorded its most severe winter since 1894 and a fierce blizzard hit New York, where 28 inches (72 cms) of snow were recorded.
The other most interesting event of 1947 was the report of a crashed UFO near Roswell, New Mexico in the USA. Although several flying saucer crashes were reported in the literature around that time, the Roswell crash is the one that has dominated UFO research and been the most publicised.
The Economic Tests - The economy in a Fire Boar year can be very driven, as the Yin Fire aspect starts off the year well. Seasonally, when the Spring and Summer months begin (which is from March/April onwards in the Chinese calendar) then the economies of many countries will perform well. These months are favoured by the Fire element. After the summer finishes and the second half of the year comes, the Water element in the Boar year is more favoured: the Fire dies off, so the economy and stock market may slow right down in that second half. In 1997 which was also a Yin Fire year, the Asian markets collapsed in the second half of that year.
Looking at industries – those related to Fire and Water will not do so well this year with Water and Fire elements clashing. Water types of industries include communications, media, advertising, shipping, and the water bottling and soft drinks industry. The Fire industries are the stock market, finances, energy generation, electricity, technology, and entertainment. Fire and Water can contribute to sudden breakthroughs though, in technology or new energy devices, and there is great potential for new and dramatic inventions that revolutionise the way we generate power and also solve medical problems.
Weather and Politics - Fire and Water clashing says a lot about climate and weather and you can bet that the year 2007 will be one of even more unnatural climate extremes. Expect dramatic weather changes, storms, fires, droughts, volcanic eruptions, floods and even tsunamis. Other events that could be characteristic of 2007 will be chemical fires, industrial explosions and incidents related to factories or chemicals mixed in the wrong manner causing toxic poisoning and maybe even in food poisoning outbreaks.
Best of Fire Boar luck with this year and may all the most illustrious blessings and good fortune come your way.
