I’d love to claim that quote…
…but it was just my translation of something submitted from our feng shui columnist, Wilson Sun.
checking horoscope is ok. My brothers are big fans.
I used to travel alot so I always check weather forecast before I go.
now that I am no longer traveling not much, somehow I still check weather channel before I leave for work.
if you are a farmer or fisherman, absolutely, you would check farmer almanac, due to tide and the moon, where to find fish, when do what farming etc.
now that we are no longer in agricultural only society anymore,
–
It is always of interests to read signs, or whatever said in chinese farmer almanac
–
Feng Shui is a big thing, in Taiwan, China, singapore and Japan.
may be catching on in the west.
–
I have a good friend who is a Feng Shui Shi. He always carries a complicated compass. He confuses me alot, but sometimes, he does make sense.
as far as fortune telling, and palm or face reading, –
may be just for fun?

:D;)
12 energies, chinese zodiac, kung fu.
in classical chinese zodiac, the twelve animals relate to the 12 different types of energy. the animals themselves were chosen to reflect the best possible way for humans to understand the individual energy of whatever sign or type in question. by applying this understanding we can further enhance our practice by taking into account the 12 energies in relation to martial arts practice, not to mention any given situation wish arises during the course of our lives. so a breaking it down i will to each of the twelve energies and the lessons which can applied to practice.
ox- determination, willpower, straightforwardness. it is very hard to stop a rampaging bull ox.
rat- assimilation, intelligence, resourcefulness. the rat has an adept ability to have a well organized library of technique and method.
pig- logic, reasoning, balance. the pigs low center of gravity and logical, well-balanced applications of techniques is superb.
dog- loyalty, protection, security. dogs are faithful in serving their masters and ideals, they have both a bark and a bite and will risk their lives for family and friends(vital areas).
rooster- cautious, alertness, quickness. it’s very hard to catch a rooster by suprise, let alone catch one running away from you.
monkey- cunning, deceptive, irritating. the monkey’s superb ability to get under the skin allows others concentration to become unfocused.
goat- agility, mobility, dexterity. a goat is [b]always[/b] poised to headbutt you.
horse- endurance, strength, nobility. the horse has the endearing qualities of continuation… to press on with a sheer and noble will to finish the task at hand.
snake- precision, patience, stealth. waiting until the proper time to strike quickly, accurately, and fatally…
dragon- presence, power, transcience. the powerful dragon has the uncanny ability to vanish and reappear instantenously.
rabbit- luck, speed, intellect. no martial artist is complete without the rabbit.
tiger- courage, ferocity, versitality. the tiger is nearly unstoppable and can attack from almost any position.
Ok so you’re year of the Goat…is there a question here or just a statement.
[QUOTE=Hebrew Hammer;891269]Ok so you’re year of the Goat…is there a question here or just a statement.[/QUOTE]depends on if you’re asking a question or making a statement.
[QUOTE=uki;891270]depends on if you’re asking a question or making a statement.[/QUOTE]
depends on whether we’re really having a conversation.
[QUOTE=Hebrew Hammer;891274]depends on whether we’re really having a conversation.[/QUOTE]there’s nothing wrong with attempting to have one… who knows, maybe it will become interesting during the process.
My wife is a Tiger. My 1 daughter is a rabbit. My son is a Snake. My other daughter is rat. I am a friggen sheep/ram/goat. How is that even fair?
[QUOTE=GreenCloudCLF;891287]My wife is a Tiger. My 1 daughter is a rabbit. My son is a Snake. My other daughter is rat. I am a friggen sheep/ram/goat. How is that even fair?[/QUOTE]the lesson is different for all involved… your wife being a tiger natural describes the chaos surrounding her, not considering the fact that tigers tend to eat the goats… your only comfort(relatively speaking in energy terms) would be your rabbit daughter as you and her share a trinity. considering you and your tiger wife have a near 2 on a scale of 10 in relationships, if and when you two split up, even if you find your most harmonious match(the pig) it will be in direct conflict with your son(the snake) which is opposite the pig… as for the rat, heck they do fine where-ever they go. so all in all… this explains why the goat is always whining BAAAAA!!! BBBBAAAAAA!!! and why it is always poised to ram heads with something…

What I actually read.
[QUOTE=GreenCloudCLF;891289]What I actually read.[/QUOTE]you need bi-focals or something?
ok so here’s my situation… i’m a wood tiger, girlfriends a water dog, my first daughter, from an earth goat ex, is a metal dragon, my other two children are a wood monkey and a fire pig. it actually works out well, atleast the monkey shares my element… my girlfriend(water) nutures me and my youngest daughter(wood) and i nurture my son(fire) who can only be doused by mommy(water)… the metal dragon is the ax to the treetrunks(wood), yet wood conquers and controls earth(why the custody issues always seem to end up in my favor as far as dads are concerned)… the dragon and monkey are two peas in a pod save the metal is always instigating the wood… i could go on and on and relate every single person in my life in this line of understanding. once you become familiar with the energies, patterns and inter-reactions become much clearer.
uki my wife is an ox and i am a metal rooster we are the best matches for each other , now do you think we should have a child purposely in a year we both match well with through our energies?because me and my dad are clashes in energy, he is a rat one of my worst and my book says that exact thing that we are very bad for each other, but dont get me wrong, i love my father. so what are your thoughts???

parental energy relationships manifest different than spouses, mates(girlfriend-boyfriend), and whonot… my youngest daughter is a monkey, my opposite… yet i realize that all things happen for a reason; for her to have a tiger as a father will help develop and refine her energy to be able to relate to all tigers… i would say vice versa, but i already understand the frigg’in monkey…
so what are your thoughts???
i would say that it doesn’t hurt to plan, but then i would also tell you that planning gets you nowhere… whatever happens will happen and it will be for the best.
