Nasty lost year of 2020 was predicted in the stars and we didn’t listen; what must we do now?

At this time last year we were warned. We didn’t listen. And we all got our rear-ends horrendously kicked by the coming Covid-19 calamity.

The signs were in the stars, the feng shui experts said. BUZZ carried the story. Here’s the last paragraph in our article written 12 months ago on the advent of the Year of the White Metal Rat — at the time none of us realised we were about to be engulfed by a virus crisis:

“Final note: Beware at all costs of the wrath of Tai Sui, Grand Duke of Jupiter. This is a body of energy you do not want to offend. The Grand Duke will be at North 2. Wear a protective amulet.”

Clearly, in a terrible lost year, not enough of us wore a protective amulet.

Tai Sui is in charge of all matters that take place on earth or in heaven or hell. You must gain his support in 2021 and be sure not to inadvertently incur his wrath. When Tai Sui enters your animal sign location, you will be blessed with good fortune. Those born under animal signs with any clash with the Grand Duke must make special efforts to appease him. Go to a temple and pay homage. Now.

Were you born in the year of the SHEEP? Well, you’re in direct clash with Tai Sui. If you’re a DOG or DRAGON, you’re in side clash.

This is the Year of the Metal Ox. It is backed by the Duke. But if you are born an OX you had better pay homage to be sure he does not turn his wrath on you. SHEEP, DRAGONS, DOGS and OXES should all carry amulets this year and should display a Tai Sui 2021 plaque in the northeast of their homes.

Do not renovate your home or make loud noises. DO NOT FACE NORTHEAST.

These gems of wisdom come from www.wofs.com. It also has advice on colours to wear and deploy in the Year of the Ox:

• RED represents wealth and luck. But don’t overdo it.
• YELLOW, a noble and classy colour, brings recognition.
• WHITE brings resources and support.
• BLUE and Black are colours to be wary of. They can cause fierce competition and bring gossip and betrayals.
• GREEN confers creative talent and makes you energised and action oriented.

Meanwhile, feng shui grandmaster Raymond Lo is saying the combination of the Yin Metal and Ox this year will make it more harmonious and peaceful. (see www.raymond-lo.com)

The grandmaster tells how to protect your family from bad energy from the heavens:

• STAR FIVE YELLOW is potentially very worrisome. Hang a six-metal rod wind chime to the southeast. This will dissolve the bad star, Raymond says.
• STAR TWO is also dangerous. It brings sickness and worries and resides in the north. Display six metal coins to ward off its nasty energies.
• STAR THREE can cause conflict and robbery and can be seen in the southwest. Use red paper to minimise its influence.
• STARS SIX AND SEVEN can create problems and scandals. Protect yourself and loved ones with three bamboo sticks in a glass vase at the centre and northeast.

You all didn’t listen last year. Perhaps you will now. Confession: We didn’t listen ourselves. Smack botty. Time to deploy the red paper, wind chimes, metal coins and bamboo sticks. And the blue and black cap has got to go.
