A 121212 Post - The 11th Lunar Month and beyond

Today is 12-12-12. A string of date/month/year numbers that will only come by again in a hundred years - definitely not in our lifetime. Are you doing anything memorable to commemorate this day or will you just let it go by like any other day?

We talked about turbulence and disasters in this (10th) lunar month - which is fast coming to an end. The new lunar month, the 11th, begins tomorrow, Dec 13. What does it hold for us in the 11th lunar month?  (At the same time, we are reminded of the Mayan calendar hinting of the end of the world on Dec 21.)

Read about what to expect in the 11th lunar month in the article below.  In it is also a link to individual horoscope readings for the forthcoming Black Water Snake Year in 2013. Not very positive news for most horoscopes, I'm afraid. Still, some things can be avoided, I think.

Here goes..


Hi friends,

The General Chinese Animal Horoscope for 2013 The Year of the Snake is HERE! Before you read the individual animal horoscopes, please ensure that you read the General Fortune for 2013 at the top of the page as it will affect everyone. CLICK HERE for details of the Chinese Horoscope 2013 Snake Year --> http://www.jmine.com.sg/chinese_horoscope2013.htm . While reading the individual animal horoscopes, bear in mind that the projections are according to the general analysis of the animal signs only. They are not personalized projections.

As we draw closer to the Chinese New Year, you might receive many suggestions from many sources regarding the 2013 yearly Feng Shui recommendations. Should you have done a Feng Shui review for your house or commercial premises(full layout) with me previously, please do not change your arrangement because the specific recommendations that have been given to you during your Feng Shui Review will override any recommendations that might be mentioned in the yearly Feng Shui recommendations.

If you are born in the year of Snake, Pig, Tiger, Monkey and Dragon, you will be in conflict with Tai Tsui in the 2013 Snake year. However, among all the animal signs, those who are born in the years of Ox and Goat will have the weakest luck.

The Chinese New Year for the Snake will be on 10 Feb 2013. If you have done the fortune reading or life analysis a year or more ago with me, the 12 months after session support will have expired. In order to continue enjoying the support, you might want to arrange for a reading. If you have not done a reading and are interested in doing a personalized fortune reading with me, you might want to arrange for one soon in order to be able to plan ahead, as there will be more instability in the coming year and there will be some matters which will take some time to achieve and you will want to tap on all the possible opportunities. The Chinese Horoscope 2013 is only for the general public and is not tailored to an individual's case.

There I've done it - something done on 121212 at 1212pm.  Have a really great day, everyone!  Cheers!

What does the 10th lunar month hold for us?

How time flies. We are now in the 10th lunar month. What does it hold for us, for the world? Below is from an email from a feng shui expert that warrants reading and perhaps paying attention to. With war looming in the Middle-east, are we seeing the prediction coming true? Read on..

The 10th lunar month is from the 14th Nov to 12th Dec 2012. It will be quite a bad month. There will be severe natural disasters, illnesses and plagues together with other forms of trouble that will be elaborated upon later. Hence, it will be best to avoid traveling during this period of time so as not to be caught up in a fix in an unfamiliar environment.

There will be a lot of gossip, badmouthing, quarrels, disagreements and direct conflicts. This will affect individuals causing disharmony among family members, divorce and separation or severe office politics. There will also be conflicts between nations, people of different ethnicity and races. Ethnic and racial clashes and violence among groups of people with different ideologies will be more frequent resulting in more casualties. A great deal of undesirable publicity will seem to manifest itself easily. Even if you will be playing your part well, you might be easily sucked into the chaos and conflict. The impact will be so devastating leading one to lose jobs, business and even losing one’s life. It will be best to stay out of the limelight and maintain a low profile. During this period of time, there will be many who will try to take advantage of the situation by intercepting others job opportunities, making more money at the expense of others and toppling their competitors from power. The power reshuffles will seem to last while the money gained will not. This will be a great time for the big and powerful ones while the gentle and innocent people might have to put their safety belts on or take cover.

The majority of people will be open to creation and innovation. Leadership qualities will also be apparent. This will be a great time to lead, motivate and be an inspiration to others. There will also be some people who might be likely to cross the line and become stubborn, opinionated, and over-confident. This group of people might end up taking things for granted, make bad plans and in so doing repulse others who might be able help them and even walk away from solutions. The damage that this group of people will face might be many times greater than at other periods of time and might include financial losses, lost opportunities, loss of jobs and power or being stuck in a situation like cat chasing it’s tail.. However, some people’s loss will be others’ gain. As such, there will be a group of people laughing all the way to the bank by pocketing all the opportunities and benefits.

The other potential problem relates to documentation or commentary errors. Mistakes in a contract or agreement might result in large penalties and even leading to legal problems. Our focus will be weaker than at other times. Hence, if you need to handle contractual matters or sign documents, you will need to be very careful to ensure that the details are correct. Where the documentation is prepared by others, ensure that you have gone through the details thoroughly before endorsing it. If you feel tired, it will be best to request for more time to examine thoroughly through the documentation instead of doing shoddy work. This month will be unfavourable for learning and engaging in complex planning.

For those who need to cleanse their crystals or have been using their crystals actively, you might want to use the moonlight of the 29th Nov 2012 to do so.

Selamat Hari Raya Haji & 2013 Public and School Holidays

The weekend comes early this week as today is the last day of work for the week. Tomorrow is a national public holiday as Muslims celebrate Eid ul-Adha or Aidil Adha or commonly-known here in Malaysia as Hari Raya Haji.

Hari Raya Haji is the second most important festival in the Muslim calendar. It marks the end of the annual hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca.

Let me take this opportunity to wish everyone celebrating this happy occasion Selamat Hari Raya Haji..

And to you who are along for the ride, Happy Holiday..

From now until the end of the year, we will get to enjoy four more national public holidays. The next national holiday is on Nov 13 (a Tuesday) in which Hindus will be celebrating a religious festival, Deepavali or Diwali, the Festival of Lights.

Planning for next year's vacation? The 2013 Malaysia National Public Holidays and School Holidays schedule may be what you need. Happy planning!

A Leap into Leap Day

Today, Feb 29, is an unusual day, a day which happens only once in every four years thus it is called a Leap day and 2012 is a Leap year. (Does it mean that if your birthday falls on this date, you will only grow a year older every four years?)

Why do we need a Leap day?

I'll let Wikipedia explain..
Although most years of the modern calendar have 365 days, a complete revolution around the sun takes approximately 365 days and 6 hours. Every four years, during which an extra 24 hours have accumulated, one extra day is added to keep the count coordinated with the sun's apparent position.

The Chinese lunar calendar also incorporates leaping (if there is such a word to describe it), not leap days but leap months. Certain years, there are thirteen months in a lunar year and it is not restricted to any particular month.

How is the leap month determined?

Leap years have 13 months. To determine if a year is a leap year, calculate the number of new moons between the 11th month in one year (i.e., the month containing the Winter Solstice) and the 11th month in the following year. If there are 13 new moons from the start of the 11th month in the first year to the start of the 11th month in the second year, a leap month must be inserted.

Notice the calendar in the image above? This is the type of calendar traditional Chinese families would have at home which I have at work as well because it also incorporates the lunar calendar whose days of the month we refer to for events and festivals. It comes in handy for those who go vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. This fast is usually done for religious reasons. Chinese festivals are based on this lunar calendar, but of course, including

- Chinese New Year (1st lunar month)
- Chap Goh Meh (15th day of the 1st lunar month - also last day of Chinese New Year)
- Tomb-sweeping day (3rd month)
- Dumpling day festival (5th month)
- Hungry Ghost month festival (7th month)
- Mooncake/Lantern festival (8th month)
- Nine Emperor God festival (9th month)
- Winter solstice festival (11th month)

So, happy Leap day, Everyone!
Do something nice today, something memorable or something bad which it won't come back to haunt you until four years later! LOL!

It is 11111 today

Today is Jan 11. Doesn't ring a bell just looking at the date, does it? I didn't realise it either but saw it on The Star, so thought I'd also commemorate this date via a blog entry. Happy 11111 day, everyone!

KUALA LUMPUR: Today, Tuesday, it is 11111.

That is, the 11th day of January in the year 2011, or 11/1/11.

On January 1, it was 1111 or first day of January 2011 or 1/1/11.

On the first day of November, it will also be 11111 or 1/11/11 and on the 11th of November, it will be another 1 added on to make it 111111 or 11/11/11.

When will the next such thing happen? Perhaps on the second day of February 2022 - 2222 or 2/2/22.
