WOOD-BASED industries such as publishing, fashion, agriculture, flowers and plantation, among others, will be the luckiest in the year of the Water Dragon, a feng shui expert said.
During her visit to Cebu last Tuesday, Marites Allen of World of Feng Shui Philippines said that based on feng shui, 2012 will be a transformative year, with the promise of growth and political and economic turnarounds.
According to Allen, the year indicates luck in asset growth for wood-related businesses.
Businesses related to the earth element, such as real estate, will continue to prosper this year, she also said. Business involving the water element, on the other hand—like shipping, banking, transport, beverages, and fishing—will have an “average year”. So will the metal-element businesses like mining, jewelry, computers, airlines, and automobiles.
Allen said fire-related businesses like entertainment, lighting, and restaurants will have a “competitive outlook” in the year of the Water Dragon.
Allen was one of the speakers during the Views and Prospects 2012 Economic Forum of the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Cebu Business Club held at the Casino Español.
In her presentation, Allen said that 2012 will be a transformation year in politics and the economy. The last year of the Water Dragon was in 1952. That year, she pointed out, saw the death of King George VI of the United Kingdom, which led to Queen Elizabeth’s transition to power; treaties signed to officially end World War II; the start of the nuclear age with the detonation of the first hydrogen bomb; and a large number of UFO (unidentified flying object) sightings.
While the Water Dragon brings improvement and transformation, Allen also emphasized that based on the Paht Chee Chart for the Year of the Water Dragon, 2012 is “afflicted.”
“The Chinese New Year commences on the worst day of the month, in the worst month of the year,” she said, raising the possibility of violence and natural disasters.
She, however, said that 2012 is also a “double spring” year, which bodes well for those who want to start a business, switch jobs, or get married.
