The year 2018 is placed under the protection of the fabulous and flamboyant sign of the Fire Rooster, whose virtues of righteousness, perseverance and transparency generously reward those who understand them well enough..
In order to balance the energy flow of time that can provide benefits for one’s personal karma, it is best to wear jewelry and clothes respecting the composition and color of the Element they are supposed to represent (to discover the KarmaWeather infographics associated with each of the elements; Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood, click here).
These balancing principles concerning your wardrobe and accessories, which are connected to Feng Shui, also apply to the interior design of home and office alike. In 2018, it is highly recommended to favor terracotta objects or jewelry whose colors are related to the Earth element, such as yellow or brown sphalerite, or even bracelets in sienna color. However, one should remember along the course of 2018 to avoid using red as a garment or precious stone (cherry and pink topaz, red ruby and red diamond, garnet, rhodochrosite ...), so as not to fan the Fire already there in quantity and in direct conflict with Metal (main element of the sign of the Rooster).
Apart from the conflicting nature of the year made possible by the dominant and conflicting nature of Metal and Fire, positive currents do exist all along 2018, even if they don’t apply to all 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac.
Politics, Entertainment and Technology
Fire melting Metal, the resulting electric and hot atmosphere will be a source of tension to account for. We should therefore expect an intensification of virile (and sterile) demonstrations on the part of leaders of countries or big corporations. Migration caused by wars and climate changeshall contribute to degrade an already heavy if not unstable political climate.
New celebrities in the entertainment and music industry will emerge in greater numbers, thanx to the ever growing expansion of the Internet. Capable of lighting up nightclubs all over the world, from Ibiza to Goa, these "handkerchief" pop stars should unfortunately loose their sudden fame less than a year later.
The first A.I. youtube pop star could very like emerge from Japan in 2018, live streaming 24/24 3D crazy fan database generated K. pop videos.
Jobs, Business and Investment
A year of the Rooster is often marked by brilliant success for those who have endured with patience the draining and often solitary build-up of a business project.
Many people wish during this particular year to change their professional environment. But these desires of mobility shall not materialize for everyone, for all the Chinese zodiac signs aren’t able to handle all at one the stress and be sufficiently creative and organized to overcome the failures they will have to face along their way up to success.
