Auspicious ways to welcome the Year of the Rabbit

The Year of the Rabbit or Gui Mao Year is arriving on 22 January this year according to the International Institute of Tao Studies in Kuala Lumpur.

Five approaches based on Tao Studies are used to find out what the Year of the Rabbit will bring. These include Qi and Symbolic Implication of the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch, the Six Cylinder Theory, Numeric Implication and Theoretical Reasoning of Purple White Star, Implication of I-Ching Kua for the year and references from Zi Wei Numerology.

Gui is the Heavenly Stem, which is Water (black). Mao is the Earthly Branch which is Wood (green). There is Fire too (red). The Purple White Flying Star 4 manages at the Centre Court (green). Earth is lacking for this year.  Earth is about land, property and agriculture

Wood is dominant for next year, for any industry associated with wood will be in demand and do well. This includes palm oil, timber, furniture, education, and writing, among them.

For the smooth flow of qi, the lucky colours to wear will be green and yellow.
