In my opinion, I would say that the three most notable events to date in Metal Rabbit Year 2011 are the revolutionary wave of civil uprisings in the Arab world (also known as Arab Spring or Arab Awakening), the catastrophic earthquake in eastern Japan that triggered powerful tsunami waves and subsequently the Fukushima nuclear crisis, and the intensification of the European sovereign debt crisis that causes stock prices to tumble in worldwide exchanges. ProsperTimes Jan 2011 issue on Rabbit Year Predictions has hinted and warned our readers on continuing conflicts, stock markets losing steam in autumn, regulatory cooling measures on sizzling hot property market, water-related disasters, abundant rainwater, floods, etc. As we await the awakening of the Water Dragon, the fifth animal in the Chinese zodiac, this issue of ProsperTimes brings you some insights and snippets on what lies in store for us in the coming year. Will we witness a calmer and more harmonious 2012? How is the stock market outlook and will the property prices rise further? Read on to find out more.

In April 1952, the Treaty of Peace with Japan (also known as the Treaty of San Francisco) came into effect and brought the Second World War to an end officially. However, the world wasnt as peaceful as we had hoped. Animosity was of a different context and an arms race seemed inevitable at that time.

Dog, Dragon, Rabbit or Ox have to be especially cautious. A clash often results in more changes or life developments in that year and it also implies more challenges and there could be health related issues as well. It is therefore recommended for people born in these years, except for people born in the Year of Rabbit, to carry a Rooster pendant so as to alleviate the negative effects of the clash. People born in the Year of Rabbit may carry a Rat pendant instead.

Health Matters
Yang Water ren, generally, is associated with the bladder, and Yang Earth chen is associated with the spleen. People who are born in the Year of Dog (especially in 1946 and 1958), have to take extra care of their health in Dragon Year 2012. Health problems related to the bladder, spleen, immune, digestive or urinary system could arise. Reduce your salt consumption and maintain a balanced and healthy diet. People are also more injury prone with higher likelihood of injuries inflicted on the chest, shoulder or ankle. Take care when you exercise and make it a good habit to do some stretching exercises first before your workout. Besides regular exercise (not strenuous exercises) to increase our metabolism rate and improve our immune system, sufficient intake of honey and ginseng may also help to reduce the imbalances in Dragon Year 2012.

Master Lim
takes the Economic Pulse for Dragon Year 2012
In the last couple of months, we heard it too often. Governments around the world are sounding alarm bells on global economic slowdown and pessimistic reports spanned across the front pages of every business publication. Is the economy really so bad in Dragon Year 2012? Is the property bubble going to burst? Will we see a ray of hope amid a sky of dark clouds? In conjunction with the launch of ProsperTimes publication on 2012 Dragon Year Predictions, Mas te r Lim of C hang C ons ul tanc y (www.ProsperWithFengShui.com) answers seriously tough questions on the economic health in Dragon Year 2012.
QUESTION 1: Master Lim is quite right in his 2011 predictions on the stock market. Which will then be the best month/months to invest in Dragon Year 2012? MASTER LIM: There could be some cause for cheer in the 2nd quarter or in mid-2012. The fire of optimism may help to inject some form of vitality into the lacklustre market. However, I do not expect the good times to be long lasting. Sense of fear will eventually sink in and kill off the optimistic mood. Dragon Year 2012 may be the time for you build on your stocks portfolio for middle- to longterm investment. Be extra cautious and do your homework if you decide to make some investments next year.
JANUARY, 2012
PAGE 16
QUESTION 4: What advice would you give to investors in Dragon Year 2012? MASTER LIM: 2012 is a Water Dragon year. As water does not have a definite shape and it represents flow, movement and fluidity, it implies rapid changes and unexpected turn of events. Investors should therefore be extra cautious and always be prepared for the unexpected. It would be good to perform risk assessment, plan for contingencies and ask yourself what-if questions so as to be ready to handle sudden changes and overcome challenging circumstances. The water may appear calm on the surface but there may be strong undercurrents. Things may not be as straightforward as you think in Water Dragon Year 2012. Do not make judgments or decisions based on surface information. Make a concerted effort to probe deeper and look at things from different perspectives. Water symbolises wisdom as well. To overcome the odds in 2012 Dragon Year, you have to rely on your wits and intelligence. Brutal force will not work to your favour. Just like water, which represents flow, movement and fluidity, you have to be adaptable, flexible and keep innovating to keep up with the demands of changing circumstances. You cannot afford to be stagnant. Get out of your comfort zone to explore new avenues and discover new ventures.
QUESTION 2: As a global recession looms, which countries are still expected to do relatively well in Dragon Year 2012? MASTER LIM: This is a tough question to answer as different countries have different economic structures and there are different yardsticks to measure economic performance. If we take the economic growth percentage as a guide to a countrys performance, I would expect China to continue its good run. I have a feeling that India will do well and some African countries show great promise too. Middle Eastern countries may feature a good showing as well. Japan may be in a more stable state in Dragon Year 2012 after a difficult time in Rabbit Year 2011. Although the European nations will still be troubled by the debt crisis, United States seems to be more resilient.

PROPERTY MARKET 2011 (PREDICTIONS VS ACTUAL)
Master Lim predicted: The property market for Rabbit Year 2011 will still be vibrant and active. Rising rate may have stabilised but prices may still be heading north though at a slower rate. Amid pressure from the ground, the authorities may then review the regulations that they have put in place and make some fine tuning to the existing ones, hoping again to cool down the sizzling hot industry. (Extracted from ProsperTimes Jan 2011 issue on Rabbit Year
Predictions)
QUESTION 6: So, is Dragon Year 2012 going to be a good year for businesses? MASTER LIM: There is a saying, during a crisis, there are opportunities too. It depends very much on the individual. If you are able to keep an open mind, be adaptive and flexible to changing environment, Dragon Year 2012 should generally be a good year for you. We must continue to innovate and churn out new ideas in order to keep up with unexpected circumstances. There are still opportunities up for grabs but you have to be more careful, study more in-depth information and take calculated risks along the way.

Employing elemental influences to predict the ups and downs of the stock market is a very basic form of analysis. Using this technique to forecast macro economic trends still has its own limitations. A more detailed and accurate analysis would be using the Four Pillars of Destiny or commonly tell if the changing stock market or property market is performing to the individuals advantage. The information presented in this section is far from conclusive and should not be used as a basis for speculation.

The situation could be aggravated in the month of June, when Star 1 (dominant star in that month) combines with Star 6 to form a water configuration. Star 6 also symbolises the father, the head of an organisation or elderly men. This group of people is likely to wield significant influence in Dragon Year 2012 and tends to join hands with young people (especially young men) to attain favourable results. People, who belong to this group, should take extra care of their health and be mindful of aliments or illnesses related to the lungs and intestines.

For Dragon Year 2012, the most auspicious sector is the West. To activate the good energies, a lamp can be placed in this sector of the house. Placing a water feature and amethyst crystals in this sector can bring about prosperity and unexpected wealth! Another auspicious direction is the Northeast. Installing a hi-fi system or TV in this sector can activate the positive energies.
