The animal zodiacs in the Chinese calendar actually don't represent the real animals. They were chosen as it was easy for uneducated farmers during ancient times to remember the months to do their planting and harvesting. So there's no need to wear pig accessories (because it combines with Tiger) or avoid real monkeys (because it clashes with Tiger). Wishing everyone a year of fruitful learning and improvement this year!

Yin and Yang in Chinese philosophy explained simply.

Important to take action, even when you have the luck!

You might have heard of some names but they are part of the Five Arts in Chinese culture that have been practiced since ancient times. How many do you know or practice? I personally have practiced Qigong and Taichi for a short period of time before I pick up yoga. I also visited TCM practitioners and have been poked with needles many times. I also learnt Bazi and Qimen (I only do readings for family and close friends at the moment😅).

Just realised that I forgot to upload this last month, so here it is!

This a topic requested by my friend, hope everyone understand more about what is actually the Grand Duke or what we call Taisui 太岁 in Chinese.

PSA: This custom only came up a few years ago and only practiced in Singapore. It makes use of people's desire to want to get money easily and promote their auspicious timing (and services) at the same time. There is no harm in this but this year, it's best not to practice this fake fengshui advise. Don’t spread COVID!

Forecast of 2021 from various masters whom I follow plus some of my interpretation of the year of the Metal Ox! Hope this was easy to understand!
