Dear friends,

February the 4th 2020 starts

the Chinese New Year of the Rat

To turn the energies of this year to our benefit, to success and to happiness, it’s important to watch a few rules, take some precautions and be ready for changes.

1. Protective measures for your home and office:


 Prepare a sheer or blue/green colored glass (any size) with 6 Pennies (or copper coins) and 1 Nickel (or any silver colored coin), cover the coins with kosher/coarse salt, add some water and put it in the East of your home and office.

You may hide it behind some objects, but don’t close or touch it till February 2021, as it will absorb a lot of negative energy throughout the year.

Throw away the old glass of 2019 which was in the Southwest. 

 The East is also the right place to put the Zohar books in 2020.

 If there is more than one floor, do all these corrections on each floor.

If your desk or your bed is in the East, try to change the direction and the position.

The best advice for the energies in the East is, to avoid this specific room or at least keep it as quiet as possible.


Against health issues: hang a Chinese Coin string in the South and a Kabbalistic Health Blessing.

This is especially important if your bed is pointing into these directions. 

 Put any fresh plant in the South-west of your home/office against betrayal.

2. If your home or office faces to East or South:
 Don’t start any renovations this year, which also applies to any South- and East part in each room.

 If your entrance is towards the East, hang a metal wind chime there. Best are the metal ones with 6 tubes.

3. For all born in the years of Rat, Horse and Rabbit:

It will be a year for you of challenges, activities, travelling and changes.


 Travel a lot, but be careful, especially in the Rabbit-, Horse- and Rat months and days (see our Feng Shui Calendar).

 Watch your health.

 Take the traditional Chinese protection for this year: The OX charm.
