There are lot of informations embedded in the poem (please don't ask me to translate, I'm not a Fung Shui master), mainly are on season informations.

Here I show you how to read the chart. But before that, the man is call Mang God <芒神> and the cow is Spring Cow <春牛>.

1. The Mang God is standing at the right of the spring Cow.


• It's mean the beginning of spring is earlier than the new year.



2. The Mang God is wearing slipper.


• It's mean this year will be a less raining year.



3. The poem on the top right - [三冬雨水多，九夏禾無蹤]


• It's mean quantity of rain will be more on winter (month 3rd) and less on summer (month 9th), it is adnormal.



4. The poem on the top left - [人民多瘧瘴，六畜盡遭迍]


• It's mean there will be epidemic happen on humans and animals.

According to NASA, there will be El Nino effect for the year 2007. So whether this year is a summer year or a raining year, only time will tell. I will let you know by next year.

Some how, both also predict a serious pandemic this year, I really hope they all wrongly predict it.

Once again happy Chinese New Year to all.
