2020 is considered a year of new beginnings
and renewals – new opportunities, love and business or career
success. This is what the country’s feng
shui queen, Marites Allen, hinted at the press conference for the 15th
Marites Allen Philippine Feng Shui Convention held at Novotel Manila Araneta
City last October 9.
The Year of the Metal Rat is the year
that the Chinese Zodiac will have come full circle, with the Rat being the
first sign from the 12 animals cycle, and is seen to be a strong, prosperous,
and lucky year, and is a great year for founding and evolving. The years of the Rat are: 1912, 1924, 1936,
1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, and 2032.
“If you are
turning 60 years old next year, then you will complete the cycle of the
elements and animal signs. The last time
the Year of the Metal Rat occurred was in 1960,” Ms. Allen shared.

Looking Back
Ms. Allen started by doing a recap of the
happenings in 2019, the Year of the Earth Boar, as published in the feng shui
booklet for 2019 distributed at the convention last November 2018. “One of the things I indicated here was the outlook
for career, that women who are leading a certain country will be challenged and
could eventually leave their post.
Examples were Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom and Angela Merkel of Germany. And it did happen as Prime Minister May
resigned in June of this year while Merkel left her party in December of 2018.
This is just one of the forecasts revealed at the 2018 convention,” she
shared. “Forecast on business and
economy, anything to do with restaurants, food, commissary or human consumption
business will prosper that’s why you see a lot of restaurants and food business
in the malls. Also healing business such
as yoga prospered.”
Ms. Allen continues, ”If you are born in
the DAY or YEAR of the SNAKE then you are in CONFLICT with the YEAR of the
BOAR.” She cited famous personalities who passed away this year such as Gina
Lopez and Eddie Garcia because both were born in the year of the Snake while
Amalia Fuentes, who was born in the year of the Dragon, but her sign was in
conflict with the month of October, which is the month of the Dog. “This is the
reason why praying, doing charity work and wearing your pampaswerte and pangontra
is very important,” she adds.
Moving Forward
One important feature of the destiny
chart is the so-called Flying Stars or the lucky and unlucky sectors in one’s
home or office that are associated with the various animal signs. For 2020, the lucky sectors are Southeast,
for windfall of good fortune; Northeast, for victory; Northwest, for financial
wealth; West for prosperity; and Southwest for romance and travel
opportunities. On the other hand, the
unlucky sectors are East, for misfortune; South, for illness; the Center, for
robbery or loss; and North, for arguments.
The lucky signs for 2020 are Dragon,
Snake, Tiger, Ox, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Boar while the unlucky signs
are Rabbit, Rat and Horse. Ms. Allen
cautions those born in the year which clashes with the animal sign of 2020, “If
you are BORN in the DAY or YEAR of the HORSE, then you are in CONFLICT with the
Year of the RAT. Another warning that
I’d like to say because the pillar of 2020 is an Ox, those of you born in the
DAY or YEAR of the SHEEP will be challenged.”

Well attended by media and blogger
guests, the press conference was a preview to the November 24 feng shui
convention where, Ms. Allen will discuss forecasts on love, health, wealth, and
career; ways on how to enhance the lucky sectors and downplay the unlucky
sectors; meanings of special numbers; and how to tap your guide spirit. She will also share how to have miracle
mornings; how to create a wealth vase for 2020; how to do a vision board for
2020 and beyond; and reveal what’s on your destiny chart for the Year of the
Metal Rat.
“It is very important that we create
something for a new beginning. A wealth
vase is actually a combination of auspicious symbols that you can put together
in a vase and bring home before the Chinese New Year, so it’s good to have that
before the year ends,” Ms. Allen shares.
Another must-have is the vision board to which she recounts, “When I
started learning and doing feng shui in 2004, I also started my vision
boards. Looking back now at the photos
of people I wanted to meet along the way, I have met
most of them. And those photos of
material things, like a kitchen or a
house, I have achieved them. So I’d like
to teach you how to do vision boards on November 24.”
The press conference also served as the launching of Marites
Allen’s 2020 horoscope books, Feng Shui Almanac and Planner, the 2020 Feng Shui
App, and the Frigga e-commerce website.
