If the entrance of a house falls in the southwest corner it leads to disharmony both in business and marriage

Q: The exit gate of our building is in the southwest corner. However, several residents and friends have objected to it. Now, at this stage, the position of the gate cannot be changed. Please let me have your opinion and suggestion.

A: Earth is the element which symbolises stability in life, be it in business or marriage. As a result, if the entrance falls in the southwest corner, it disturbs the stable earth energy.

If there is no way for any kind of rearrangement then I would suggest that you create a heavy rockery made of weighty round boulders and decorate it with plants. Highlight this corner with lights as the fire element helps in strengthening the earth element.

Q: According to the Chinese calendar, my ruling animal is the Dragon as I was born in the year of the Dragon. Could you please forecast how this year will go for me or what steps should I take in order to make 2007 a prosperous and successful year?

(Your tip last year to keep a picture of a rabbit in the workplace proved extremely beneficial.)

S. Kakoty

A: This year, being the Year of the Pig, does not clash with your animal sign, Dragon. So I guess this year will go just fine for you. For more details, I would need your date and time of birth.

Q: I am a regular reader of your column in The Telegraph. I also try to follow all your instructions. I was born on March 5, 1973 at 6.45 pm. Please let me know when I will get married. I would also like to know the animal sign and details of the elements of a life partner compatible for me.

Sumanta P.

A: According to my analysis, you are a weak metal person born in the season of spring when the wood element is strong. Moreover, you have the element wood in excess, which could give you problems with your spine, limbs and liver.

From this year you have entered the phase of water that will nourish the wood element. The element wood also represents your wife.

This being the Year of the Pig combines with the Tiger in your chart that creates extra wood. As a result, marriage seems to be on the cards. As for your partner, I would suggest a strong metal or an earth person who could strengthen your weak self-metal element.

Just keep in mind that any person born in 1979 and belonging to the Ram sign will not be a compatible partner, the reason being that the Ox and Ram directly clash with each other and could bring disharmony in married life.
