In the year of Ox, the world is in a fluid situation, fraught with uncertainty. Aside from COVID-19 and political unrest (such as the Hong Kong anti-extradition law movement), we will see turmoil, man-made disasters and natural disasters this year.

This is the 31st year that I have been working on Feng Shui (Chinese geomancy). Reviewing the past predictions, I can accurately anticipate what will happen in the coming year.

The economy is staggering from crisis to crisis, and all walks of life are going through tough times as competition becomes more intense.

However, if we do our best, follow the rules and strive for excellence, we can turn risk into opportunity. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel and make justice prevail. As the new year begins, let us also start anew.

The political situation is still in a state of confusion as countries advance their national interests by subjugating others. It seems we will reach a relatively harmonious stage but suspicion among countries will still exist.

There is a Chinese saying that goes, “A mountain cannot hide two tigers.”

The prestige of the powerful United States has been challenged by China; in the end, neither side gained. In addition, some traditional international systems and national agreements have been destroyed. This will continue, but the situation will smooth out as both countries seek a win-win situation by end of 2022.

China will further open up to the world in several industries, such as finance, insurance, retail and automobile. Although China will receive criticism for its Belt and Road Initiative (a global infrastructure development strategy adopted by the Chinese government in 2013 to invest in nearly 70 countries and international organizations to support economic connectivity), the initiative will facilitate China’s gradual path to becoming an international leader.

There will be many international disputes in the year of Ox. Thus, operation costs will rise, stocks will go up and down, and interest increase. People’s lives will be filled with untold suffering. It can be seen from the stars that a male leader, celebrity or artist will be involved in a serious accident or even scandal.

The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, will lose his standing and fall from grace.

In 2019, I predicted that there will be serious flu, virus, fire accident in 2020. Unfortunately, it all became true.

In 2021, please also be aware of severe influenza, natural disasters, as well as war between the Middle East and Africa.
