Year of the Water Snake a good year for money for Pinoys, says feng shui expert

While the Chinese New Year hasn't officially started yet, many have already welcomed what the Chinese calendar says is the Year of the Water Snake.

According to feng shui expert Tony Suvega on a report on GMA News TV's "Kape at Balita" on Monday, it's bound to be a good year moneywise for Filipinos based on the Philippines' location on the Lo Shu grid, a magic square used by feng shui astrologers and geomancers.

Suvega also said, however, that people still have to take caution this year because it is specifically the Year of the Black Female Water Snake.

"Kapag ang ahas ay itim ay makamandag. Kasi sensitibo 'yung snake eh. Makarinig lang ng sound 'yung snake aarangkada 'yan, may gagawing pangit 'yan," he said, though he noted that snakes are important because they represent passive money.

Suvega also cautioned those born between the years 1984 and 2004 against potential misfortune.

"Mayroon silang sakuna o mga bayolenteng situation na kinalaman sa bakal, so bakal pwedeng sasakyan, baril, bala, ganun," he said.

Still, the feng shui expert noted that these predictions are only a guide, and ultimately, it is up to the person to control his or her life.

Meanwhile, Maxima Tiu, another feng shui expert, said that the water snake can bring on disputes in politics, and, as in every year, floods.

"Ang snake, ang characteristic niya is tahimik siya, pero pagna-attack 'yan, grabe tayo. Water snake din siya, maybe sa mga government, may problema din sa mga politics, away-away, ganun. Tapos kasi water snake siya, baha din eh, may calamity din tayo," she said in a report on GMA News' "Unang Balita" on Monday.

"Basta we think positive, gaganda ang buhay natin," she added.
