MANILA, Philippines—Romance, which means more happiness and celebrations, is the ruling star of the Year of the Fire Rooster. So, unlike last year, this year is a good time to have a baby or get married, says feng shui expert Princess Lim Fernandez.
“Since it is a fire year, people will be high-blood, but when it comes to love life, they will be hot for love,” adds another feng shui guru, Aldric Dalumpines.
Wearing an arowana ring on the forefinger of your left hand, with the head facing up, makes your love life “hot as ever before,” Dalumpines claims.
If you want to get the upper hand in the marital bed, sleep at the left side of your spouse, he adds.
Magpies, says Fernandez, are the feng shui item of the year if you are looking for love. She also recommends having a haircut to leave behind past loves and breakups in the Year of the Fire Monkey.
