According to Master Jing from the Jing Mei FengShui Enterprise in Kuala Lumpur said everyone must brace themselves for an aggressive and "rebellious" year.
“It is going to be quite challenging because there are some missing 'elements' this year,” warns Master Jing.
He explained that in Chinese philosophy, each animal is borne by elements such as Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth. Master Jing said the five elements are related to each other and play an integral part in keeping a healthy balance.

Unfortunately, there will be an absence of the Water and Earth elements this year, creating some "ripples of difficulties" for people whose animal signs are carrying these two elements.
"Without the Water element, the Wood Horse will be very strong and since wood is an integral part for making fire, there’s a possibility for it to burn out of control,” Jing said.
He added that the lack of earthelement (earth represents intelligence)will also cause some people to make bad business decisions.
Looking at the brighter side, despite these downsides the FengShuiMaster assured Malaysians that there will be many fruitful opportunities in the beginning of the year.
“The metal element is present in the early part of the year. It represents prosperity and wealth and this means there will be an abundance of opportunities for money-making,” Jing said.
“The first six months will open a lot of doors for monetary gains and if you have any plans to expand your business, this will be the best time to do so,” he said.
Master Jing advised that the second half of the year will be bumpy especially for those thinking of clinching big business deals. This is because at that time,the fire energy will spark and it will start to take control of things.

Not all animal signs will benefit from the Wood Horse and Master Yew from FengShui Consultancy in JalanPudu told us why. He gave a brief prediction for the 12 animal signs as well as their luck-ranking for the year.
"In 2014, the Wood Horse will bring fire and produce a lot of energy that can project happiness and energy. However, some individualsmay face difficulties," said Yew.
Starting with the first animal in Chinese calendar, Master Yew said 2014 may not be a good year for Rat people. Although Rats are hardworking, sentimental and positive people, there is a clash between Rat and Horse.
"It is a bad year to start new business for Rat people but a good time to plan for change and self-improvement. The general luck for the rat is ranked at the last spot out of 12 animals".
"Ox people are hardworking, honest, practical with a strong sense of responsibility and endurance. This is a good year for the Ox. There are many lucky stars in their destiny. It is a good year to start new ventures and to go on long journeys.
"However, be aware as there will be some people plotting bad agendas behind your back," he said, adding that the Ox’s luck ranks at 2.
Master Yew said although 2014 is just an average year for those born in the year of the Tiger.

"Snake people are delicate, intelligent, serious and responsible. They have had a series of problems and difficulties last year but this is a turn-around year for them".
Ranked 10 at the luck scale, Master Yew said 2014 is a good time for the Snake people in terms of work, relationship and social life. It is also a good year for travelling and time to make significant changes.
Master Yew explained that 2014 will not be a smooth road for people born in the year of the Horse. The Horse’s journey can be quite atesting one so they are advised to stay calm throughout the year.

"The gentle and loving Sheep people can expect a very promising year. This will be a great year to start new businesses and a good year for relationship and financial gain. The Sheep is surrounded by good luck and it ranks at the top of the pact," Master Yew said.
The FengShuiMaster said the strong force of fire by the Horse may bring some pressure and trouble for the Rooster. Those born in the Rooster year need to work hard and emphasise on their goals or else they will suffer both financially and emotionally. The Rooster’s luck is ranked at 6.
"I like dogs and Dog people are loyal and friendly. Dog and Horse have a harmonious relationship. Although it's a good year for Dog and they are surrounded by a number of lucky stars, there seems to be some strong unlucky stars. In general, a Dog's luck is both good and bad.

FengShui is merely guidance to help individuals strike a balance between the good and bad energy a year possesses.
For founder and Group Chief Creative Director of A Cut Above Salons and Academies of MalaysiaDatin Winnie LooFengShui acts as a guide and it is one’s prerogative to believe in it or not.
“Master FengShuiDatuk Joey Yap told me that this year will be a good year, though there are some obstacles ahead in my path, I'll be able to overcome them," she said.

"Although this is a good year for me I won’t let FengShui dictates my life fully", said Winnie.
The successful entrepreneur said although she doesn't believe in FengShuia hundred percent, but she still considers it in guiding her life.

"I take whatever advice I get on certain things and dates in the year that are good for me, but I'm not the type to buy paraphernalia.”
Contrary to popular belief, not everyone in the Chinese community goes to a FengShui Master for predictions, as told by Francis Yong, a 57-year-old businessman.
"I get my predictions from an astrologer, Master G. Suresh. You see, astrology is a part of science, and I find that there are many similarities between FengShui and astrology. Mostly it's about positive and negative energy."
"Astrologers will ask the same questions as FengShui masters, such as the birth day, time, year and location before giving their predictions," he said.
"All I can say is this year there is quite a lot of negative energy, therefore I have to be careful especially in the second half of the year."
