If you read our predictions for the Year of the Snake, you are probably wondering what Feng Shui symbols should I display for maximum Heath, Prosperity and Luck during 2013. We are going to give you a few suggestions that will help enhance this year for you. Remember, you do not have to always display Feng Shui symbols for others to see. You just have to place them in an area you know where they are and affirm to yourself why you are placing that item there. It is also important for you to recognize they are there when you walk by and affirm the reason/s you placed the symbol there. Most of the time I do this silently in my thoughts. Other times, I say it out loud just because I need extra help or guidance during that particular time.
Let's review what this year means to us: "....This is a year of water Snake, and all things will be possible. Saving money and being thrifty should be your top priorities. Delusion and deception are common in the year of the water Snake. Stay alert! To gain the greatest benefits from this year, you must control spending and use your talents wisely. If you are planning to get married or to begin a business partnership, be sure to thoroughly investigate the other person's finances and background before you legalize the alliance..." www.thecrabbynookgarden.com/yearofsnake.html

TERRACOTTA WARRIORS of CHINA - A great guardian for your garden, office and home.
TerraCotta is a natural earth element and will absorb negative energies.
One of the most famous archaeological sites in the world is the buried army of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. The Qin Dynasty came to an end in 206 B.C. In 1974, farmers made this extraordinary discovery while drilling wells in search of water near the Chinese city of Xi'an. Since that time, millions of visitors have marveled at the ongoing excavation. Each of the over 8,000 life-sized terra-cotta figures, organized in ranks of infantry, cavalry and charioteers, are modeled with distinctive features and are thought to be portraits of actual, living soldiers from that time.
Millions of visitors to Xi'an, China have marveled at the excavation of the 2,000-year-old terracotta armies of China's first emperor Qin Shi Huang. More than 8,000 life-size figures of soldiers and horses were buried to protect the emperor's tomb. Even more remarkable is that this multitude of statues are each modeled with unique, distinctive features and are thought to be portraits of living figures. The emperor Qin Shi Huang would not have liked to hear it, but reduced down to a more modest size, some of his loyal soldiers turn out to make evocative table and desktop decorations, guarding personal documents particularly effectively.

A mixed year. The Rat has to be very careful in making investments or
important decisions. A big illness or some loss of money will cast gloom
over him. His lick will turn for the better toward the end of the year
and he may be able to recoup some losses.
Good times predicted for the Ox person. He will find it easy to make
money. Things are all within his reach this year. On the darker side, he
may suffer from a misunderstanding with some associate or find that
some friend betrays his confidence. All his problems can be resolved if
he is open to discussion.
A fair year for the Tiger. No large losses or gains foreseen and his
life could be tranquil if he is cautious enough not to get caught up in
the affairs of others. His progress will be steady and his illnesses
minor. Most of his disappointments will come from persons of the
opposite sex.
Not
much tangible progress for the Rabbit during this year. He may have to
travel or be faced with difficulties from several directions. A change
of residence or career is also indicated as he tries to consolidate or
better his current position. He could also find less time to spend with
his family or be faced with many unplanned expenses.
A lucky year for the Dragon's business endeavors. His plans still go
smoothly although he meets minor opposition. He may have some personal
or romantic problems as home life and love life are neglected by him.
A busy, involved year that brings taxing demands on the Horse's time
and energy. Difficulties come from partners or friends and delays are
caused by unseen obstacles. He will find support in his family but
cannot expect a great deal of achievement in spite of all his efforts.
A moderately happy year as the Monkey receives assistance from friends
or support from his superiors. Good times are in store although there
are some disputes at home. A year in which he must hold his tongue and
avoid confrontation at all costs.
Still a fortunate year for the Rooster, as some progress is indicated
and he is lucky enough to retain his good position. No large monetary
gains foreseen this year, although he will be able to curtail his losses
to an admirable degree. Freak accidents or malicious rumors are also
likely this year and he should not take long or unnecessary journeys.
A very good year. The Dog will still have to work hard but he will
receive due recognition of his efforts. He will be lucky in his business
investments and will have the support of the right people. A year for
him to take things easy and enjoy his family life more. He will also
benefit a lot from good advice or tops given to him at this time.
A hectic and uneasy time for the Boar, although moderate success can be
expected. He will be occupied with travel, aggressive speculation and
joint ventures. He will also receive some sad news and have problem with
the opposite sex. Setbacks will result mainly from overspending or
extravagance.
