MANILA – A Hong Kong-based feng shui expert has revealed his predictions for various animal zodiac signs as Chinese New Year nears.

The Year of the Wooden Horse will commence at 12:01 a.m. on January 31, although Joseph Chau Kam Shing stressed that the formal duration of the year will be from February 4 at 6:03 a.m. to February 3, 2015.

While not all signs are “lucky” this 2014, Chau said these can be reversed or enhanced through the use of charms. Some of them include treasure buckets for wealth, a jade dragonhead fish for career, a jade master protection pendant for safety, longevity coins for health, and a Mandarin duck for romance and relationships.

For overall luck, one may try the benefactor jade, he said.

In a press conference at the Mandarin Oriental Manila on Monday, Chau shared his 2014 forecast for each animal sign.

Here are his predictions:
