When the Water is your lucky element

  • Pig and Rat are your lucky animals.
  • Years of Pig and Rat are your lucky years.
  • Months of Pig and Rat are your lucky Months.
  • Winter or cold season is your lucky season.
  • 21:00 – 1:00 (9 P.M. to 1 A.M.) are your lucky hours.
  • Northern direction is your lucky place.
  • It will bring you luck to live a house that faces north.
  • You should choose a bedroom on the north side of the house.
  • When arranging the office desk, you should sit facing the north.
  • A metal or water bed is good for you.
  • Your lucky color is black.
  • You should wear black often.
  • You should use a black system (dark colors) for decorating your house.
  • Take care of your excretory system – also your Kidneys, Bones and Ears.
  • Wearing jewelry will bring you luck.

For Our Last Night Without the Booboojingjing
