How To Know If My Car Is Accident Prone?

Lately, a friend of mine shared with me a formulae to check if a vehicle is accident-prone and which parts of the vehicle are likely to be damaged. Let me simplify it and share it here with our readers.

Steps

1) Group your car plate number into 2 groups
eg. Car Plate XXX9407X, 94 is first group & 07 is second group.
If your car plate no
- has 3 digits, add '0' as the prefix , eg, 744 => 0744
- has 2 digits, add '00' as the prefix , eg, 74 => 0074

- has 1 digits, add '000' as the prefix , eg, 4 => 0004

2) Add up numbers in each group so that it reduces to a single digit
eg. For XXX9407X,
- Group 1 : 9 & 4 --> 9+4 = 13 --> 1+3 = 4
- Group 2 : 0 & 7 --> 0+7 = 7

3) Assign an element to each group
Group Number : Element

- 1,2 : Wood
- 3,4 : Fire
- 5,6 : Earth
- 7,8 : Metal
- 9,0 :Water

eg . Group 1 is 4, therefore belongs to Fire
Group 2 is 7, therefore belongs to Metal

4) Accident-Prone? Check if the Group 1 and Group 2 elements are in conflict
- Wood conflicts with Metal, Earth
- Fire conflicts with Metal, Water
- Earth conflicts with Wood, Water
- Metal conflicts with Fire, Wood
- Water conflicts with Earth, Fire

eg. Group 1 is Fire, and Group 2 is Metal...Therefore both Groups are in conflict
=> this vehicle with car plate number xxx9407x is accident-prone

5) Determine parts of car which are more prone to accident.
- Base on Group 1 and Group 2 numbers, refer to follow diagram


REAR

FRONT

- eg Group 1 number is 4 & Group 2 number is 7, the damage prone areas are
sectors represented by number 4 and 7 which are rear right and centre left respectively.

This formulae has been tested on many cases and so far accuracy rate is around 70% to 80%. Of course, other factors like the colour of the vehicle, the driver etc play a part. Have fun trying. But most importantly, be a safe driver!

Picking Auspicious Dates - What It Means To You?

One regular yet important aspect of Chinese custom when it comes to important events is to select an auspicious date. May it be marriage, moving house, opening of business to burial and praying to the Gods and ancestors, most Chinese will want to avoid a date with conflicting and negative influence on the intended activities. So to pick an auspicious date has increasingly become a norm since the Shang dynasty.

As simple as it seems, choosing an auspicious date to most commoners would means looking up a Chinese almanac. Is this sufficient? Let's explore.

First of all, when we look into the almanac, it contains alot of information, and it varies from author to author. The general information that most almanacs will present are the daily heavenly and earthly elements, the flying star, the auspicious and hostile stars, the duty cycle, the clashing zodiac, the activities that can be carried out and should be avoided, the auspicious and inauspicious hours etc.

Have you ever consider, if the almanac states today is an auspicious day for marriage, does it apply to every couple who plan to hold their wedding today?

Fundamentally, choosing a good date involves incorporating the Heaven, Earth and Human factors. The almanac generally provides information on Heaven luck (dominating energies) and Earth luck (ie the types of suitable activities and directions/sectors to hold the activities).

Like tuning a musical instrument, all parts have to be synchronised before the instrument can play beautiful music. Without aligning the Human factor to the Heaven and Earth factors, an auspicious date on the almanac could be a day of trouble brewing for the person involved. Typically, geomancers and date selection specialists will consider the birthdate and time of the individual involved. The rationale behind is to determine the dominating energy that individual carries and ensure that the selected day's energies are complementary to his.

So next time if you are choosing a date for important event, get expert's advice. A good start is the foundation for success!
