"Worldwide, there will be many natural disaster." Christine Hayes, psychic

GENERAL

“Worldwide, there will be many natural disasters. Some will be a surprise because these are not places that have erratic earth movements: Europe and North America.” – Christine Hayes, psychic

“The Chinese calendar year goes on a 60-year cycle. This means that we are in the same fire dog year as in 1945, when WWII ended and the world powers were concentrating on a new world order. There will be more cooperation among countries in 2006, aimed at setting up a more effective world order for the protection of global interests, such as solving environmental issues, global warming, religious differences, and the prevention of epidemics.” - Raymond Lo, feng shui master

“This is the year of the ‘fire dog,’ in which people tend to be hot-tempered and violent, resulting in much conflict and continuing war - specifically in Iraq. People will be disturbed and agitated. There will be many arguments, complaints and traffic accidents, particularly in the third, fifth and ninth months.” - Chung King-kwon, geomancer

“This is a very karmic year and large natural disasters put the focus of humanity onto people as opposed to creating wealth or new ventures.” - David Taylor, psychic

HONG KONG

“June is the luckiest month. There will be great joy and celebration for the government, a victory of some significant value. August, though, will see a major storm or typhoon which will be quite destructive.” - Hayes

“Chicken, pork and beef will be sources of sickness, but bird flu will not be prominent since everyone is on guard. Take extra care of your health from May 5 to August 6. The heat will add to the vicious ‘Fire’ that dominates the world this year.” - Jackson Yuen, geomancer
