The first issue of each year is always our most tricky to put together because this is the most anticipated issue, the one when everyone awaits their personalized luck predictions, analysis of the new annual chart, the forecast for the year and so forth. We always seem short of space and fitting everything in was becoming a real challenge! So this year we decided to do things a little differently by expanding the magazine and bringing you a bumper issue!!! We are also helped by technology because our iPad and digital editions allow us to be more generous with our content. If you want to know more, click online and get the whole lot!

As well as our usual Chinese New Year specials, we are making this issue a Wealth Issue because although many feng shui masters are predicting a dire chart for the coming year, it is actually a goldmine of wealth and prosperity if you know how to tap it. There is good money to be made and the Rabbit IS INDEED Golden, but you need to know how! Wealth comes in a hidden form and to unlock this wealth you need to unlock resource luck and successfully re-balance the lopsided chart.

In fact, while the sweeping general outlook may look quite negative, 10 of the 12 animal signs have very good personalized indications, while the remaining 2 (Rabbit and Rooster) have afflictions that can be overcome with the right remedies. Lillian Too will explain all of this in depth during her Extravaganza Roadshow 2011, which kickstarted on Dec 19th 2010 in Tahiti, and continues in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday Jan 9th, followed by Singapore on Sunday Jan 16th, Penang on Sunday Jan 23rd and finally Las Vegas, USA over the weekend of 29th & 30th Jan. Book your tickets online at www.wofs. com if you haven’t done so already!

Recent events in the feng shui world saw Lillian address delegates of the International Feng Shui Convention as keynote speaker for the third year running and in her own words she recaps the event, highlighting some of the key ideas raised by speakers of renown, including Prof. Dr Patrick Ho, Grandmaster Raymond Lo, Grandmaster Tan Khoon Yong and Grandmaster Yap Cheng Hai. Meanwhile in Europe, Marc-Olivier Rinchart and Johann Bauer of WOFS Belgium expand their business with a foothold in France, joining forces with Irene Lebeurier and Christophe Lorin. Congratulations and wishing you lots of success with WOFS France!

Our lead feature this issue are some of today’s most beautiful Queens and Queens-to-be in the world, the latest of which is the refreshingly attractive Kate Middleton, who will become Princess Catherine in April of this year. We read the faces and birth charts of Princess Mary of Denmark, Princess Letizia of Spain, Princess Masako of Japan and the breathtakingly beautiful Queen Rania of Jordan to see what it is about them that fate picked them from relative obscurity to become the Royal icons they are today.

We also feature the Ambani brothers of the Reliance group, easily India’s wealthiest family, and the 27-storey Sky Palace recently erected by Mukesh Ambani, the elder brother. Antilla Tower is the private residence of Mukesh, with garage space to house 160 cars in the lower floors, while the family live in luxurious splendour on the upper floors, all of this in downtown Mumbai. So does he have the karma to live in such a palace, or will it result in the tall poppy syndrome?

And not forgetting our Chinese New Year specials, because we believe that getting things right during the first 15 days of the Lunar New Year is vital if the coming year is going to go well for you. Check out our articles on what to do (and what not to do) during each of the first 15 days, the Paht Chee chart of 2011, inviting in the God of Happiness, appeasing the Tai Sui of this year, and the influence of the 24 Mountain stars and what it all means.

There’s lots more in here so get reading, and wishing you all a very happy and prosperous New Year and year to come!
