a Rooster and this year is an incredibly brilliant year for all born under this sign!
It’s AWARDS season and we have been following all of it on television. After watching the 54th GRAMMYS we felt we just had to also talk about Adele. After all, she dominated this year’s MUSIC AWARDS picking up all six awards she was nominated for, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Pop Single of the Year. T e mood during the Grammys was dimmed by the premature passing of Whitney Houston - someone whose songs have inspired generations - but her music lives on, with Jennifer Hudson singing a heart-wrenching tribute to her during the Grammy Awards show.
With feng shui friends at the Singapore Extravaganza.

We feature Coco Chanel, and hope readers will be as surprised as we were by how much she was inspired by powerful Oriental symbols. We take a look at her home at 31 Rue Cambon which shows how this legendary lady o f fashion surrounded herself with feng shui protective energy and plenty of good luck symbols. Then there’s the incomparable Madonna. Fifty years in the business and still going strong. T is Queen of Pop continues to mesmerize despite strong competition from the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Nicky Minaj. It is interesting that Madonna’s Superbowl performance this year was singlehandedly as spectacular as the multi-artistes performance of the 54th Grammys. Madonna is the best example of Ren luck – luck generated by herself and her own hard work. But wait... neither her latest single nor her new single has done well – some have even described it as her fi rst fl op! She is a DOG and this year is astrologically a diffi cult year for her; nevertheless she is chugging along full steam ahead, launching her new album and planning her new tour. We shall follow her progress with interest to see how she defeats the forecasts for her sign.
Probably the most awesome of all however is Sheryl Sandberg, FACEBOOK’s “secret weapon”, headhunted by its erstwhile founder Mark Zuckerberg from Google in 2008! She is getting set to be Silicon Valley’s fi rst self-made female Internet Billionaire as Facebook prepares to go for a public listing.

T e Dragon Year so far, has not been easy. T is is something that seems typical of every Dragon Year. What the Chinese believe is that because the Dragon is so powerful, if one does not have the karma to live through a Dragon Year, it is diffi cult for them. T ey fall sick more easily, get into trouble, discover tough truths and generally see things happening that basically “transform” their lives, or their outlook... very trying indeed and if it has happened to you, maybe write and share with us... but the positive side of a Dragon Year is that truly astounding success is not just possible but also highly probable. But only the strong will prevail. T erefore, strong willpower and a positive mindset are the best ways to get the most from this year. Of course don’t forget your amulets, talismans and good luck enhancers to ensure the mighty Dragon is on your side.
