Each Lunar New Year, people all over Richmond are excited to know what is predicted for the next 12 months.

World-renowned Feng Shui teacher Jerry King, also known as the “White Dragon,” offers a curated prediction on what the Year of the Tiger has in store. King is an expert on various forms of divination including the Four Pillars of Destiny, Plum Blossom, and Qi Men Dun Jia.

He is also a proud hockey dad whose three sons were a part of the Richmond Jets program and have since graduated to the Hockey Premier League. The family spends a lot of time together at local hockey facilities.

The Four Pillars of Destiny method uses a person’s birth year, month, and day to predict personality and life outcome. This technique requires advanced math including cylindrical arithmetic.

The Plum Blossom method uses the I Ching ancient Chinese divination text and numerology to predict the outcome of current events. The technique dates back to the Song Dynasty (960 to 1126 AD) when a scholar was startled by a rat and accidentally knocked over a vase which shattered and revealed a note inscribed with his name and the exact time the event took place. Intrigued by the coincidence, the scholar sought the potter who made the vase and upon finding him the potter gave the scholar his copy of the I Ching text that contained notes about how to use magic to make predictions about future events.

Later, the scholar spotted a pair of sparrows fighting in a plum blossom tree and decided to test out the knowledge he acquired from the book. The fighting birds appeared to be an omen indicating that an accident would occur in the plum tree the next day. The next day, a girl climbed the tree and fell, incurring minor injuries. When word spread that the scholar’s prediction was accurate, the Plum Blossom technique was accredited and eventually became widely accepted by divination practitioners.

Qi Men Dun Jia is an ancient form and one of the three main types of Chinese divination. It was originally devised during the period of the Warring States to help form military strategy. After many successes, the technique grew in popularity and was expanded to include other types of divination including medical divination, matchmaking, childbirth, travel, personal fortunes, and contemporary applications for business and finance.

King’s books include Four Pillars of Destiny: A Guide to Relationships and Feng Shui: An Illustrated Guide to Property Selection. He also offers virtual divination sessions.

The White Dragon’s Year of the Tiger Predictions:

The Year of the Tiger in 2022 is represented by two symbols, Yang Water and Tiger. The water element sits on top of the Tiger where it is said that the water is nourishing the wood element hidden inside the Tiger. The energy of such a relationship plays a very important role in influencing the nature of the events, relationships, and health on our planet. The Tiger is also one of the four “travelling horse” animals in Chinese astrology which can result in a lot of movement.

Since the water is feeding the wood hidden inside the Tiger, the elements are in harmony. This can lead to a lot of disputes being resolved in 2022. The last Water Tiger year was 1962, when the Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved. Presently, there are trade conflicts between the United States and China—could the trade wars between the two countries possibly be pacified?

Earth on the other hand will be weak in the Water Tiger year as the earth element has no support. This can lead to earth-related disasters. We are likely to see more mudslides and avalanches this year.

Regarding investments: from a long-term perspective, real estate will do well. However, waterfront properties are vulnerable to natural disasters and water-related issues affecting long-term gains.

In terms of your home’s Feng Shui: avoid renovations in the northeast sector as the “Grand Duke” is located there for the Year of the Tiger. It is said that any knocking noise or renovations can upset the Grand Duke and the energy of the home which can lead to financial losses or more serious problems.

The best sectors of the home are mainly located in the southeast and east for 2022. Consider placing flowers and water in the southeast to activate the scholar star. Having plants in the south can bring about happy events. The negative energy for 2022 is in the southwest; placing a windchime or metal elements there would be a remedy for the sickness star.

The Tiger can have a negative effect on the back and joints. Those born in the month of the Monkey (around August) will need to take more precautions with their health.

On the other hand, those born in the month of the Horse (around June) may benefit financially in 2022 as the Horse and Tiger have a favourable combination that can bring about happiness.

The most ideal month to travel is November. For those planning weddings, November is also a good month.
