What if the zodiac sign and element isn't listed?

Based on your request, here is the English translation of the astrological analysis and suggestions for your mother (born in 1930, Year of the Golden Horse) for the year 2026.

 

I. Astrological Analysis and Annual Fortune

Five Elements Relationship: Your mother was born in the Gengwu Year (Heavenly Stem: Geng Metal; Earthly Branch: Wu Fire). The year 2026 is a Bingwu Year (Heavenly Stem: Bing Fire; Earthly Branch: Wu Fire), resulting in very strong Fire energy. The Bing Fire directly clashes with her birth year's Geng Metal, and the intense Fire is said to "melt" Metal. This elemental imbalance suggests a need for special attention to her cardiovascular and respiratory system health. Managing emotions to avoid irritability and anger is also emphasized.

 

Influence of Auspicious and Inauspicious Stars: As 2026 is your mother's Ben Ming Nian (Zodiac year of birth) and a year of Tai Sui (Grand Duke Jupiter), her fortune is prone to fluctuations. The principle of "extreme stillness leading to movement" is highlighted for elders. The general advice is to maintain stability, avoid major changes or risks, and focus on preserving health and peace to navigate the influence of Tai Sui smoothly.

 

II. Health Predictions and Suggestions

Key Protection: The strong Fire weakening Metal indicates a need to guard against strain on her heart and lungs (e.g., blood pressure, palpitations) and issues like insomnia or skin discomfort from excess "heat." The repeated Wu Fire also suggests paying attention to old joint ailments, especially in the legs and feet, and being cautious to prevent falls or collisions.

 

Practical Advice:

 

Schedule regular health check-ups for her.

 

Maintain good home ventilation and prevent heatstroke in summer.

 

Adopt a light, moisturizing diet (e.g., lily bulbs, white fungus).

 

Mental and Physical Adjustment: The intense Fire and Dry Earth can lead to emotional dryness or restlessness. Remedies involve incorporating the calming energy of Metal and Water:

 

Use white, metallic, gray, or blue/black tones in her living space.

 

Practice quiet meditation in the afternoon or listen to music with flowing water sounds to soothe the mind.

 

Traditional Remedies:

 

Wear white jade or metal ornaments (like a silver bracelet) to strengthen Metal energy.

 

Keep six ancient Chinese coins close to the body as a traditional talisman to harmonize energy.

 

III. Family and Social Advice

Family Relationships: The strong Fire energy may make family matters more heated. As an elder, your mother can act as a stabilizing force, using gentleness to resolve tensions. It is advised to avoid direct interference in the affairs of younger generations to prevent disputes. Holding a simple, warm family gathering on her birthday (avoiding extravagance) is recommended to gather positive energy.

 

Interpersonal Relationships: She may reconnect with old acquaintances. While it's good to contact old friends, it's advised to reduce nighttime outings or strenuous long-distance travel. For any matters concerning property distribution or important agreements, a clear written document is strongly recommended over verbal agreements to avoid future misunderstandings.

 

IV. Precautions and Taboos

Time Precautions: Be extra cautious during the 5th lunar month (Wu Month) and the 11th lunar month (Zi Month). It is also beneficial for her to rest quietly during the daily 11 AM to 1 PM period.

 

Directional Taboos: Avoid traveling to the due South (the direction of Tai Sui in 2026) and the due North (the direction that clashes with Tai Sui). Avoid placing her bed in the due South; the West or Northwest are more favorable directions.

 

Rituals: At the beginning of the year, you may choose an auspicious day to "worship Tai Sui" (e.g., at a temple) on her behalf or with her company. Carrying a consecrated Tai Sui amulet throughout the year is a common practice. Remember to burn the amulet at the year's end as a traditional way to thank Tai Sui.
