What Luck Awaits Us this 2018 Year of Earth Dog

What Luck Awaits Us this 2018 Year of Earth Dog

Time flies so fast and alas, we are excited for the coming New Year.

For most of us, the New Year symbolizes a new beginning, a new light.

New Challenges. New Welcoming Days.

And many of us have started to wonder, what luck awaits us this 2018.

As a woman who always thinks ahead, I’ve found myself checking many do’s and don’ts and other auspicious things and ways that I could practically apply to my daily life. I’ve been very busy since the start of the Mid-Autumn Festival last October 2018 as it was (what I believe) is the perfect time.

Maybe because it’s still the Asian ways I have, that I am accustomed to listening to elders and reading many Asian books to help me guide on what I should do for this new beginning.


*********

A few weeks ago, I was delighted to be invited to my Marco Polo team for an intimate lunch with the very prestigious Filipino Feng Shui Master Ms. Marites Allen.

I was truly excited to meet her. Not because I want to know my fortune, but because I’ve been wishing to meet her for the last many years since I started practicing feng shui privately 9-years ago.

This was when I first laid my eyes on her when am read an article about her in a national broadsheet, and followed her advice which worked with me 90% (the remaining 10% because nature doesn’t permit, hahaha).

From then on, I’ve been wishing that hopefully one day, nature will permit us to meet and have at least a small window of opportunity to know her.

And on that one lunch, my prayers and patience were answered!

I still couldn’t believe that I’d finally met her and had this fangirling feeling!

As a sole recognized Filipino Feng Shui Master, Marties Allen has solidified her name in the feng shui industry thanks to her strong passion for her craft. For 13 years of applied experience and sharing her #triedandtested technique and advice, she is now the most trusted feng shui consultant for most affluent personalities, real estate companies, private individuals, etc. here in the Philippines, throughout Asia, and worldwide.

If you want her insights, be ready to hear what she will say, and if not then don’t open that door. I find her as one of that honest and straightforward women, who is never shy to show you what’s in her heart, and what she can do to succeed. The fruit of her labor and passion is well-blessed, with a loving and strong bonded family, and a fruitful business, with many branches all around the Philippines and across Asia.

Ms. Marites Allen proudly shows us her newest Frigga 2018 Collection.


Frigga comes from the Nordian word Frigg and is described as the Goddess of Foreknowledge and Wisdom in Norse mythology, and the wife of the God Odin.

The collection of dresses in shades of yellow red and black are ornate with auspicious designs, which are personally curated by Ms. Allen and her trusted team.

This 2018 collection also includes leather handbags with embossed infinity knots as a symbol of good luck. They will also release these good luck charm medallions and earrings – all personalized which will help the owners to attract positive energy along the way.

Is 2018 the luckiest year for us?

2018 Year of the Earth Dog

During the intimate lunch, Ms. Allen shared with us many good news that awaits us for this 2018 Year of the Earth Dog which starts on the 16th of February 2018 until the 4th of February 2019. She also shared and invited us to this coming January 6th, 2018 Feng Shui Convention which will be held at Marco Polo Ortigas. This will be the perfect day to learn her insightful knowledge on what awaits us for this Year of the Earth Dog.

She also shared with us her latest 12 horoscope books for 2018!


For this coming year, she also shared these sneak previews of the luck readings for each astrological sign.

RAT – Long-term benefits expected but need to be wary of the misfortune star.

OX – Pleasant news related to promotion or further career development.

TIGERA reasonably good year, but must control temper and avoid confrontations.

RABBIT – Monetary gains from last year may be extended to this year.

DRAGON – Take it easy and make sure to implement a calculated risk for anything that you do in 2018.

SNAKE – There will be more chances for your upward achievements.

HORSE – A very rewarding year especially in the love department.

SHEEP – You may have to redouble your efforts to achieve whatever goals you want.

MONKEY – Many positive events to look forward to.

ROOSTER – Do not be too busy that you neglect your personal health.

DOG – New beginnings are on the horizon and income growth in 2018 is very possible.

BOAR – A great start for a new year; however, betrayal may be on the horizon.

2018 Year of the Earth Dog

Ms. Allen generously gave us our own horoscope guidebook (mine is Year of the Ox!) and am so excited to read and learn from it.

Each book provides monthly readings for one’s career, business, health, and relationships. There are also feng shui suggestions for the home, auspicious fashion and accessories, a guide to the lucky and unlucky house orientations for each month, and many more useful tips.

The books, planners, and almanacs are now available at all Frigga Charmed Life shops located at SM MOA, SM North EDSA, SM Megamall, Glorietta 4 Mall, SM Cebu Seaside and ordering online at wealthluck.com and lazada.com.ph


Many of the guests asked Ms. Allen about what fortunes awaited them for 2018.

I decided not to ask her about mine, coz the day was her day and I intended to allot my time to listening to her. On the brighter side, I’ve got my own planner guide and taught us how to use it.

Now, it is my responsibility to learn it on my own.

What Luck Awaits Us this 2018 Year of Earth Dog

Am excited to further read and study feng shui. I believe in the signs, and I know that nature permits it.


Am truly honored I’ve met this amazing woman.


xoxo, Blair

    1. Those horoscopes are based on days and months. In Chinese horoscope, we based mostly on the year you were born. It is important in our oriental culture which we apply in our way of life, including business, love life, etc.
