Dear Uncle Dixer: What are the favorable Feng Shui colors for people born in the year of the water pig? For instance, for those born in 1983?

Answer: Assume this person is born in 1983. If this person is male, then he has a Ming Gua (Kua) number 8 and his favorable Element is Earth. Thus, a yellow or an earthy color would be desirable. Since Fire generates Earth, a reddish color is also auspicious for him.

If this person is female, then she has a Ming Gua number 7 and her favorable Element is Metal. Thus, a white or a metallic color like grey or silver would be desirable. Since Earth generates Metal, a yellow or an earthy color is also auspicious for her.
