****************************************************
The next auspicious date is 08 – 08 – 08, especially for the Chinese population. Triple 8’s which, when pronounced in Cantonese is “fa, fa, fa,” a homonym to the words “luck, luck, luck”.
In the Chinese language, the word “eight” sounds a lot like “prosperity.” The number “three” sounds like the word for “life”. So joining three eights in a row? A guarantee of lifelong prosperity and wealth. A good time to start anything . . from a business to a marriage!
August 8th, 2008 falls on a Friday which is a popular wedding day. On this particular Friday the moon will be in the first quarter. This is an excellent time for new beginnings, attracting things to you, and building your future.
