Tomorrow marks the beginning of the Wood Male Dragon Year, i.e. the Bhutanese New Year.  Amid the prevailing sceptical attitudes of people towards the upcoming two years being considered Lo-nag or inauspicious years, the Pangrizampa College for Astrology says there are preventive measures. There are rituals which can be performed to avoid misfortunes and to carry out major projects during the years.

The Wood Male Dragon Year is considered as Lo-nag chungwa or a bad year.

The most inauspicious months of the year fall on the fourth and tenth months of the Bhutanese calendar.

While people believe that it is not good to start any project or do anything for that matter during the year, the Pangrizampa College of Astrology says conducting rituals can overcome obstacles.

“We have conveyed messages repeatedly through BBS, urging people not to be sceptical about the New Year being inauspicious. Even if the new year is a lo-nag, various rituals can be conducted to prevent bad luck. If rituals are performed, it is as if the year is not a lo-nag,” said Phub Dorji, a teacher at the Pangrizampa College for Astrology.

He added men born in the Metal Male Rabbit year aged 14, Metal Male Horse Year aged 35, and Fire Male Horse Year aged 59 should be preferred to initiate major works in the coming year.

And those born in the dragon, dog, rat and monkey years need to be careful as it will be an unlucky year for them.

The New Year will be a good year for farming.

Of the four elements or Jungwa Zhi, threats of wind and water are predicted to be higher and could cause floods and wind storms.

Meanwhile, to avoid bad luck and bring about a more positive future, people are advised to recite prayers such as Jigten Wangchuk, seven-line prayer to Padmasambhava and make offerings to local deities.
