Welcome to
the Year of
the Water
Rabbit

Yin Water over Yin Wood
2023 is symbolic of the element Water over
Wood. Both are of the Yin polarity. In Feng
Shui principles, Water supports Wood and
therefore the year is seen to be complementary
and the nature of Yin energies is viewed as
gentle, accommodating and related to
emergence of feminine control.
The Rabbit zodiac is also a Peach Blossom star
by its own virtue and thus, 2023 is a year for
singles who are looking for meaningful
relationships or are getting married. Yin Water
represents intelligence and emotions. Acting as
the Academic Star, the outcome of peace and
harmony is a distinct possibility.
Yin Water can be visualized as the morning
dew on leaves and flowers. It is also
transformative and can turn into water in the
atmosphere, clouds or rain showers. As such,
2023 is a year of changes in gentle phases.
The year brings inactivity and slow
actualization. Do less and achieve more is
the key to success.

Fire Energy
The significance of time in Feng Shui
accounts for dominance of industries, people,
behaviour, habits and orientations that shape
up markets, wealth distribution and
opportunities for asset accumulation.
Between 4th February 2004 till 3rd February
2024 (Year of the Dragon), the cycle of these
twenty years was affiliated to the Earth
element (known as the Period 8). This supports
the growth of industries associated with
Earth such as construction, real estate,
architecture, storage (think data), waste
management and intellectual properties.

Cycle 9 begins
4th February
2024
2023 will see the dwindling energies of Earth
and emergence of the Fire element. Fire is all
things related to life, power and comfort.
Technology, artificial intelligence,
transmission and conversion of energies,
robotics, internet-of-things, alternative power
will take centerstage. Moreover, medical
sciences, hospitality, entertainment,
inspirational and spiritual matters will be
aligned for the next twenty years. Properties,
supported by this Fire cycle, will grow at an
accumulated pace that may outstrip the last
twenty years’ performance.

Industries
Earth sectors are businesses in the real
estate, property, estate management funds,
data storage facilities and human resources.
Yin Earth includes crop producers, urban
farming, plant-based food, recycling, waste
management and home-based businesses.
The presence of the Water element in the
Rabbit year offers the financial opportunities
for such businesses to thrive although the
growth may not be in quantum leaps.
In 2023, real estate may come under
pressure due to inflationary and monetary
policies. However, if one takes a mid term (by
2025) commitment, the benefits are                Sector Winners:

Water
Industries
With the lifting and easing of Covid 19
restrictions, travels and mobility have been
increasing in rapid paces. Water industries are
fluid and transformative.
The Rabbit year exposes the Water element
under the pressure of Wood and clashing
against the Fire presence of the year. This
can signal a weakness in these businesses in
the sense of extreme competition and
pressures of demands.
Water businesses include travels, cruise
businesses, sea resorts, water sports, drinks
and alcohols.
Other activities associated with Water are        Sector Winners:
water treatment facilities, filtrations, life

Definition of Ratings
Maybank IBG Research uses the following rating system:
BUY            Return is expected to be above 10% in the next 12 months (including dividends)
HOLD           Return is expected to be between 0% to 10% in the next 12 months (including dividends)

Applicability of Ratings
The respective analyst maintains a coverage universe of stocks, the list of which may be adjusted according to needs. Investment ratings are only applicable to the stocks which
form part of the coverage universe. Reports on companies which are not part of the coverage do not carry investment ratings as we do not actively follow developments in
these companies.
