Where to stable
The race this year may be won by a short, half-wet calf’s nose as it pokes around the Kowloon Peninsula and associated areas; gongs should also be given to the large areas east and west of there, on the Island itself and the northeast – what did they find inside Nam Shan Tung? Have they discovered a rare earth we didn’t even know we needed? The southeast corners of anything should be avoided unless you’ve prepared bales of good karma to dispense. But even in that location, with a year of quarrels and squabbles (frequently over wealth) there will be many a fine lawyer hanging a shingle out – it’s a matter of what you want out of a place, and you’ll have to answer that for yourself.
Not so much a Game of Thrones as a Game of Clones; familiar stars, their qualities known, circle through the nine quadrants of a square earth. Use the good stars to advance smoothly in that area, and deal with the bad with a combination of propitiation and seeking situations where their proclivities can work to your advantage.
