<h2 id="isPasted">Outlook for those born in the year of the Dragon</h2>2026 brings more challenges than comfort for Dragon. Minor injuries, setbacks, and interpersonal conflict are easier to trigger. Your home should feel like a buffer, not a battlefield. Reduce clutter, keep routines simple, and avoid bringing volatile emotions into shared spaces. When the outside world tests you, the point is to come home and exhale. <h2>Career</h2>Fortunes are weaker, with many obstacles. Avoid risky ventures and overambitious moves. Partnerships can be sensitive, with risks of disputes or betrayal. <h2>Work</h2>Superiors may be demanding, colleagues competitive, and emotions can affect efficiency. Do not resign in anger. Move carefully and keep communication clear. <h2>Wealth</h2>Windfalls are low. Avoid fantasies of sudden wealth and steer away from speculative ventures including stocks, gold, and gambling. Some may see better fortune during joyful occasions. <h2>Love and family</h2>Romantic luck can be strong for some, and marriage is supported. Married couples may consider welcoming a child. Avoid extramarital affairs. At home, minor disputes can flare, children may bring trouble, and elders may face health concerns. Those born in 1964 should watch their own health. <h2>Health</h2>Minor injuries and health concerns are highlighted, especially for elders and those born in 1964. Build recovery time into your schedule. <h2>Power Colours</h2>Grey, Brown, Red <h2>Best-Facing Directions</h2>Northwest, South, East <h2>Home Tip</h2>Create a &ldquo;decision corner&rdquo; at home. A small desk or console with good lighting, a clear surface, and one notebook for plans and finances. Use grounding tones like warm greys and browns. The goal is to make better choices when emotions run hot, especially before you sign contracts, spend big, or escalate conflicts. <a href="http://www.sixides.com/sixides-2026-chinese-zodiac-home-forecast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Back to main zodiac forecast page</a> <h2> </h2>Renovating soon?

<h2 id="isPasted">Some protection exists, but hidden threats and external challenges call for caution and stronger home systems.</h2> <h2>Outlook for those born in the year of the Dog</h2>2026 asks Dog to be more careful with trust. Challenges can arise from the outside, and not all problems are easily resolved. At home, the best response is organisation, clear boundaries, and tighter financial hygiene. When life is uncertain, a well-run household becomes a form of protection. <h2>Career</h2>Business may fluctuate with economic risks. Increase income, control expenses, and personally oversee key matters. Stay vigilant against disputes and disloyalty. <h2>Work</h2>Stress can be high, with potential personnel changes or layoffs. Stay self-motivated, act prudently, and keep your head down. Positive developments may appear later in the year if you stay steady. <h2>Wealth</h2>Chances of winning prizes are low. Avoid betting, speculation, and gambling, as these can lead to losses. Those born in the sixth and ninth lunar months may try small-scale luck, but stop early. <h2>Love and family</h2>Romantic luck can be strong for young women, but choose wisely and avoid casual online friendships. Newlyweds may consider children, and couples in love are encouraged towards marriage. Family harmony can be disrupted by emotional and financial issues. Safeguard finances and avoid trusting others blindly. <h2>Health</h2>Stress management is key. If you feel constantly wired or exhausted, do not brush it off. Routine and rest are protective. <h2>Power Colours</h2>Blue, Yellow, Cream White <h2>Best-Facing Directions</h2>Southeast, West, North <h2>Home Tip</h2>Set up a home admin hub. One folder for renovation documents, warranties, insurance, and contracts. One tray for keys and bills. Digital backups too. When &ldquo;hidden threats&rdquo; are part of the year&rsquo;s mood, organisation reduces the chance of disputes, surprise expenses, and last-minute panic. <a href="http://www.sixides.com/sixides-2026-chinese-zodiac-home-forecast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Back to main zodiac forecast page</a> <h2> </h2>Renovating soon?

<h1>SIXiDES: Redefining Homeowners&#39; Experience With The Design and Build Industry</h1> Buying a house is one of life&rsquo;s biggest decisions. It&rsquo;s where we&rsquo;re (presumably) going to live the rest of our lives. It has to be perfect. So why is it also one of life&rsquo;s biggest pain the in assets just to get there?&nbsp; <h3>Turns out that what&rsquo;s just business as usual for the design and build industry is, to the average citizen, an aggregation of aesthetic nomenclature and modus operandi (i.e., a lot of complicated jargon and work). Homeowners, both present and future, need a way to understand and communicate what they want to those in the industry, from interior designers to vendors to suppliers, and vice versa. So how do we do that? For there to be a solution, we first must diagnose the problems.</h3> The Challenges for Homeowners and Industry<img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1638945424277-stressed-asian-woman-moving-things-into-new-home-several-large-brown-cardboard-boxes-were-placed-room-moving-house-concept+%281%29.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> HomeownersHomeowners&rsquo; challenges are myriad in an unfamiliar area where they are wholly dependent on subject matter experts to help filter out the fluff from the facts. However, there are so many interior designers in Singapore alone, we aren&rsquo;t just spoiled for choice: we&rsquo;re up to our eyeballs in it. It can be hard to tell apart the smooth-talkers from the real deal. From profit-driven, smooth-talking salesmen to passionate but impractical designers, if homeowners aren&rsquo;t careful, they could end up getting very little for their buck (i.e., overcharged for everything), substandard work (i.e. low quality materials), or nothing at all (i.e. getting cheated). Interior DesignersFor the interior designer (or ID), the competition is fierce. In an industry where the demand is high, so too are the number of people and firms that operate in it. Over 2,000 IDs firms populate Singapore alone. If that wasn&rsquo;t enough, to throw more salt into the wound, those don&rsquo;t even include those without formal design credentials. Since there&rsquo;s currently no government agency regulating the ID renovation trade, any Tom, Dick, Harry and their cat can be an ID. <img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1638946636411-picture-stressful-businessman-work+%281%29.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> AcademyLet&rsquo;s be real: most of us never plan on going back to school. Once we get that cert, we move on to &ldquo;greater things&rdquo; and never look back. And that might be fine if the world just stood still for us right after we leave academia. But it doesn&rsquo;t. There will always be something new; new methodology, new developments, new technology. Active participation between academia and the industry ensures that advancements can, respectively, be field tested and spur growth in the profession at large. <img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1638965931959-adult-woman-buyer-looking-book-with-upholstery-fabrics.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> Suppliers and VendorsConsidering how much the services and goods of vendors, suppliers, and merchants directly impacts homeowners, it&rsquo;s curious how little their paths cross. It&rsquo;s like getting a personal shopper who won&rsquo;t let you choose or even see what they&rsquo;re getting at the supermarket. It&rsquo;s a real shame for homeowners &ndash; don&rsquo;t get the opportunity to better understand and make informed choices about what services and materials they get and use. Overcoming the Challenges<img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1638965989978-couple-handshaking-businesswoman-making-deal-cafe-close-up-view.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> Fair Price for Fair ServicesDespite having different challenges, everyone wants one thing: a fair price without worry. SIXiDES&rsquo; goal is, and will always be, to provide a safe marketplace for homeowners where they can find the people, services, and products that fit the bill. Part of that promise involves ensuring that IDs, vendors, suppliers, merchants, and even academia, would receive their due support.&nbsp; <img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1638966033731-asia-family-dad-mom-sit-couch-enjoy-shopping-online-laptop-while-daughter-son-have-fun-shouting-run-around-sofa-living-room-home+%281%29.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> HomeownersThe challenge for homeowners is how to find the right ID for what they want. Where to begin? What criteria to use? Lacking in-depth knowledge about the industry, then it&rsquo;d be like finding a needle in a haystack in the middle of a storm&hellip; at night. To give homeowners a fighting chance, SIXiDES offers to keep them well-informed and equipped before they even engage begin their project. <img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1638966073912-hands-young-female-architect-taking-photo-model-new-house-yard-while-her-mature-male-colleague-making-notes-sketch-paper+%281%29.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> eQuoteOne of SIXiDES offers is a proprietary artificial intelligence that we call eQuote. No more second-guessing yourself. You tell the AI what you&rsquo;re looking for and where the job is, and the system will give you an industry-standard quote on the spot along with five (robot) hand-picked IDs to choose from &mdash; IDs who have been verified for their competency and expertise.&nbsp; <img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1638966123124-quality-assurance-quality-control+%281%29.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> Verified ID SchemeFor SIXiDES, Verified ID is our way of separating the wheat from the chaff. Their purpose? IDs and vendors are assigned badges based on their qualifications and specialties that help to inform you and help us to match them to your needs. For credibility, SIXiDES isn&rsquo;t doing this alone &ndash; these badges are awarded in partnership with the Singapore Institute of Technology. In so doing, we not only recognise hard work and talent, but also encourage industry practitioners to continually upskill themselves and, in turn, raise industry standards.&nbsp; <img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1638966166193-hands-holding-puzzle-business-problem-solving-concept+%281%29.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> IDs, Vendors, and SuppliersSIXiDES&nbsp;recognises that standardisation may not be a sexy word, but for IDs, vendors, and suppliers, it ensures a level playing field for everyone. No undercutting. No wheeling and dealing. Fair game for everyone. And increased trust with consumers as they experience consistency, safety, and quality that standardisation brings. With increased trust, more business for everyone all around. <img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1638966196988-students-doing-homework-park+%281%29.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> AcademyIn order to build and support the industry, SIXiDES collaborates with academic institutions to develop and offer up subsidised programmes. Who doesn&rsquo;t like a bargain, right? These would be open to industry professionals to upskill themselves and outsiders who wish to qualify and join the field. The rewards of self-improvement and training for both individuals are twofold; gaining new skills and recognition through SIXiDES&rsquo; Verified ID badges.&nbsp; <img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1638966257400-closeup-teenage-hand-throwing-paper-plane.jpg" style="width: 100%;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> SIXiDES and The FutureSIXiDES&nbsp;is all about creating an ecosystem for homeowners that is friendly and easy to use. It will be a place where they can make informed decisions. Even now, we&rsquo;re developing programmes that work towards that goal. While the majority of what we do is for homeowners, SIXiDES recognises that that goal needs to work in conjunction with supporting and encouraging the industry as a whole. At present, SIXiDES&rsquo; focus is mainly trained on design and renovation for homes but worry not &mdash; our plans include extending our services to commercial projects in the near future.

SIXiDES - Redefining The Industry

 If you haven’t already redone your home, here are 6 most popular design choices you’ll want to consider...

Home Interior Trends of 2021

<img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1642069608572-1642069608572.jpeg" class="fr-fil fr-dib" style="width: 100%;"> At first glance, you might write SIXiDES off as a typical aggregator of interior design firms, with its easy-on-the-eye low key interface. But look closer, and you will discover the trove of treasures it offers. SIXiDES is a user-friendly, gimmick-free platform spawned from CEO and industry veteran Astley Ng&#39;s pent-up frustration with the bad rep the interior design industry has earned itself, with rogue firms and vendors providing bad service, elastic deadlines, and defective designs.&nbsp; &nbsp;<img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1642069608599-1642069608598.jpeg" class="fr-fil fr-dib" style="width: 100%;"> Astley&rsquo;s brainchild was manifested with the aid of his founding team CTO Adrian Yeo, who comes with over two decades of IT experience and has catapulted several start-ups into fruition, architect-by-training Head of Creative Leon Yap, Head of Operations Kezs Tan, heir of interior giant Inprodec Associates, Marketing Executive Joe Cao, and Business Development Executive Jamie Kang. With their credentials and united take on the market, they have come together to deliver one clear message: Because We Know Spaces.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1642069608624-1642069608624.jpeg" class="fr-fil fr-dib" style="width: 100%;"> The brand has ambitious plans to become a mecca of reliability and credibility, offering consumers a hub where they can find a rolodex of interior design professionals, trusty vendors, and institutions that have gone through rigorous screening and will continue to be relentlessly pruned to sift out the good from the bad and the ugly.&nbsp; Their Spaces category, which holds their inventory of qualified industry players, outdoes directory listing sites like SGCarMart or PropertyGuru by taking their verification process a step further with the Verified icon, borne proudly by professionals, vendors, or institutions who have passed SIXiDES&rsquo; screening process, holding true to their mission of safeguarding homeowners by qualifying, verifying, listing professionals and vendors who meet industry standards. Consumers can easily filter searches by price, theme, awards-won, sustainability, or whether the ID or vendor has been verified.<img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1642069608646-1642069608646.jpeg" class="fr-fil fr-dib" style="width: 100%;"> Dive deeper into SIXiDES&#39; Stories, and you will find a wealth of entertaining content categorized into themed bite-sized videos and articles delivered via educational anecdotes and light-hearted banter on the requisite trending platforms. You may also catch the occasional glimpse of a famous face or spot a celebrity guest too. With a foot in the door on creating highly palatable consumer-centric content, SIXiDES is set to become a formidable marketing force for qualified service providers, pushing trustworthy brands out into the market for consumers, creating a win-win-win situation for all. <img src="https://s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sixides-us/uploads%2F1642069608665-1642069608665.jpeg" class="fr-fil fr-dib" style="width: 100%;"> What&rsquo;s more, to ensure the continuous upskilling of all SIXiDES&rsquo; partners and to educate consumers, the firm has teamed up with the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) in pushing out a curated course approved by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), open to both public and trade. As a consumer-driven interior design platform, SIXiDES jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with an institute of higher learning to manifest it&rsquo;s a revolutionary platform that met industry standards. Marrying design to Artificial Intelligence, SIXiDES is making it possible for consumers to take a picture of a piece of furniture they like, upload it to SIXiDES, and browse through a generated list of various design possibilities.&nbsp; SiXiDES and SIT (the fifth autonomous university of Singapore) will establish a four-pillar course related to interior design - &ldquo;ID DESIGN COURSE FOR SINGAPORE RESIDENCES&rdquo; Sectioned into four categories, the course has twelve parts:1. Design for interior (3 parts)2. Construction and material studies (3 parts)3. Contracts and management (3 parts)4. Sustainable and healthy interiors (3 parts)&nbsp;Qualified entrants can use the SkillsFuture Grant to get subsidies for the lessons. SIXiDES is the first renovation platform in Singapore to kickstart such a collaboration with a local university and the first platform to offer interior design courses that run the gamut from design, contract and project administration, and even sustainability!&nbsp;Look out for more essential functions SIXiDES is coming up with for you!
