Happy Chinese New Year! May the year of The Boar bring you
the grace of quiet sincerity and confident strength. The wonder of innocence
is a blessed gift but be careful to do you homework before making decisions.
In the year of the Boar, you might have tendencies to be too trusting. Use the
energy of this year to take great pleasure in the luxury of pampering
yourself! Ooo-la-la!
You most likely already know that with Feng Shui, the Chinese art of
placement, you can move furniture, use different colors, and place accessories
in specific areas of your home to Increase Wealth, Deepen Love, and Improve
Health. I bet you didn't know that your Feng Shui also changes every year.
All you need to do is move 9 items in your environments according to a
sage-old formula. No formulas today, just the quick concept with what to move
and where to move it!
I define Feng Shui concepts in terms of "home" because home is, and
always will be, where the heart is and its energy drives the greatest
influence. Once you understand and adjust the Feng Shui of your home, it is
easy to apply the principles to your office or any environment.
Concept of Yearly Energies: Generic to everyone, unlike
your natal Feng Shui, (*see below) there are nine yearly energies ranging from
the best of the best, to the worst of the worst. Each of the nine energies sit
in each of the eight magnetic directions in your home with one in the center
position. Explained in a different way, each of the nine, equal-sized areas
has an energetic influence with specific attributes that change every year.
One sector will have the best energy, one will have the worst, and each of the
other areas has a value in between. What to Move and Where:
The key is to enhance the good energies to make them even better and reduce
the bad ones so you are not under their detrimental influence. Segment your
home into nine equal sections as if you were putting an invisible tic-tac-toe
board directly on top of it. Each square has an unique, directional energy
(North, South, East, West, Northwest, etc.) determined by compass direction.
Look around your home to consider what existing items that you love can be
moved to each of the nine areas to maximize this year's potential.
While
you can get your
customized Yearly Success Map HERE with the energies
for EACH direction, here are the
best and worst energies for 2007 and their traditional (and my decorative)
suggestions.
This year's BEST energy:
Whatever room is in the
southwest of your home, it has the best luck. In fact, unexpected
surprises may occur that relate to the function of the room. If this is your
bedroom, add as much blue as you can.blue sheets are very relaxing and will
promote sweet dreams too this year. If the southwest is an active area,
place "moving water" such as a fountain or fish tank. If this area is full
of clutter, make sure you clean it out to not waste this year's best of
the best energy. Enjoy your southwest room this year as much as
possible.
This year's WORST energy:
Throughout 2007, the northeast area of your home has the energy of
"severed fate and bankruptcy." To reduce the worst energy, it is
best to avoid this area as much as possible. If you must spend considerable
time here, place "moving metal" such as a metal windchime (preferably with
6 or 7 rods) or chiming clock with a metal sound to reduce the energy. It is
critical to make sure you are sitting or sleeping facing one of your Best
Direction and good Natal Flying Stars. (You can find out your
Natal Success Map and how to
combine them with Yearly & Monthly energies HERE
Now that you've enhanced the best and reduced the
worst energies, there are still 7 more with their respective influence
to maximize this year's Feng Shui.
The other good energies to enhance are:
Take advantage of these energies by moving the right enhancing accessory in
these areas! Discover where these energies are on your
customized Yearly Success Map to reap their benefits all year long!
Every house has more unfavorable energies too, so it
is best to reduce them by placing a reducing accessory in the area. Negative
energies include:
-
Arguing and Bickering
-
Cutting energy which may mean broken bones, cutting your skin, and even
cutting with your tongue so be careful and think before speaking in this
area.
-
Sickness (the second worst energy).

Enriching your Feng Shui: Depending on the room that each
energy is occupying, whatever function is in that area, it is influenced by
that energy. For example, if the southwest area is your bedroom, with
good Natal Feng Shui, this will be a wonderful year for you and your beloved.
If the southwest is in your home office, this year reaps financial
rewards from loyal clients who value your goods or service.
Conversely, if the northeast area is your bedroom, depending on the
quality of your Natal Feng Shui, that "fate" of your intimate relationship
is at risk. If the northeast is in your home office, depending on the quality
of your Natal Feng Shui, you may want to move your computer to the living room
and make a temporary office behind a screen.
Your
customized Yearly Success Map is oriented according to the direction your
house which makes it even easier to move items for this Year's Good Feng
Shui.
These items and the locations will help increase good things in your life
all the way through February 3 of 2008. After that date, the energies move
according to the formula that I told you about. Make sure you are on my newsletter
so I can give you the best and worst energies for 2008 where all you'll
need to do is move your "Yearly nine items:" how easy is that?
