2007 Feng Shui Energies

Many Feng Shui enthusiasts reading this newsletter (especially those who have had a personalised consultation or attended a workshop with me at some stage) may be aware that the Chinese Solar New Year (February 4th) brings with it a slight change in Flying Star energies affecting the home. This doesn't involve major changes to the way your home is currently arranged but can help you or hinder you in certain areas of your life, depending on whether you choose to address them.

To help you prepare your home for both the good and challenging Flying Star energy that 2007 brings, here is a quick summary of the areas of your home you may wish to address.

Challenging Energies for 2007
The most challenging energy represented by "Flying Star 5" will be affecting the North East sector of the home. This energy represents catastrophe, misfortune and accidents. Therefore, it is especially important to reduce it's effect if your home's main entrance, a bedroom or home office is located in the North East sector. To reduce the effect, you need to bring in the metal element. This may be a string of bells hung from a door knob, a wind chime located outside the window in this sector or positioning a chiming clock in this area of the home. Your selection of "remedy" will depend upon the practical use of the room. You can further reduce this energy by using metallic colours or white in this area. Avoid the fire element which would actually enhance this energy. Therefore, avoid the colour red and if you happen to have a fire place, or BBQ in this area of the home, avoid using it this year.

The next most challenging energy is represented by "Flying Star 2" which will be affecting the heart or centre of the home (also known as the Tai Chi sector). This energy represents sickness, particularly of the digestive system and abdominal region, so it is especially important to remedy this area if a bedroom is located in this part of your home. As this energy also requires the metal element to reduce it's influence, use any of the remedies mentioned above for Flying Star 5 to reduce it's effect and avoid the fire element here too, if possible.

Beneficial Energies for 2007
The most beneficial energy represented by "Flying Star 8" will be affecting the South West sector of the home this year. This energy represents a gradual increase in wealth and fame and should therefore be supported and enhanced. Primarily, this area of the home should be kept clean and clear of clutter at all times to allow this energy to flow through. To support this energy, you can use the earth element. This means the colours yellow, brown and terracotta would be beneficial. Also, objects and building materials made of pottery or clay would be beneficial here. You may also use the fire element to feed the Flying Star 8 energy. This means the colour red and any shade or tint of red is beneficial here. Also, the use of candles, heaters, a BBQ or fireplace would be beneficial in this area of the home, if possible.

The next most beneficial energy is represented by "Flying Star 9" which will be affecting the East sector of the home. This energy represents success and promotion and is particularly great to enhance if this is something you wish to attract this year. Use the fire element to support this energy (see recommendations for the fire element under Flying Star 8 above). You can also use the wood element to feed this energy. This means using the colour green and placing items made of wood in this area of the home.

Placed with intention, these remedies can help you to create or maintain the energetic balance in your home. Please be aware that there are many other energies at work including the significant 20 year period Flying Stars that operate on a 20 year cycle; so they can also affect the balance of these annual influences!
