Aspirations and Auspicious Feng Shui

What is an Aspiration?
One dictionary definition of ‘Aspiration’ is ‘A strong desire for high achievement, an ambition.’

What does ‘Auspicious’ mean?
One dictionary definition of ‘Auspicious’ is ‘Suggesting a positive and successful future.’


These definitions are very apt in describing the Aspirations identified in the practice of Auspicious Feng Shui.


The Eight Aspirations Formula of Feng Shui recognises eight categories of good fortune; categories said to encompass all areas of life, and when captured allow you to experience a fulfilled and happy existence, free from negative or inauspicious energies (Chi.)  

This Formula is not one of the traditional formulas of Feng Shui however it is a popular formula in the West particularly.

The ‘Eight Aspirations’:
Direction
Enhance with:



Career Luck
North
Water; a Turtle
Education and Study Luck (personal development)
Northeast
Crystal Globe; Light
Family and Health Luck
East
Round leaf plants; Water
Wealth Luck
Southeast
Flowers; Water
Fame and Recognition Luck
South
Fire; the Horse
Love and Relationships Luck
Southwest
Crystals; Fire
Children and Descendants Luck
West
Family pictures; Crystals
Mentor Luck
Northwest
Wind chimes; Crystals

To awaken any of these ‘aspirations’symbolic Feng Shui is used.  Each of the four primary and four secondary locations around the compass are enhanced and activated by objects, images, symbols, pictures, paintings, crystals, water and plants to invite the Luck associated with each area.


This is a basic description of a few of the symbolic enhancers used in Feng Shui. 


Light, sound and movement are also necessary to create active Yang Energy in your home and workplace.


The beauty of this particular practice is that you can activate as few, or as many, of the areas as you desire.


Be greedy, go for all eight! You have much more to gain than to lose.


Not everybody will want all of these, so you get to decide which of the Aspirations is important to you.


If you already have a successful career you may not feel it necessary to activate the North.
If you are finished studying you may not feel it necessary to activate the Northeast.
If you have your family and are currently healthy you may not feel it necessary to activate the East.
If you have wealth you may not feel it necessary to activate the Southeast.
If you have fame and recognition you may not feel it necessary to activate the South.
If you have the perfect Love Relationship you may not feel it necessary to activate the Southwest.
If you have a happy family unit you may not feel it necessary to activate the West.
If you have a mentor, someone who supports you through life, you may not feel it necessary to activate the Northwest.


If you think it isn’t necessary “why not?”


The practice of Feng Shui focuses initially on prevention rather than cure, so by activating the various areas in this way you are protecting what you already have and enhancing for further success in the future.


To the fulfillment of your dreams
