FENG SHUI FOR THE NEW YEAR

FENG SHUI 8 MANSIONS

FENG SHUI FOR THE NEW YEAR

Moving from Winter into Spring, from one Chinese year to the next you may be thinking of creating a new look and feel to your home or office. Painting, decorating or even changing some furniture can bring a new lease of life to your space. It is part of the natural awakening after the Yin season of Winter into the Yang season of Spring.

Before making any changes it is worth taking a walk outside around your neighbourhood.

What are your neighbours doing? Are there new home extensions, external work or even new properties being built in your area and what direction (using your property as the Tai Chi*) is this work being done?

*In this case the Tai Chi is the centre point of your search, it is the base from which to determine directions).

In Classical Feng Shui everything starts from the outside in so if there are changes in your external environment it may be affecting your property without you being aware of it. Any impact could be positive or negative depending on the location and direction involved.

Armed with the directions of the 5 Yellow, 3 Killings, Grand Duke Jupiter and the Year Breaker of the current year you can see if any of these are being inadvertently activated and if they are, what the likely effect on your property might be. Remember proximity though; if the work is not in direct line of sight to your building and it is located some distance away, the effect with be minimal at worst.

The closer the works the more impact it is likely to have.

Once you have established what is going on elsewhere you can then move on to your property. Which rooms do you want to decorate? Where are they located on your floor plan? Using your floor plan as a starting point and knowing the locations of the annual afflictions you can easily cross out those areas that are best left undisturbed for the year. Focus on those areas you can make changes and leave the rest for another time.

If you have essential work that must be carried out Date Selection is an important factor. An auspicious date to begin chosen specifically for you can help avoid the pitfalls that may appear if the work goes ahead without any forethought.

To the fulfillment of your dreams

THE IMPORTANCE OF A GOOD DATE!

No, we are not talking about a romantic date or dinner date with friends more a positive date for:

a) making Feng Shui changes in your home or workplace

b) proposing marriage to that special someone

c) celebrating your Wedding day

d) breaking ground to build your dream home

e) moving home

f) signing a business contract

These is only a drop in the ocean compared to what date selection can be used for. It is mainly for those events that will have a long-term effect on your life. So why is it important to choose a particular date? The simple answer is the quality of Qi present at a precise date and time will influence an event and people involved in the event. To infuse the occasion, whatever it may be, with positive energy requires knowing when the energy is harmonious.

Qi (energy) is constantly in motion. In Feng Shui we tend to focus on the annual and monthly changes of energy but in truth this also goes down to the day and the hour and it is this that we look to when choosing a date for a specific event.

You have all experienced days when everything you turn your hand to goes right or wrong or your mood changes from positive to negative (or vice versa) for no apparent reason. This is the impact that Qi is having on you. Often described as 'one of those days' the energy of the day is, or is not, in harmony with you. Did you know that your birth date will influence whether a day is positive or not?

There are generic 'good' and 'bad' days and then there are those days that are good or bad for some and not for others. When you are looking to arrange something that will impact your life for the foreseeable future it makes sense that you start on a day and at a time that will benefit you. In 5 or 10 years time is it going to matter what the weather was like on your Wedding day or where you held that important business meeting? It might matter more that things are not going well for you in your personal or business relationships and you cannot understand why. Imagine that you went into partnership, whatever kind, on a day that benefitted one party and was a conflict day for another, or the day was a generic bad one - things will ultimately come to a head and disharmony will ensue.

Consider the benefits of date selection and how it can help you will ensure your adventure begins on the right footing, there is definitely more to gain than lose.
