Wow, last month went fast and this month is going faster. However- no surprise. The #4 star of wood and literary success has flown to the center of the ba-gua and gives added strength to all ready fast moving fire energy of the #9. This #4 aspect gives a wood over earth aspect with fire. Think about that with picture eyes. A tree over earth with fire nipping at its feet. You move and you move quickly.
This month, slow down the quick energy with water in the center of the home. If you feel sluggish or stuck, add lighting for more creativity and growth. This fast moving energy may cause the body to feel fatigued and more susceptible to virus. The fire rules the head and heart and the wood rules the liver and gall bladder, as well as eyes and sight. However, careful of anger this month.
Slow down, think clearly, and make no rash decisions. This month things could move up and down very quickly. Don't get caught up in a whirlwind.
To activate the #4 for literary recognition place the Crystal Globe. You may place a horse in the center of the home for career advancement, but be careful of too much movement-- too fast.
Last month, the #5 in the center caused a lot of instability in the economy of the world. If you recall, I warned you of it and to take heed.
This month, the #5 flies into the NW of the pig and dog. Take care with your health and money. Lay low and only take calculated risks. Place extra metal and salt water in this area to weaken the #5. If your bed is in this sector, place a salt water cure under your bed. If this is your front door, put a salt line at the threshold to stabilize negativity.
The #6 flies into the Rooster. Place metal here for power and authority.
The #7 flies into the ox and tiger. This #7 will cause some instability in the already yearly conflicted ox and tiger. Place bowls of still water in the North West or a bowl of blue detergent. Take baths and swim to weaken the #7 red metal energy and calm your nerves. Make no rash decisions. Be patient, next month the #6 of power will fly to you. This month there will be a desire to possibly throw in the towel and quit something--do not do it. It is the #7 talking. Give it a month and see how you feel next month. Ox and Tiger needs to be careful of robbery or legal entanglements. Take no stupid chances. Slow down driving.
Place small amounts of red or fire to help burn off some of the clashing energy of the #7 monthly (metal) and the #3 (wood) yearly. A red Buddha will do nicely.
The # 8 of wealth flies into the south of horse. For the South facing home, place water, crystal globe, and running horse at front door to allow money to flow into the home. Same applies to the south of the home, no matter the door direction. The horse should take advantage of the #8.
The #9 of expansion flies into the North and the rat. The fire energy gives the #5 annual in the north, added fuel. Be sure to place your salt water cures and be careful of any candles, stoves, etc this month. If your home faces the North, be sure to place a salt line at your front door.
Rat needs to watch their health this month. Immerse yourself in water. Hold off on finalizing any business deals. There could be hidden info that you need to know.
The #1 flies into the SW of the Sheep and the Monkey. Since water flies into the earth sector, wear citrine to empower career and money luck. Everyone, Place citrine in the SW of your home.
The #2 star flies into the already unstable #7. The rabbit needs to be especially careful of their health this month. My physical pillar is rabbit and this is the one that nailed me good!!! I have a nasty head cold. Use water and wood to stabilize. Place an extra large wu-luo in the east this month. In addition, make sure to have a wu lou by your bed.
The #3 star flies into the Snake and dragon. Watch your tongue and avoid deal making this month. Use small fire to burn out wood energy. Place a red Buddha in this space.
Everyone should readjust the areas of their homes. Those whose animals are especially affected should be diligent. The aspects this month combine with some enhanced experiences. The rooster, horse, sheep, and monkey reaping the benefits. The other animals need to hunker down this month, do your adjustments and learn make the most of your experiences.

A combination of Feng Shui and Behavior Modification which will enable you to change your thoughts, change your environment, and change your life!! If you can dream it-you can make it happen!!

Announcing Release of Reconnecting Your Spirit-Seeing the Possibilities

Wisdom House Book of Dallas, Texas is pleased to announce the release of Reconnecting Your Spirit--Seeing the Possibilities by certified Hypnotherapist and Feng Shui Practitioner, Mary Shurtleff. This is the second book in a series dedicated to unleashing your spirit by balancing the energy of the body, mind, and spirit with the energy of your home and career to rediscover who you really are. The first book of this series, The Alchemy of Quantum Mind Feng Shui, explains how the basics of Feng Shui work in conjunction with the seven Chakras and the body.
Reconnecting Your Spirit reaches beyond those basic principles to explore a combination of information on man's spiritual connection to God, theta/gamma healing, development of the six sensory connection, hypnosis/behavior modification methods, power of thoughts and impact of words, metaphors and signs, and Feng Shui. Each element is individually dissected so you can begin to combine and layer them in your life.
Reconnecting Your Spirit is designed to help those, who wish to decode their childhood programming, generational tendencies, and word formations to discover who they truly are and what they desire. This book shows how to identify words and phrases we often hear everyday from our society and our families that literally hold us back from achieving our highest potential. Once identified, these phrases can be replaced with positive, more directed language that is better aligned with your present hopes and dreams.

Feng Shui Aspects for February
Hey Everyone,
The New Year has arrived. The Chinese Months change on the approx. the sixth of each month. For those who work with the animals, I will blog at the first of each month so you will have an idea of what you need to do for your animal each month. A four-pillar profile is helpful because we have four animals and not just one, in our chart. There is an animal for our emotions, our health, our tribal family, and our years manifesting aspect. Profiles and the earth Ox book are available through me. The book is $16.95 and the four pillar profiles are available for $100. For more info go to www.maryshurtleff.com or email @ designwisdom@yahoo.com .
Feng shui- is it Science or superstition? Feng Shui is using energy, which is physics. Einstein's theory, energy in motion, is feng shui. Our environment affects our well-being. Everything in the environment is a trigger to our emotions, our physical body and spirit. That is why it is so important to balance your environment with things that make you feel good!!!
The monthly stars move monthly affecting the energy of everyone. However, they will doubly affect those associated with those areas. Everyone should place the cures. Do not panic if the stars look bad for one month. There are four sectors that are always negativity affected and four sectors that are positively affected. The outcome depends upon the whole picture of the feng shui of your home, the annual stars of your home, your chart interaction, and your luck pillars. It is a layering process and the monthly stars are only one aspect of the layer. Watch the pattern and if the energy seems unstable, lay low that month and make no serious decisions. There are also daily star that fly in and weaken or strengthen the day. So do not PANIC. Have fun with it and pay attention.
Aspects of the stars are as follows: #1 Career luck, #2 Illness, #3 Conflict, #4 Literary Recognition, #5 instability, #6 power and authority, #7 Evil, #8 Money, and #9 Expansion.
This month, the negative #5 star flies to center of the ba-gua affecting the stability of everyone. Place a 5 element metal pagoda in the center of your home. Also, place a bowl of salt water or even a bowl of salt with metal items in it. Try not to make important decisions this month without a surety in outcome. The water and metal will stabilize the negative energy of the #5. On a whole, we may still see world instability. Be careful with money.
The negative #7 flies to the west this month. The West already has the #2 annual star of illness this year. Those with illness should avoid this area this month, if possible. Use moving water to weaken the energy of the #7. If it is your bedroom, place salt water under your bed. NO moving water in the bedroom. Place a wu-luo or the White Tara statue or Madonna by your bed. The rooster may need to get more rest and take no risks. Also to protect against lawsuit or attack, place a blue rhino in this area or a bowl of blue detergent in a corner to balance.
To buffer the San Sha, place a vase of water and a plant or tree in the East of your home. Wear Jade and lots of green and water (blue and black) colors.
The auspicious #8 of money flies into the NE, especially benefiting the Ox and Tiger. This ho-tu combination is good money luck. Put citrine crystals in this area. Display the wish fulfilling ox in this area. Keep well lit and active this month.
The Northwest is especially auspicious, as well. The pig and the boar will especially benefit this month if your stars are all lined. Display items of hope in this area. Use the Northwest for hopes of career advancement this year. Since my book is due to release in a few days, I will place the first copy of it in this corner and move it accordingly for the year to advance its career. Place collage of intentions in this area.
The Southeast is also especially auspicious with the #4 of luck flying into it. Since the #8 annual star of money is already in this place, the conflict of earth and wood may affect stability. Use lighting or a little red to buffer this affect and activate with moving water.
Place water at the front door of the South this month to buffer high fire energy.
Place extra water in the North for the #1 luck star.
This month may be a little unstable on a worldwide basis with the #5 in the center of the ba-gua, however, if you stabilize your home and personal 4-pillar chart, with common sense, you will benefit this month from the #8, #6, and #1 in auspicious positions. Stay focused on your goals and do not get distracted by the world’s instability. Turn off the tv if you must and don't read the papers if the energy is too heavy. Like Peter Pan think happy thoughts and focus on a plan for your future.
