That Darn Dragon!!

That darn Black Water Dragon still rattling cages this month. The aspect will end soon. This month was slated to be another unstable month. On March 6th, the wood or wind energy of #4 flew to the center of the ba-gua clashing with metal energy. It will remain there until April 6. On April 6th, the #3 of Thunder will fly to the center clashing with Metal. Next month, be careful of lightening strikes and powerful thunder storms probably bringing with it more wind.

Excerpts from the Black Water Dragon Book--[As I researched the past weather patterns of 1952, I found some interesting history to support the aspects of the Water Dragon. On January 24, 1952 a sudden heavy snowfall hit Algeria. Algeria? Algeria is in Africa!! What the heck??? Then February 2, a tropical storm formed just north of Cuba
and made landfall in southern Florida by the next day marking the earliest formation and reported tropical storm on record in the Atlantic basin. Records also show that on March 16th and 17th of 1952, 73 inches of rain fell in Cilaos, Réunion, a French Island in the Indian Ocean making this the
most rainfall EVER in one day. Tornadoes hit in March in the lower Mississippi River Valley leaving 208 people dead with historic property damage. Adding to the unpredictable weather patterns of 1952, five Norwegian seal hunting vessels disappeared during a severe storm near West Ice, East of Greenland on April 5th without a trace taking with it 78 seal hunters.]

Tornados and the Black Dragon energy

I know you probably get tired of hearing about my Black Dragon predictions but like Meryl Streep said at the academy awards--aww--who cares!! : )  

My Master of Feng Shui taught me that everything has a pattern. Look for the pattern and the rhythm and you will find the answer. AND never ignore the pattern of behavior. The Black Water dragon occurs every 60 years. Well, the bad news is the tornados of the Midwest are following a  weather pattern of the Water dragon of 1952. As seen in the prediction below--Tornadoes hit in March in the lower Mississippi River Valley leaving 208 people dead with historic property damage.  Hopefully we don't see that type of damage again due to new improved weather monitoring.

Excerpt from Black Water Dragon 2012--Year of Opportunities---'As I researched the past weather patterns of 1952, I found some interesting history to support the aspects of the Water Dragon. On January 24, 1952 a sudden heavy snowfall hit Algeria. Algeria? Algeria is in Africa!! What the heck??? Then February 2, a tropical storm formed just north of Cuba
and made landfall in southern Florida by the next day marking the earliest formation and reported tropical storm on record in the Atlantic basin. Records also show that on March 16th and 17th of 1952, 73 inches of rain fell in Cilaos, Réunion, a French Island in the Indian Ocean making this the

Adding to the unpredictable weather patterns of 1952, five Norwegian seal hunting vessels disappeared during a severe storm near West Ice, East of Greenland on April 5th without a trace taking with it 78 seal hunters.'

THE GOOD NEWS IS--The water dragon symbolized money, opportunity, and luck. So as in the yin and yang--money and opportunity is available this year to all who seek its responsibility!!!

Spring Equinox in Conjunction with Full Moon

Spring Equinox in Conjunction with Full Moon

Spring is the sign of New Beginnings.  Today begins a new cycle of making the decision to let go of the old and manifesting a vision to welcome the new. This means walking your talk. There is a lot of talking out there but it can only hold power for you when you walk it.  Believe me, when you talk and don’t walk, people quit listening.  When you walk the talk, people notice.

With the Spring Equinox, we move into the sign of Aries of action which this year immediately conjuncts Uranus, a planet of freedom and independence. Aries is a fiery sign, which rebels against the norm and is the risk taker. This is the time, to make put your walk into action.  The economy is stressful; the war disturbing, and the weather patterns are horrible. Everywhere, you hear people blaming and complaining. However, you can choose to react or respond to the difficulties in your life.  You can focus or scatter. You can choose to follow or lead. You can have sour lemons or make lemonade. That choice is always yours.

You can choose today and each day after to step through the fear of the unknown and have faith in your own abilities. Take a deep breath and put one foot in front of the other and make the changes you have been speaking of lately.

According to Feng Shui principles, the spring season activates the element of wood. Wood holds the energy of new growth and creativity.  The wood element and the springtime is when focus and clarity is at its peak, however, the wood element also activates the unresolved emotions of anger.  Anger is housed in the liver and gall bladder, thus making the springtime an excellent time to become pro active for cleansing your body and getting your body in shape for the year. 

As you are coming off the hibernation of the winter, the body energy is stagnant from lack of sunlight and fresh air.  Circulation is sluggish. This is the time to go outside, take some deep breaths and allow the new energy of spring to circulate through the body. Allow the sunlight and Vitamin D to soak through the skin and into the organs.  Begin a short exercise program if you have not already done so. Swimming, walking, Tai Chi, or easy yoga is a good way to start warming up the body for summer.

You may wish to add a short liver cleanse to your routine.  This cleanse will help the body release the toxins quicker as you are exercising. Apple cider vinegar is a great liver cleanse.  One that was recommended to me by a massage therapist is simply one with Apple Cider Vinegar. You take 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar stirred in water approximately 15 minutes before you each meal your eat or you can eat 2 tsp of Apple cider vinegar with your meals on a salad or in your food. Do this three times a day for three days in a row.  You may also take a 20 minutes soak in one quart of vinegar to a bathtub of water.

Disclaimer: As with anything, check with your medical doctor if you are on any medications or in ill health to make sure the cleanse is safe and does not interfere with medication.

During a cleanse you may feel somewhat headachy, tired, or nauseated.  You may see skin eruptions as the toxins are cleansed from the liver. This is normal, however be careful of too harsh of a cleanse.  They are totally unnecessary. 

During your cleanse, remove all alcohol, tobacco, sugar, dairy, and soda from your diet. Try to eat raw fruits and vegetables as much as possible.

The detox foot baths and body massage will also help remove the toxins from your body quicker. You may also wish to use milk thistle as a liver rejuvenator.

After the cleanse you may find a new clarity and focus. This is the time to put vision into motion. Have a plan, start today by journaling your intentions for the things in your life that you wish to manifest. Each morning as you begin your day, get focused.

Enjoy, life is short. Don’t waste it on trivial worry. Life it with passion. 

Full Moon Meditation for Peace and Calm

Tonight is the Full Moon and a good time to cleanse  your sun/moon mirrors, crystals, monthly and annual feng shui adjustments, and/or jewelry  in the moon light. If you have had struggles in your marriage, this is a good time  to clean your wedding rings to dissipate old negative issues and begin a new cycle of positive energy.

Place these items  in a glass bowl of water- outside on the earth- and let the moonlight  infuse  it. Secondly, place another vase or container full of water on the earth  in the moon light to be used in your bath or  to drink.  This water in the moon creates a balance in the body  between the earth and the feminine energy of the moon and the masculine energy of the  heavens.  It cleanses, balances, and restores calm and peace. You may wish to cover the container  if you plan to drink it. The energy will still infuse through the glass.  It is important to remember to bring in the water before the sun comes up.

Next you can make Sun Water by placing more containers of water, exactly as you did with  the Moon water, in the sun on the day of or day after the full moon. The Sun water helps to balance the Yang energy of the body. Place the glass container on the ground in direct bright sunlight for about 30 minutes maximum. Too much energy is as bad as too little.  The sunlight will infuse the water with the full spectrum of universal light  energy--white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, and indigo-black--  and will nourish the part of the body associated with the corresponding color. This  can be very energizing and can help support the body  to heal from yin ailments  which are cold and damp in nature-cold, flu, pneumonia, intestinal and stomach weakness, etc.

Tonight--in the full light of the moon, meditate, journal, and expand upon the mysteries of life. Say a prayer for those around you in need. I especially ask that you  pray for Japan and its people as well as the earth. The earth, the sky and the water have been contaminated with radiation. Pray for its quick recovery as well. May we see one day how important the preservation of the earth and its resources are to man's healthy survival.

I am going to ask for a personal prayer from everyone as well for my great niece and nephew--Addison and Cooper Luth,  who have been in a NIC unit on ventilators since they were born on Tuesday. Please send them some healing energy and prayers for their little bodies and lungs. I also ask you to send some prayers of peace and comfort to their parents, Kyle and Lori Luth. They have endured so much chaos these last few days. I wish them peace.

 Also, If you have anyone in need who needs extra prayer and energy, feel free to submit their names to the message board and prayers will also be sent to them. Thank you so much for your spirit in my life.

Have a wonderful day and Full moon night!! Bask in the beauty, absorb its beauty and be the beauty.  Lv M

The Year of the Golden Rabbit rears its Head!!

As I told my students at my Chinese New Year of The Golden Rabbit class--because the rabbit lives underground this will be a year of secrecy and unexpected events which will come out of left field, much like a rabbit darting from his hole and appearing out of nowhere with no warning. This year has already proven to be very secret with government strategies in several states passing legislation which is not helpful to its people. Utah, Idaho, and Wisconsin have all tried to pass legislation which is a direct slap in the face to those who have been support by the congress in the past. The rabbit is also a community animal so we will continue this year to see people bond together to bring change whether it is via protest, uprisings, or formal meetings. We have already seen the trend this year in Libya, Egypt, and Pakistan. We are seeing protest here in the states as well making known the dissatisfaction with the government decisions to take rights away from groups of individuals who have had protection in the past. Idaho is working on taking a tenure for teachers and Wisconsin is working on dissolving union rights. Utah has implemented a privacy law that press and individuals be blocked from basically the interworking of the state government by blocking access to text and email messaging. This trend may go on all year so people will need to be diligent and stay connected and like the rabbit--stay aware of such secret maneuvers, which come from nowhere. This is the year though that we may see radical change in units of government or religion worldwide. Good and Bad. People who band together may wield incredible power with commitment and focus. This may also come to pass in your private life as well. We may see people banding together to bring positive changes to everyday quality of life.   Here is an excerpt from page #5  my Xin Mao-Year of the Golden Rabbit Book which is a big concern this year and we have already seen some of it played out on television.  Be sure to place water, water,water in the home to buffer these aspects and calm your energy.  The lack of earth will lend to instability in home, business, government and religion, thus bringing change. This imbalance can lead to a lack of resource and weakened earth energy of the feeling of security and grounding.  We may see more mental breakdowns this year due this lack. Use meditation and reach out for human touch. DO NOT ISOLATE!! WHEN YOU ARE FEELING DOWN—REACH OUT FOR HELP!!  Anxiety may run high this year with rapid heart beat again, especially around the full moon cycle. The important thing is don’t panic, but seek to understand what your body is trying to tell you about the direction your life is going and what you need to do to work through it. With the lack of water for renewal and cleansing, this may also be a challenging year with a continuing pattern of war. Without the presence of water to weaken and rust metal, the metal aspect is still there symbolizing weapons, aggression, and/or war.  The yang metal in the day and month pillar will seek to influence aggression. The fire in the emotion pillar will agitate an already explosive situation.  We may see more explosions and plane crashes.  Use water, water, water in your home and business to buffer this effect.  The earth may again cause the water to burst from the skies to balance its own water supply. To help stabilize your home and the world from some of these disasters place a San Sui, which is a picture of calm mountain with water, in the home either at the back or center of the home. Place water in the center of your home this year. The complete e-book is available at www.maryshurtleff.com

Feng Shui Aspects for March 2011

Feng Shui Aspects for March 2011

Welcome to the year of the Golden Rabbit. With the Golden Rabbit we will see some good months for money and opportunity and bad months for money and opportunity.  

The 2^nd month of the Chinese New Year is a Rabbit month and begins on March 6^th.    This year, March will hold the energy of the monthly Rabbit in tandem with the year’s energy of the Golden Rabbit bringing a double Rabbit influence to the table. .  This month we will have double sectors of good luck and double sectors of instability.

For good fortune, place water and citrine stones in the Northwest of the home or office to enhance money prospects.  Place 6 pieces of metal coin in the Southeast of your home or business.

The Southwest of the home is the intimacy sector. For improved relationships place peonies or pairs of items in the Southwest of your home. This month is lined up for romance and pregnancy.  If you are wishing to get pregnant, you may be able to do so in the Southwest of your home this month.  The rabbit is fertile this year so be careful of any unwanted pregnancies.  We may also see more multiple births this year.

We may see more victory and celebration around family this year as well as divorce and hardship. The stars are lined up for infidelities in marriage this year and this month is especially strong. Being forewarned is forearmed.  Be careful; don’t play if you don’t wish to pay. Be wise in your choices.

March’s monthly flying stars line up with the annual flying star influences and could be chock full of instability and change due to the #7 of instability in the center of the home, business, and universal ba-gua.  To offset this aspect, place water in the center of your home to calm and absorb negative energy.  Also place the color blue.

Be cautious of the areas in the South and East this month. Both areas may be ripe for accidents to the limbs or head.  To further protect your energy, place salt water in the East, either in the form of half salt and half water mixture and/or even a bowl of salt or salt candle or lamp in this area. The salt also absorbs negative energy. You may also place a sigil protection symbol on your front door if your doorway faces either of these directions.   Place a metal wu-lou in the South of your home, bedroom, or office to stave off illness and accident.

This month may also be shrouded in groups jockeying for position of power. We may see more global civil uprising all month. We may see people banding together to get ideas across to those in control whether it is religion, government, private business or home front.  Be kind, be fair, be honest and you will be just fine if faced with conflict. Open all lines of communication when possible.  Again, place water in the center of your home or business to offset this energy. Also add the color blue to the center of your home.  Be aware, you have been warned. Walk away from conflict this month. Next month will be better. 

The second day of March begins in opposition with the yin Metal Rooster. The rabbit and rooster, on the zodiac wheel, oppose each other.  This day may energetically cause universal conflict. The flying stars for the month is 7 and the day star is 7. Be extremely careful of any foolish risks today. Don’t threaten, don’t aggress, and don’t look for trouble. You will most certainly find it. Save it for the next day. The next day is a calm water dog day. This energy could linger for a week or two so place salt water in the East and the West to calm and offset the metal energy.  Take no chances today with any aspect of your life—health, money, or relationship.  

This is a month to be quiet and prepare and harvest. Take only calculated risks. Real estate this month could be on the upswing. Sadly gas prices will also continue to rise. However, with that said, money and job opportunities could increase and prosper as well for all.

Be sure to make sure your annual flying stars feng shui is in place.

Winter Solstice

Winter Solstice

I have heard so many people saying that they are not ready for Christmas this year. This simply means your rhythms with the seasons of the year are out of balance.  Your created the chaos, now uncreate it. Simplify your life and get your rest so you can think clearer--Inner Feng Shui. Life is a journey, not a destination. Slow down. Stop, reflect, and breathe. The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year and is the season of hibernation and inward reflection. The sun is farthest away from earth and the air and ground are cold, causing our bodies and minds to turn inward for conservation. The winter season is a time of freezing water as it evolves to beautiful reflections of frost and ice crystals. Life seems to stand still for a moment with the beauty of purity, quiet, and peace. Take a moment and breathe in and honor this beauty. Winter is a time of slumber and rebirth. The winter is naturally a time to conserve energy. As the body and mind slows with the cold allow the body to rest and rebuild. Limit your activities to honor the natural bio-rhythms of the season and its compatibility with the body. Set priorities of what you can and can't do. AND do it. Delegate if you must. Put unnecessary things on hold. Hire others to help you, if you are too far behind. It will be the best money ever spent. The cold and dark days can cause a Seasonal Affect disorder within the body. In the days of old, people would go to bed, rest and honor their body rhythms. Our society, today, doesn't do that. We feel as though we have to squeeze every drop of activity out of the day. Life and times have changed and so must our approach to it. I know first hand about seasonal affect disorder. It can cause the body to become very tired and somewhat depressed emotionally. The desire to sleep is increased as the melatonin increases and serotonin decreases. Instead of fighting this natural rhythm, do like the bear, and honor the body's natural rhythms. Get more rest and relax your schedule. Don't take life so seriously, this time of year. Exercise, light therapy, and increased exposure to plants, fire, and running water can reinvigorate the body and set it on a more even keel by creating a more stable sleep pattern. Sleep is needed the most during these month for good health, however the life force of chi must still circulate appropriately. Eat earth foods during the winter to conserve body energy and warmth. Earth foods involve meat and potatoes. Digestion slows and these food fill you up. Find winter festivals and celebrations with music and warm fire to invigorate the mind. Ski and sled in the sun. Make sure you are home by dark, so the body can wind down and rest in the darkness. Be secure in the knowledge the spring time of creativity and growth will come soon enough. However in the mean time use this dark time to reflect upon the rebirth of the spring and the Solar New Year which will occur on February 4th. Rest, but begin planning and manifesting your next move. Organize your new year accordingly. The spring of the year, February 4th is the beginning of the Chinese Solar New Year and opening yourself up to new possibilities. The summer season is a full swing of activity. You are in full bloom with maximum activity. The autumn is a winding down of energy. A time to prepare for the harvest and to begin preparing for the winter rest. The cold winter is the time of slumber and renewal. Start organizing your life to meet that natural cycle of the year's cycle. Your body and mind will thank you. You will find you are better prepared for the holiday season's next year

December Feng Shui Aspects

Feng Shui aspects for December—Disclaimer: These aspects are strictly the opinion, research, and observations of Mary Shurtleff and are no way to be used as fact but only insight. Use you own common sense to discover what is right for you.

 

Almost to the Calendar New Year, 2010. Can you believe it? This year has flown by and not just for me but also for others, who have felt like they were surfing on fire being pulled in so many directions with so many changes. Changes of jobs, residences, family (lots of celebrations and endings), and attitudes.

 

If you recall Uranus, the planet of rebellion, turned direct on December 1^st. Uranus is retrograde for more than five months out of the year. This direct movement of Uranus will free you from those things that have been restraining you. You will no longer feel the desire to live within conventional way if they are not working for you. With this influence, we may see again changes of job, residences, family, and attitudes.  If you recall Uranus rules electricity or electromagnetic energy and creates that chaos of a lightening storm in order to clear the air. Once the air is cleared and refreshed, new pathways are blazed. Independence thinking and freedom are heightened in the New Calendar Year.

This influence will also be present during the Chinese New Year, which arrives on February 14, 2010, when the Golden Tiger appears. The Golden Tiger will arrive with an entrance fitting of the Tiger. The Tiger is steely, independent, confident, stealth, quick,  and powerful. The golden or metal tiger will be sharp, courageous, determined, and prefers to work hunt alone. This can make 2010 a tumultuous year with rebellion emerging bringing with it chaos and confusion. Things may turn on a dime with the quickness of the Tiger energy.  The Tiger will roar and be heard.  Remember to look into the eye of the Tiger. What do you see in the EYE of the TIGER—it will be the reflection of you. Will the tiger eat you or will you ride the back of the Tiger. The Tiger's influence will offer courage, bold actions and risk taking to achieve your goal of independence and the right to live your life the way you wish.

 

This will give way to the beginning of the New World Consciousness. People will begin to think for themselves, not blindly following government, religion, or society’s rules. We will see more rioting and backlash against establishment.  We will see people, who have blindly followed in the past, questioning authority.

 

The New World Consciousness of 2012 is not the end of the world, but the beginning. I have to laugh when I see people panicking over the demise of the world. The 2012 will be a change in world consciousness from the patriarchal control and conquer approach to a more intellectual, maternal approach based upon intuition, spirituality, and compassion. It will be the beginning of man finding his own power of being connected to Cosmos force or God. It will also signify the return of the woman as a Goddess. Women around the world are already feeling the new energy and are aggressively starting to reject oppression at any cost. They are stepping up and into their power.  

 

The one true Spirit of God will be felt and the false prophets and institution will have to adjust or fall. The fear, guilt,  and shadows of doubt will no longer work as the key to control. People have moved beyond that limitation.

 

A new impendence can emerge but probably not without the tenacity of the Tiger. The tiger is feminine energy in the Chinese Form School feng shui so with that we will see women emerging fast and hard.  If the trend does continue we could see a woman in the White House in 2012.

 

In this revelation of World Consciousness,  wo/man will take on her/his own power  of deeper thinking to be able to take the steps needed  for  her/him self to manifest all that he desires. But there will be a tricky part. With the thought continuum of collective consciousness the force of good vs. evil will struggle. It is important to always focus on the positive because the negative is definitely easier to manifest. It is easier to be angry and fight for war instead of being vulnerable and patient  and press forward  for peace. The Metal Gold element of tiger will bring logic, discipline, and tenacity to accomplish your goals. Be diligent-be wise.

 

The Metal Tiger will be a year of personal independence and freedom. However with independence and freedom comes responsibility and accountability. Those who have prepared will prosper. Those who have been co-dependent or victims of their own doing will struggle with the idea of taking responsibility without blaming others.  The year of Tiger will expose those weaknesses, bring them to light, and make them accountable whether they wish to be or not. It is a year of reckoning for all of those who have been manipulated or felt controlled by others.  Balance can be found. The struggle may come to an end, if that is what they  wish.

 

For the month of December, the #4 of prosperity, romance and opportunity flies to the center of the home this month. Place 4 bamboos in the center of your home to enhance  prosperity.  You may also place crystals in this sector for travel and study luck. For romantic luck in your home place your peach blossom animal here. If your year animal is a rat, dragon, or monkey, place a golden rooster; if you are a tiger, horse, or dog, place a green rabbit ;  if you are a snake, ox, or rooster, place a red horse; If you are a rabbit, sheep, or pig, place a blue rat.

 

The #5 of instability moves to the NW of the father, Dog, and Pig this month joining the annual star of #1 career, possibly  bringing instability to career.  The #5 of instability is not always a bad thing. It sometimes forces the change of things that we are procrastinating about  but  know that we need to change. The #5 pushes it to happen so new opportunity can be exposed. Place salt water in this area. Place your wealth deities in NW to stabilize career.  Also be careful of health when the #5 appears. Place your metal wu-luo in this area especially if your bedroom resides  here. Place a  Longevity God in this area of Heaven of the NW to keep good health flowing.

 

The #6 of power and authority moves to the West  of the Rooster.  This symbol of power and authority may activate the male’s needs for ideas of war. The West Wing of the White House and the symbol of the Eagle  (Rooster) indicate that the United States will be involved more deeply in war this month. We may see more aggression with weapons and war like behavior this month. Place still water to calm any male aggressive behavior in the home as well as  a prayer  for the safety of the troops and for a solution to find world peace.

To activate your personal authority and power place 6 Chinese coins in the west with small water. This will activate windfall luck. If you home faces west, place it at the front door.

 

The #6  pairs with the #2 of illness and weakens the  #2 of illness aspect. However, be sure to leave all annual adjustments in place.

 

The nasty #7 of instability flies to the NE of the Ox and Tiger and meets the #3 of conflict. Place  the color blue or a moving water feature in this area to weaken the metal sword of the #7.  If you home faces the NE use the moving water at your front door, to the left side as you are looking out.  Leave a light on in the NE sector of your home to calm the clash of the #3 wood and the #7 metal. Also be sure to place the Red Buddha in the NE to symbolize happy home and good fortune.

 

For conflict issues or lawsuits, write on a blue piece of paper, “ I pray for a quick resolution to all conflicts this month. I pray that all legal situations be solved to my highest good.” Place this blue paper in the West under a bowl of WATER!!! 

 

The Ox and Tiger need to be especially careful of burglary. Do not walk alone at night, lock your doors, and be aware of your surrounding. Carry the Tui Sai amulet with you for protection. Also place a Blue Rhino at your front door or in your car.  Be careful of saying and doing the wrong thing this month. Use water to calm. Don’t make yourself a target.

 

The #8 of money flies to the South of the Horse bringing money luck to the horse and South facing home. Place a moving water feature in the South of the home to enhance and encourage money to arrive. With the #4 and #8 combination, there is a chance of literary success and completion. Place 4 lucky bamboos in this area as well.

 

The #9 Star flies to the North of the rat  this month where the #5 annual of instability reside for the year. This enhances the #5. Because of the #5, place peacock feathers to protect you and your home. Make sure your annual salt water cure is active and full. If it is looking yucky, toss it and make a new one. Salt is cheap. If you house faces North, I always recommend a salt line at the front door.  The #5 brings health issues so be careful of kidney, bladder, stomach and blood pressure or heart  issues this month.  Place the wu-luo to protect health. 

 

The Southwest  is the luckiest sector of the home this month. The #1 of career flies into the SW of Woman, Sheep and Monkey. The #6 of the annual star is still powerful in this area, so be sure to have your 6 Chinese coins or metal coins already in place with a moving water feature. If your home faces the SW put water at your front door with the coins in it.   Place a laughing Buddha in the Southwest to welcome in the prosperity and remind you to laugh as you are enjoying your bounty.

 

The #2 of illness flies to the  East of rabbit.  Place the wu-luo or calabash in this area this month. Pregnant woman and elderly woman should take care in this sector this month. Eat right, exercise and get your rest. Wear magnetic hematite or tourmaline to protect the body.

 

Remember the East Rabbit also has the three killings in this area. Place extra wood and water to buffer the three killings.   Make sure your ki-luns are placed properly. Be careful of your limbs, muscles, and nerves.  Liver may also be affected. Place a bowl of water and blue soap in the East to weaken this aspect. Keep all lighting, noise, and movement minimal this month. Place a blue rhinoceros in this area if possible.

 

To buffer the #7 for conflict issues or lawsuits, write on a blue piece of paper, “ I pray for a quick resolution to all conflicts this month. I pray that all legal situations be solved to my highest good.” Place this blue paper in the East under a bowl of WATER!!! 

 

The rabbit may feel especially vulnerable this month emotionally as  well as physically.   Wear magnetic hematite, labrodorite, or kyanite to push back energy from your body. Always focus on the goal. Be in the now!!  Don’t get distracted by other people’s drama. Place a rooster in the East to deflect gossip and tongue wagging.

 

The #3 of conflict flies into South East of the Dragon and Snake this month.  Remember conflict is a catalyst of change so embrace it if it should occur. Place a red Buddha in the Southeast to remind you of peace, joy, and good fortune. Added lighting in this area helps to shed the light on situations of conflict. Also place a raw crystal in this area to activate the subconscious mind and its depths of wisdom.

 

I wish you a month of miracles. Have a Merry Christmas. Remember all your blessings and help those who may need a hand out or leg up. I ask that each one of you reading this donate a turkey, some food product, or their time to their local food bank or adopt a child off an Angel tree.  There are many struggles out there right now and a random act of kindness moves forth ten fold. Thank you. Love M.

 

 

Disclaimer: Don’t get caught up in the dire aspects. Use the appropriate elements to balance. That is what feng shui is about. Balancing out those areas, which fly out of balance through out the year.  If you ignore it or poo poo it you may be affected. Just place the adjustments, go about your business, and enjoy your life. Give it attention/no.
