9/9/09 Gateway Energy

Cosmology is the study of the Universe in its totality, and humanity's place in it. It can be classified as a study of the universe and it long history involving science, philosophy, esotericism, and religion.

 

The universe and it stars, planets, and movement has an immediate effect upon the human body. We have heard so much the 9/9/09 and the cosmic crystalline gateway opening on that day and the effect it may have upon humanity.

 

This gateway may be some of the reason Time seems to feel as though it is speeding up and moving at light speed. With this increased movement of the earth, the human body, animals, and plants will feel the effects as well.

 

We have heard so much about this gateway of 9/9/09 being a time when the vibrational level of the earth rises and unconditional love and peaceful energy will be moving into mankind.

 

The 9 in numerology is about service to humanity and the ending of a cycle. The numbers 3-6-9 are all Goddess numbers, which can be divided by 3. The number 9/9/09 = 27 and can be divisible by 3 back to 9. Those with 3-6-or 9 in their birth numerology may be especially open to this energy giving them exceptional intuitional energy.

 

This is wonderful, however be aware, as the body prepares for this ascension process, your body may become very sensitive to energy and your intuition or psychic levels may reach an all time high. It is so important to recognize these signs of empathic ability coming into the body and/or buffering and making sense of them. The body may experience sensitivity to sound, light, and chaos. You may find yourself and those around you very sensitive to all energy around you. This will happen whether you believe in it or not. Just watch how people around you are acting.

 

You may find that you or those around you, feel more grouchy, irritable, or angrier than usual. You may have a tendency to be quicker. You will drive faster, move faster, and talk quicker. You want it RIGHT NOW!! Traffic and slow people will make you insane. Consciously, tell yourself to slow down, breath--it is okay!!!  You may also experience some light-headedness or dizziness. It will pass.

 

To the extreme, you may feel depressed and/or tired as well. You may feel some dark thoughts if your vibrational level is sloughing off past emotions and replacing them with more enlightened ones. If you do feel out of sorts, it is okay. Let it happen. You have to release the old to accept the new. Liken it to putting new coffee in yesterday's half full, cold coffee cup. You have to empty it and cleanse it before you want to refill it.

 

Once you are aware of what is happening, you are able to process the anger or irritability out of yourself. When the vibration level of the body rises, it has to slough off any fears, angers, hates and resentments not in alignment with the ascension process. Unfortunately instead of feeling bliss and peace, you may feel agitated and even experience some flashbacks of difficulties from your past. Go with these experiences. Laughing and crying are the only way the body can release these emotions. Some may also experience actual body pain, nausea, diarrhea, and/or flu like symptoms as the body releases toxins. If this should happen, relax; drink plenty of fluids, and rest. Meditate on the release and acceptance.

 

You must feel them, make sense of them, make peace with them as a life process and let them gooooooooooooo away to the cosmos to be healed by the increased vibration levels.

 

As you release the dark emotions of your experiences, let the light of the cosmos fill your body with unconditional love and peace. Know that life is a process to be experience and felt. We are living humans with senses and emotions. Use them, experience them, and feel your life to its fullest. There are no rules, there are no wrongs, there are only lessons and illusions of how we see our life unfolding.

 

You are the artist and you get to paint your canvas. Tomorrow, focus only on the positive of what you wish to have in your life. It is all good. Let the shadows and fears go into the cosmos and allow yourself to open up the higher frequency of the light of the universe and feel the light of God flood through you with a new power and understanding of who you are and your place within the world. You may wish to wear magnetic hematite or tourmaline to neutralize and push back some of the energy around you. Make sure all your water features are working. They will help release negatives ions in the air and refresh. All is good, no worries.

 

Being forewarned is forearmed. Don't take someone else's anger or irritability personal. In fact, don't take anything personal the next few days. In a few days the energy will calm. Onward and upward is the mantra of the day!!!

Love M.

September Feng Shui Aspects

 

Feng Shui aspects for September—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.

 

See July post about Uranus being in retrograde until December 1^st bringing unexpected news and developments.

 

In September the #7 of instability flies to the center of the Ba-gau. Since this is the center of the home we will see a lot of instability and jockeying for position this month. Unfortunately, the #7 of metal combining with the #9 of fire can cause violence and explosion, possibly a terrorism attack or big plane crash may be on the horizon.  Fires could be prevalent this month as well. Be vigilant. This is big energy, so be careful with the any explosives or fire this month.

 

The heart and lung area could feel weakened this month so take care of your health this month. The swine flu or anything of heart and lung could outbreak or begin to outbreak. The stomach or digestion may also be affected because of the ‘fire in the belly.’ Take care of yourself. Eat right, sleep properly, and stay active to move the chi in and out of the body properly. Blocked chi is bad chi!!!   Use water to calm this energy. Water, water, water in the center of your home.  The fire energy can also affect the thinking and the brain energy. Stroke may also be a factor this month. Use water, water, and water in the center of your home.  Oh, did I say it yet, Use WATER, WATER, WATER, to rust the metal and put out the fire. Remove extra lighting and wind chimes from the center of your home for this month. You can replace it next month, but this month, be diligent. 

 

You may find yourself also feeling full of fighting energy. Curb this tendency with water sports, swimming, baths, and extra water in your diet. Did I say yet, WATER, WATER, and WATER??  You may also place large amounts of the color blue in this area.

 

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 center of your home under, yep, a bowl of WATER!!! 

 

The monthly #8 of money flies to the Northwest of the dog and pig bringing money luck, fortune and cause for celebration. The annual #1 already in the Northwest with the #8 forms an imbalance between earth, metal, and water. Use water with gold coins and citrine stone in this area to activate and balance.   If your front door is located in this space, put the water outside your front door to the left of your door as you are looking outside. The pig and dog may see promotions and increase in income this month. Everyone can benefit as well. Place the monkey on the back of the metal horse in this area.

 

 The #9 of fire moves to the West of metal causing another volatile combination. Use water to calm here as well. The same applies to this area that applies to the center of the home. Go back and apply all adjustments for the center of the home to the area of the West, as well.  The #2 star of illness in this area will be stronger so use water and common sense when it comes to your health this month. The Rooster needs to be especially diligent of his health.

 

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.  

 

The #1 of water and career flies to the NE of the Tiger and Ox bringing with it a relief to some of the conflict these animals have been feeling.  The added water energy will cause the #3 to struggle and get soggy.  This brings career luck to this area. Members of a NE facing house may be in line for advancement or job change for advancement. Place water or symbols of water in this area for uplift for career energy. Place objects for career opportunities. If you are looking for a new career this is the month to put the wheels in motion; use water objects, turtles, fish, water features, aquariums, etc to bring career luck inside.

 

The #2 of Illness flies to the South of the horse. Those in a South facing home and the horse need to be especially care of health. Use water to downplay fire energy of the south. The water will also cause the breakdown of the #2 earth illness star.  Avoid sleeping in this area if possible. If you must sleep here, place a Wu Lou or Calabash by your bed. Watch your health, get your rest and eat right.

 

You may also place peacock feathers in your home to bring in the energy of the Goddess Kwan Yin. You may also place a White Tara or Laughing Buddha to bring not only a feeling of comfort and peace but laughter and love.  

 

I got extremely ill last weekend, not sure yet just why, but I think it had something to do with the Virgo aspect moving into the month and my South Facing home.  Pay attention. A lot of times we pay attention, too late, like I did. I was feeling spunky and invincible and got nailed. When I start looking at the aspects of movement, this aspect was moving in with other aspects moving out. I got careless.

 

The #3 of conflict flies to the North where the Rat resides. The annual star of the #5 resides in this area. The #3 and #5 can wreak havoc on your nerves this month. Again, SALTWATER, SALT WATER, SALT WATER.  The North facing home may see a stressful month in family and business relations. Keep your head low and watch your tongue.  Since the #5 annual resides in this area, reset your salt water cure. Use raw crystals to stabilize the unsteady earth energy and to uplift the spirits. Place a crystal at your front door if your home faces north. If your bedroom is in this area place the crystals under your bed.  Take all red out of this area this month.

 

The #4 of wood and literary recognition flies to the SW of the home.  The monkey and the sheep or friends of the monkey and sheep may see new romance and literary recognition that brings cash windfall. This area will be especially auspicious for the woman. Place 4 bamboos in this area with still water. Place your literary works, fine art or photography or video works in this area for higher recognition.

 

The #5 flies into East of the Rabbit and the eldest son, where the annual #7 of danger already resides. This month, the elder man could see opposition and needs to take care with his health. He could be in danger of conflict and injury.  PLACE A FRESH-- SALT WATER CURE!!!!  If your front door faces the East, place a salt line at the front door.  Place your chi luns and a bowl of blue detergent in this area to stabilize. Place water and plants in abundance in the East, inside and outside the home.  If this is your bedroom, place a wu lou in this area.  Since metal is so strong in this area with the annual #7, be careful of all sharp metal objects this month aka-knives, scissors, car accidents, etc. Place a crystal or peacock feathers in your car.   Again--Make sure your three-ki luns are in place with a bowl of blue detergent to work the energy of the unstable #7.  Be diligent don’t ignore this area and its influence this year.

 

Again, don’t panic. The influences will pass and all that is—will be. Remember, each experience is a learning lesson and discover what it is you are to learn. If it is suppose to happen it will. Until then, don’t sweat the small stuff. Focus on what it is you are to do and let God take care of the rest of the world. It is his job and not yours. Worry is like cigarette smoke. It stinks; it serves no purpose, and dissipates into the air when attention is directed away from it. So don’t bother with it. It is a waste of time. Live as if this is the best day of your life. What you focus upon, you will receive. Focus upon balance and harmony.

 

The monthly #6 of power and authority flies into the South East of the Snake and the Dragon bringing power and authority to all projects. This is an excellent time for fortune and money gain.  Place 6 Chinese Coins or gold ingots and jewels in this area. Everyone can activate this area for success.

 

This month we could see a month of good days and bad days. Be especially careful of the Center of the home, the North, the South, the East, and the West. Use water in abundance to calm these areas.  The good areas of the home this month are the Southeast, Northwest, Northeast, and Southwest.  Use the appropriate adjustments to enhance.

 

Have a good month!!! It could be an interesting ride with lots of good things happening offsetting the bad. 

August Feng Shui Aspects

Feng Shui aspects for August—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.

See last months post about Uranus being in retrograde until December 1^st bringing unexpected news and developments.

Since this is the sixth month of the Chinese New Year, check and/or replace all your salt water cures.  Recheck positions and directions of your pi yaos and ki luns. Things tend to get moved by others, so make sure all is right. Pull out your Chinese New Year book and recheck all the annual stars adjustment, as well, as you set your monthly stars.

This year has gone so quickly with the fire energy in the center of the ba-gua. With this high fire energy, I find myself talking so fast, driving way too fast, and getting impatient when someone is too slow or delayed!!! I don’t understand the hold-ups. The other night coming out of the parking lot at E center with all the traffic snarls made me insane. I was cussing and carrying on like an insane woman. My poor daughter just hid on the floorboards of the car.

I am aware I need to slow down and I think that is the universe’s way of saying so. I get blocked into a lane in traffic, (in the carpool lane- no less) I get in the slowest line at the check out and my computer is too slow. It drives me insane!!  Just because you are spiritual doesn’t always mean you are in control of earthly, physical emotions. They are what keep our life spicy!! Honor them or you will implode.

My 4-pillar profile has high wood so I feel like my pants are on fire this year.  I have too much going on and need to pull back. Darn fire energy. To offset this energy, I have added extra water to the center of my house. I have gone back to swimming and taking more baths instead of showers. I have made the conscious effect to drink more water.

Moral of Story: If you have been feeling extremely restless, anxious, nervous, or expecting everyone to jump faster- that darn fire energy is acting up with your body profile. Use extra water to calm.

In August, the #8 of money flies to the center of the home bringing cause for celebration and money luck.  This earth energy may also calm the #9 annual star already in place. Place a water feature with citrine stones in the water in the center of the home for money prosperity. With the #8 in the center of the home it is a wonderful time of celebration.  This month could be filled with good news. The economy of the world may be on the upswing for the month.  Look for causes to celebrate this month. Focus on the positive and your will receive the positive.  With the #9 annual star in the center of the ba-gua, place a light to light your path to new ideas and passions.  An excellent month for opportunity and money.

The monthly #9 of fire flies to the Northwest of the dog and pig bringing career money luck. The annual #1 already in the Northwest with the #9 forms the auspicious sum of ten creating very lucky money energy for the dog and pig as well as those who live in a NW facing home. Everyone may wish to active the NW of the home with extra up lighting in dark corners. Since this is an initial metal area for the ba-gua, be careful of the hot fire energy burning your out, especially the pig and the dog.  The male of the family needs to watch his health this month.  If a male sleeps in this area, place the wu-lou or calabash by his bed. However, my feeling is everyone should have those by their beds no matter what the aspect.

Use water to resolve the hot #9 energy. Be careful of lungs and skins. Eat right, control the firewater of alcohol, and get your rest and exercise.  This area this month is an oxymoron. Facilitate business ventures here, but watch the tendency to burn the candle at both ends. Be careful of actual fire in this area—candles, fireplaces, stoves, cigarettes, etc.

The #1 of water and career flies to the West of the Rooster. This brings career luck to this area. The rooster or members of a West facing house may be in line for advancement or job change for advancement. Place water or symbols of water in this area for uplift for career energy. Place objects for career opportunities. If you are looking for a new career this is the month to put the wheels in motion. With the annual #2 in this area, you still must watch your health in this area and be careful of accidents. Avoid sleeping in this area if possible. If you must sleep here, place a Wu Lou or Calabash by your bed. Watch your health, get your rest and eat right.

The monthly  #2 of earth and illness goes into the Northeast. The #2 unfortunately flies into #3 annual star.  Illness is not only physical body but also mental outlook. Place your metal wu-lous or calabash in this area to help protect the physical body. You may place anything of metal such as a five-tier pagoda, wind chime,metal abacus, or metal Ki Luns/ Pi-yaos fu-dogs, or a metal fan to weaken the illnessearth energy. You may also place peacock feather in your home to bring in the energy of the Goddess Kwan Yin. You may also place a White Tara or Laughing Buddha to bring not only a feeling of comfort and peace but laughter and love.  With the #3 already there, this could bean extremely confining and stressful month for the Tiger or Ox or the NE facing home for business or family relations. Place a RED laughing Buddha or added red in this area to burn off some of the conflict. There may be emotional ups and downs with family and friend as new boundaries are being set. Set a Gold Kwan Yin or Buddha in the North East of your home to offset this aspect. For relationship problems, set them by the bed.  Have patience. It will pass. Place a golden prayer or Mandela of peace in this area for comfort. Use small metal in this area to chop the #3 Wood conflict as well as the #2 earth.  Use small fire or reds to activate the energy of the original Northeast #8 Earth.  The elephant listens with his ear to the ground, therefore, to promote better listening practices, to avoid misunderstandings, lay a green elephant figurine on his side on your work desk or place where conversations or teachings are held. Those residing in the NE, Tiger, and Ox may feel the need to change jobs, relationship, etc. This conflict alignment may be the final straw for those to make this difference in there life. Be wise, calm, and informed if this should happen to you. However, with Uranus in retrograde, a sudden and unexpected decision to change these things may occur. Don’t panic, God closes a door but opens a window.  Place the crossed swords in the NE of the home to protect against lawsuit.  This is a tough combination but remember life and its events happen for a reason because better things are yet to come. Believe that and see the gift in it.

The #3 of wood flies to the South of the horse. The South facing home may see a stressful month in family and business relations. Keep your head low and watch your tongue.  Place a RED laughing Buddha or added red in this area to burn off some of the conflict. There may be emotional ups and downs with family and friend as new boundaries are being set. Place a rooster at your front door to drive away unwanted influences. The annual #4 star is already in place in this area. Students will prosper here.  With the #3 of yang wood and the #4 of yin wood, a feeling of discontentment may set in. This ADD moving energy will be hard to keep up with and can cause anxiety and nervousness. Use water to sooth the nerves and earth energy (stones and jewelry) to ground energy.

The #4 of wood and literary recognition is flying to the North.  Place 4 bamboos in this area. Also place your literary works, fine art or photography or video works in this area for higher recognition.  Since the #5 annual resides in this area, reset your salt water cure. The rat and North facing homes may see some relief this month with money luck and business luck. Display the monkey on horseback to lift career luck. If this is your peach blossom area, you may activate your peach blossom in this area.

The #5 flies into SW of woman and the area of the monkey and sheep.  PLACE A FRESH-- SALT WATER CURE!!!!  If your front door faces the SW, place a salt line at the front door. You may also place a 6-rod wind chime.  Be sure to activate your 6 Chinese coins in this area to activate your power and authority. Be careful with this sector this month. 

The monthly #6 of power and authority flies into the East of the rabbit. This is an excellent time for fortune and money gain.  Place 6 Chinese Coins or gold ingots and jewels in this area. Since metal is so strong in this area with the annual #7, be careful of all sharp metal objects this month aka-knives, scissors, car accidents, etc. Place a crystal or peacock feathers in your car.   Make sure your three-ki luns are in place with a bowl of blue detergent to work the energy of the unstable #7.  Be diligent don’t ignore this area and its influence this year.

The #7 of instability flies into the Southeast affecting the dragon, snake, and SE facing home. Place water, water, water, in this area to break down the metal. Also place a bowl of blue dawn detergent in this area as well. The dragon and snake may feel some jumping through the hoops this month. Be patient. All will come in good time. The #8 of wealth is still in your corner.  Place water to uplift!! Use citrine. Place items you wish to enhance monetarily in this area.

Everyone, have a wonderful month and work toward goals of what you want and release all ties of bondage.  Expect a month of victory and celebrations. If it is not happening for you readjust some thought patterns and focus on what you have and don’t worry about what you don’t have yet!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feng Shui Aspects for July

Feng Shui aspects for July—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.

 

Remember: This is a #2 year of the mind and the visionary and this is a year we are all connected to heaven’s energy. Use it wisely to manifest that which you want and let go of all you don’t want. With Uranus in retrograde it is a great time to LET GO of all of that, which confines you. That is possibly why unemployment is so high.  Some companies has taken advantage of their employees for years and not lived a good karmic path. These companies, in keeping with karmic law, are losing money and must release their employees from their bondage, as well.  Right now, it may feel or look like a bad thing, but in the long run it gives these employees a new beginning to create anything they want. The changes occurring in the world are necessary for people to take back their power from employers, government, church, spouse, whatever. The strong-arm patriarchal society, as we know it, is giving way to a gentler spiritual maternal energy.

 

I am seeing men emerging as gentler spirits. I have seen it in my husband. He has had to put his demanding schedule and personality aside and attend to the needs of his aging father.  He has had to calm his gruff, business-like exterior and allow a more compassionate, caring side to emerge. It has been a miracle to watch.  He and his father have developed a wonderful place in their life.  What a gift to both of them.  What a gift to me to watch this process.

 

With the #2 visionary-Heaven Energy and the retrograde factor of Uranus, we may see more deaths of those who have been ill or tired has awhile. This will give them the peace and courage to transition from this realm to the other. Do not be afraid of it.  We may also see more unexpected deaths, as well, as some spirits just chose to leave the transitional energy happening on earth right now.  We will also see more unexpected pregnancies as new spirits wish to come to earth to help the energy shift. We will also see multiple births, as we are seeing in multiple deaths. As a space vacates, it makes room for the new. This shift may stay until December. Remember: Expect the unexpected. If you have been ill, instant good health may be stored. It is up to you to create it.

 

This month creates a monthly pattern, which mirrors the yearly pattern of the flying stars.

We are halfway through the year. This is the time to shake things up in your home. Move things around, clean, wash your mirrors and windows for clear thinking and seeing. Renew all salt water cures and reset all adjustments.

 

Last month the #1 of water was in the middle of the ba-gua, which would have promoted the lots of rain we had in June. This month the #9 of fire is the middle so we can expect unusually hot this month.  Place water in the center of your home to offset the heat and slow down the energy.  This #9 in the center with the annual ba-gua will move energy fast. That is why the year seems to be flying by. The #9 is like a wildfire sweeping up all in its path and going for a ride.

 

The #1 of water and career flies to the NW of the Pig and Dog. Place water or symbols of water in this area for uplift for career energy. Place objects for career opportunities. If you are looking for a new career this is the month to put the wheels in motion.

 

The #2 of earth and illness goes into the W of Rooster. Illness is not only physical body but also mental outlook. Place your metal wu-lous or calabash in this area to help protect the physical body. You may place anything of metal such as a five-tier pagoda, wind chime, metal abacus, or metal Ki Luns/ Pi-yaos fu-dogs, or a metal fan to weaken the illness earth energy. You may also place peacock feather in your home to bring in the energy of the Goddess Kwan Yin. You may also place a White Tara or Laughing Buddha to bring not only a feeling of comfort and peace but laughter and love.

 

The #3 of wood and conflict moves to the NE. With a #3 of conflict already there, this could be an extremely confining and stressful month for the Tiger or Ox. Place a RED laughing Buddha or added red in this area to burn off some of the conflict. There may be emotional ups and downs with family and friend as new boundaries are being set. Set a Gold Kwan Yin or Buddha in the North East of your home to offset this aspect. For relationship problems, set them by the bed.  Have patience. It will pass. Place a golden prayer or Mandela of peace in this area for comfort. Use small metal in this area to chop the #3 Wood conflict. Use small fire or reds to activate the energy of the original Northeast #8 Earth.  The elephant listens with his ear to the ground, therefore, to promote better listening practices, to avoid misunderstandings, lay a green elephant figurine on his side on your work desk or place where conversations or teachings are held.

 

Those residing in the NE, Tiger, and Ox may feel the need to change jobs, relationship, etc. This conflict alignment may be the final straw for those to make this difference in there life. Be wise, calm, and informed if this should happen to you. However, with Uranus in retrograde, a sudden and unexpected decision to change these things may occur. Don’t panic, God closes a door but opens a window.  Place the crossed swords in the NE of the home to protect against lawsuit.

 

The #4 of wood and literary recognition is flying to the South. Place 4 bamboos in this area. Also place your literary works, fine art or photography or video works in this area for higher recognition.  This month, be careful of too much water in this area because of the lifted romance energy in a peach blossom. It may cause a wondering eye or third party interference.

 

The #5 flies into North creating a double #5.  PLACE A FRESH-- SALT WATER CURE!!!!  If your front door faces the North, place a salt line at the front door. You may also place a 6-rod wind chime.

 

The #6 of power and authority flies into the SW of woman energy. This is an excellent time for fortune and money gain.  Place 6 Chinese Coins or gold ingots and jewels in this area. Since metal is so strong in this area be careful of all sharp metal objects this month aka-knives, scissors, car accidents, etc. Place a crystal or peacock feathers in your car.

 

 

The #7 of creativity flies into the East. The east and Rabbit becomes extremely stressful because of the double #7’s and the three killings. Place water, water, water, in this area to break down the metal. Also make sure your three ki luns are appropriately placed. Also place a bowl of blue dawn detergent in this area as well. If your front door faces the east, place a water fountain outside your front door.

 

The #8 of money flies into the Abundance center of the SE. Extremely good for money. Place water to uplift!! Use citrine. Place items you wish to enhance monetarily in this area.

 

Have a wonderful month and work toward goals of what you want and release all ties of bondage. 

Auras, Uranus Retrograde and the death of the celebrities

Hey there everyone.

The world seems to have some crazy energy going on with the deaths of high profile people, mostly men, (David Carradine, Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon, Billy Mays, Karl Malden, and Farah Fawcett) in conjunction with the summer solstice. There are several aspects going on right now that are occurring which may have caused some of this energy.

Since the end of May, I have been feeling electrical energy in the air. I have actually been shocked twice by it. The first occurred when I was standing in my kitchen with my hands under the faucet and lightening come in the kitchen window and sent electricity from my hand up my arm to the bicep. Needless to say, I was freaked. The second occurred when I was walking in from my father-n-laws RV to my RV, in Montana. Lightening started and I felt my hair get static and a rush of shock vibration went through my body. I again was freaked.

I am taking it as a sign from God, to stay out of the rain and away from windows. As I am typing this, there is an enormous lightening storm going on outside. It is like something out of an old Boris Karloff movie. I am sensitive to the energy on a normal day but I have never in my life felt this much static and vibration in the air from it.

As I research what may be going on with this energy I found out that Uranus, the planet of rebellion, goes retrograde on July 1st thru December 1st. Uranus rebels against the shackles of conventional thinking and asks that you change whatever it is that is holding you back in life or has become stagnant. Interestingly enough, Uranus rules electromagnetic energy and acts like a lightning storm creating chaos as it clears your life of the old and makes way for the new. You are forced to change. Uranus shifting directions could be the reason for the extra electric energy in the air.

This Uranus retrograde cycle may set a pattern in motion to expect the unexpected. If you are shy, you may find yourself being more assertive. If you are somewhat bold, you may find yourself looking for solace. It is much like a tomb opening in Four pillar feng shui, what you are doing that you are not suppose to be doing, you may lose; (job, relationship, dirty money) and what you don't have, you may get. (Relationship, money, job) It is unpredictable and fast. Since Uranus is the planet of rebellion, we may see more rebellion against conventional ways, worldwide. More rebellion against government and religious control. On a personal level, we may see people quitting or getting fired from their jobs, which will allow them to find new opportunities in more appropriate fields. We may see people leaving relationships to find those, which are more peaceful. Confinement can no longer be contained and freedom will emerge. This may even include being freed from a sickly earthly body as well. This could be part of the reason death has occurred for the celebrities who were ill or just ready to leave their earthly bodies.

It almost feels as though this aspect has opened a portal in the heavens and group departure is happening. Electrical energy is considered ether or heaven in Feng Shui. Be careful of all electrical energy this next little while. I think we may see more incidences with electiric energy and lightening shocks.

From a spiritual standpoint, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and David Carradine were all very highly evolved spiritual people. I know little about the other three.

Michael was an old spirit in a young boy and vibrated at a higher level than most light workers do. He truly did not understand the darkness that existed here on earth because he could not resonate with it. That is why he kept repeating the cycle that looked like child molestation. He didn’t understand the consequences of his actions. I do not believe he was a pedophile. His four-pillar chart shows no abundance of metal or water energy, which is usually present when there is excessive sexual activity. In fact his metal, which is sexual desire, is overcome by earth. My thoughts would be he didn't have a lot of sexual desire.

I think he was a naïve child in a man’s body that he did believe he was giving those children a childhood he never had. I don’t think he had an evil bone in his body. I think the parents exploited him for money and he paid them off because he didn’t want the stress of the battle. He didn’t understand how it made him look guilty. I think at one time he was a very intelligent young man but as he aged and the stresses got to him, he lived his life in an alternate state of mind. As a highly evolved person, his physical body could not withstand the toxins and elements of the earth plane and looked for escape in drugs. That is why he wore the masks and his body as it aged become physically frail. They said his extremities were actually starting to atrophy. His body could no longer handle the earth gravity and poisons, so when the portal opened he chose to exit.

Farrah was also a frail “angel.” She was gentle and soft spoken. She believed to the end, that her mind could heal her body and didn’t understand why it didn’t. She also understood what her message to the world would be. When she and Michael vacated this earth they left a huge emptiness that people could instantly feel. Both were very evolved spirits here to leave a message. I am in Montana and need to research the Feng Shui energy of the day they died when I get home. Needless to say, it is driving me crazy until I can do so.

David Carradine as well was very spiritual. He studied the martial arts and was heavily involved in Chinese medicine and studies. His four pillar charts shows 3 water rats, which says he was very promiscuous and desired sex, sex, sex. That much water and rat energy is indicative of drug and alcohol abuse as well. His form of death doesn’t surprise me.

Someone who is more evolved or lives in a spiritual realm of the mind will search for things to physical ground them the root chakra to the earth. They may be drawn to physical exercise, dancing, sex, drugs, food, alcohol, etc. Anything that makes the body energy feels heavier and grounded. When this disconnected-floating feeling happens to me, I pack crystals and stones to hold me to the ground. That is why I wear lots of rings and bracelet jewelry so I can HANG on.

Just because someone is more spiritually evolved doesn’t mean they are perfect. I have discovered in my journey through this field and life, that the more spiritually evolved one is, the harder the lessons or difficulties on the earth are. The lessons are what make one more wise and more connected to the source of spirit or God. When these lessons occur the spiritual may feel abandoned by God. Farrah felt abandoned, but in the end realized she was there to spread a message of Cancer, life and death. It was how she handled it that mattered. Mother Teresa felt God had abandoned her and her people of India. Then she realized that God had sent her to the people to help them. That she was God’s tool.

David, Michael, Farrah, Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, and many more of people left a huge mark on the physical earth and a huge hole the world when they departed. Their departure was felt as big as their presence was.

As you think of those still alive who have a big presence think of what they are contributing to our life and the world. President Obama has a huge presence, as does Angelina Jolie. A Down syndrome child with his never-ending smile has a huge impact on your day.

We all see and feel auras everyday. When someone walks in a room, you can sense their presence, whether it is happy, sad, depressed, angry, etc. The more highly evolved carry a large aura that people notice. It may be on the face of a tiny baby, an elderly person, a movie star, or just someone on the street who captures your stare. Some may even see the colors around that aura. It is easy, Start paying attention and notice who seems to be an old spirit in a young body or a young spirit in an old body. I have even noticed some of the highly evolved old spirits never seem to age. Time seems to stand still for them. Michael and Farah were examples of that. Life is a mystery to be explored but never solved. Start exploring and unfolding it in your own life. Especially now that Uranus is cutting your ties of bondage for the next 5 months!!!

Four Pillar Sector:

For those who understand the 4 pillars, here is the pattern. Michael was 50, Farrah was 62 and David was 72. Their birthdays are all 11 years apart. Michael’s birthday is 8/29/1958 and Billie Mays birthday was July 20, 1958. Farrah was 2/2/1947, and David was 12/8/ 1936. Do the math the year 36+11=47 + 11=58. Ed McMahon birthday didn’t follow the pattern. His birthday was 1923. My charts do not go back to Karl Malden’s birthday, which is 3/22/1911.

I am having a class in September on the four pillars for those who wish to discover their own destiny. We will go over these celebrities and their charts in more detail to find their tombs, clashes, and breakdowns.

May Feng Shui Aspects

May has arrived upon us very quickly this year. The 9 in the center of the ba-gua for the year yields very quick moving energy. Think of it as--a fire on top of the earth, with the wind blowing.  The fire gathers speed and nothing can stop it expect water. If you feel as though life is moving too quickly, place water in the very center of your home.

This month bring the illness #2 to the center of the ba-gua. This will cause the world to face a crisis involving illness, thus the  enhanced flu hysteria.  This month could have various outbreaks of strange illnesses not linked to anything concrete. It is the springtime of seasonal allergies.  This month we could see allergies and auto-immune afflictions affecting many.  Eat right and get your rest.

Use water and metal in the center of the home to break up the illness  #2 pattern of energy.   A metal wind chime, metal pagoda, or a metal water fountain will cause the #2 star to struggle. Be aware you can move these adjustments from month to month to different sectors of the home.

Because of the annual fire energy of #9 in the center of the ba-gua, I have had difficulty sleeping.  When the body is very sensitive this fire energy and full moon energy, it is felt quite extensively. Don’t think you are going crazy, it will pass. It is just the universal energy. Get in water. Take baths.  Swim.  Eat water foods. Exercising will help to release some of the pent up energy.

I have been doing water exercises regularly, which helps the body to relax excessive fire energy.  I finally resorted to taking melatonin on the really active nights with the full moon. The melatonin is available in any health food and helps the body naturally produce what it needs to sleep.

The #3 this month flies to the NW of the Benefactor’s sector and the boar and dog. Everyone this month, but especially dog and boar people, may see some conflict in what they are feeling and doing in their lives. The #3 in the spiritual center may cause some to question their belief systems. This is a good thing. If you are on the wrong path, this is the month to put it right. The #3 of conflict gives you the courage to speak up.  However be careful of lawsuits and arguments caused by greed. Remember karma and live in the truth.

Use quiet metal in this space to calm the #3 wood. Place a metal or Golden Buddha. You may also place the crossed coin swords to symbolize the protection of the samurai. Use lights in this area to light up the situation at hand and keep the mind clear.

The West and the Rooster finds relief this month with the lucky #4. Use crystal points or raw crystals for writing success in this area this month. Children may use this area to improve learning capacities this month.

The nasty #5 flies into the North East this month affecting the Ox and Tiger. Use salt water, salt water, salt water. If you home faces Northeast place a salt line at your front door. The #5 paired with the #3 can bring about changes in your career, relationship, and health, if left too active. Quiet this area and place the salt water cure or the metal pagoda. Place a laughing Buddha in this space for good fortune and happiness. Be kind, watch your manners, think clearly and try to not make any defining decisions this month.  Next month the #4 of success will fly in.

#6 of power and authority flies to the South and the horse.  Place 6 Chinese coins in the South.  If your front door faces the South, place them under your front door mat.

Place also yin water in this area to balance energy of the South of fire and the metal of the six. Yin water is a bowl of still water or a bamboo or flowers in water.

#7 flies into the North. Place salt water, salt water, salt water here as well. Use clear still water too. The North is very agitated this month so keep it as still as possible.

Turn off the fountains, but make sure they are still full of water. Next month the #6 flies in for relief so lay low. Use another door if your home faces the North.

#8 of money flies to the Southwest.  Place water and yellow citrine here.

#9 of expansion flies into the East, activating the already negative #7. Use water, water, water, water, here. Be careful of fire in this area.  Place crossing swords or a Kuan Kung at your front door if it faces the East. Make sure your three ki luns are in place for the San Sha yearly afflictions. Places plants here to buffer the energy as well. If your home faces the East, try to use a different door for entry. Place a salt line at the front door as well.

#1 of career flies to the Southeast, which is especially auspicious for business and career when coupled with the yearly #8. Use the South East to advance business aspirations. Display money and a Golden laughing Buddha to bring in good balance. Use water to uplift as well.

This month could have some element interactions, which require attention serious attention.  If you feel overwhelmed, use water to relax.

Remember to declutter and downsize.  Simplify your life. Simplify your checkbook as well. Get rid of all bills and things in your life that no longer serve you. Maybe a land phone line, an extra checking account fee, or credit card fee. Consolidate and get back to the basics of what is important in your life.  Have a yard sale. Work a part time job or volunteer to get your foot in the door if you need an added income for a little while. Everyone has hidden talents that they can make money from.

The alchemy of thoughts and ideas is where money is made. If you are a photographer, hire out your services or sell your pictures. If you are exceptionally good at something, hire out as a tutor or hold a class.  Hire out cooking skills, bookkeeping skills, housecleaning skills, yard work, etc. 

Don’t make excuses or blame, take responsibility and empower your life. Your pearl of wisdom is inside your mind waiting for the chance to blossom.

Have a wonderful month. Mary.

 

Feng Shui Aspects for March

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.

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.
