March 2016 - Flying Stars Forecast - bitesized

March - Equinox Month  ~ a time to shore up plans for this year and make appointments, goals and schedule your next steps for success.

Dark moon is on the 9th and a great time to ponder your inner thoughts, feelings and pathways.
Full Moon is on the 23rd, just after Equinox; after the 9th the energy builds.

After two solid months of intense energy layers, it's breather time people! but also, it is a GREAT month to practice the ancient art of keeping to yourself...

A little snippet from the AIG 2016

Three sectors of the compass are affected by conflict energy combinations of one kind or another and this will permeate the general vibe of the whole month. If you have a bedroom, front door or office in the West, NW or North, then this is the month to keep things very perfect, very quiet and very tidy.
IF, you notice situations getting out of hand or over the top, try a few of the remedies below:

West ~ Add Fire to dismantle the potential for rivalry and conflict. Pale Fire with ‘beautiful’ kind is best. Flowers in Fire colours. Tealight candles in red or pink glass holders. A large vase of silk or satin cherry blossoms. Large Rose Quartz specimen.

NW ~ Add Metal Remedy to the NW to dismantle the problematic potential of the Monthly Star 2 with the Annual Star 3. Called ‘fighting bull sha’ or aggressive low level qi, this can disrupt harmony in all aspects of life.

North ~ Add Water in shape and colour only in large amounts or made the primary focal point, to dismantle the potentially destructive combination of Star 7 and Star 6. Called ‘clashing swords’.

Plenty of articles to download immediately too if you find yourself needing a bit of insight into just what FSFS 'is'.

Blessings for a quiet and peaceful month.

5 things you need to know for 2015 Year of the Earth Goat and the Ambitious Wood Star 3

So what are your plans for the year ahead? Are you dreading the grind of yet another year of obligations to be met and tasks to be completed, or are you enthusiastically getting organised to master a particular aspect of Life?

Whatever your outlook is it will be benefited by a structure to the way you approach each and every month and the spaces that support you each day.

A detailed diagram of the potential energy flow to and from a built structure. Manual 1 - 'Holistic Feng Shui & Energy Layers', Holistic Therapy Connections. You can apply the same techniques and observations to a room or workspace as you would a building.

Holistic Feng Shui uses the oldest concept of feng shui from the authentic study of Flying Stars (Xuan Kong) taken from the 'I Ching' The Book of Changes, alongside complimentary therapies that can be implemented into everyday life, no matter how much or how little you know of feng shui to begin with.  You won't find a lot of trinkets or tassels in Flying Stars Feng Shui, instead you'll be asked to get creative using Form, Colour and Sound to manifest living and working spaces that nourish and support you.

This coming year is sure to be full of ambition and high energy (Wood Star 3), and along with it the contrasting energy of wanting to secure oneself in a life that feels comfortable (Earth Goat). The two frequencies can reside happily beside each other, but normally this pairing can be unbalancing, sort of like a 'push-me-pull-you' sort of situation, where one feels like they are getting stretched in two directions.

Here are five tips from Holistic Feng Shui with Flying Stars to help you navigate the energy layers of the Annual Influences for 2015...

1. Begin the year with a clear idea of what you wish to achieve. If it's personal or business, getting it written down and then making sense of it with a step by step list or table can help you feel in charge of your destiny.  A Vision Board or Dream Gallery is a great idea for inspiration and to keep 'that feeling' on track during the year, but you can also put the more mundane needs in visual format to make quick and easy sense of the path you're taking.

2.  Remove the unnecessary.  Define the purpose of each space and take things that do not belong there into a holding space until you can reorganise your possessions. (of course if you are space strapped then clever options for clearing things into defined areas of one space is great for close spaced living or working)

3.  Know what's on the horizon with careful planning for the best possible energy to support your endeavours. This year you'll want to know which direction to face for the most favourable energy flow and which one to avoid facing to remove potential problems.

4.  Clear up the entrances to your building both inside and out. The area directly at the entrance to your building and directly inside your building is called the Ming Tang. It is symbolic of your invitation to the Universe to bring you 'all good things'. What's your Ming Tang inviting into your building? A Space Clearing Ceremony can make an enormous difference to the way we perceive the support coming from our living or working environment. Old, stale and low level Qi can deplete us just by being in the same layer of energy as it is. Clean. Cleanse and Re-set for maximum High Quality Qi Flow!
(This year concentrate on the WEST and SE to remove potentials for problems. Keep both areas clean and quiet if possible. For Wealth opportunities, love up the NORTH and SW as these Annual Influences will have the potential to manifest abundance in your chosen form of Wealth)

5.  Be realistic with your goal setting. Aim for the sky for sure, I'm all for ambition given a direct path, but care needs to be taken to remain securely anchored in reality. Consider budgeting and seeking the help of an experienced mentor whether you are searching for success in your personal and/or business life.
(This year there is a potential for arguments and arrogance to get in the way of success and peacefullness.)

Blessings for a Peaceful & Prosperous 2015 filled with Purpose and Grace

'Feng Shui and other influences we can't see' - Link to podcast and some musings...

Hello and happy June! Nearly halfway through the year and the winds of Winter curl around my ankles, chilling the back of my neck and reminding me that Solstice is nearly here. A time for reflection.

It was in February this year that I was invited to record an interview with Michelle House about the new Feng Shui Annual Influences and some other observations about the value of Feng Shui principles in everyday life. Time flies for sure because that only felt like it was last week!
Here is the link to the podcast for those of you who would like to listen...

What a transformative time 2015 is turning out to be. There is the opportunity this year to take hold of issues that have been circling and perhaps confronting or intimidating you. It's sort of like being baited for an argument which you may choose to engage in and learn from, or pass up and let it sail on by...you know, ah-la Captain Jack Sparrow like...  "I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by."

For me the question this year has been engaging in confrontation. I'm a non-combative person, very happy to be happy, so confrontation never comes naturally, however, I am learning that confrontation in itself need not be 'aggressive' at all, which is enlightening. Confrontation is the hallmark of Star 3 energy. It is pushy, aggressive, sometimes even damaging, yet I always look to both sides of the story. Why is Star 3 given this horrid reputation when in fact Star 3 is also the energy Influence of the East, and related to Health, Family and the igniting energy of nature? Surely this energy would be useful, helpful and positive too? Of course it is! :) It is all about Perception and the way we use it.

When presented with a confrontation person or issue I have been practising my skills of negotiation and also honing my response to intimidation. I feel it is a big personal growth leap for me to learn how to control fear and intimidating feelings so that I can protect myself from lowering my vibration, and succumbing to situations that spiral downwards and inwards negatively.

Peaceful repose brings effortless insight...

What I have been doing is using a technique that helps me to utilise my sense of empathy and to engage with someone intimidating as a 'real person' instead of being overwhelmed by their aggression and or confusion, and my confusion too... for it's often that confusion that translates as frustration and that can further inflame a hot tempered person. Our facial expressions send those signals, so I've been making myself more conscious of the messages my face sends to someone who is confronting me. What tends to happen is I might squint a bit, purse my lips or cock my head to one side. All very natural responses to being confused or confronted.
So instead I'm teaching myself to find a new response...
I relax, I breath, and then I literally 'open my face' to them and listen 'harder' ;). I ask myself quietly "What are they asking for? Can I give it to them? Can I help in this situation?"

And then I allow the event to unfold with expansive and compassionate energy. The more I listen and relax, the better the outcome, for both of us.

Emotions are like water; always in motion from one state to another. What we seek to do is not 'control' it, but rather encouraging its to flow in the most beneficial and positive direction.

Life is so quick nowadays, and it takes real consciousness to stop and hear people. We need to re-learn this skill on every level in our lives, from intimate moments with partners, to parenting behaviours with our children, interactions with co-workers and everyday occurrences with people.

Breathe. Stop. Relax and listen. Open dialogue with something like, "Ok, I hear that you are [angry/sad/upset/confused] about [situation/thing/need], and I can help by [doing/saying/being]. Is that right?" Getting the 'combatant' to be clear about their grievance or need is paramount to getting a situation resolved.

Happy Confrontations to you all and Blessings for peaceful resolutions.

5 Steps to Streamline your Life Experience

States of Being arrive because of the energy layers we construct and interact with on a daily basis.

When we put effort and energy towards our health it improves, and that has a knock on effect into our living spaces. We are creatures of comfort for sure, be we are also creatures that naturally 'do' streamlining, getting rid of excess stuff because we enjoy it when life flows more smoothly. Today, probably more than ever in our human history, we are asked to carry stress loads that far outweigh our weekly opportunities for relaxation. So what can we do on a daily basis to incorporate more 'relaxing' into our lifestyle, and therefore into our Life Experience? What will 'streamlining' achieve for you and what can you do to get started?

I've written up five logical steps for manifesting a life that is aligned with your desires and needs.

1. Relax your insides (or your outside...this step is interchangeable with step 2)

We all know that 'we are what we eat', and more so now we are aware of Hippocrates famous words "Let food by thy medicine". If good health would make life easier, then are we taking notice of what we consume to promote better health? Today's food and water is contaminated by conventional agriculture chemicals and municipal water processing, so we are under pressure to detoxify even if we 'think' we are getting clean food and water. A simple first step is to look in your pantry and fridge to identify foods with toxic ingredients ... by this I mean an abundance of preservatives, additives, colours, synthetic fragrances and flavours...that kind of thing. A good rule of thumb is, 'if you can't understand the label then what the heck are you doing eating the stuff in the packet!??'.

So, first step for cleaning up your dietary intake is - reduce packaged food consumption. If you sit down to a pre-packaged meal more than twice a week you need to think about quick and pleasing meals you can do 'from scratch'. And that includes bought restaurant dishes. You'd be amazed at the packaged goods most restaurants use as 'freshly prepared meals'.
Eat fresh'er' each day and see/feel/live the difference.

Reduce your stimulants intake...yep, sugar, caffiene etc...energy drinks are not real energy. You'll get more energy from a glass of 'Deep Green' because it goes directly to your bloodstream and will help ferry around oxygen ... making you feel more energetic and bright! Add apple juice, pear juice or some other freshly squeezed real juice to your day in place of a coffee or black tea. Maybe you can start out small with just replacing one stimulant drink for a clean water or juice? Sure you can...

Water. This is a big issue for me. I made a choice to drink spring water instead of tap water years ago while going through a healing crisis. Now I choose to drink filtered water and spring water too. Taking the step to detoxify through several years of just drinking spring water made a big difference in my health and well-being. Spring water levitates through layers of earth to bubble up at a spring...its magical stuff, and you can feel that quality in it after a while. And hey, who doesn't need a little more magic in their life?? A healthy water intake is a healing tool all in itself, helping your body to do natural detoxing without any 'gimmicks'.

Portion control is also key. Eat enough to feel nourished, not bloated or 'stuffed'. As we age we need less food, and certainly less heavy food like carbs, nuts, cheeses and meats. Eat lean and fresh, be lean and fresh ;)

"I love eating foods that are fresh and nourishing for my whole being"

2.  Relax your outside

Our living spaces directly affect our emotional and mental health, so for this reason it is beneficial to take a keen eye over your living space. What does it tell you if the 'landscape' of your home is a story? Overwhelm, immense calm, happy family, or trash heap? This is an important step, and maybe you'll need an honest friend to come on over and tell you exactly 'how it is'. We can be blinded by our familiarity with our living spaces, not seeing the grime or the mess or the clutter.
Remove things that don't belong in that particular space, eg: exercise bikes in bedrooms or lounges, a wall of toys in a loungeroom or home office, household storage in a bedroom or kitchen/dining...that sort of thing. Each space can be assigned a Purpose and Function, then all you need to do is figure out what doesn't align with that purpose or function and remove it. You will be shocked by how much 'stuff' you move out of a room once you get on target with this one.
The purpose of it is to give you a lot less 'visual noise'...also known as 'clutter'. Once you have organised what needs to leave your rooms and perhaps your home, you will find the whole house relaxes, and so will you. (mainly I find this exercise wonderful for knowing 'where things are')
There are certain spaces in every home that you can relax that won't take long, and will make an impact immediately.
- Bedside table
- Vanity bench (bathroom stand)
- 'The Kitchen Drawer' (every home has one of these... and its usually referred to as 'the junk drawer')
- Loungeroom bookcase or cabinet
- The Kitchen workbench (usually a place where far too many things are left out instead of being put away)
- Front door entrance area, inside and out. This is referred to as 'The Mouth of Chi' and is your invitation to the universe to bring you resonant energy into your home...so what message is your front door area giving?)

15 minutes a day is all each space might need. So can you carve out 15 minutes each day this week? Easy.
And of course...here's where you learn that natural cleaning solutions are better for you and your home...

"I love my home and it nourishes my spirit"

3.  Invite Wealth & Abundance

This step is important. You've made changes, you've done some work...so now it's time to really contemplate your future Life Experiences and what they will be. Where do you want to 'be' in a few weeks or months?  Keep a journal for a little while and use it each day or each week to identify what it is that you want to achieve. Some of us want great health or to overcome a health issue. Others might want to attract a special friend or just more friendships. Is it financial ease and abundance you desire/need? Perhaps success and prosperity with a new venture you want to undertake. Get thinking and get writing.
Find your Purpose and get crystal with your intentions for the future.
Planning is everything and this is your time to put your heart's desires down on paper (or canvas or a file or a cork pin board, etc.)
Writing up simple sentences like "I make time to spend with my good friends and family easily", "I find simple solutions to any perceived obstacles I have", "I am now feeling better than I have in years!" and then move on to writing up your plans to achieve these outcomes.

• If you need to spend more time with family then do up a weekly timetable to show yourself exactly where your time is being spent.
• If you need to get finances improved write up a budget and find out exactly where your money is being used.
• If you need to target a health outcome write up a weekly diet to follow that includes all of the things you'll need personally to achieve your goal.

"I now welcome Love, Happiness, Great Health and Peaceful Prosperity into my Life Experience"

4.  Action

So now the time comes to 'do'. This is where your preparation is going to come together with your plans. Magic is about to happen...so roll up your sleeves and smile!
I see that this is often a pre-empted step. Too many setbacks are due to lack of preparation...it is key to manifesting a desired outcome. If you were planning to overcome a health issue but hadn't changed your diet or lifestyle, then your manifestation will have trouble occurring. If you are launching a new business but have done no important financial and logistical planning, your venture is possibly doomed to fail.
You get it?
Action comes from purposeful plans aligned with your main intention.
Action is putting into place the knowledge you have to elicit your desired outcomes.
If you haven't figured out a 'do' list, NOW is the time to get to it done.

"My plans for the future are perfectly aligned with my true Life Purpose"

5.  Expressing Gratitude

As the energy for your new Life Experiences gathered while you were inviting and actioning, the manifestations will occur gradually. Let's face it, you probably took years to get into the lifestyle you were in, so it makes sense that sometimes getting a new lifestyle may be achieved over a longer period of time.

As each event occurs, you can be grateful for the changes, no matter how small. Express gratitude for the steps you've taken, the awareness you now have, the experiences you are having each day whether you can categorise them as 'good' or 'bad'...its all in the perspective. Have you heard of a 'healing crisis'? This is when one part of our Life Experience is in major transition...physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.  Some 'bad' experiences teach us so much in such a short space of time. It's hard to imagine why we need to have unhappy occurrences, but I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. So if I cry tears of sadness or grief I say a silent thankyou for the ability to feel so deeply and to have cared for something or someone as much as I did. I know it is a gift.

As beautiful synchronicity increases, you will be able to see-feel-know that your plans are manifesting into your reality NOW.  This can often be the boost you need, and do be aware of the 'ah-ha' moments increasing to the point that you become almost nonchalant about it ;) People you meet will seem uncannily 'familiar' to you, like you've known them before. These people are usually the ones you might need to spend time speaking with or learning from. Once you begin the alignment of your life to your true love or Life Purpose, the world works for you to achieve your desires. Keep on the look out, be aware, and offer thanks often.

"I am supremely grateful to be experiencing all levels of emotion and perfect connections"

I leave you with a blessing.
"I wish for you easy pathways to new beginnings. I wish for you silent moments of divine reflections. I wish for you happiness, health, prosperity and success in all you do.
Namaste Beautiful People"

March Forecast - Flying Stars Feng Shui

This month's Influences take charge around the 5th to the 7th...read up to know what's coming your way as April is going to be lit up for all kinds of reasons. I want you to be prepared THIS month to take charge of your spaces,...hence the return of the Monthly Forecast blogpost...I know...been a while.  That's what little boobie monsters do to Mumma's with ambitions of being prepared by sleep...it doesn't happen, the sleep that is, and then of course the ambitious work plans as well ;) 

For more tips and suggestions for clearing, cleansing, de-cluttering and organising, take a look at the free downloadable pdf of 'Key Qi Leaks and How To Fix Them' plus 'Preparation Inspiration' on the website at this link here.

March 20th to 22nd is the time of Equinox, which is when Earth is halfway on its orbit between Solstices, a turning point of seasons for all.  In the Northern Hemisphere it Spring Equinox, the time of Easter /  Ostara celebrations, and in the Southern Hemisphere it's Autumnal bliss...a cooling down, and Harvest celebrations. For me in the Tropics it is a time of extreme variations. I find the crunchy lawn fed by indescriminate downpours, and the gorgeously warm evenings correspond with increasingly chilly early mornings.

From the Annual Influences Guide 2014:

"Equinox is an opportunity to see how our plans are manifesting, and how much attention we are placing on the most important goals we set ourselves at the beginning of the year. What needs more energy from us? What have we lost track of? Get your path sorted... "

 

Alerts

East: Input heavy doses of Metal representation of Shape, Colour and Sound into this area. If it is a bedroom, input the Salt Water Cure and Golden Gourd/Calabash. Take notice of stomach upsets and eat pure!

NE: Beware the possibility of being hurt by speech, or hurting others by what you say. This combination is also associated with being bitten by animals, and oddly enough I’ve had it occur over and over again where I get stung by wasps in this sector during the Monthly combination of 7,1 or 1,7. Egadz! Input Water element representations in Shape and Colour to balance out any potential misfortune.

SE: Be doubly efficient with paperwork needed by any Authority figures this month. Add Water to the SE in Shape and Colour to balance the energy of the Star 6.

Summary
This energy layer in the Centre is typically known to induce some high level partying...we have ‘The Clever and Indecent Imp’ Annual Star 4 meeting up with the chatty and social ‘Pleasure & Destruction’ Star 7...a recipe for going over the edge in some way. To ensure they play nicey-nicey add some Water and Fire element in equal parts, and be aware that partying / spending / indulging will have the potential to go overboard if left unchecked.

The Monthly Wealth Star is in the NW of Progression and will ease up on the Annual Star 5’s changeable and often challenging influence. A month to take time to ask for assistance on your Journey with a capital J… Be on the lookout for invaluable information coming your way or a source of mentorship that floats in all transient and hippie-like. Take advantage of the wisdoms as they come in clearly and serenely this month because we won’t feel this at peace with our ‘way’ again until December. 

Vocation sector North is being fuelled again … Wood Star 3 is now boosting the Fire Star 9...still ‘on show’ and this time your competitive edge may just get a little out of control. Think ‘bushfire’ but in a contained space. It’s never going to work out well unless you can control it. Add in lots of quiet time, but also bring in representations of Compassion and Patience, even if that means a desk mounted and framed quote, or a big statement wall-hanging. Fire coloured hues will work very very very well...

Does the way you work, 'work'? Feng Shui for home or corporate offices.

How often have you had a day where, for some unforeseen reason, your method of work had to change, and, magically, things got done and inspirations were found?
I've been assessing the workspaces of myself, my children, and clients for some time now and decided to put together a little collage to present my findings so far...



You may want to download this pic to read it easily

A - Too fast! Rushing. High expectations. Stress.
B - Analysing. Contemplative. Steady. Organised.
C - A Beautiful Mess. Comfortable Chaos. Getting things ‘done’.
D - Simple, easy, efficient. Enjoyment of task. Enjoyment of achieving.
E - The Creative Space. Visual representation of goals. Easygoing schedules. Known objectives.
F -  Low tech. Mind first. Verbal communication. Insights formed from collaboration.

So first up, the spaces weren't always representational of just one element. Quite often I found a duo or trio of collected traits. And there are many styles of course, but here are a few that I repeatedly see and talk to people about. Take a look and see if you can identify the way you work. Then have a think about your success with that style.

 

• Do you maintain a steady achievement of goals?

• Does success eventuate from your endeavours?

• Are you particularly stuck in an 'obstacle treadmill' or do you find solutions easily?

• Do you feel exhausted or uplifted by your work/job/tasks?

Once you've established if your work style is suitable for you by assessing your level of success with it, you can then view this collage below with the suggestions for balancing, supporting or remedying those styles using Five Element (Wu Xing) theory.

A - Type A is emulating the energy of Water & Wood Influences. To bring balance & slow down this overwhelming energy bring Fire element into their work spaces, use Brain Spider diagrams (Fire element in shape) to slow down and visually represent their plans and goals.

B - Type B is harnessing Earth Influence and will be supported with Fire and Wood in their environment to bring a steady flow of energy towards their personal energy. Add a little Metal energy to encourage flexibility and to avoid ‘stagnation’.

C - Type C are involved with the Water Influence and respond well to having Metal element energy implemented in their works pace. Metal gives them clean lines and colours to define their irregular working ways and spaces, yet allows for ‘malleability’ and creative urges.

D - Type D is emulating the energy of Metal...decisive, lineal, on purpose. This is best for all kinds of commerce business, and will be reflected in diligence to task. To support Metal give Earth energy like grounding tools (Earthing mats or grounding crystals to wear. Black Tourmaline, Jet, Black Obsidian) And Water element to encourage some spontaneity.

E - Type E is a combination of Earth and Water influences...an irregular yet grounded view of ideas manifesting. The irregular representation of ’boxes of information’. ‘Harness this with the implementation of Metal & Wood elements to create a space filled with Purpose Growth & Progression.

F - Type F is Metal and Fire influences in malleable ideas and explosions of creativity. It is a combination that produces a plethora of plans that might get out of control. Add Earth to the environment via representations of Nature (Mountains, beautiful rocks, stone statues) to ground the energy and encourage the encapsulation of ideas. 
Each style will suit different people and different industries better than others. Some of us will never change the way we work because we are happy with the way we do things. For others who are continually struggling with difficulties, the use of Five Element theory can manifest beautiful change and new success strategies.

Blessings

Its fantastic and its free to download now

I've made the AIG 2013 Annual Influences Guide and Calender (www.HolisticTherapyConnections.com) a free download so you can check out just what you'd get for you money with the new 2014 AIG&C in the wings, about ready to be released.

Things will be slightly different this year...I'll be offering it as a pdf download only...you can print it out at leisure if you like, but with so many people now reading on tablet devices of one sort or another, it is a shame to waste so much paper when all one really 'uses' of the AIG is the Calender! ;)

I'll attach a 'donate' button to the Articles and Information page of the website and if you can pop something over in recognition for the work produced I'd really very much appreciate it. The AIG&C takes a good four to six months to collate and contains information on Elemental Balancing, Flying Stars Feng Shui and the like that you'd only find from theory notes from a course. Its a great way to familiarise yourself with terms and diagrams that are commonplace with many Flying Stars Feng Shui courses and texts.

The AIG&C is usually retailed at $50ea with the option of attending a gathering. I can't promise a gathering or speaking engagement this year...so many babies, and so much to attend to in the January & February of each year. Although, if I can, the purchasers of the AIG will be notified straight away! The good news!??? the good news is that the AIG will be MUCH more affordable this year because of its digital format :)

Blessings!

Clean Water Projects to better health for any population :) (part of my Build a Bonfire article collection)

I've often given time and energy towards charity groups ensuring the health and well-being of populations at risk of disease. One thing I did stop doing is giving support to charities that have large scale immunisation schedules for these at risk populations. While I agree that there is a case for immunisation, I want it to be far, far less risky than at present for me to actually be a part of giving this kind of medical support to at risk communities.
But what's the alternative? How can we be of service to the global community and be responsible advocates of good health choices if we put our time, effort and money towards agendas that can potentially be harmful to the people we are hoping to help?

I did a little research on this a while ago and found myself at the World Health Organisation website...take a look at what I found...

"Vaccination has greatly reduced the burden of infectious diseases. Only clean water, also considered to be a basic human right, performs better..." WHO

This article from the WHO is just mind-blowing in its implications that the vaccine risks are getting 'better press' than the vaccine benefits... honestly never read such a load of cleverly veiled confessions of inadequacy... ;}

If today, for some awful reason, you and I were pressured by cirucumstance to enter a refugee camp, undergo weeks of trauma, nutrional deprivation, clean water deprivation and subsquent illness...would the first thing you want from a medical assitance operative be a shot in the arm full of potentially toxic chemical and biological soup? or perhaps you'd prefer them to spend some money on security, nutrition, sanitation and a clean water source...? Yeah ;[ ...and this is a very obscure ending to any 'argument' piece...

"We conclude that a comprehensive vaccination programme is a cornerstone of good public health and will reduce inequities and poverty."

(http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/86/2/07-040089/en)

Good clean water and food, plus effective and maintained sanitation systems, including good public health opportunities, is the way to good public health, and will have nothing to do with percieved social inequities including poverty. Its not just communities affected by war, political upheaval, drought, floods, or some other traumatic event, sometimes its just a community that has for some reason gradually lost their water supply due to intensive agriculture, or global climate change over the last three to five decades. Sometimes communities can be re-invigorated by spending less time and effort in the collection of water for daily survival. 'Charity:Water' are one organisation dedicated to this particular outline of service.

"Diseases from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. Children are especially vulnerable, as their bodies aren't strong enough to fight diarrhea, dysentery and other illnesses.

90% of the 30,000 deaths that occur every week from unsafe water and unhygienic living conditions are in children under five years old. The WHO reports that over 3.6% of the global disease burden can be prevented simply by improving water supply, sanitation, and hygiene."

I don't get anything from supporting them except the satisfaction that my monetary assistance is being put to great use for a simple commodity that I take for granted in my country. Its also a commodity that ensures that with good nutrition I can help to keep my family disease free and living a life full of infinite potential.



At my home I've changed the way I use water. Since the introduction of flouridated water in my municipal supply I changed to drinking and cooking using pure spring water.  Then I've been able to find a flouride filter and can now enjoy the tap water without a load of chemicals in it, plus the filter also gets out other nasties that communities at risk deal with all the time. It again makes me grateful for the place I live in ;) I have access to help and products that other women looking after their babies do not have. And I think this is where I feel the need to assist. Feeling empathy for that mother somewhere in the world who is just simply wanting to care for her family, and she has this overwhelming challenge to overcome,...yet I can walk down my hallway and turn a tap on in my kitchen. It hits me in the heart for these families, and it takes so little to be a part of the solution! :)

Be aware that the environment of your biology, both internal and external, plays a part in the overall Harmony your life can emit and receive <3 Blessings!

What your Birth Number or Ming Gua, can tell you about yourself

I've recently been doing more study into Numerology, and finding the correllations between the Nine Stars and their associations quite amazing. I have read that Numerology is based on the Lo Shu Grid, and as this information was given to humanity over 5000 years ago, it is definitely plausible that the two trains of study, Feng Shui and Numerology have their foundations in the one message.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Feng Shui side of things first, I've just uploaded a section of Module 2 of the three manual 'learn at home' set of e-books that I offer through Holistic Therapy Connections for you to have a look at. Enjoy! :)

Birth Numbers and Essential Energy
The year we were born in carries with it an ‘essential energy’. When using Flying Stars Feng Shui we use this information to assist us in placing people in the best areas of a building for sleep and work. Each building has its own energy map based on its orientation and the year it was built. This map of a home can give us information about how to best support the occupants who live here.
The following pages contain interpretations of each Birth Number’s associations, attributes, strengths and weaknesses. There is a positive and negative side to every ‘number’, so it may be that a person shows either a more dominant ‘positive trait’ or ‘negative trait’ disposition in their health and personality. Suggestions for smoothing energy and assisting optimal health are provided.

A diagram of Bodily Associations of the Nine Stars to assist you further with interpretation of personal energy influences is given at the back of these descriptions on page 32 which is included in the downloadable file on the link below.

You will have to find out what your Ming Gua 'is'. Follow the simple formula below to figure that out...
Females: Add the last two digits of your birthyear together and reduce to a single number
16.5.1965
6+5=11=2
Then add this to the number 5
2+5=7
This female person is Ming Gua 7 (or has the Birth Number 7) for Feng Shui purposes.

Males: Add the last two digits of your birthyear together and reduce to a single number (if neccessary)
17.12.1971
7+1=8
Then subtract this number from 10
10-8=2
This male person is Ming Gua 2 (or has the Birth Number 2) for Feng Shui purposes.

When a birthday falls near the changeover of the Solar Cycle, around February 4th the 'Feng Shui New Year' (which is different to the Lunar Cycle Chinese New Year) we have to consult a Chinese calendar to find out when the Solar Cycle began in that year. A common internet 'tool' is a calender converter. This one here is helpful if you need it.
(You will be able to find out which year it falls in by looking at the Zodiac Animal and then calculating the year for that animal)

For example:
A female, born on the 26.1.1973 is born in 1973, but in the 1972 Solar Cycle....so we have to use 7+2 as her birthyear digits. She is therefore a Ming Gua 5, which is also 'tricky' because there Star 5 is not used as a Ming Gua...so you'll need to know that for Females, a resulting Star 5 Ming Gua calculation is moved to a Star 8, and for Males, it is moved to a Star 2. Got that? ;) Of course you do...its easy.

To view the complete listing of Ming Gua from 1 to 9 go to this link and download the pdf (or read online).

The Centre - Open to Pure Potential

This is a short out-take from the *Module 1 Manual 'Holistic Feng Shui and Energy Layers, which talks about Star 5 and has a different view based on the interpretation of the Trigram. Hope you enjoy the read, and it may help those who are studying Flying Stars and finding the 'hoodoo' surrounding Star 5 a little 'heavy' in frequency...

"Years ago, after just completing my Flying Stars training, I was taken aback by a woman asking me if I thought Feng Shui was really ‘meddling with destiny’ and in some way altering Fate. She stated she thought that any kind of interference in manipulating your Life was ‘un-natural’. We ended up speaking about divine potentials, and the chance happenings of synchronistic occurrences in Life, which one cannot foresee, only enjoy. I am glad to say we parted with smiles and a new appreciation for each other’s point of view. Mine, that I like to exert a form of control and need organisation in my Life, and she; a comfortable waif ‘o’ the wind, allowing change to come on through whenever it presented. That amount of freedom is of course enviable...however I know I just can’t live that way. Over the years I’ve become more relaxed in my approach to ‘organisation’, and I think this woman came into my life to challenge any kind of ‘rigidity’ that was forming because of the new concepts I had been exposed to. I’ve often thought of her when I’ve ‘detached’, ‘unhooked’ and found a day or a moment perhaps to just sit and Be and soak up the sequences of Time and motion.

In the school of Flying Stars Feng Shui, we have a designated energy influence for each of the Cardinal directions of the Compass. However 'The Centre' has no Trigram, it is the infinite potential available to everyone. Make it what you will. Some Bagua Feng Shui give it the energy of Stability or Groundedness. The correspondence to Stability is because our sense of purpose in life; the stuff that makes up our Spirit; the Divine Chi of our very making, is what is ‘in’ this utter Potential.

For this reason it is responsible for a lot of our Health issues. If we are connected to the Earth element and physically to the Earth via walking upon it, working with it, consuming food fresh from it; we manifest ‘good health’ physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It is our sustenance. There is a simple reason why we haven’t found humans anywhere nearby in our galaxy…its because humans need Earth. Our vibrational make-up, our molecular vibration needs the frequency of Earth’s vibration for optimum health.

Further on in the study of Flying Stars Feng Shui it is noted that Earth Energy rises from the centre of a built structure and flows through the building from this point, meeting up with the Heaven Energy flowing in from the other openings; Yang frequency; galactic energy. The centre is a point of nourishment and an anchor to our planetary energy source; Yin frequency. When Yin and Yang meet (Earth and Heaven / Female and Male) a new energy is born/created/manifested. This is the individual energy that is ‘mapped’ using Flying Stars charts."

2013 has Star 5 as the Ruling Annual Star located in the Centre of all buildings. It will potentially 'double up' the influence of Change. I'll be doing a bit more writing about this in the near future :)

Love and Blessings

Treasured Possessions

Feng Shui theory can sometimes seem like it is asking us to become quite clinical in our homes, almost to be minimalist, but in practise this is not the case. Clutter is not the things we love and use and treasure, but the stuff that is unloved, unused and neglected. 

Looking around your space now, what can you see that is loved and treasured? Even to the point of the room that you are in...is it a treasured space? Is it well looked after both vibrationally and practically? Vibrational maintenance is so important because its these unseen energy layers that we interact with so intimately. They pervade our subconscious and influence our moods and emotions in a subtle yet powerful way. Think about picking up a favourite item that you own. Might be that perfectly warm jumper or the most perfectly fitting dress you have. Might be a statue that you saved for or found by perfect synchronicity (when you thought about it it then appeared for you to own). What does it feel like to pick that item up and adore it? :) nice hey?

This kind of vibration can also be felt for a space. The way the sunlight allows you to warm up in a precisely positioned chair, or how the shade covers a valued workspace so that you can enjoy a view and be comfortable in your tasks. This kind of feeling is where Feng Shui studies wants to take you more and more. In the diagram below (taken from Manual 1 'Holistic Feng Shui and Energy Layers, Page 6) the energy exchanges between a building and its environment are many, and you can use each one to gain more harmony by lifting the vibration of each connection.

feel free to download this image and print it out for your own study

Our possessions tell us a lot about ourselves. If we have many possessions that aren't treasured, we may well be the kind of person who is scattered from one fancy to the next, perhaps a person who follows 'fads' or has many unfinished hobbies. Someone who has uncluttered spaces with defined treasures will probably reap the benefits by having an uncluttered Mind, and be able to stay on task to achieve many successes in Life.

Feng Shui is about creating harmonious flow in the vibrational energy of your spaces, your life and your body too. When you give time to this kind of endeavour you will soon begin to see how maintaining the vibrational energy manifests in a practical way in your life for more health, wealth and happiness.

Blessings for nourishing spaces

PS: this is one of my treasured possessions... :)
A lovely big Buddha statue. Fittingly situated with a soft velvety runner beneath it. I love gazing at this and appreciating the vibrational energy it instills in my home.

Flying Stars Feng Shui Forecast for September

'Verbal Expression' is the Energy Signature of the 7,1 combination which manifests in the Centre this month, and it can also have several other manifestations....
Star 7 associations of Mouth, Teeth, Thorax, Chest, Pleasure, Destruction, Joy, Speech, and Star 1's associations of Ears, Blood, Kidneys, Gonads, Danger, Wisdom, Ideas and Expression, has the potential to lead to some Very Interesting energy combinations!
In the positive state (with high vibrational energy in place and maintained spaces of Love) 7,1 produces an energy that can bring excellent communications, wonderful quotable insights within conversations and 'everyday wisdoms' born of mundane activities. It manifests as a joyfulness in life that feels like a pleasant energy layer descending upon or enveloping all that we do.
In a negative state (unloved places, ugly situations) 7,1 can mean sexual harrasment, perverted thought patterns, biting speech, hurtful communications, health issues with teeth/mouth/gums, tonsilitis, bronchitis, indigestion, etc.

I'd prefer to go for the positive state anytime, so the Centre of my house is getting a really good clean up and tidy out this month! I'm going to love it up with some gorgeous incense and a thorough cleaning :)

Here we go for the sectors 'round-up': (I've also just completed a new 'page' on the blogsite to explain why and how the Forecast is used)

NW: Star 8 is visited by Star 2 which is always a great thing for anything 'property' related. Star 2 is associated with the Earth, hence the property link, and Star 8 is also Earth, but more so Wealth and Happiness. Could mean an acquisition of property or an improvement in your current abode. 'Receptivity' is also a key part of Star 2 which will show its best side in company with Star 8. "I am open and Ready to Receive Beautiful acquisitions" could be the mantra of the month...
Tip: BOOST with beautiful Fire and Earth representations. Gorgeously inspirational posters of beautiful places you enjoy looking at, or a bowl of gemstones on the table to run your finger through...

SW: 4,7 is a potentially 'naughty' combination given the Passion and Pleasure associations ;) In its lowest form it can result in sexual harrassment, but in its best expression it can mean a joyful connection to one's true passions and loves. 
Tip: ENHANCE with Pale Fire representations like a large specimen of Rose Quartz.

West: 9,3 can mean excellent inspiration for the Creation sector. Star 9 is Beauty and Clarity (the Fire Agent) which will be naturally fed this month by the Wood Agent of the 3 Star.
Tip: Meditate here upon any need for creative input into any situation. BOOST with representations of Fire and Wood elements.

East: 5,8 means that the usual 5 Star 'dramas' should abate. Health and Family situations have the ability to resolve and repair this month if they have been an issue throughout the year so far.
Tip: Please keep in place, or put in place, The Sound of Metal which is the most potent distracting method for Star 5.

NE: 1,4 in the Contemplation sector can lead to really excellent meditations! 1 is Wisdom and 4 is Passions...yeah :), it can get very insightful!
Tip: BOOST with Metal and Water representations. Metallic blue wavy objects, or make your own artwork for the month to hang on the wall.

SE: The Growth and Wealth sector is visited by the Vivacious Star 9, however its not always welcomed by the Authority Star 6. This combination can lead to excessive or flippant spending of Time and Money. Be alert to this and put the credit card away.
Tip: BALANCE with a combination of Earth, Water and Wood representations. See the helpful diagram on the 'How to use the Forecast' page for ideas about Shapes and Colours.

South: Uggh! the Perception sector has that uck combination of 5,2. Don't muck about. Keep it quiet, and clean and tidy etc... This has the potential to make you have the syndrome 'making mountains out of molehills'. If it all seems like its falling down around you take some time away from your home and see if they change in space can help you change the perceptions that have formed.
Tip: The Sound of Metal in double or triple dosages! A wind chime, play the piano music inside the house regularly, and also put som bells on the doorknobs. Remove anything that could be a Fire representation if you can, if not, SUBDUE heavily with physical Metal representations.

North: The Vocation sector is influenced by another contentious potential...the 6,3 combo. Its Authority and Ambition which only works well if they can form a harmonious union. Flashpoints occur with the Authority energy attacking the Ambitious urges. Subordinates will feel oppressed while Superiors may fall into 'power trip' mentality. Be alert to these low level manifestations and change tack if possible before anyone gets injured...
Tip: SUDUE the whole combination by placing Pale Fire and Water representations. Also utilise high vibrational energy affirmations and printed quotes that encourage Harmony, Unity, Integrity and Beautiful Peace.

Apologies for this forecast being a little late. The Feng Shui month began on the 8th of September, so we are only a few days shy of it all :)


Wishing you all a beautiful, peaceful and healthy September.
Blessings

I wanna build a bonfire...

...a HUGE one, built out of all the things I want to ignite in my life.

Usually bonfires are associated with the ritual of burning off 'stuff' we no longer need, and the symbolic meaning of returning unhappy events' energy back to the ethers for recycling into good mojo for the next turn of Time, but it doesn't have to be this always. Gypsy people have a saying, 'make fire your friend', because fire, the ignition of energy into heat and light, brings us comfort, the ability to be warmed, see clearly in darkness ... and that inner-radiance that we carry recognises the Energy Signature of a built fire. It says 'hello friend' :)

I suppose this idea of 'building a bonfire' is akin to beginning a vibrational frequency of thought+spirit+intent and allowing it to expand, bloom and flourish.

1. Firstly, what is my bonfire's purpose? To ignite and establish a beginning point for some of my true passions.
2. Secondly, to create a community of support where we all help each other 'feed our inner radiance, and grow our bonfires'.
3. Thirdly to create the catalytic energy required for real change.

I can't imagine doing something like this solely for myself anymore. Everything I do now is tuned towards creating a greater awareness for many people...as many people who can connect to it as possible.

So what's my bonfire primarily made of? :) I love to think of each intention, thought, dream and spirit wish as a stick or log that I bring to the pile. Each one will become part of the intense heat of expression I release. So for now I'm building my pile. I've got sticks that are for Love, and Health, and Peace. The usual deals ;) Then bigger logs the size of tree branches for Life Purpose, Actualising Self Sufficiency, Providing Security for my Family and more...it'll take time to refine my intentions so I feel they are in Perfect Alignment with my true self's journey here and now. Some of these additions to my bonfire will take a while to burn fully, and when spent, will indicate the successful completion of that intention into manifestation. Others will provide immediate warmth and a glow that will make me smile and sigh with contentment :)

I'd love to know about your bonfire, its purpose and how you're building it. Bonfires of this kind aren't for burning off 'stuff', they are for transforming latent energy into Ecstatic Light! Remove associations with 'I don't want this anymore', and bring to your bonfire the energies of, 'I wish to attract THIS'. Positive Affirmation junkies (or nerds...if you will) can enjoy this kind of exercise, and for others it is a way of transforming thought processes from negatives to positives.

That's always an 'enLIGHTening' thing to achieve, ...it 'FIRES UP' your enthusiasm, ... provides 'KINDLING' for your future success ;)....alright...stopping now ;P

If you'd like to become part of the community supporting each other's bonfires, you can comment on the blogpost or join me on FB on my personal page or the biz page for HolisticTherapyConnections. (I'm also on Twitter too...social media is a great way of connecting)

To begin, add your first one or few 'sticks' to your bonfire. You might even like to name your bonfire...'Harold' or 'Mary'... or something more evocatively appropriate like 'Ignatious' 'Eldred', 'Seraphine', 'Eithne' or 'Enya' ... all names that have associations with fire, flame or spiritual fires. My bonfire is called 'Gypsy' because this is where I first began to learn about fire as a friendly thing instead of fearing it. This word, 'gypsy' has so many associations in regards to freedom, knowledge, healing, walking outside of the mainstream, the natural world, strength, fierceness, and community for me that it became my fire's name immediately. So, 'Gypsy' has its first few sticks and branches, and I feel the need to provide more kindling...I need some 'crunchy stuff' for it to consume right away...
oooooh! there you go... I do feel an Intention or two for the coming few weeks emerging :) ...


Blessings for Radiant Manifestation!

Healing on all levels with Helichrysum

Helichrysum growing in Corsica. As someone who loves to explore the Energy Signature of plants, this one looks decidedly like 'beauty in the middle of harshness' given the terrain it is seen growing and thriving in... A plant that knows how to get the best out of a not-so-optimal situation ;)

Healing scars and wounds is a passion of mine. I have been interested in healing the physical as well as spiritual and emotional scars, as I know taking care of all three enables true healing, and that's what I want; real healing, not a surface scar that I'll need to give more attention to later on. Helichrysum is also kown as 'Immortelle' and 'Everlasting', and commonly used as both a spiritual propellant and for the treatment of scarring and wounds.

My first forays into Aromatherapy started with the obvious and traditional uses of Lavender, Chamomile, Patchouli and the various blossoms and florals. They were a sensory wonder, and then came the more enlightened acknowledgement of the message they bring to the emotional and spiritual aspects of humans. This pricked my interest considerably! When I used Lavender I would see particular colours around me, or the person I was using it with. They were different colours to the ones for Chamomile, or Patchouli and so on. I also became tuned into a type of energetic music that each aromatherapy oil would suggest. This type of phenomena truly inspired my love of aromatherapy (and then I got a little crazy and overloaded myself with too many different oils) and furthered my journey of discovery with them.

Recently I had been up against a blockage emotionally. Feeling 'displacement' in my life, manifesting in confusions, doubts, apathy, lethargy and the other common ailments of a life not being driven particularly well. I'd taken my hands off the wheel and I knew that it didn't feel right. That's when Helichrysum decided to start saying 'hello'. I bought a bottle and marvelled at how amazingly healing the scent was. To me it instantly said 'bandages', and I was given a pale and soft cream colour to meditate upon. I felt my psyche being wrapped in soft, petal-like swathes of colour and aroma. A soft pentatonic melody swept through my Mind. *ding ding, dong, ding ding* :) I laughed at the message with joy. I thanked Helichrysum for the healing.

I think Helichrysum is working with me very slowly. It's aroma signature, or Energy Signature, is changing subtley with the time I am giving the treatment. At first it smelled decidedly 'medicinal', hence the immediate image and sensory overload of 'bandages'. It immediately knew I needed some protection and enclosure. Now, I am 'scentsing' a whole new floral layer to its aroma, and along with it is coming a greater perspective on the connections I have now. More appreciation for the passions I have. More acknowledgement about what makes me feel strong, what I love, and what I want to do.

I am aligning with something bigger than me and while I find it intimidating, I am also in awe of its beauty. My life is unfolding and old fears are being released. A new phase of healing comes in just as needed. In Perfect Timing as always ;)

Beautiful Blessings for Abundantly Natural Healing

Forecast for July - Flying Stars Feng Shui

Hello and welcome to sunny July :)
You can feel the sun returning each and every day, but the weather still tells us we are definitely in Winter eh? :) For those of you North of the equator, you'll be reveling in the longer days, sunnier weather, and the lazy bounty of Summer.
As far as the Energy Signature for July goes, interpreting the chart using Flying Stars Feng Shui shows that this month will bring significant Change to us all. We *will* have to be at ease in letting go of something we may perceive as valuable, but in all such cases, the mechanations of the All That Is is working for our greatest good. Let it go. Be at Peace. Flow towards the Ease of Being. (you get it)
The Flying Stars month of July starts on the 7th. I hope you enjoy some of the best Energy Layer's Signatures and avoid the not so great ones ;]

The Centre: Annual Star 7 is visited by Star 3. This is one of the most significant combinations I come across when doing house charts, as not only the sector it manifests in on a house chart makes for compelling interpretation, but the simple fact that it is manifesting at all is intriguing. We consider that we 'accumulate' throughout our life, but the issue of what we remove to allow room for more accumulation is key to our existence. If you have 7,3 manifesting in an active area on your house chart take time to really converse with that energy. It will be enlightening.
But, what about the transient Time energy of the Annual and Monthly combination? It can bring in experiences that allow for dramatic growth; simply dramatic because of the short amount of time it manifests for. Its like an unexpected visitor at the door. Kind of unnerving...
Tip: You can choose to subdue this combination using a balanced representation of Water and Fire element with a tiny bit of Earth. This creates a Bridge, or cycle between all 5 Elements or Agents of Energy, and in doing so a layer of Harmony is manifested. If you choose not to subdue the combination, make sure the area is cleared, tidied, repaired if needed, and place something of high vibrational energy there to ensure the most beautiful kind of change. Flourite is excellent for this combination as it has the colour representations of Wood, Water and Fire, the form of Water in its striations, as well as being Earth due to it physical manifestation as a Gemstone :) If you could get a rounded stone or a sphere of Flourite you would also include that Metal energy too!
Please DO look to physical and practical aspects of your Security on all levels, not just the locks and alarm systems, but also your personal energy barrier; your forcefield. Bulk up with some Black Tourmaline or Tektite okay? Stay safe xxx

You'll probably need to open this up in another window and take a good look at it. Feel free to download the pic and save it to your files for quick reference :)

North: 3,8 can mean excellent energy for businesses and commerce. Get in there and let your competitive edge do you some good! Be aware that Star 3 likes Conflict too...keep a cool head, be the Ultimo-Supremo Captain Calm and get things going your way.
Tip: Your mantra is 'There is always a Perfect Solution". Add Fire representations to this area along with some beautiful Water representation; a waterfall picture is great...maybe get a screen saver featuring many different waterfalls if this is your home office or work office...


Northwest: The Travel and Helpful People sector has the visiting energy of Passion Star 4 meeting up with the Annual Wealth Star 8. This can also be great for all business related enterprise...could also be a good time to side-step into your 'real' career...it carries that energy of subtle movement towards what you love instead of what you 'think you should be doing'. Obligation has no place on the True Path in your Life Experience.
Tip: Enhance with Beautiful Fire representations. Gemstones of wine colours, soft gorgeous textures in berry hues etc. Take some time to connect with mentors or those you aspire to be like, and find out how they accessed their dream career or Life Purpose.

Southwest: This is continued in the Relationships sector with the Passion Star 4 naturally boosting the Vivacious Star 9. This indicates that either a) you can be more outgoing to attract the kind of Connections you require to Progress, or b) someone you meet who is a lit fire-cracker will hep you with your Progression! :) Either way, sounds like fun eh?
Tip: Be open to new and extroverted people or behaviour in your Life Experience. Play! Enhance and Support this Energy Signature again with beautiful Fire representations.

West: The Vivacity of the West is somewhat compromised this month due to the arrival of the Monthly Star 5. This combination often feels like 'confused thoughts', 'apathy', 'disillusionment' etc...not fun. I think it needs to be squashed so as not to spoil the vibe of SW and NW.
Tip: West is the home of the Metal energy so do boost this up this month with a windchime, or some bells on a door that leads to this area of your building. Place representations of Metal energy around, and remove Fire representations.

East: Again the 5 Star here is one to be squashed. If the 5 Star has any low level energy to cling to (anything ugly, smelly, annoying etc) and is in tandem with a 1 Star, the probability of Depression is very likely. Star 1 is a Water Agent and associated with our emotions. It is Wisdom, Ideas, Expression and Danger...all those things we tie in with heightened states of awareness. 5,1 could be interpreted as 'cataclysmic change'...which is always confronting, often good for us in the long run, often painful for us in the short-term...so if you're feeling like 'Super-Being' then go for it...but I'd sooner choose to subdue this one.
Tip: Metal, Metal, Metal and maybe a bit more Metal...This will weaken the 5 and boost the 1. Star 1 is the Angel of Sheng Chi, certainly an Energy Signature to boost :)

Northeast: Lovely lovely 6,1 in the Contemplation sector. Noice. 6=Authority and Leadership, 1=Wisdom and Expression ie: Deep Thoughts.
Tip: Sit back, ponder, meditate, ruminate, and generally day-dream yourself silly. Take a journal...and make sure your pencil is sharp.

Southeast: Again some sublime energy in the Wealth sector which indicates a period to connect to the Divine Realm. 6=Heaven, 2=Earth, when this combines we can feel 'ascension' and realise 'heaven on earth'.
Tip: Bring in a representation of a Divine Being of your choice. Light little candles or put up some of those LED fairy lights at night :)

South: Ah well...sorry to cut short the 'fab-fest' of the last couple of sectors but there is something serious about a 7,2 combo in the Fire sector...7=Pleasure and Destruction, 2=Receptive and Accumulating. Hmmm...this combo can spin off into a bit of a party-hard situation leading to ill-health. Basically it can turn into a month long social frenzy leaving your energy very very low, and, your judgement way off.
Tip: Disengage this combination using the same kind of Bridge as you do for the Centre with predominant Metal this time, adding Water next then a bit of Wood and a *tiny, tiny* amount of Fire. Clean up, keep it quiet if possible, and do put in a Salt Water Cure here if it is a kitchen or bedroom. 7 is related to the Mouth, Teeth and Thorax, so manifesting a 'sore throat' or gum infection is a real possibility. Zinc up!

So July...full of opportunity, just like any other month, but now you know what areas of your building to enhance and which ones to clean up and keep quiet to enjoy a smoooooth flowing month.
