Annual Influences 2017 - Feng Shui Forecast

Copies of the Flying Stars Feng Shui Annual Influences Guide 2017 will be going out tomorrow morning. If you'd like to order your ebook copy you'll get it in your inbox tomorrow! Hardcopy flip books will be on their way by Tuesday afternoon, so they should make it where they need to be by Friday's post.


NOW is the time to do a sequence of cleaning that starts at your front door, and moves through the Ming Tang (the area outside and inside of your main entrance) to your living, working and relaxing spaces.


The energy is on the way OUT, and is supported by the Waning Moon (reducing) so it's perfect time to do a house blessings, space clearing ceremony or thorough de-cluttering....or all three! Feng Shui New Year is on the New Moon of the 28th January, when the Annual Influences align themselves into their new directional sector for the next 12 months. Clearing and cleansing invites in the best possible aspect of each energy influence to support, nourish and encourage success in all endeavours.

Be aware that in the South we will see the arrival of the Star 5 of Pure Potential, relating to the chaos of the Void. Remove overly Fire Element representations from this area, and repair anything broken, clean up anything that is unsightly or ugly. Burn some sacred oils, resins or incense here and keep it quiet and calm.

In the NW the Annual Star 2 can manifest ill-health and needs the Salt Water Cure in place as well as removing overly Fire Element representations and generally clearing and cleansing the space inside and outside your property.


The Annual Wealth Star 8 is locating into the EAST this year and so it is very important to have this area ready to welcome the energy for wealth opportunities. Not just in money, but any area of your life that you would like to see more Abundance flowing. Add a clean running water feature to the space and pop in a few Fire Element representations to lift the frequency here.

If you'd like to find out more about all this, please purchase your copy of the AIG 2017 from the website at www.HolisticTherapyConnections.com.

Here's an excerpt from the Guide for you to get started with...the February Calendar page...!

Thankyou

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’.

If you'd like to find out more about using Flying Stars Feng Shui in daily life, please pop over to the website and take a look at the Manuals and Guides available as downloadable PDF's. 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 to do before Feng Shui New Year 2016

Each new year is an opportunity to set out goals and plan for success. But what can you do to ensure your plans have the best possible energy to jump start your endeavours?

Flying Stars Feng Shui has been employed as a means of energy maintenance and manipulation for thousands of years. Following the Annual Influences using Flying Stars can help you avoid draining energy situations, and enjoy more of the easy and harmonious flow to life that we want.

Green Tara helps us observe our health and wellness in a better light.  A great influence to have in the Centre Palace this 2016 as a symbol of health, caring and compassion.   Improve your hygiene in all areas by detoxing and using non-toxic products for your daily routines. Using an abundance of fresh food and pure water will dramatically improve your overall health and wellbeing, and giving yourself proper self-improvement goals will heighten the energy of your mindset and spiritual connections.

In 2016 the Ruling Annual Influence is an Earth Element called Star 2. It is related to the Mother figure and is linked to the way we 'digest' life. It's energy is receptive, meaning that it considers what to take into itself, and yet it is also the Earth symbolism, so it is nurturing, relentless, strict and effortlessly kind. If you'd like to find out more about the Annual Influences I invite you to purchase the Annual Influences Guide 2016 from the website. It's packed full of helpful and easy to understand information about how to utilise Flying Stars Feng Shui in your everyday life for more peace, health and harmony.

However, here are five things you will need to know for this feng shui year:

The central area of your home needs to be de-cluttered, cleaned and have the highest possible energy instilled into it before February 8th. If there is anything broken or unsightly get it repaired or aesthetically fixed in order to invite in the beauty of Star 2 energy and not falter with health problems relating to the digestive system. Add Metal Element representations in colour, shape and sound. There are lots of ideas in the AIG 2016, but generally, bringing in metal sculptures or round metal bowl for decoration will help.
Add a Salt Water Cure to the central area of your home or business to clean the atmosphere and utilise a powerful elemental pairing to keep Star 2 at heel.
Play metallic sounding music to soothe the energy layer. Piano music, temple gongs, or beautiful chimes.
Remove Fire Element representations and do not have running water features in this area.

.:~:.

Clean the area outside the front of your home with meticulous care and attention before February 8th.
Buy a new doormat if yours is a little shabby. Add a handful of rock salt underneath your doormat to purify the area. Place a mantra for the year under the doormat as well to instill the area with high quality energy...something like, "Great happiness, health, protection and wealth enters this Home now" or "This Home is divinely protected and everyone who lives within its walls are cared for with Grace".

.:~:.

The direction to avoid facing when working for long periods or for important occassions is North. This is the Three Sha or Three Killings influence which can effectively drain your life of health, wealth and harmony very quickly, even if your 'feng shui' in the building is good...

.:~:.

The direction to avoid facing for very important occassions is WSW. This is the Grand Duke or Tai Sui influence which you must have your back to in order to receive it's support. Facing it means 'challenge' and can lead to problems occurring 'en-mass'. Do not 'break the ground' with earthworks or plumbing and drainage digging in the WSW or the opposite slice of the ENE as this can lead to big problems occurring. If you have to dig, place a metal wind chime to produce the Sound of Metal remedy, between the house or building and the digging taking place. If possible do not live in the house or work in the building while work is going on.

.:~:.

Add Metal Element to the Northeast this year to promote a smooth flow to Life and a good mindset. There is a great feng shui cure to place a clean metal bowl outside the area affected by the Star 5 influence (this year it is the NE) and fill it with clean water regularly. But if you can't do this because it is an inaccessible area of your property, or just not practical because of pets, then you can hang a metal wind chime in the area to produce the Sound of Metal cure, also potent and pleasing.

Available as a pdf download. Get your copy of the AIG 2016 and be ready for anything...

Enjoy a smooth flow of energy in all your endeavours by consciously reworking and revitalising the energy layers of your spaces regularly.

Blessings

Infinite possibilities begin with you

It is too easy to shift blame and anger onto someone else, something else...to look to the future for a cure or the past for an excuse. Looking here and now with no shame, no blame and no fear of retribution is a healing experience.

Kindness to yourself begins with kindness to others. Learning to unravel the occurrences and happenings with objectivity, mixed with a healthy dose of compassion for yourself and for those involved, will move mountains.

‪#‎believeinyourself‬ ‪#‎bestronginyourself‬ ‪#‎youareinfinite‬ ‪#‎holisticliving‬ ‪#‎compassion‬ ‪#‎kindessrocks‬

Clear the way...

"Clear the way and let it come to you."

When energy is blocked it cannot find a path to follow, and it festers, re-hashing the layer of energy until it is spent. You've heard of 'Groundhog Day' yes? Or being 'stuck in a loop'? Recycling is great for metal, wood, plastic and paper...but not so much for you and your life's journey...

If you hear yourself saying phrases like,.."I really hate it when this happens" ..."Why is bad stuff always happening to me/us?"... "I can't see a way out of this situation"... "It feels as if the world is against me", or similar, then you are receiving a message loud and clear that your current life situation is in need of change.

Comfortable change, when attained, is a beautiful journey of discovery, achievement and enjoyment. The simple and often misunderstood act of 'change' is all about inviting in a new set of possibilities, opening yourself to new potentials by establishing a new grid of energy in your home, mind, heart, life and more.

When energy flow (qi flow) is nourished with easy, meandering avenues, it will naturally become creative, alive and dynamic.

The outer cycle of energy is normal, and natural, and nourishing...this is feng shui theory describing the flow of Qi.
The Elements represent a 'type of energy' not only the material form.

How do we apply this idea into everyday life?

Through our thought processes being given new and nourishing ways to solve problems, perceive issues and attain prowess. (meditation, self-improvement literature and courses)

Through our food and liquid intake we can drastically change our body's ability to process toxins and nourishment as well. We can change the energy layer of physical health within days if proper qi flow options are taken.

Through our involvement with social interactions and entertainment we can assist both thought and physical qi flow.

Through our intimate relationships we can heighten the spiritual heart connections we have with our beliefs and loved ones.

Through respecting our finances and observing with gratitude the current living conditions we are immersed in, we can build a new sense of stability and security to support wealth opportunities.

Long ago I wrote an article about 'shaking up the Grid', which was a similar piece, relating the connection between our energy layers and our lifestyle. If the grid is changed, that is, the current interlocking layers are moved, refreshed, removed and re-instigated with the highest possible energy flow, then our life will be refreshed with healthy new qi flow, and healthy new occurrences will manifest.

Today, think about two things you want to change or need to change, and write down options for making these things change for the better. Two small steps today that you can put into practice for one month.

Carpe Diem (of sorts) for the new year to come.

Blessings

Space Clear for the New Year! and a sneak peek at the Feng Shui of 2016

I'm writing up the very last parts of interpretation for the 2016 Monthly Forecasts over the next couple of days ... here's a snippet from the 'Annual Influences Guide Sector Forecast' for the Centre Palace (or the very central area of your home or business building)...

"Centre ~ The Pure Potential offered by the Earth Star 5 has been calmed by the Period Star 8 bringing a sense of ‘pause & reflect’ to all our lifestyle choices. It has opened up a feeling that life might be better lived at a slower pace in general, and our growing awareness of ‘busyness’ in daily life that sucks away contentment, appreciation and gratitude. In 2016 the Earth Star 2; Mother symbology, the energy of nurturing, connections and relationships; is a harmonious link in this triple Earth Star combination. Very grounding. Very stabilizing, and for those who are in flux it will serve as a portal to Health and Harmony objectives. It has the ability, if tapped into, to transform a scattered life into something that is stable, responsible and calm. With the tremendous upheaval we see in many parts of the world, we can take every action to make our homes into havens, our businesses into vehicles for change, and our Life Experience one of real gratitude for the opportunities that present.

In Flying Stars, the combination of an 8 Star and a 2 Star is interpreted as being good for property or land. It can present opportunities that may consolidate real estate investments, or have stabilizing effects upon real estate matters. Conversely, it can put things into a ‘holding pattern’ as the energy of Star 8 slows things down naturally. Regardless of your personal real estate situation, it is a year to put energy towards beautifying, cleansing and enjoying the landscape that your home and business dwells in. This is where rich rewards come from.

Because we have the underlying energy influence of Star 8 within this combination we are able to utilize supportive Elemental Balancing and give this energy some true ‘gravity’. Add a large statue, or sculpture that is either tangibly heavy and rock-like. If it is cubic or rectangular and in the colours of ochre-yellow to soil brown it will also be elementally supportive. However, no running water, and if ill-health is a recurring issue during February, (particularly take notice of digestive issues) place a Salt Water Cure or other Metal Remedy into this central area of the building. Clear away anything unsightly or neglected and repair anything in this area that is damaged or broken."

Feng Shui New Year is not until the beginning of February 2016 so you have more than a month to prepare your spaces! After this powerful Full Moon just gone, it is a PERFECT time to reboot your living and working spaces with a physical clean out and clean up, cleansing ceremony and invitation for all good things to come your way.


Happy Feng Shui-ing everyone!
Jannette :)

'One Quiet Moment' - a blessing for 2016

Have been thinking of the year to come, of the hectic feelings this end-of-year time can bring, and upon reflection (in a rare quiet moment) I had this gem pop into my Mind...

"When sublime Peace is achieved, the core state of Consciousness can unlock all manner of potential..."

Sublime Peace is something that occurs without intention, without method or prompting. It comes to you in the most unlikely of places sometimes. Within the tumult of an argument when you have the 'ping' of real insight/compassion/understanding. Within the maelstrom of social events when you find yourself truly observing with gratitude and clarity. Within the mundanity of everyday life as you clean up after your loved ones, and notice how much care you put into what you do.

Wishing you all the time to appreciate your innate magical Consciousness and to give it space to fill your Mind with the ideas for all manner of possibilities.

Blessings for a new year filled with Peace, Happiness and Harmony in perfect ways.

'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.

'Rich Living' - a life that is rich with wealth of Love, Purpose, Friendship and Happiness

Today I spent a lovely hour speaking with Michelle House. Michelle runs an excellent program called 'Rich Living' to help people budget and plan for a life that feels abundant, in control and rewarding. In her own words...

"It’s not about the money; it never has been and never will be.
However, this is where most of us get stuck and this is where we need to start.
Life is about beautiful connected relationships, freedom to be who we are, loving and joyful memories to create.
To begin with we need to have a sense of clarity and confidence. We can then use this as a foundation for us to bounce from in leaps and bounds!!
For me, rich living is about Living RICH – an enriched life that fulfills my soul each day. RICH Living is about living my life purposefully and deliberately. No more rolling from one day to the next!!"

She's recorded our interview for her 'Rich Living' program to inspire and enthuse you all towards a streamlined, successful and prosperous 2015. Sounds good yes?!
I'll post up the link in a few days when its ready.

One of the things Michelle pointed out was a quote from the Annual Influences Guide 2015...

"With peaceful and diligent attention, all problems or perceived obstacles can be solved or removed. This is the gift of contemplation I believe."

It's from the page 'about me'. I like to think that we can be kind to ourselves, and even if we have tipped over the edge and completely lost it, gone nuts, had a scream and a flail, we can still calm ourselves and look at any situation with renewed rationality and a sense of how to make it right again.

Blessings for calm contemplative 'windows' in your day.

Stay tuned for the upcoming blogpost '5 things you need to know for a smooth 2015'

The AIG 2015 - Month by month through the new feng shui year

Here's a little of the introduction to this coming year's energy signature from the Annual Star 3, taken from the Annual Influences Guide 2015:

"This year the dominating energy will be one that is known for it’s competitive nature. That ‘go-getter’ attitude that in its highest form creates expansion and dramatic progression, yet in lower vibrations can elicit behaviour without scruples, conflict, argumentative dispositions and physical violence.
When challenge arises we can do several things to combat it...and I use the word ‘combat’ in its passive form, that being to defend oneself against retaliative behaviour that can inflict suffering on ourselves as well as others. Globally, retaliation has been the cause of many wars and social upheaval. It is the underlying discord created by ‘an eye for an eye’ philosophy, and the heart-breaking pain it causes humanity.
So this energy potential can be subtly dismantled with the opposite of conflict; compassion. When we give compassionate attention to conflictive or contentious occurrences, we see that each side is lead into conversation. Each side is given voice, and validation and in this effort, reconciliation can be achieved."

The AIG 2015 ebook is available to order right now. 32 pages packed full of tips, suggestions and inspiration from Flying Stars Feng Shui and energy flow techniques to promote more Health, Wealth & Harmony in your life this year.

To see what kind of information is in one of the AIG's simply download a free copy of the AIG2013 from the website.

Clearing up the SE is a great way to begin the New Year, because it means you're usually 'in time' for a tidy space to invite in new Wealth energy to the Abundance sector of the SE before the change over to the Feng Shui New Year  around the beginning of February. THIS year it isn't until the 19th of February, so you have LOADS of time to clear, sort and organise that space.

This year coming we have the Annual Star 2 residing in the SE, so it is a good time to remove anything 'unhealthy' from this space to ensure it has High Quality Qi Flow. Get a Salt Water Cure ready to install in this space if it is a bedroom, kitchen, dining or home office. This easy little energetic remedy promotes good quality atmosphere by instilling negative ions and removing positive ions. This quick little electrical 're-wire' to your air quality can help a body's immune system re-balance from all of the electronic pollution we have in our homes that can cause fatigue, headaches, glandular swelling and other symptoms of illness.

Flying Stars Feng Shui - May Forecast

Hello cool weather! it's May in SE Qld and we know it because we actually have to wear pyjamas to bed...

May sees the awkward combination of Annual Star 4 visited by the Monthly Star 5 in the Centre...this pretty much sets the tone for the month, where our innermost loves undergo Change in some way. Its a pull on the emotions, the stability of our homes and relationships, and our general demeanour. IF you are experiencing ill-health or a bunch of injury related 'argh', then do input a Salt Water Cure in the Centre immediately and clear away all clutter, repair broken things and just love it up with some calming and healing essential oils and essences. Provide high quality vibrational Qi to lift the Grid and establish Beauty, Harmony and Peace. This goes for the EAST as well...

Following are the Summary and Alert paragraphs from the AIG 2014 (now on Sale for $35.00)

Summary 

If you play your house / building right this month you can pick up some great energy combinations! But if you have a place with a East to West (or vice versa) main door to back door arrangement, well… see if you can find another way of entering the building. Even the SE is getting ansy and has potential for a bit of argy-bargy… A month to “pass the Lavender and Chamomile” for sure. 

The gorgeous things darling are located in the South and the NE. 9,8 is called ‘Healthy & Wealthy’ combination because of the vivacious Star 9 teaming up with that beautiful Wealth Star 8. Its ‘The Angel of Vivacity & Vigour’ (9) with ‘The Angel of Wealth & Happiness’. Just what this month needs! The combination in the NE is the ‘Young Romance’ and can be used to bring us that feeling of being loved, in love, loving other things and other people. Generally, it invites in Love. Pleasure (7) with Happiness (8). Feed both with beautiful jewels in red tones, candle-lit dinners, red cushions, gorgeous things in Fire hues and lots and lots of happy human energy.

North is great too with the ‘super balance’ combo of Water 1 with Fire 9. When these are together you can take a breath, and relax. (repeat) . There may be a tendency to overwork if you are a dominant female and work or sleep or have an entrance door in the SW. It may also lead to a male of the house feeling slightly overlooked. Remedy with Metal element in Shape and Colour…and a little healthy perspective.

Because we are in the month of transition from warm to cool weather, I thought you may like to have this reference diagram for bodily associations of the Flying Stars...might help you to understand any oncoming illness and apply appropriate remedies to rebalance and regain good health. 

Alerts

Centre: Challenges of the Heart can occur as the Star 5 of Earth flies in to meet the Annual Star 4 Wood. This is a forced energy relationship, and Star 5 is going to feel pushed about by our desires. A month to bring Metal in beautiful forms into the Centre of our homes. White lights, sparkling silvers, pearly and serene table runners perhaps…

East& West: The ‘Fighting Bull Sha’ & ‘Clashing Swords’ combinations can really ‘turn it on’ for arguments and fighting. Occurring in the Family and Children sectors gives us a heads up to where the arguments may come from. To dismantle the East combination add lots of Metal and a little bit of those visual representations of Love, Patience and Compassion. For the West, absolutely drown it in Water representations in Shape and Colour only. NO running water at all.

SE: The Abundance sector is hosting the ‘Competition’ combination of 3,4...both Wood elements, one ‘big’ one ‘small’...so they are competing for the same nourishment. Add lots of Water to it if you are in business here, add plenty of Pale and Beautiful Fire to it if you are in a family home.

JUST to reiterate ... there is a LOT of potential for conflict and arguments, even fighting, in this months' energy grid. My take on it is that we'll feel friction from virtually anything, so being conscious of that possibility, and doing all we can to enjoy as much peace and tranquil nature as we can will go a long way to diffusing the possible explosions of emotional behaviour.  If we can't find a way to resolve arguments that leave us feeling 'good' and leave the other party knowing they have had their issues addressed, means we haven't really accessed a solution at all. 

"All Solutions I access bring Peace and Understanding"

Rescue Remedy is available from HTC for only $15.00 and is perfect to have on hand for any situation where we feel emotional overload or 'life overwhelm'. I also use it as a preparatory strategy for any situations that I find give me anxiety before they happen. You might also love to have some Aura Protection Mist as well ;} Magic Earth Mumma (my alter ego) has some natural and organic aromatherapy ideas you may find helpful. As always, I am available for consultations in person at your home or online via an e-consultation. Please see the website for details here, or contact me direct here, for any questions you may have.

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...

Copies of the Annual Influences Guide 2014 for all Flying Stars Feng Shui with a month by month calendar are available to order direct from the website. PDF downloads or hardcopy. Get yours now!

Blessings for a super month everyone!

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
Jannette

 

 

 

 

 

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!
Jannette :)

May 2013 Flying Stars Forecast

May 2013 Annual and Monthly Influences with Bagua sectors :)

Everyone take a big deep breath...and now let it out slowly...'ahhhhh'. Ah doesn't Star 8 in the Centre Palace feel good ;). If you've a home with an open plan layout, this month will feel a whole lot calmer, and hopefully a whole lot 'quieter' in terms of change or discomfort. Star 8 is the energy of 'stopping and resting', an Earth energy that is The Mountain. So sit a while...soak up some stability of good earthy vibes and appreciate the solidity that comes from quiet contemplation.

From the AIG 2013 -

Summary: The Wealth Star moves into the Centre bringing with it the Opportunity for wealth gains of all kinds. You'll find benefits from Contemplation about any of these opportunities and Speech will be needed to actually get things to fruition. Clarity arrives regarding Help you may have been requesting, and how to approach how you'll present yourself. Creative Expression is easy this month as the chatty Annual Star 7 is moved to support and nourish Expression and Ideas in the Creative sector. This can be so beautifully combined with your Career or Life Purpose as the Passion Star 4 is being nourished by Wisdom. There may be tension with the Family structure with control being exerted upon a 'new way of doing things'. Be prepared for compromise regarding Relationships as Communication will be dreadfully strained due to the 5,2 combo which makes for 'difficult receiving'.

 Alerts -
SW: Input Metal element of all kinds (or boost what you have in place for the Annual Star 2) Keep it quiet, tidy up, repair, maintain with High Qlality Qi Flow helpers eg: Incense, Atmospheric sprays etc.
East: Potential injuries to feet, or, sore throats, chest infections illnesses of the respiratory tract. Practical steps using 'heating' foods like garlic, chiilli, onioin, ginger...to help simulate the immune system. Implement Fire element.
SE: Potential for despondency relating to Abundance issues. Use Water element to subdue the Star 7 this month and boost your Star 4 Passions.

Our Winter weather is coming on now with cool cool nights and fairy chilly mornings. Slippers are a must for tiled floors and we're all enjoying that warm drink in the morning, a lot. This is also a time to integrate more warming foods into your diet each week. Ginger, Chilli, Garlic, Turmeric...oh it can only mean one thing for me...a 'one-pot' Indian curry of some description slow cooking for an afternoon. I cook a curry most weeks from scratch, enjoying the meditation of preparation, the combining of these marvelous herbs and roots, powders and oils, that end up in the most deliciously mouth-watering creation with only an hour under the lid, on the very gentlest of heat. My fave? Coconut milk curry with Turmeric and Vegetables. I usually use potato, onion, a selection of any veg I have in the crisper, plus a heap of chick peas and lentils thrown in too. Adding the rice in before the coconut milk and coating it with the oily herbs and spices makes for a great 'briani' style meal. Anyway...that's another post in the 'Recipes' label ;) This sort of food is satisfying, gently cooked in its own juices to avoid losing any nutritional value, and packed full of Ayurvedic helpers! Just what we need for Winter food here in SE Qld.

With Star 2 in the SW visited by the Monthly Star 5 we may see some digestive system problems arise. Fortifying with wholesome foods that help the digestive system cleanse and regulate will be advised. Garlic and Onion are excellent 'prebiotics' helping the absorption of food in the intestinal tract and, with the benefit of being powerful anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agents. Still, Salt Water Cure into bedrooms and workspaces, as too with the Wealth Bringer Bowl outside in the SW for the Star 5.

Connections in Relationships can be strained this month with the manifestation that someone you are close to is 'just making you sick' or you may hear it said 'I can't stand to be around [insert name here], they make me sick'.THIS is a massive 'tell' that you are being negatively affected by Star 2 in the SW. Clear up, clean up, love up and see the change occur for the better.

Blessings for a super start to Winter and a Beautiful May wherever you are ;)

April 2013 Extended Flying Stars Forecast

Hello! Isn't this just the most magical time of year? Here in Southeast Queensland we are finally seeing the kind of weather that makes us all enjoy the outdoors a whole lot more than we thought was possible :) Summer IS fantastic, no denying it, but it can be oppressive, just like the cold of Winter, the intense heat of our High Summer is a time when we seek shelter; not just from the sun but often the storms as well.
From the AIG 2013 Calendar, it is noted that 'The generating New Moon energy [on the 10th] is best used to begin a fortifying regime in readiness for the Autumn weather. 'Nourish Thyself'.'

Bach Flower Essence bland of Rescue Remedy, White Chestnut and Walnut...this month's Special. To order follow this link to the website. Affirmation: "I now sincerely put into action, beneficial changes that increase my Wealth, Health and Harmony"

I've been taking a blend of Bach Flower Rescue Remedy with White Chestnut and Walnut. The White Chestnut with Rescue Remedy is the classic 'Sleep Well' blend and when mixed with Walnut, the flower of Transitions, it assists us to move through stages or cycles with ease, avoiding illness or confusion symptoms. Highly helpful for this time of year and for this month's Centre Palace combination....on special now for $12.95 (+p&h)

From the Annual Influences Guide 2013 -

Summary: A change in the way you Perceive things is blowing through this month. You'll be more concerned with what you love, but conversely you'll be questioning it all. That ol' Confusion combination is in the Centre and its going to be clouding the Clarity of issues. Happily tho' there is Divine help available in Communications. Really needed in relation to Career, employment and such as there is the potential for misunderstandings. Be aware that Health and Family may see something lost or taken. Protection is needed for Children in regards to illness or injury, or it may manifest as a loss of Creative energy due to ill health. The Wealth Star visits the Wealth sector so do please install your desktop water feature of outdoor water feature to this area and sit back to observe the Wealth Opportunities fly in! Biz dealings get a great help up with directed thought enhancing plans in the NE.

Flying Stars Annual and Monthly Influences with Bagua Sectors

Alerts-
East: Potential Loss with Metal 7 (speech/destruction) cutting Wood 3 (planning/ambition). Dismantle this by inputting Fire and Water representations in large doses. Practical security steps again need to be taken.
West: Health issues for children surrounding Mouth, Teeth, Throat illnesses. Take precautions...use Salt Water Cure and Metal element to subdue.
SW: 'Heaven Meets Earth' again! Two months in a row it is manifesting! Beautiful energy to boost with representations of Divine Beings.
NW: Great combination of energy to assist Students or academic progresswith Wisdom and Authority Influences combining in the Progression sector.

As we head into the softer season of Autumn, our thoughts turn usually to readying the garden for this gentler weather, and our homes for the cooler nights. Softness of texture and a boost to comfort levels will ease the transition from the intensity of Summer, and also, it will ease the transition through this 'Fifth Season' period where we are more susceptible to immune system threats. It's probably the best month to get out of the house with that Confusion combination in the Centre Palace. Those who spend a lot of time at work in the Centre of the house would be wise to avoid making important decisions or choices this April, especially so if there are entrances and/or exits in the East and West, as we have potentials for Loss and Creativity problems. BUT, if your Qi is High Quality, :) then you may enjoy a boost of Competitive energy or Ambitious momentum from the East, and from the West perhaps a lot of ideas regarding Creativity 'accumulating' which is another side to the Star 2 Influence...one of Receptivity...you may find yourself in a perpetual state of inspired thought creatively ;]
* Again, ... enhance your practical Security in the East and West this month...personal as well as property *
Colours and Shapes: Dark Blue, Black,White and Metallic colours, Rounded and Curved shapes

This is just the way the Influences work in tandem with a structure, not just rigidly popping into a state of being in a building, but being affected by the architecture, the Form/Purpose/Activity and Beauty of a place.

Read more about 'Form/Purpose/Activity' from Manual 3 'Advanced Charting and Interpretation of Combinations', on the website as a free 'sneak peek' page in the Articles and Info section.

People who are sleeping on the 6,2 combination in the SW may find themselves having profound dreams. This is the Heaven Meets Earth influence of Star 6, Heaven/Father/Authority/Leadership/Assistance with Star 2, Earth/Mother/Receptivity/Accumulation/Connections. Low level Qi may result in unfavourable spiritual activity. Blessing this space with the invitation to Arch Angel Michael for protection, placing Kuan Yin or Artemis here if it is a room of a child or Mother, is helpful when the Qi issue may be unfixable at present, eg: the problem is outside of your property such as a very unsightly mess from a neighbour's garden, or there is something currently unrepairable. Basically, call on Divine Assistance when this combination manifests and observe the synchronicity.
Colours and Shapes: Brown/Beige/Taupe, White and Metallic colours, Hexagonal, Octagonal, Rounded and Curved shapes

 

South and this passionate Annual Star 4 Wood is visited by the Vivacious Star 9 Fire! I see this as a potential catalyst for anyone sleeping, having a workspace, or having an entrance door, in this sector. If you are not 'doing what you love' you may very well have a massive month of exploring what truly makes your heart sing and your spirit soar :) Maybe you can be true to what your Purpose is Here and Now...
Colours and Shapes:  Red/Pink/Purple/Orange colours, Star, Diamond, Triangular shapes

In the SE and NE we see this beautiful Wealth Star 8 in its Annual position (NE) and Monthly manifestation (SE). Both combinations are Earth 8 with a Wood energy...this is the 'controlling cycle' again so we see Wealth issues 'pushed into action' and the result will be ???...only your level of Qi can determine that. Set high standards with constant striving (the SE's natural influence) and you may come out of April ever so slightly burnt out, yet pacing yourself, and allowing time for Reflection and Contemplation (using the NE's natural influence) will assist you in coming through with successes to enjoy and more plans to continue with.
Colours and Shapes: Red/Pink/Purple/Orange colours, Hexagonal, Octagonal, Square or Rectangular shapes.

5,1 combination in the North sees potential for misunderstandings as Star 5 Earth is sometimes uncomfortable when in this 'controlling cycle' combination with the Star 1 Water. What can result is the Ideas/Expressions of people are met with a condition of 'contraryness' by others ('you say white, I'll say black'). Its the ol' 'be ready for change' aspect of Star 5 at work. Perhaps a bit of reverse psychology is necessary? ;)
Colours and Shapes: White and Metallic colours; Rounded and Curved shapes

This just leaves the NW to consider, with the natural influence of creating 'Perfect Synchronicity', the Water Star 1 manifests during April to draw assistance from the Metal Star 6. This can unfold as a person receiving assistance from a Mentor or Governing body to help with some form of Expression. Grants for artistic or acadmic purposes are just one favourable outcome of a combination like this. SO! if you have an office or workspace in this area it is highly beneficial to use. If not, place forms of communication here like an iPad/Tablet, PC, phone, notebook and pen, bookcase, radio or TV. Anything that can act as a conduit for information :)
Colours and Shapes: Dark Blue, Black, White and Metallic colours; Wavy/Irregular, Rounded and Curved shapes


After the Full Moon on the 26th the Waning Moon takes away what we no longer need. The coming of Autumn is a time to reflect upon what our forebears left us in terms of Wisdom. The 30th sees us in the Southern Hemisphere celebrating Samhain or All Hallows Eve, and in the Northern Hemisphere the celebration of Beltaine and the coming of Spring :)

Happy April! :) Flying Stars change over in the first week of each month. Take some time to evaluate your property and make some changes to enjoy High Quality Qi Flow :) !

Blessings
Jannette
