Not having much luck in love lately? Relationship falling apart? Maybe its those upside down dried flowers in you have hanging in your hallway, (oh so chic in Martha Stewart Land but the kiss of the death in Feng Shui circles.) Or maybe its the antique full length mirror in your bedroom ...

Feng Shui (pronounced Feng Shway) is the ancient Chinese art of rearranging design elements so that they harmonize with your enviroment. Several systems are used to determine what should go where to enhance the love life, but the one that applies to anyone reading this is the Pa Kua system. In Pa Kua, the southwest corner is the love sector of your home.

First of all get a compass, and find out what exactly is in the Southwest corner of your building. Is there a bedroom there? Good. A toilet there? Bad. It means your romantic prospects are getting flushed away. Is your Southwest corner a badly lit storeroom full of clutter? Also bad. It means your love-life will be as messy as well. In fact, no matter what room that corner is located in, it now becomes your job to enhance it as best as you can, by getting rid of clutter and using decor. You are also going to rehaul the southwest corner of your bedroom to double your chances of attracting romance.

What's in southwest corner of your bedroom? A closet? Bad. A vase full of beautiful flowers? Good. That will greatly enhance your chances of attracting a suitable partner.

To attract a partner, Feng Shui experts recommend putting a painting of peonies, or a vase of the flowers there. You could substitute any flower for the peony (as long as its not prickly like a cactus), but whatever you do make sure the flowers are fresh. The Chinese hate dead or dried flowers and would prefer that you have those rather than any kind of decay in a spot
that signifies your love life. Also lucky for romance, is a pair of wooden ducks or a painting of two ducks (as ducks mate for life) If you don't like how formal these ducks look, you can always do what I did and put two rubber ducks in your southwest corner.

Mirrors on the ceiling, especially full-lenght ones, or mirrors on the walls in the bedroom are a big no no, as they symbolize portals through which an interfering third party's energy can enter...Feng Shui masters don't like to invite voyeurism.

If you don't like Chinese decor, you could use my favourite westernized Feng Shui tool -- the Lava Lamp. Pink glowing goo moving up and down in your romance corner is sure to send out a sensuous vibe. Pictures or statues of loving couples or love friendly Goddesses such as Venus and Aphrodite would also help activate the love sector. As the southwest corner is symbolized by the earth element, it is also helpful to place crystals there, with the most suitable choice being rose quartz. If you want to go all out, you might want to also consider painting that corner or adjacent walls a bright red, also to symbolize passion. Whatever you do, don't go overboard...you could end up with a bedroom that looks like a Chinese brothel, or worse yet, invite somebody over who is familiar with Feng Shui who might go Hmmmm...I see ducks, flowers, crystals, red walls ...I better get out of here! This person is just a tad too desperate for me!

Annual Forecast & Feng Shui Remedies for 2007 : Yin Red Fire Pig Year - Dragon Sign Chinese Zodiac

The Chinese Zodiac Astrology is ancient, interesting, accurate and loved by millions across the world. The Chinese Zodiac is based on cyclic concept of time : a cycle of 12 years, repeated again and again. The 12 Years are associated with 12 Celestial Animals : Rat (or Mouse on Mongoose), Ox (or Buffalo or Bull or Cow), Tiger, Rabbit (or Hare or Cat), Dragon, Snake (or Serpent), Horse, Goat (or Sheep or Ram), Monkey, Rooster (or Hen or Cock or Chicken or Phoenix), Dog and Pig (or Boar or Hog). The animal names occasionally differ with the Oriental Country they originate. The Chinese Yearly Horoscopes are basically built around these 12 Animal Signs.

Your Chinese Astrological Zodiac Animal Sign is directly based on the Chinese Lunar Year of Birth that you were born. The Chinese New Year is mobile and could start anywhere between 21st January and 20th February, depending upon the year. If your Date of Birth falls into any of the following Chinese Lunar Years, then, because you are born in the Year of the Dragon, you are symbolically identified by your Celestial Animal, the "Dragon" :

From 16 Feb 1904 to 03 Feb 1905

From 23 Jan 1928 to 09 Feb 1929

Enjoy the Annual Forecasts and learn about the suggested Feng Shui & Crystal Remedies that you may need for the coming "New Lunar Year 2007 : Ding Hai, the Year of the Yin Red Fire Pig" :

CAREER 2007 is a year of considerable promise and signals an upturn in your fortunes. You can finally see the rays of hope at the end of the dark tunnel. Take advantage of every single opportunity and derive mileage from your experience and capabilities. Remember to take the advice and support of your friends and colleagues. Team work will yield much better results. Hard work and perseverance will bring you success. External pressure and competition will surface but timely help from your benefactors will help you win them. Make sure you control your temper or you might end up disrupting some good interpersonal relationships. Beware of female back-stabbers. Keep your cool and be modest and humble about your success. If you are onto trading, travels, marketing, exports and imports, hotels and marriage halls, you will do much better than others. If you are a salaried employee, recognition will come your way with promotion and salary increment. But be alert and do not get involved in battles for influence or take sides in internal politics. If you wish to venture out on your own or in partnership, now is the right time. Display the statue or real photo of the Great Mentor Kuan Kung in your North West to get the best out of 2007. Attending training classes or refresher courses will greatly contribute to your future prospects. Keep your diaries and documents locked up in a safe; encrypt your computer files and assign a safe password and beware of enemies listening into your conversations secretly - you are likely to be a victim of information theft this year and suffer from deteriorated fame and reputation because of that.

MONEY Financially, an encouraging year with increase in income supplemented by commissions. Your investments will pay up. Surplus money will accumulate. Put a ban on your luxurious spending sprees and plan your budget well. Impose fiscal discipline on your bank accounts. Now is the time to reduce your borrowings (if you have any) and save up for buying assets in the future. Place a three-legged toad (opposite to your main door, but as if it is coming inside your home) to create a conducive atmosphere for buying assets. If you were born in 1976, you may get a remarkable windfall luck. If you were born in 1964, you could be hit by lawsuits this year.

HEALTH Most of you will face many health problems including high stress levels, skin allergies, insomnia, food poisoning, migraines, digestive and respiratory disorders. Females should watch out for problems related to sexual organs. If you are a female and in post-natal recuperation, you have to increase the immunity powers of your body. Avoid sexual promiscuity. If you are carrying over abdominal and gastrointestinal problems from last year, it could worsen this year. Accidents might happen during travels or in sports. Hang two large sized natural Chinese Sacred Gourd Wou-Lous : one near your main entrance and the other in your bedroom, on your headboard side. Keep a Black Tourmalene Crystal Tree near your bedside. If you were born in 1928, you might become light headed, weak and not in full control of your bodily functions. If you are a female born in 1964, you could be affected by gynecological ailments.

LOVE Excellent love luck with high levels of sexual appetite. A good year for marriage and child-bearing. Singles will get engaged and then get married within a short span of time. If you are married, you may make use of the intense sexual energy in the air to restrengthen your relationship to your spouse and build up a more harmonious equation. However refrain from indulging in extramarital affairs or else you will face severe penalties in near future. Install the icon of a Rooster in the South West of your bedroom and carry a set of 3 Qui-Yong coins with you always to discipline yourself. If you were born in 1964, you could face a serious love triangle problem.

STUDIES A good year for all those who are studying. But you need a higher level of motivation. Set yourself a challenge. A challenge that will be realistic as well as enjoyable too. Then you will accomplish. This is a year for acting on ideas. You could learn a new knowledge skill or take up a new social interest, for personal satisfaction. Maybe you will join a local society or arrange a meeting group for fellow enthusiasts. This will open up a new vista of opportunities and contacts which you will cherish in the years to come. If you are a female born in 1988, you will be immersed in Peach Blossom luck : do not lose your head or chastity, but concentrate only on studies. Install a Pagoda Tower in the North East of your study room.

Birthstone : Ruby Good Relationships with : Rat, Rooster and Monkey, for 2007 Conflicts with : Tiger Ox and Dog, for 2007 Polarity Force : More Yang Lucky Numbers : 3, 4, 5, 6, 15, 21, 34, 35, 36 and 45 Zodiac Protector : Puxian or Samantabhadra (Sanskrit)

A NOTE ABOUT REMEDIES :

Chi Spot - Feng Shui Tips

Knock, Knock. Do You Know Where Your Front Door Is?

When I am contacted to conduct a Feng Shui consultation, looking at front entrances to the property is a main focus. Often what shows up as the family?s favorite entrance are garages, hidden entrances and doors placed in what has become an inconvenient location over the years as practicality carved out a shorter path. In these situations, the front door is seldom used.

Feng Shui encourages regular use of the front door, known as the mouth of chi. The front door represents your public face and is believed to provide the path for abundance, prosperity and well-being to enter.

A clean, well-lit front entrance provides a beneficial welcome to anyone who enters. It lifts the chi as well as one?s mood and sets the tone for ?all things good? inside.

You may find it more convenient to enter your home through a garage or utility room instead of the front door. Certainly, there are benefits to entering your home where you are protected from the elements, can easily access the kitchen and kick off your shoes.

Should your home be one where the public entrance is not visible, ask yourself ?what is being hidden?? Perhaps the front door entrance trails along the wooden footpath and dodges to the left into a dark, ?yin? area. This entrance type is not conducive to a vibrant flow of life force.

Feng Shui adjustments to ensure proper chi flow into your home include regular use of the front door, well-groomed shrubs and clear footing. Above all, if you desire to use an alternative entrance be certain to enhance its beauty. Be mindful to have these spaces cheerful, clean and not utilized as a chaotic collection of cast-offs.
