CAREER A favourable year with plenty of opportunities. Choose the best of them, take the initiative, apply your analytical mind, shoulder responsibilities willingly and you will execute them successfully. However, there are 3 aspects for which you have to pay attention. First is that you have to be practical and realistic when fixing targets and accepting objectives. Secondly control your moods, be patient and become flexible enough to take along your team/colleagues with you - your success will greatly depend upon your social equations apart from your personal capabilities. Thirdly, stay away from provocations and rumours, as there are strong chances of betrayals and back-stabbings. Business persons will expand their sphere of activities but be prepared to handle dissensions and treachery. Install the statue of the Mentor Kuan Kung in the North West for guidance and protection. Salaried employees will get promotions and recognitions. Even though the time is favourable for switching jobs, by being loyal and proving yourself trustworthy, you can earn the goodwill of your superiors which will help you later. Make use of the chances that allow you to learn more skills, qualifications and experience : these are the instruments which will help you in the long run. You would fare better, if you are a professional speaker, singer, lawyer or salesman. In general, females will do better than males.

MONEY Excellent money luck. Some of you will enjoy some windfall luck too. Your earlier investments will yield additional income. Some could get their long due inheritance. If you are thinking of investing or authorising others, be extremely careful when drawing agreements or contracts. Chances of you getting cheated is real. You will loose money this year because of your friends or if you indemnify others on loans. Avoid impulsive buying. Plan your budget wisely and save as much as you could for the rainy days. If you are a male born in 1968, you could loose heavily by way of robberies.

HEALTH Heavy pressure from workloads and extreme mood swings will lead to lack of proper rest, sleep and face anxiety attacks and depression. Relax and unwind. Exercise and meditate. Some of you will experience heart related problems, infectious diseases, problems with kidneys and urinary bladder and diabetes. Injuries during robberies could happen. Take care of your dental health. Avoid taking cold, raw food. Hang a big, original Chinese Hu-Lu near your bedside, to suck out the circulating sick chi in your environment. If you are a male born in 1956, you could be getting into accidents while driving or travelling. Hang a golden Metal Chinese Wou-Lou in your car. You could lose a senior family member this year.

LOVE A good year for proposals, marriage and child bearing. Single females will be more fortunate than the single males. If you are married, you have to be alert against triangular love. Do not do anything that could hurt relationships. Avoid being over-friendly with colleagues and friends of opposite sex as that would provoke rumours and gossips, especially so as you are in poking-formation with the Year TaiSui (Grand Duke Jupiter). Because of this, some of you could face separations, even if temporary. It is better to take the blessings of the TaiSui this year, than oppose him. Display the genuine, energised photographs of "Feng Ji, the 2007 TaiSui" and the "TaiSui Protection Talisman for 2007" in the North West and carry their miniature versions in your pocket or wallet. Do not attend burial ceremonies or cremation rituals this year.

STUDIES An excellent year to prove your mettle by way of increased marks and ranks. Seize opportunities to expand your framework of learning. Involve yourself in learning a new language or skill. Remember that in 2007, the more time and energy you invest in your studies, the more rewards you get. Steer clear of doubtful personalities, misleading friends and disturbing relationships. You will loose a lot of money and some of your good reputation if you mingle with them.

Feng Shui And Home Staging

Staging your home in preparation for its sale is a very important factor you have to consider. It?s an effective way of attracting more buyers and speeding up your home sale. Just like marketing any product which entails good packaging, presenting a comfortable and organized home is always a plus.

In staging your home, you may want to incorporate some feng shui practices to increase your home?s value and attractiveness to buyers. It does not matter if you believe in this ancient Chinese practice. The important thing to remember is that feng shui just might contribute in the fast sale of your home and in selling it at a higher price.

The first thing you will have to focus on is to engage the senses of your prospective buyers in as many ways you can think of. A home that has lots of horizontal space will surely engage the sense of sight. So be sure to clear your kitchen counter tops, dressers and shelves. Keep in mind that most buyers go for a spacious home and not a crowded one. To engage the sense of smell, cinnamon or pine scents are highly recommended over the vanilla or floral scents. And to engage the sense of sound, a gentle or soothing music playing or the sound of a fountain during a buyer?s visit will be well appreciated.

First impression in home selling is vital for potential buyers. Make sure then that from your driveway and front yard up to the different rooms in your home, everything is pleasing to the eyes and provides a comfortable homey feeling. Feng shui should come into play in this aspect. The front door of your home should be clean and well-lit if a buyer is visiting after dark. A nice doormat should be in place and fresh flowers or plants should be on both sides of the entrance.

As early as possible, you should get your own personal stuff out of the house. This is to bring more positive and moving energy into the house. Take away all clutter from your front yard to the different parts of your home. Clutter is negative chi that can keep your energy down and might be passed on to your potential buyer if not thrown away. Clutter may take the form of dirt and dust as well as old and unused things like magazines, accessories and old clothes.

The kitchen should promote a friendly, healthy and prosperous atmosphere. Most buyers consider this room as the important part of the house. Better make yours sparkling clean and organized including your pantry. Be sure that your wastebaskets are out of sight, too.

As for the bathroom, always keep its door shut and the toilet lid down. Remember that potential buyers should never see a bathroom unless they actually go see it for themselves. These two powerful feng shui tips are meant to create positive energy into your home.

In home staging, presentation is key and with the application of feng shui guidelines, there?s a good chance that your home will draw buyers easily.

Spring is here and all the energy that was laying low and gaining strength over winter is blossoming forth. Spring is the time for new beginnings. Its a time of increased energy, new beginnings and sunshine moods.

These tips will help you harness this energy.

1. OPEN YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS The air inside your building is up to ten times more polluted than the air outside. This is due to building practices that seal the building against energy loss, and because of synthetic furnishings and carpets which are continually sending toxic vapors into your home.

6. DO YOU HAVE CLUTTER IN YOUR BEDROOM? Your bedroom is the most important room in your house because you spend so many hours in there. Clutter here will be affecting your health and relationships, and clutter under the bed affects you the most - it will be creating unconscious blocks as you sleep over it.

7. RE-ENERGIZE YOUR GOALS Are you one third of the way towards your goals for the year? What is blocking your way? Do you want to choose a new goal? Choose a goal and commit to taking one step towards it each day. Watch the progress you make and the momentum you create. Do this with a friend or your Coach and check in with them each day. Being accountable to someone else is often what it takes keep focused.

8. REDUCE THE STATIC IN YOUR LIFE Make a list of anything in your life that 'bugs' you and start clearing them up. What distracts you from doing the things you love to do and what distracts you at work? What can you do to resolve these issues?
