The Year of the Tiger, 2010

In reference to the Chinese calendar the Chinese New Year begins on 4th February 2010 until 3rd February 2011. It should be clarified that in Feng Shui we work with the Hsia calendar or the Solar Calendar whilst Chinese New Year celebrations are based on the Lunar calendar which falls on the 14th February for 2010.

Feng Shui energies change from year to year, therefore it is necessary to watch for the re-allocation of positive and negative energies at the beginning of each year, so that we can take necessary precautions when the negative energy happens to arrive at important locations of our home and/or office or affects our Four Pillars (Chinese Astrology).

If you are born in the year of the Monkey, Tiger or Snake or have them anywhere in your Four Pillars chart it is best to wear a pig pendant for the whole of 2010 as it will help to harmonise any challenges you may experience, as you may find 2010 more challenging than previous years.

For people who are born in the year of the Rabbit, the Tiger year will bring “Flower of Romance” so one can anticipate a more sociable year with more opportunity to develop friendship with the opposite sex… People born in the year of the Monkey, Rat and Dragon will be into year of “Travelling Horse” and the Tiger year will trigger more travelling and movement.

People born in yin metal day or yin metal year – years ending with 1, such as1951, 1961, 1981, 1971 will meet nobleman in the year of tiger, this means they will encounter supportive people who brings them benefits and help.

Annual Flying Stars for 2010

The two most important and challenging energies to be aware of and remedy are the very challenging 5 yellow, symbolizing obstacles and misfortune located in the South West and the challenging sickness energy of the 2 in the North East. The energy of the 5 is the most negative energy of all the flying stars and you will need to use a brass metal wind chime in the South West sector of the garden and metal bells in the South West sector of your home. Hang them on a door or drawer that is used regularly to help suppress this negative energy and avoid the colour red in the South West area for 2010.

The number 2 flying star represents sickness and you will need a calabash and/or six Chinese coins tied with red ribbon located in the North East sector of the house for 2010. These are to aid in absorbing the negative sickness energy. Be extra careful if your main door is located in the South West or the North East sector in 2010.

The Grand Duke this year is in the North East whilst the Three Killings is located in the North, hence it is not favourable to “move earth” or make substantial construction work in these sectors. It is also not recommended for one to sit with back against North as you will be sitting against the unfavourable energy”". If this is unavoidable place a Dragon Tortoise facing North as it is said to appease the Grand Duke. A Pi Xiu can also be used for this purpose.

The positive energies of the 8 and 9 are located in the Centre and the North West sectors so if your front door or bedroom is located here you may find good opportunities coming your way for 2010 to improve your wealth, health and/or relationships.

It is important to remember that the annual flying stars are best to use in conjunction with the period star and the flying star of the building.

Monthly Flying Stars 7th December – 4th January

Monthly energies can be a trigger that may lead to an increase in certain types of experiences. If you spend long periods of time in an area such as working, sleeping or your entrance is located in a particular sector have a look below and see if you experience any of the issues mentioned below.  If so you may want to try a remedy and see if that helps to harmonise things.

SOUTH EAST – Arguing more? Problems with contracts? Some bright red here can work well such as a red vase or lamp. Don’t go overboard as we don’t want to activate any of your homes challenging energies.

SOUTH – Can’t find the perfect partner? Give the South sector a good clearing out and make the area as beautiful as possible. If your entrance is here you may find an improvement in opportunities to make money this month.

SOUTH WEST – Getting parking fines or having issues with authorities? Then give this area a good clutter clear.

WEST – Have you or your finances been sick more than usual this year? If you’re bedroom or main entrance is in the west that could be your problem. Place a brass calabash here as it will help to absorb this particular sickness energy. Given the monthly energy you may find a bit of reprieve in December.

NORTH WEST – The challenging 5 monthly star flies into the North West for December which could signify problems with the head or kidneys especially if your bedroom is here so placing the sound of metal here works well. This could be metal bells on a door or metallic ornaments.

NORTH – The energy in the north is challenging this year and the monthly energy feeds this so be careful if sleeping in this area of obstacles and general challenges. The sound of metal works well or a brass pagoda can be placed here.

NORTH EAST – Theft may be an issue so ensure your doors and windows are secure in this area of the house and a splash of red will help harmonise this energy.

EAST – Think before you speak – communication may be a problem and this is enhanced this month. If you find you are experience any digestive problems place a brass calabash in this area for the month of December

Important Note: These are monthly Feng Shui energies & this is general Feng Shui advice, without – obviously – taking into account your unique living situation.  Ideally, one has one’s house’s base Feng Shui done first.

How are we all Phoenixing in the wake of that Mars-Squared Full Moon???  It was bang-on my IC (cusp of the home sector) & squared by Mars fuqing around in my 6th so I hit the roof at my now-ex-Feng-Shui Master for various good reasons & went out to get a new one. A Gemini! This, for me, is major and SUCH a good damned fit with the Astro…What I love about it is only after-the-event did i think ’shit, that Full Moon was right on my IC and look what i did.”

So anyway, think what you realised – and with Mars squaring, there is always an element of irritation leading to this realisation, it’s NOT Zen Noire – and then see the New Moon on November 16/17 as the big new Scorpionic fresh beginning vibe. The Phoenixing. It starts now, obviously, but this is the culling stage.  And Saturn square Pluto so wants to help…Mars in Leo is kinda in v.loose and weird aspect to the pair of them so there is motivation galore.

Phoenixing Revelations micro and macro here please…

Remember also to notice how decisions or ideas make you FEEL…Excited? Hi-Qi?  Scattered? Low? Etc…

Every Dark Moon it seems, I am drawn back to this insane yet compelling Hoodoo Supplies Shop in New Orleans…I find myself there, every bit as inextricably as if i had been physically wandering past and lured in by a strong whiff of well…where do i begin??  This Essence Of Bend Over has an interesting story behind it.

And I love how the spells suggested for use with the love potions (incense, oils, washing powders) involve the reciting of Psalms…With the Follow Me Boy Vigil Candle, for example, the head Hoodoo Witch suggests using Psalm 23.  See Also Come To Me Oil.  I have been toying with the idea of ordering some of this stuff & doing a little blog-diary but i’m worried it might fuq up the Feng Shui. They’re different systems…i do love Psalm 23 though…

The Feng Shui was fuqed but thankfully, her frock was fantastic.  In Feng Shui, peeling paint or faded wallpaper symbolises fatigue and lack of zest for life. This year, the super-lucky number 8 is in the South-East of your abode, your zone to keep extra zooshed up and hi-Qi.

“…Researchers found that 88 per cent of homes polled contained at least one cluttered room – typically the spare room. Participants reported stashing clutter in their cupboards, garages and bedrooms…”

So I read that on the weekend and it flipped me out….88%???  I KNOW i am a freak for uncluttering (Mars in Virgo conjunct Pluto & Uranus in the 8th) but that stat surprised me.  Okay, what do you think??  I am so anti-clutter that i was looking at pictures of clutter to post and go so disturbed that i had to pace around finding a drawer to unclutter by way of quick therapy and i posted a pic of one of my fave books instead.

As with any Dark Moon, cleaning and uncluttering is so totally the cure for lunar lows but as the New Moon coming is going to be in Leo and Mars-sextiled, peeps are getting ponced up already…

Am reading this fascinating book…Obviously i love Feng Shui & Acupuncture -both work with enhancing Qi, one in the home & one in your body/soul matrix – but this is making me re-think Tai Chi. It used to always bore me. Does anyone practice Tai Chi or Qi-Gong???  Of course Qi is just the Chinese word for it. It’s also Prana & vital force…loads of different terms for It.

“Even now the stars, the planets, the elements, the creatures and ourselves; all of these move within and are penetrated and influenced by that original field of Qi. Qi is what causes the planets to maintain their orbits around the sun. It is the Qi that causes each snowflake to be unique and the Qi that shifts the moon  phases and the tides. Qi sustains our health and Qi si the force behind intelligence and emotions. Qi is the vitality that causes the evolution of a tiny embyro of dividing cells to mature into a full size human. The longing of the Qi of the earth to reach up and merge with the Qi of heaven drives a small sprout out of the seed  – upaward in spite of the force of gravity-to become a giant tree. Qi is known from the expressions that it embodies: the process of healing, the creativity that generates poetry and art; the transformation of tadpoles into frogs and caterpilars into butterflies. Qi is life force, energy and consciousness – it is the essence behind all effects, influences and events as well as all elements, materials and objects.”

So, basically, it is magic – no?

“…Taiwanese supermodel Lin Chiling on Monday appeared in a Taipei court to sue “Next Magazine” for trespassing on private property, slander, as well as threatening her privacy.  The weekly tabloid allegedly broke into Lin’s Taipei house in May 2006 while doing a story on the star’s love triangle between actor Jerry Yen and Qiu Shi Kai – son of a rich businessman. The magazine then hired a fengshui master to analyse the house’s interior design and furniture arrangement, thereafter publishing articles claiming Lin has intentions of marrying a rich man in the shortest time possible….” More here.

I would love to know how they instructed the breaker-inner on what to look for. Romance cures in Feng Shui are usually pretty subtle & say her bed was pointed in the Romance direction, how would that also prove she was wanting a rich man as such? Unless you are activating the notorious Peachblossom remedy, then it would be set up to bring you what my Feng Shui Master calls a “quality” relationship.

My Feng Shui Master actually told me a story about some weird Feng Shui to-doings in Los Angeles. She had dinner with the manager of this on particular star at some flash bar and she was led to believe the meeting was re her doing the Feng Shui for this star. Well it was but not as you would envisage. She said the manager had the worst Qi she had ever experienced, real dark and scattered, though that could have just been all the blow. Anyway, after some polite chit-chat, they got down to business and he asked my Feng Shui Master if it were possible to do “negative” Feng Shui. It transpired that he wanted his clients house “done” in such a way that it would bring her nothing but ill. For convoluted reasons that have to do with sex & perceived undermining of his ego by another ‘handler’ or agent type, he hated her. He asked if my F.S. Master could basically do the opposite of everything she would normally do. So my Feng Shui Master flat refused & this guy said well he’d fine somebody who would do it…I know who the star is, she was famous/successful then and now she is not.

31183Someone sent me this site - a new agie thing all about Ancient Egyptian metaphysics. Apparently – and I had never heard of this before & I’ve loved Ancient Egypt mythology et al since the age of about 4 – i had hieroglyphic pyjamas – they had their own version of Feng Shui – called Wedi Maat & a kind of Reiki…Hai Djerit. Every few years it seems some nouveau ancient form of energy healing or ‘art of placement’ emerges. But i think the reason Feng Shui, for instance, is so pervasive is that they have been consistently developing & evolving for thousands of years. And it is part of a wider whole body of learning…acupuncture etc.

Still, i love the idea of another batty pyramid-mania phase. My Aquarian Uncle ordered a mini pyramid in the 80s – he’d put blunt razor blades beneath it over night, because they were meant to be miraculously sharp by the morning & leave money there as well…in case it multiplied. Neither worked. The makers  of the mini-pyramid (purple, plastic) probably got the Sacred Geometry wrong.

There is an Egyptian astrology site here (am NOT endorsing it). I am an “Isis, known for my solidarity and cultivation of nobility.”
