The days are getting shorter and shorter as the Winter Solstice comes closer. The 22nd will harken in the shortest day on the calendar and we’re all searching for ways to get more love and light. So let’s look to Feng Shui and the color scheme that denotes this festive time of the year: green and red. Green (Wood) represents springtime while red (Fire) represents summer. Both are good ways to welcome some balance into the most Yin time of the year. (Yin is the closing, retreating, dark, feminine energy of the Yin/Yang.) Yin energy can make us retreat and hibernate if we give in completely, so be sure to keep that up energy of Wood and joyful energy of Fire going in your life on these darker days of welcoming winter. Love and Light!
