I believe . . . in the Earth Element
I believe . . . in the holidays, Santa Claus, and happy homes with Feng Shui. Not feeling so stable in the rush and fuss of the season? Then add some grounding, stable Earth Elements to your space. Go for the obvious by adding things made of earth, things that are shaped like earth (squares), and things colored like earth (earth tones like yellows, oranges, dusty mauves, browns, beiges (even blue and pink). Then go beyond the norm and think square boxes under the tree, handmade clay ornaments, heavy objects, pillows and throws that are square...
read morePut the Tree in the Water and watch what grows
You’ll be dreaming of a blue Christmas if you place your Christmas tree in the Water Element; the front, middle of your home. (Need help locating that gua/area of your home? Download a Bagua Map at www.greenfengshuilady.com/downloads.) As you can imagine, your tree will soak up the Water Element energy in this location so make sure your tree is full of water (you may have to water it more often in this location). The colors associated with the Water Element are blacks, blues, and deep greens. Make sure you incorporate those deep, jewel-toned...
read moreTree in the Metal but we can Balance it out
More tree placement Feng Shui to help get your Christmas tree in the perfect location. The Metal Element and tree placement is more problematic than any other as the shape of the tree (Fire) melts Metal, the Element of Helpful People & Travel (front right) and Creativity & Children (middle right). If it’s all speed ahead, think of a metallic, white Christmas. Use the colors of metal (whites, pastels, and metallics), the shape of metal (round), and the element itself, Metal, to get your chi pumping. It’s going to be a tinsel town of...
read moreTwin Celtic Elder Tree Feng Shui
Today is my childhood friends birthday, twins Robbie and Jamie. So for you I share the lore of the Celtic Tree Month of Elder, The Seeker. The Elder Tree month began November 25th and runs through December 23rd. The Elder tree personality is the essence of freedom and contradiction. Like your Sagittarian zodiac sign, you represent opposites; you seek the thrills in life yet are very philosophical about it all; this life, the universe, everything. (It’s like you’re the answer for everyone around you; ’42’ for all you Douglas Adams...
read moreTree in the Earth Placement
More tree placement Feng Shui; after all, we have 5 Elements and this is only the 3rd. Placement of your Christmas tree in the Earth Element guas will have a more neutral effect on your home, so if things are going GOOD, you may want to consider placement here. So where is ‘here’ for the Earth Element? Lucky you, there’s three spots to choose from; the far back right (Relationships & Love), the middle (Health), or the front left (Wisdom, Skills, & Knowledge). This element is all about square shapes, ceramic/earthenware ornaments,...
read moreTree in the Fire Tips
Let’s continue the tree placement Feng Shui today. Another great place to situate the Holiday tree? My favorite spot in the home, the Fame & Reputation gua, the back center of your home. (Need help locating that gua/area of your home? Download a Bagua Map at www.greenfengshuilady.com/downloads.) In Feng Shui, the Wood Element feeds the Fire Element making this a great location to place that pine. Break out the fire colors of red, oranges, and yellows as well as the blues, greens and purples. Holiday trees are full of fire as represented...
read moreYou Put the Tree in the Wood
Today is THE happiest day. OK, I say that (a LOT) but I really mean it. It’s the day of the year that I get to bring a TREE inside my house and not get looked at funny. This Fire Element girl LOVES her some Wood Element; after all, it is the Element that feeds the Fire in me. So today I celebrate with the addition of a beautiful Christmas tree strategically placed in my Family & Daily Cash Wood gua (I have two wood sculptures that hang out all year long) along the left center of your home. (You can also soak up Wood Element love in the...
read moreThanksgiving Gratitude
Thanksgiving Day has arrived and brings with it the promise of abundance, family, love and luck! We have placed some Feng Shui cures around the home in the prior days to make our season of giving more harmonious. And here’s one more tradition to add, Feng Shui says that eating a pear after the sun sets on Thanksgiving Day will welcome a year filled with love, an extraordinary and amazing long life, enough money to fill that long life, and kick-start another year filled with even more gratitude and MORE good stuff. So be filled with...
read moreMourning Moon Feng Shui
Todays Full moon is called the Mourning Moon, the moon that shifts energy between harvest time (Samhain) and the rebirth of the year (Yule). It is a time to let go (that recurring Fall theme) of bad habits and releasing what is in the past; hence, the naming of the mourning moon. But it is also a moon that will see the Winter Solstice come to usher in longer days and reawakening the soul. Again, we see duality at this time of year. Use this moon’s energy to release your past while walking into the light of your future. Feng Shui teaches us...
read moreSagittarius Feng Shui Love
Welcome home Sagittarius sun! November 22nd through December 21st runs the sign of the Archer, Sagittarius. Sagittarians are a fire sign during the chill of Fall and transition into the cold of Winter making them the perfect seeker of a higher purpose, abundance, and making a difference in the world. The image of the Archer is a half-man, half-horse (centaur) symbolizing the Sagittarius desire to free herself from basic animal instinct and strive for a higher sense of self. Talk about wanting to find direction in life; the Archer is the...
