December 2016 Forecast by Mary Jane Kasliner


December 2016

New Beginnings






The focus for this month is new beginnings. You may be asking yourself; "how do I go about starting something new?" In my opinion, it requires meditation and contemplation to uncover what is stagnant in your life to catapult change.

The first step is to differentiate between meditation and contemplation. Meditation is a human mode of moving within to find a peaceful state of mind. Contemplation is divinely infused peace. If we were to associate an image to the various stages of meditation it would be water. Why? Think of how you grow plants from seeds. In addition to healthy soil and sunlight, plants requires water. It is this element that fuels growth in nature, the human body, mind and spirit. It is the daily watering or nurturing of our spirit by way of meditation and contemplation where the  answers that lie within are revealed to us.

In feng shui, the element of water fuels the growth of wood. Wood represents growth, new ideas, family roots, our desires and fortunate blessings. The aforementioned characteristics all play a part in starting something new. To cultivate water it requires going deep within the earth where the water tables fill to feed the shoots of growth. Man must do the same to cultivate growth; move deep within.

Tips to Catapult Change:

The environment acts as the macrocosm to YOU. Therefore, by implementing subtle changes in your surroundings you can start the energy moving in the direction of change or new beginnings.


  • In the east portent of your home activate strong wood by way of a well rooted plant. Add moving water in this same portent to fuel growth. This month is especially important to add moving water as it will activate inner wisdom and growth of material blessings in the form of finances.
  • In the southeast place a strong image of your desire of change or what you would like to enter your life as blessings. You can also place an intention along with this image.
  • In the south connect to your soul's mission by way of a vision board or image of where you want to be in life, what makes your heart sing, what you LOVE to do if money wasn't an issue.

Tips to Meditation & Contemplation:

Whatever you do in the outer world you need to complement it in the inner world. The following are a few tips to get you started.

  • Activate the northeast sector of your home with plenty of earth and fire elements. If you are not sure what those are refer to my my feng shui mini-series or feng shui design cd.
  • Get a meditation cushion and place it in a convenient area that you can see on a daily basis as a reminder to sit and meditate.
  • Download some relaxing music or guided meditation CD's. Play them often especially if you need assistance when meditating.
  • Read inspiring quotes on a daily basis 
  • Engage in repeated prayer or daily mantra

Tips to Opening Life Journey Sector:

In feng shui practice, the portent direction corresponding to life journey is north. The following are simple guidelines in activating this sector. For more tips see my feng shui design cd. Be sure to scroll down my publications page to find the cd.

  • Incorporate metal and water elements in the north sector of your home
  • Add images that are powerful or imposing structures such as a bridge or building
  • Add images of water scenes or fabrics that are flowing or movement in design
  • Choose an the image that compliments the south portent or your soul's mission as these two portents (south and north) work in synergy.
Yoga Practice:

Yoga  automatically moves you into a state of peace through the inward journey. This bodes especially well for the trigram Kan that is active in December. The Rat is also active this month so yoga and meditation will be extremely important as the rat tends to create a busy mind.  Concentrate on poses that activate the 1st,  3rd, 6th and 7th chakras. Feeling grounded, finding inner strength, tapping into your intuition and divine inspiration are all essential components for new beginnings. Here are some poses to activate the aforementioned chakras.

1st or Root Chakra: Warrior 1 or Warrior 2

                                                        Me:  Japanese Gardens Oregon

                                                          Me: Meditation Garden Oregon


3rd or Solar Chakra: Half Lord of the Fishes




6th or third Eye Chakra: Padmasana

                                                            My Daughter in Vietnam

                                                            Me: Arizona Airport


7th or Crown Chakra: Headstand




This month and every month feel the internal flow of prana and expand with it. Explore new beginnings and enjoy the journey!


Happy December!

Good morning! Welcome to the yang water tiger day. This combination just screams communication! Yang water stem is very active when it comes to sound communications. Use every tactic you know to get your point across including your intuition. Listen carefully, be flexible and go with the flow.

Feng Shui Astrology Lady Says...Dogged Determination!



Green tea with agave in hand and I am ready to write the forecast for today. The yin metal ox has a distinctive quality of dogged determination. Whatever it is you are trying to accomplish you will see significant strides today. There is an unusual level of confidence with this combination that can come off as being overly blunt. Go with it anyway as this is exactly how you will be able to accomplish your goals for today. The early part of the afternoon resources tend to be inconsistent. Stay focused anyway because things will fall into place by the end of the work day. Assistance will show up just at the right time.

President Donald J. Trump Astrology Chart Forecast!






Four Pillars Chart : Donald Trump


The following is derived from Donald Trumps's Birth Data:







         

    Year Pillar:

    Donald was born in the year of the Yang Fire Dog (1946). The year pillar represents the outer world and his relatives. As this pillar is considered the "social pillar," then it is how he portrays himself to the community. The Dog energy is one of altruistic behavior, caring and one of life's givers. The dog energy is always one to listen to people's problems and provide support. The dog is highly principled, excellent judges of character and highly developed when it comes to their intuition. Dogs do best serving and helping others. They prefer to specialize in one thing and very little can stop them from achieving their goals. The fire stem combines with the earth dog branch and adds a level of action when it comes to exploring new ideas. The fire dog is capable of achieving tremendous fame and fortune if he can get past his stubborn tendencies. Obviously Donald has been able to obtain fame and fortune. It is this yang fire stem that brings forth Donald's rather flamboyant and sometimes overwhelming aspects to his personality.

    The fire stem in the year pillar represents Donald's grandfather. The fire element fuels Donald's earth day stem, meaning Donald's grandfather was an asset to him and his best fan. He provided Donald with many resources as he was growing up and as a result Donald felt much comfort and gratitude towards his grandfather. His grandmother is represented by the Dog branch. She too assisted Donald as he was growing up. Donald felt a strong connection to his grandparents and his extended relatives.  

    As the year pillar is what Donald contributes directly to society, it is apparent there is heavenly guidance (by way of the fire stem), for primary resources. This means there is support available to him in all important aspects of his life. He encounters plenty of friends and competitors from society that can show up as clients, some of which can be challenging. Proper expression is also very apparent in this pillar for Donald. This simply means his creations (real estate) and achievements were earned mostly through individual efforts. As the fire stem creates the earthly branch, Donald is very generous and this can lead to loss of wealth. We shall see that in his month pillar by way of his bankruptcies.

    Month Branch:

    Donald was born in the month of June or the Horse month. This pillar reflects his immediate family and his business. First off, the yang wood stem represents his father and/or employer. The wood stem reflects proper power, meaning power is used in a way that benefits the greater good. The wood stem (representing his father/employer) does clash with Donald's earth day stem. This translates as pressure between Donald and his father. His father expected a great deal from him and this no doubt created stress for Donald. Luckily his mother and employees (represented by the Horse fire branch), diffuses this pressure and gives support back to Donald. This is why Donald feels supported by his employees. Furthermore, in Donald's business, he represents the wood stem in this (month) pillar, and as a result he fuels his employees. This would explain why his employees stay with him for a long time. 

    The Horse branch is an energy that can be rather wild. Think of a horse that loves to get out and just run. This is how Donald likes to operate his business; take off and run. Albeit this can be exciting, it can also make for impulsive actions. It is simply his excitement to jump in and get things moving to the finish line. The wood stem combines with the horse branch and this bodes well as it tempers some of the overactive nature of the horse. It brings an element of focus that can otherwise be lacking. The horse branch is also empty representing a karmic lesson for Donald when it comes to family and business. Since the horse's nature is one of constant motion, filled with energy and enthusiasm for life, there is a tendency for impulsive outbursts and multi-tasking to a major degree. The primary lesson for Donald in his family and  business life is to slow down and enjoy the magnificent circumstances that surround him. He may just be learning that lesson now in life when he announced his candidacy back in June recognizing it is time to share his magnificent life circumstances with the people of the United States.  

    The empty branch in this pillar does reflect possible difficulty with mother or nurturing relationship. In my opinion this stems more from his father placing undo pressure on Donald and his mother playing the part of the "fixer" when stress and tension rose between them.

    The Horse branch in this pillar is in a 6 combination to his day sheep branch releasing the element of fire or resource, albeit inconsistent at times for Donald when it comes to business, and his personal life. This combination does reawaken his karmic lessons of the Horse and Sheep, a gentle reminder to slow down, smell the roses and find independence instead of constantly needing reassurance.

    Donald's bankruptcies can be seen in this pillar due to the month stem generating the month branch - also known as generous but can become poor.


    Day Pillar:

    The earth day stem in Donald's chart is exceptionally strong at 52%. This is compounded by a 5 combination between the yang wood month stem to yin earth day stem. This is a follow strength chart! This would explain why Donald loves the real estate industry and why he decided to run for President. The element of earth is the great transformer! For Donald, his real estate represents his ability to transform properties. He has taken this transformation process further by running for the highest office in the land. It is time for his greatest transformation, the largest property owned by the American people; The United States of America.

    The element of earth, that is excessively weighted in his chart, is also about fairness. This is why you are constantly hearing him talk about things not being fair during this election process. Earth people are also great at managing organizations and this bodes well if he wins the election. However, as his earth is excessive in his chart it can also point to a controlling nature and rigid point of view. It was actually an excellent choice that he picked Mike Pence for his running mate because Mike has a Metal day stem and branch in his chart that helps to offset all of Trumps' Earth. Think of it as a taming source of balance.

    The Sheep is the branch in Donald's day pillar. As this pillar represents his marriage/relationship, there are two aspects that come to mind. First, the sheep can be very charming but doesn't like to be rushed or pressured. Sheep people are lovers of nature, can be easily hurt, and become upset in confrontational situations. They love to be around family and work within a group rather than alone. Now you may be shaking your head thinking; this isn't Donald! Since the day pillar is considered an inner pillar, then only those closest to Donald would recognize this part of his personality. I believe the American people have seen a glimpse of this side of Donald by way of his family support during this election process. Furthermore, we also have witnessed his outbursts when confronted with hostility or unfair biased media. 

    The Sheep branch is also empty meaning another karmic lesson for Donald. First off, an empty branch in this pillar usually suggests difficulties in marriage, and we have seen that in Donald's history. Albeit there have been divorces, his relationships are one of assistance rather than one party dominating the other (Earth Stem to Earth Branch). The karmic lesson when it comes to Donald's relationships is he needs to let go of the need to have constant reassurance and support and develop independence. I think we have seen this illustrated by Donald in his need to be accepted. Between the excessive earth in his chart and the karmic sheep lesson, it's understandable why Donald shouts out whenever he can how the election is rigged and unfair. Whether he is right or not, he simply can't help himself. He wants and needs fairness and reassurance. Finally, the earth branch and earth stem in this pillar are the same element suggesting he is strong and independent strengthened by his own roots.

    Hour Pillar:

    The hour pillar for Donald represents his sons, brothers, sisters, daughters and his middle age years. His sons and brother assist Donald completely. There is a synergistic relationship between them. His daughters and sisters have a fueling energy for Donald. They absolutely adore him and support his efforts as a parent would support their children. Donald recognizes this and shows his appreciation for them anytime he can. This too has been apparent during this election process. 

    The snake energy in this most inner pillar suggests two things. First, Donald knows intuitively how to work with finances. The snake is highly intelligent, deep thinker and will shed their skin several times throughout their lives taking on new business ventures. Snakes enjoy the challenge and I think that is very apparent if you look to all the businesses Donald has engaged in over his life time. Snakes prefer their own counsel rather than take advice from others. Many times snakes are interpreted as being secretive because they let very few, if any one, into their confidence. As the snake branch fuels the earth stem, this represents nourishing roots or a strong and healthy person in later years.

    Ox Sheep Clash:

    There is a clash between the ox branch in Donald's 10 year pillar to his sheep day branch. The undertones of this impending clash started in June when he announced he was running for POTUS. Hard work really began for him at this time and since he has come to realize how difficult being a politician can be. The clash places pressure on his marriage and we saw this with the media attention to past sexual conduct. His wife and family will stand by his side along with his close circle of friends. Albeit at times he will find resources to be inconsistent in that part of his life, and at times he will try to control that, he will ultimately find a way to rely on his past accolades to propel him forward, but not without hard work from his own efforts. This clash between the ox and sheep will also bring in a more philosophical nature for Donald over the next several years. Right now Donald is primarily experiencing the yin metal stem in his 10 year pillar that represents proper expression or his reliance on past accolades and achievements. 

    Fire Trine:

    Donald has a permanent full fire trine in his chart which is extremely powerful formed by the Snake, Sheep and Horse. This represents primary resources for all important aspects of Donald's life. This is one of the reasons why he is able to be so successful even with a zero percent of water (represents wealth) in his chart. Instead, Donald portrays that zero percent of water through his inability to effectively communicate. Communication skills are represented by the element of water and in his chart is 0%. However, with such heavy earth producing a natural transition to metal and water, Donald is learning how to speak more effectively. 

    This fire trine along with the yang fire stem in Donald's year pillar is why he is seen as flamboyant in society and somewhat overwhelming.

    2016:

    In the first 6 months of this year Donald had a strong surge of primary resources. He had support in all areas of his life, goals easily reached, relationships easily defined and obstacles overcome. This was the perfect backing that catapulted Donald to the run for POTUS. July through August was an important time for Donald to rely on his past accolades to convince the American people he has what it takes to be President. From September to present Donald is up against some really challenging people. As luck would have it however, there are more and more people gathering around him who are supporting him and this is primarily due to the large crowds of people who come to his ralleys.  From the end of November through January Donald will move into primary wealth. If he wins the presidency (we now know he has), his wealth is leading this nation. If he did not win, he would experience this primary wealth as another real estate transaction.

    The monkey branch in the 2016 pillar forms a 6 combination to his snake hour pillar.This results in the element of water. This bodes well for Donald, as it brings in the quality of improved communications.

    Heavenly Noble:

    Donald's yin earth day stem combines with the Monkey 2016 branch and forms a heavenly noble. This means that his wife acts as a benefactor for him when he feels stressed or in trouble. I believe his wife Melania has demonstrated that to the public during this election process.

    Prosperity:

    Donald has the prosperity point between his yin earth day stem and horse month branch indicating much wealth in business regardless of his 0% of wealth element of water. Once again that element is showing up as a deficiency in his ability to communicate with finesse. This extreme wealth is due to this prosperity star in the business or strong month pillar. With a friendly parallel in his hour pillar indicates that he is happy to share his prosperity with others. 

    Sword: 

    A sword is formed between his yin earth stem and snake hour branch indicating he can be hurt or loose money to children by extension of relationships. We all know how much money he had to give to Ivana, his first wife. Need I say more.

    Golden Carriage:

    The 2016 Monkey branch forms a golden carriage with Donald's yin earth day stem meaning social good ranking for the remainder of 2016 (until February 2017). After that...Another report!

    Conclusion:

    Since I originally posted this report we have come to learn Donald J. Trump is our next President. May God Bless him, the American people and the Great Nation!

Between the excessive earth in his chart and the karmic sheep lesson, it's understandable why Donald shouts out whenever he can how the election is rigged and unfair. Whether he is right or not, he simply can't help himself. He wants and needs fairness and reassurance. Finally, the earth branch and earth stem in this pillar are the same element suggesting he is strong and independent strengthened by his own roots. 

    Hour Pillar:

    The hour pillar for Donald represents his sons, brothers, sisters, daughters and his middle age years. His sons and brother assist Donald completely. There is a synergistic relationship between them. His daughters and sisters have a fueling energy for Donald. They absolutely adore him and support his efforts as a parent would support their children. Donald recognizes this and shows his appreciation for them anytime he can. This too has been apparent during this election process. 

    The snake energy in this most inner pillar suggests two things. First, Donald knows intuitively how to work with finances. The snake is highly intelligent, deep thinker and will shed their skin several times throughout their lives taking on new business ventures. Snakes enjoy the challenge and I think that is very apparent if you look to all the businesses Donald has engaged in over his life time. Snakes prefer their own counsel rather than take advice from others. Many times snakes are interpreted as being secretive because they let very few, if any one, into their confidence. As the snake branch fuels the earth stem, this represents nourishing roots or a strong and healthy person in later years.

    Ox Sheep Clash:

    There is a clash between the ox branch in Donald's 10 year pillar to his sheep day branch. The undertones of this impending clash started in June when he announced he was running for POTUS. Hard work really began for him at this time and since he has come to realize how difficult being a politician can be. The clash places pressure on his marriage and we saw this with the media attention to past sexual conduct. His wife and family will stand by his side along with his close circle of friends. Albeit at times he will find resources to be inconsistent in that part of his life, and at times he will try to control that, he will ultimately find a way to rely on his past accolades to propel him forward, but not without hard work from his own efforts. This clash between the ox and sheep will also bring in a more philosophical nature for Donald over the next several years. Right now Donald is primarily experiencing the yin metal stem in his 10 year pillar that represents proper expression or his reliance on past accolades and achievements. 

    Fire Trine:

    Donald has a permanent full fire trine in his chart which is extremely powerful formed by the Snake, Sheep and Horse. This represents primary resources for all important aspects of Donald's life. This is one of the reasons why he is able to be so successful even with a zero percent of water (represents wealth) in his chart. Instead, Donald portrays that zero percent of water through his inability to effectively communicate. Communication skills are represented by the element of water and in his chart is 0%. However, with such heavy earth producing a natural transition to metal and water, Donald is learning how to speak more effectively. 

    This fire trine along with the yang fire stem in Donald's year pillar is why he is seen as flamboyant in society and somewhat overwhelming.

    2016:

    In the first 6 months of this year Donald had a strong surge of primary resources. He had support in all areas of his life, goals easily reached, relationships easily defined and obstacles overcome. This was the perfect backing that catapulted Donald to the run for POTUS. July through August was an important time for Donald to rely on his past accolades to convince the American people he has what it takes to be President. From September to present Donald is up against some really challenging people. As luck would have it however, there are more and more people gathering around him who are supporting him and this is primarily due to the large crowds of people who come to his ralleys.  From the end of November through January Donald will move into primary wealth. If he wins the presidency his wealth is leading this nation. If he does not, he will experience this primary wealth as another real estate transaction.

    The monkey branch in the 2016 pillar forms a 6 combination to his snake hour pillar.This results in the element of water. This bodes well for Donald, as it brings in the quality of improved communications.

    Heavenly Noble:

    Donald's yin earth day stem combines with the Monkey 2016 branch and forms a heavenly noble. This means that his wife acts as a benefactor for him when he feels stressed or in trouble. I believe his wife Melania has demonstrated that to the public during this election process.


    Prosperity:

    Donald has the prosperity point between his yin earth day stem and horse month branch indicating much wealth in business regardless of his 0% of wealth element of water. Once again that element is showing up as a deficiency in his ability to communicate with finesse. This extreme wealth is due to this prosperity star in the business or strong month pillar. With a friendly parallel in his hour pillar indicates that he is happy to share his prosperity with others. 

    Sword: 

    A sword is formed between his yin earth stem and snake hour branch indicating he can be hurt or loose money to children by extension of relationships. We all know how much money he had to give to Ivana, his first wife. Need I say more.

    Golden Carriage:

    The 2016 Monkey branch forms a golden carriage with Donald's yin earth day stem meaning social good ranking for the remainder of 2016 (until February 2017). After that...Another report!

    Conclusion:

    Albeit this seems to be a lot of information, there are still other aspects to a full report. As you can see we will have to stay tuned for Hillary's interpretation until tomorrow, as I am off to go teach a yoga class with Pie in the Sky Yogini! 

    Don't forget to go out and vote tomorrow. Your vote does count!

Feng Shui Astrology Lady Says...Competitive Spirit!



Happy Friday! We all made it to the end of the week to welcome in the metal tiger. The element of metal is exceptionally strong this morning. Take advantage of the metal qualities by examining your present and future goals. This requires mental acuity and organization internally and externally. This combination reflects heightened assertiveness and a competitive spirit with one goal in mind; to move upward. There is however tension between the metal stem and the wood branch and as a result there is a tendency to force and control situations. It is best to ease the tension with the qualities of water - listen and communicate your ideas clearly. If you can successfully do this unexpected income opportunity will arise.

Enjoy your weekend!

Feng Shui Astrology Lady Says...New Opportunities?



This Thursday morning the earth stem combines with the ox branch. That's a great deal of earth rising for today. Earth is a great transformer, stabilizer and ground decision making type of energy. In combination with the ox branch opens the door of opportunities just waiting to be explored. Realize this doesn't come with some work and I mean the kind of work that will require rolling up your sleeves and really delving in full throttle. The good thing is those who are close to you are willing to lend a hand or if nothing else offer some advice and expertise.

The earth ox is a very reliable and yet sensitive combination of energy. This bodes extremely well considering the amount of effort and work that goes in to a new opportunity. Don't hesitate to expound on your skills as it will work in your favor.

Coming Together - November 2016 Forecast!



Vietnam Caves



Happy November! Time is moving at quite a clip. I guess it's time to slow things down a bit, and just in time for the month of November. This month is all about coming together (a welcome after this election process), spending time with family, close friends and significant other. The matriarch is front and center stage so pay attention to her needs and advice that she may offer. The earth pig swings into action this month as well so there will be plenty of opportunities to indulge in life's pleasures.

The trigram Kun or loshu number 2 takes the center of the flying star map this month. Therefore, everyone is subject to the aforementioned "coming together" energy. This not only pertains to family, friends and significant other but also to partnerships in business. Kun is about understanding that we can do more with others than going it alone. In order for you to feel fully confident in gathering with others it is paramount you connect with your authentic self. How? Make it top priority to spend alone time on a daily basis. Get to know thyself so you can understand and appreciate others. 


Tips on how to know thyself:


  1. Create a sacred space (in the northeast sector if possible) where you can go and not be disturbed. 
  2. Make sure you include items such as comfortable seating, low lighting source (natural/organic candles are perfect), soothing music, essential oils, uplifting and sacred images.
  3. Infuse plenty of earth elements such as a dish of your favorite stones, ceramic statue of either your power animal or being of wisdom.
  4. A journal so you can input your thoughts, prayers or positive affirmations for daily reading.
  5. Meditation cushion or extra floor pillows.
  6. Sit back and relax for 20 minutes a day and enjoy getting to know YOU!



By setting the time daily to get in touch with your authentic self it is much easier to see the divine nature of others. There are ways to enhance and cultivate relationships with others. Here are a few ways you can do so.

Tips on cultivating relationships:

1. Remove any clutter from the southwest area of your home or office environment.
2. Choose fire and earth elements to decorate this area from color choices to furnishings.
3. Include plenty of pairing images signifying partnering energy.
4. Make sure the back of your home is well supported with high enough vegetation.
5. Arrange seating to open up conversation.





The 2 Kun Star:

With the trigram Kun (2) taking the center of the environment, or flying star grid, there are other energies that will surface that should be taken into consideration.

1. The down side to this trigram is the abdominal region of the body. In other words, this month stomach flu or upset stomach due to spoiled food has a higher percentage of occurring. The element of metal is effective (as a general assessment - meaning not personal to your environment), placed in the center of the structure is a good remedy. For personal consulting assessment email me.

2. New business ideas or start-ups require lots of networking and guidance from a mentor. There will be struggles as there is pressure. The more you can listen and communicate effectively the better.

3. Take time for fun time when it comes to your significant other. Furthermore, pull out some good books or go see a good movie and share in the entertainment.

4. Be mindful of shoulders, hands and wrists this month. There is a negative energy that can leave these body parts vulnerable. Furthermore, you will also find your mind to be a bit chaotic this month. All the reason to spend time with self and meditate.

5. Be lofty with your goals this month and take on a leadership position to pursue them. Sky is the limit with heavenly guidance assisting you on the journey.

6. Be creative in your approach to work but keep new developments under wraps around those you intuitively do not trust.

7. As you connect to authentic self you will attract the right person or people for long terms success financially. Seek real estate this month and listen to the advice of elder female.

8. Family and elders will have great ideas for your goals to flourish, so tune in!

9. Let abundance flow like water. Look, listen and feel what is being said on both sides of the veil.


Earth Pig:

The earth pig combination brings the final touches for this month with a combination of outgoing, reliable and realistic ambitions.  Financial matters comes easily in terms of making good decisions. This makes the month of November a good time for reviewing your finances and making the necessary changes, if need be. 

The earth pig doesn't lack for friends or the desire to party it up this month. Just be mindful to do things in moderation. This is compounded by the fact of earth holding back the water pig. Metal is the bridging element, so this month it will also be very important to organize your external and internal environment.



Yoga Practice:


Lots of earth rolls in this month between the trigram Kun and the Earth stem. Earth is a perfect element for the practice of yoga - grounding for the mind, body and spirit. Since Kun is a twinning energy, this is a perfect time to try partner yoga! If you never tried a partner yoga class it is worth it. It's a great way to get closer to your partner or simply get deeper into a pose with the assistance of another yogi. 

Since the pig is a water element it will be especially important to take classes that flow. Generally, any vinyasa style class should follow a flowing theme. So roll out your yoga mat this month and have some fun flowing with your partner or your favorite yoga buddy!



Happy November & Happy Thanksgiving!

Feng Shui Astrology Lady Says...Take a Risk!



Did you miss me yesterday? Let's just say a hard drive crash was the issue. So here I am new computer and all to fill you in for today's energy. The yin fire pig combines for a wonderful outcome that does require taking some risks in order to meet your objectives. Being confident and forthright in your view is highly recommended for those you encounter in the business world as it will lead to the next step. Just make sure you do follow your instincts as there is the possibility for things going south. If you remain focused and true to your core then plenty of resources will come your way to support every aspect you are looking to.
