Ms. Feng Shui Tea Totaler Says : Follow the Sun!

Good Thursday morning! Sipping my cup of tea as the sun is streaming in through my window. Following the sun on its journey around the room on a sunny day makes for some interesting feng shui design. Notice how the light quality changes depending on the angle at which the sunlight falls through the window. Plan your interior decor to make the most of such daily and seasonal changes. For example, my den is positioned between the east and southeast portents. This is a very energetic room as the sun is in its ascent position so the ions in the atmosphere are full and fresh. Water and wood elements in decor work fabulous in this room along with a dash of fire. A beautiful stained glass throws a rainbow of colors across the room. What works just as effectively and looks great is several color glass bottles filled with water. Place on window ledge and you have a fabulous look!

Feng Shui Astrology Lady Says... Confidence

The yin water sheep combines for an interesting combination of energy for today. The stem and branch are in conflict with the branch holding back the water stem. Expect to deal with some stress today whether it is lack of follow through from others, electronic difficulties or simply a multitude of items stacking up on your "to do' list. Try to sift through it all with an open mind. The good aspect of this combination is an unexpected opportunity may arise. You will notice this but question your abilities to handle it. Be more confident and trust in what you do know. Watch spending later this afternoon!

Today the yin earth rabbit combines for an interesting energy combination. It was important to take some time out this morning and meditation or take a yoga class so you can remain grounded for this afternoon. The earth stem moves to the wood rabbit and creates some tension. You may find you are rushing and struggling to catch up with your workload today and as a result you may feel compelled to force things and issues that aren't quite ready to put into action. Don't let others pressure you either. Just do what you can and let the rest move to tomorrow "to do list." In order to ease some of this tension infuse the qualities of metal and water. In other words, be methodical with your approach to things today and try to listen before jumping to respond. Go with the flow and you'll find your day to level at just perfectly.

The yang wood dog combination brings in a variety of energy for today. First off, the morning hours are very busy when it comes to making a list of all the projects you want to move from the drawing board into reality. The afternoon is packed with new opportunity that leads to unexpected income from either short term work or venture that requires your skills and expertise. Set aside any new income for future projects and plans when it comes to your career. Dynamic wealth is more about money that comes in but goes right back out so is you find yourself spending money today be cognizant of a budget.

Ms. Feng Shui Tea Totaler: Summer Solstice in and Around the Home!

Illustrator: www.anncurchgaglianoillustrator.com

What's happening in nature for this day to be called the "Summer Solstice?" On this day for us in the Northern Hemisphere it marks the longest day of the year. 

Ancient cultures knew that the sun’s path across the sky, the length of daylight, and the location of the sunrise and sunset all shifted in a regular way throughout the year.

They built monuments, such as Stonehenge, to follow the sun’s yearly progress.

Today, we know that the solstice is an astronomical event, caused by Earth’s tilt on its axis and its motion in orbit around the sun.

Because Earth doesn’t orbit upright. Instead, our world is tilted on its axis by 23-and-a-half degrees, Earth’s Northern and Southern Hemispheres trade places in receiving the sun’s light and warmth most directly.

At the June solstice, Earth is positioned in its orbit so that our world’s North Pole is leaning most toward the sun. As seen from Earth, the sun is directly overhead at noon 23 1/2 degrees north of the equator, at an imaginary line encircling the globe known as the Tropic of Cancer.

Okay, so that took me an entire cup of tea to explain. So what can you do in and around your home to ignite this fire energy? 

• In the south portent of your home or office, fuel the fire energy with wood elements such as a healthy plant or beautiful landscape scenery.
• Assist the fire direction (south) with fire elements such as candles, incense, plug in essential oil burner, animal images, pyramid or star shaped decorative ornaments.
• Think about the goals you would like to accomplish over the summer and post them on a vision board so you can view them daily.
• Add splashes of wood and fire color hues as accent colors to the south portent.
• Think about what makes your heart sing and follow that path.
• Clean your windows and improve your vision - and I don't just mean your physical vision but your vision in terms of your life mission and goals.
• Landscape the south portion of your property with fire color flowers (reds).
• Add a fire-pit or BBQ to this sector especially if the south direction is located in the back of your home.
• Place pyramid shape trellis in this portent for plants to grow upward.
• Incorporate landscape lighting or lanterns in this direction (south).

For other great ways to enhance all 8 directions in your home, office or property delve into any one or all of my feng shui mini-programs. They are fun and simple to use and highly effective in changing your life experience!

Happy Summer Solstice!

Ms. Feng Shui Tea-Totaler - Herb Garden

This is the time of year I love to plant a little herb garden. Here are some simple feng shui guidelines to create a fabulous garden.

• The east, southeast or south are great elemental directions to create this little life garden. When planted in the east, it assists with family gatherings and the simple pleasure of sharing a meal that is dressed with home grown herbs. Should you choose to plant your garden in the southeast or the south it will assist and fuel fortunate blessings that soothe the soul.

• Create some movement in your garden with a bird feeder or bird bath. Attracting the life force of birds makes a wonderful addition to your garden. If you prefer a flag or gazing ball to create movement that works too.

• Add different materials and textures to your garden environment such as wood chips, gravel, or stones. This not only looks visually attractive but will also move the energy in different patterns.

• Add a water feature and create the feel of a pond or stream. This element is very soothing to listen to while gardening.

Have fun creating your herb garden this season and spread the joy!
