It is a powerful combination when it comes to problem solving situations. If there is a major dilemma you are confronted with, today is the day to tackle it.

Ms. Feng Shui Tea Totaler: Hallways & Staircases!

Illustrator: www.anncurchgaglianoillustrator.com

Hallways and staircases. They always seem to be an issue in the world of feng shui. Why is that? Well, first off they are the purveyors of chi (energy) within a house or building. Depending on the configuration and location of the hallway or staircase will determine if the energy is positive or destructive. Here are a few pointers to keep in mind.

• Long hallways that connect front and back door entrances create an instability when it comes to how fast energy  is moving. It is best to moderate the flow of energy incorporating floor runners, artwork, upward lighting, or wall mural design.
• Make sure all hallways and staircase are clutter-free! Remember, these structures represent the veins and arteries of the home and the human body, as the microcosm to the structure.
• Avoid spiral staircases. Albeit they look visually appealing, they cause energy to funnel. This doesn't bode well and especially if positioned in the center of the structure. If you have this case scenario then it is best to soften the effect with soft plant positioned at the base of the staircase along with an upward lighting fixture. This tends to soften the effects of the open footed stair design.
• Staircase in the center of a structure will actually pierce the heart of the home. Physical heart conditions are more prevalent for occupants living in such designs. It is also very destabilizing for the entire structure. It is best to grounded the energy with earth elements positioned along the staircase. For example, artwork with mountain scenes mounted on the staircase wall or stone pillar with stone statue positioned on landing. The earth element will help to anchor the otherwise chaotic energy movement. Obviously painting the staircase walls an earth color hue would also be very effective.
• Narrow steep staircases cause energy to move too quickly. Create an illusion by hanging artwork that is horizontal in design. This will balance the otherwise steep vertical pitch.
• Staircases positioned at the door entrance also creates a problem. Energy tends to move directly upwards to the second floor before having a chance to move through the first floor. Anything from active lighting fixture, inset brass stair rails with decorative carpet, to floor plant, decorative throw for banister edge, or if there is enough space in entrance foyer add a round table with decorative vase and floral arrangement.

Have some fun with your hallways and staircases and let the energy grace your home peacefully.

Feng Shui Astrology Lady Says...Be Practical and Imaginative!

Today the wood heavenly stem combines with the earthly dragon branch. There are a couple of aspects this combination creates. First, there is conflict between the stem and branch so you may find you put a great deal of pressure on yourself by over thinking matters. This can translate into actual physical exhaustion - the mind driving the body too hard. Best to infuse the element of fire to ease the tension between wood and earth. What does that mean? Take time out in your day for actual physical exercise. At work think about clarifying your goals, being practical about them and injecting an aspect of your imagination to them. This combination provides the drive to put into action original ideas that in the long run will elicit new clients.

The next aspect to consider with this combination is to tap in to your resources. There are plenty of people who will back and support your ideas and services. This bodes exceptionally well for finances and unexpected opportunities. One thing however to keep in mind is the dragon branch is empty. This means there is a tendency to puff up yourself. Forget it, no need to do so.

Illustration - www.anncurchgaglianoillustrator.com

Today there is a combination between the yin fore stem and metal rooster. Once again there is friction between the stem and branch. Therefore, it is best to infuse the qualities of earth to mitigate the otherwise controlling combination. Qualities of earth include feeling stable and grounded while performing your job. Whatever it takes to maintain a sense of stability today do so. The easiest way to achieve that is to simply meditate, take some down-time before delving into your work.

The fire rooster is also notorious for being rather blunt and by-passing the feelings of others. Tactful behavior is best and will go a long way when it comes to achieving the result you want. Take time to organize your thoughts and environment today for the best outcome.

Feng Shi Astrology Lady Says...Avoid Distractions!

Today there is a combination between the fire stem and metal monkey branch. This is a clash of elements between fire and metal. Take note of any potential electrical issues as these elements can easily blow fuses or switches in your home or office along with any other electrical malfunctions with travel. The fire stem is the controller so you can also expect physical fatigue due to mental pressure.

The monkey energy this afternoon may result in you bouncing from one project to another and create distraction from getting your work done. Today, you would benefit tremendously by sticking to your list of things to do. Watch spending this afternoon as well.

Feng Shui Astrology Lady Says...Think Things Through!

The yang metal tiger is an aggressive combination of energy that creates quick reactions. It is best however to think things through today especially since the stem (metal) is in opposition to the wood tiger branch. Taking the time to listen and communicate effectively while going with the flow of things will bode best. This afternoon you may find there is resistance when trying to get things done. Unexpected job may come your way but any money made from it can easily be spent. Try not to force an issue just because resources seem scarce. Best to take two step back and think it over.
