Feng shui (traditional Chinese: 風水; simplified Chinese: 风水; pinyin: fēng shuǐ; pronounced /ˈfəŋˌʃueɪ/ foong-shoy in Chinese Mandarin, "fheng-schway" in American English) is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to utilize the Laws of both heaven (astronomy) and Earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive Qi. The original designation for the discipline is Kan Yu (traditional Chinese: 堪輿; simplified Chinese: 堪舆; pinyin: kānyú; literally: Tao of heaven and earth).

The words feng shui literally translate as "wind-water" in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the following passage of the Zhangshu (Book of Burial) by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty:

Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.

Traditional Feng Shui practice always requires an extremely accurate Chinese compass, or Luo Pan, in order to determine the directions in finding any auspicious sector in a desired location.

Feng Shui Flying Stars - January 2009

What to look out for this month

January 6th - February 3rd, 2009

The energies of the directions will change and therefore we need to prepare and know what to expect!

This is a general overview. The Stars react differently based on the sitting and facing of your home so you should be aware of these directions.

For January 2009:

Southeast:

The number 5 star (a negative star) flies into the southeast bringing bad luck and illness. If you are residing in this sector -be careful with all decisions this month. And place some metal in this sector for the month.

South:

The 5 - 1 combination is one of water and earth which is not ideal - be careful if you are playing sports or in general guard against accidents. A medicine buddha or symbols of prosperity and victory will help here.

Southwest:

The 7-3 combination again is a difficult one and can cause concerns with arguments and fights so be careful with your words and actions if you reside in this sector. If this is your bedroom - add some blue (a blue rhinoceros is always auspicious) and focus on symbols of friendship and peace.

East:

A great combination for prosperity and success. If your office is located in this sector it will be a great month for business as your prospects increase! Great for students as well, a water feature and a dragon symbol will help boost this great energy this month.

Centre:

The 6 star brings good luck with it and this energy permeates throughout the house. Keep this energy alive with yang (lots of activity here) and lights!

West:

8 brings with it prosperity to those who reside here! A water feature would work well here, although keep children out of this area as this strong energy may cause them minor illness.

Northeast:

A great place to study for exams or to write your novel! Creativity is featured here this month! Also great for romance and family - Mandarin ducks, family portraits, mentor symbols and crystal points work well here.

North:

The 2 star is know for illness so be cautious (in particular men of the family) if you reside here. A wu lu beside your bedside (or other metal rounded sculpture) will help you keep healthy. However there is also career prospects here -- so if you reside here, make sure your money frog is in place or any symbols of wealth and prosperity.

Northwest:

The 7 violent star combined with the 2 star is not good news. Be careful with burglary here - make sure you alarm system is up to date and doors and windows locked if this is your front door. Keep protection symbols in this area this month.

Remember these are only general guidelines and it is best to do a full audit of your home in order to benefit the most from the changing energies of the stars!
